#we’re just speedrunning the Gundam Seed/Seed Destiny experience now with Seed Freedom

Ha. I was being overly optimistic when I said I hope it’s the cut that’s going to be on the BD, because joke’s on me, they added another 2 epilogues that won’t be included on there, and will only be in theatre in Japan. 🙃

Surprise, surprise, looks like there’s going to be a new cut of Seed Freedom releasing in Japan ahead of the BD release this Christmas. The new trailer looks good for the redrawn scenes and it’s already said there’s going to be a new/updated epilogue (or maybe even multiple ones?)

Either way I’m glad they fixed some of the wonky parts in the movie (some more obvious than others) and I am so not surprised at Seed Freedom getting the “Final Plus” treatment - while I was okay with the “and Kira and Lacus flew off into the (metaphorical) sunset to have sex on the beach, Athrun returned to Orb to meet up with Cagalli, and Shinn and Luna (presumably) returned to the Millennium with Agnes” ending, I still have a lot of questions for how things ended up politically speaking. Foundation essentially ceased to exist in the space of a week so there’s got to be fall out from that. Plus the part where Orb was Very Obviously breaking the Junius Treaty with all the Mirage Colloid use on both the main space fleet and the Amazing Z’Gok, and also just having the Infinite Justice Type II 😅 Oh and also as part of that “flying off into the sunset” Kira and Lacus pretty much ran off with a Gundam even more powerful than the Destroy so that’s gotta raise even more questions across the board 😅😅😅

Either way, I look forward to seeing it, whether it’s another showing in the theatre or on the BD (I sure hope this is the cut we’re getting on the BD).
