As the Gundam property celebrates its 25th anniversary in Japan., Bandai Entertainment announced it plans to release Gundam Seed -- one of the more popular and recent Gundam incarnations -- on DVD and video in the U.S. sometime during Fall 2004. Bandai also announced a Gundam Seed toyline for later this year.
As we previously reported, Gundam Seed will premiere on Cartoon Network's Saturday SVES block on April 17th.
The Gundam Seed series begins a year after the outbreak of war between the Earth Alliance and the rebel space colonists known as Zaft. Radical new technologies, including advanced weapons called mobile suits, gave Zaft the edge over the Earth Alliance. With much of Earth now under the space colonist's control, the Alliance begins a desperate secret program to develop its own state-of-the-art mobile suits. Thus, Gundam Seed is born.
