Fans have reacted with comments such as, "This is exactly why we love it, playing 'Meteor' at just the right moment," "After a hard fight, when the song plays, it feels like, 'Now, it's time to rampage,' and I can't stop grinning," "When the intro to 'Meteor' plays, it feels like, 'We've won...'","'Meteor' is truly a divine song; I cried the moment it started playing," and "Every time this song plays, I get goosebumps." The "Mobile Suit Gundam SEED" series, which aired all 50 episodes from October 2002, was the first Gundam TV series produced in the 21st century. The story revolves around a conflict between genetically modified humans (Coordinators) and unmodified humans (Naturals), divided into the military organizations ZAFT and the Earth Alliance. Through this war, the struggles and growth of Kira Yamato, the Coordinator protagonist, are portrayed. The series not only captivated existing fans but also attracted a significant female audience, achieving a peak viewership of 8.0%. It sparked a second "Gunpla" boom among elementary school students, becoming a groundbreaking "new generation of Gundam series." The sequel TV series "Mobile Suit Gundam SEED DESTINY," which began airing in October 2004, surpassed its predecessor with a peak viewership of 8.2%. The series' total package sales exceeded an astonishing 4 million units, transcending the confines of a TV anime series to become a popular phenomenon across Japan with its music and events. The storyline of the completely new movie "Mobile Suit Gundam SEED FREEDOM" serves as a sequel to "Mobile Suit Gundam SEED DESTINY," unfolding a new story for Kira, Athrun, Shinn, and others in a world where the battle continues.
