The surprise new anime Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Recollection has made its debut within the smartphone game SD Gundam G Generation Eternal. Featuring new scenes with beloved characters Kira Yamato and Athrun Zala, as well as the debut of the new mobile suit “Dragoon Strike,” the project has quickly gained attention across the internet.

Gundam SEED Recollection serves as a bridge between the original Mobile Suit Gundam SEED (2002) and its sequel Gundam SEED DESTINY (2004). The story is split into two arcs: “Kira’s Battle” in the first half and “Athrun’s Battle” in the second half, each focusing on the respective character’s journey.

Fans online have reacted with enthusiasm:

“The amount of new content was way beyond what I expected.”
“It’s basically a brand-new SEED anime episode!”
“This new SEED story in G Generation has high-quality visuals and feels like two OVA episodes worth of footage!”
“While there aren't many battle scenes, all voices are newly recorded, and the plot fills the gap between SEED and DESTINY perfectly.”
