Gundam Seed Freedom Anime To Stream On Netflix From September 2024? Here’s What We Know

As a lifestyle expert with a deep-rooted affection for anime and a keen eye for quality storytelling, I must say that the upcoming release of Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Freedom on streaming platforms is a momentous occasion. Having followed the franchise since its inception, I have witnessed the trials and tribulations that led to this milestone.


In January 2024, Mobile Suit Gundam SEED debuted in Japanese cinemas and grossed more than $32 million, establishing itself as the most profitable film in the series to date. Since its initial release, the movie has been accessible on Netflix and Amazon Prime Video in Japan. As of September 1, 2024, it’s been confirmed that Mobile Suit Gundam SEED will be streamable on Netflix.

The movie is a follow-up to the Mobile Suit Gundam Seed/Destiny animated series. This film, helmed by director Mitsuo Fukuda, unfolds a year after the events depicted in the anime. Notably, Fukuda was also the director of the initial series. Production of Mobile Suit Gundam SEED commenced in 2006, but it faced delays due to the deteriorating health of scriptwriter Chiaki Morosawa, who tragically passed away in 2016.

As a long-time anime fan with over two decades of immersion in Japanese pop culture, I can confidently say that this upcoming film is a must-watch for any enthusiast. The fact that it features some of the biggest names in the industry, such as Sōichirō Hoshi, Rie Tanaka, Akira Ishida, Nanako Mori, Kenichi Suzumura, and Maaya Sakamoto, among others, is a testament to its quality. Their presence alone promises an unparalleled viewing experience that will surely transport me back to the golden age of anime. This film’s casting decisions are a clear indication that it will not only live up to but exceed expectations. I can hardly wait!
