mayoraaseiThere's actually precious little information about this (or these).
The news about the SEED movie came out ages ago, probably early last year, but there's still very little information on what the series is about. All we know, as we've known for the past year, that the movie will be a full feature-length movie, and not a compilation/recap. It will involve practically all the main characters. Lacus, as we've seen in Final Plus and the special editions (often considered "finalised" editions), has become part of the ZAFT council. Apparently Kira and Athrun both join the ZAFT elite force (the red uniforms)? Shinn and Lunamaria are both back in ZAFT, as one might expect. If that's true, I can't wait to see Kira in the red coat! XD It will take place in CE74, which, according to people's calculations, is not long after the war. Apparently - according to other people's calculations - the armoury theft was in October 73, so if we add up the assortment of battles, the entire mess would probably not have finished at least after March 74.
I'm still really irritated at Athrun's constant side-switching. And the scriptwriter is so damn clever that practically all enemies are eliminated at the end of GSD. The EA's annihilated, ZAFT needs rebuilding (and has been seized by Lacus et co), and Orb is under Cagalli's control.
It's time for that rebellion group in Africa to blow up the moon ^_~
They are also planning to make another Gundam series, on top of the current UC (the original Gundam) and CE (GS franchise) ones. Apparently, "the CE fans are entering university and in 10 years, we will need new fans to keep the franchise going", so the newest series will once again target the current 13-17 year old boys. It is supposedly scheduled for release in October this year, and there's a rumour that the director will be the same person who directed Full Metal Alchemist.
I'm kind of hoping they get a better director/scriptwriter on the team. GS had its highlights, but then GSD went along and shredded everything with its superiority complex, throwing all the main characters into political prominence. Lacus participating in underground anti-Zala organisations I can understand, but on the ZAFT council? Errrrmmmmm........ Kira being a uber-experienced pilot on one hand, but at the head of a squad team? Or (even worse!) as a general? Kira?! Kira who has never ever ever had any any leadership experience?! Who's fought every single battle, well, single-handedly (except the few times when he had Athrun or Mwu at his back)? He's barely ever worked in a team!
Maybe his squad name is Suicide Squad. HAHA.
Okay, that wasn't nice.
