#Mobile Suit Gundam Seed Freedom Is Coming to Malaysia In April

Malaysia’s Golden Screen Cinemas has announced that it will begin screening the Mobile Suit Gundam Seed Freedom movie on April 4. ODEX Private Limited is the film’s distributor.

Mobile Suit Gundam Seed Freedom premiered in Japan on January 26, with 4DX, MX4D, and Dolby Cinema screenings starting two weeks later on February 9. The movie has made over 3.48 billion yen (~US$23.09 million), the highest gross of any Gundam movie, as of February 26.

The sequel to 2002-2003’s Seed and 2004-2005’s Mobile Suit Gundam Seed Destiny sees the Kingdom of Foundation approaching the Lacus Clyne-led peacekeeping outfit C.OM.P.S. with a joint plan against the anti-Coordinator faction Blue Cosmos. A 2021 update revealed that the movie was in production, but the announcement of a Seed and Seed Destiny follow-up movie was made way back in 2006. The movie’s co-scriptwriter Chiaki Morosawa, who did the series composition for Seed and Seed Destiny, passed away from aortic dissection in 2016.

Gundam.info describes Seed, which introduced the Cosmic Era setting, as:

In Cosmic Era (C.E.) 70…

“The tensions mounted between the Earth Alliance and the ZAFT Forces caused by the ‘Bloody Valentine’ tragedy have erupted into an all-out war.” The Earth Alliance’s mobile armor forces and tanks launch…mobile suits are destroyed one after another…

“It seemed a foregone conclusion that the Earth Alliance, with its superior numbers, would be victorious. But this initial assessment proved to be false. Almost 11 months have passed since the conflict began, with no end in sight…”
