| To be honest I don't really want to watch the 100 episodes of Gundam SEED + Destiny before the theatrical release in April in France, but I would like to know if it's necessary (as I would like to watch this in a theater if I can) So I may ask you if it's possible or if I will be completely lost from the beginning to the end if I go in a theater to watch this with any knowledge of the series ? |
| To put it in perspective, Gundam SEED is Season 1, Gundam SEED Destiny is Season 2, and Gundam SEED Freedom is Season 3. So I think you can imagine yourself if it's a good idea to watch an anime series straight from Season 3 without watching the previous seasons first :)  |

| It's a sequel that takes place right after the Destiny with all the same cast so some familiarity is required. |

| You would genuinely be rather confused by most of the story and characters as nothing is really re explained. If all you want out of it is cool action and music then sure but you really would be missing out on a lot. |

| @InfinityDude88 Thank you for your answer, I would have guessed it but I wanted to be sure |

| @Theo1899 Ok thank you, I guess it will be useless to go watch it if I can't understand anything |
| There are a compilation of the television series called "Mobile Suit Gundam SEED: Special Edition" and "Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny: Special Edition". while all episodes of these movies conbined is still quite a amount of anime(92~94 minutes x 7 episode),still shorter than watching 101 episodes of 25 minutes anime. |
| In fact, I have already been to see this movie three times, but I think it would be foolhardy to see it without prior knowledge of the TV series. There is no short explanation of the story at the beginning of the film, so this is not a film for first-time viewers. However, I think it is a good idea to watch only the special edition as @thefrog1192 said, because it would be a hassle to watch the whole TV series. In fact, in Japan, some movie theaters showed the edition version before the FREEDOM movie as a way to review and prepare for the film. |

| @Mensualite no problem by the way there are a "short"(30 minutes) video about story of Gundam SEED and SEED DESTINY made by official Youtube account of GUNDAM franchise so watching this may help you https://youtu.be/yOzhctn33-Y https://youtu.be/Pr4BS-DI1Zc |
