I thought there was closure at the end of SEED. Then I thought there was closure at the end of Destiny. Like with Code Geass, if they want to make more, they'll just make more.

They give enough closure to end it, but at the same time there ares till blue cosmos remnants on earth by the end of the film. I would say the only conclusive closure is Lacus and Kiras relationship. They could cook something up given a 5 to 10 year jump.

considering all alternate universe are meant to end, I guess. But cosmic era has shown to exceed universal century in popularity and box office revenue shows. They can always make a prequel, ova, etc.

I bet they did not expect such success. We might get some Astray OVAs ^^

Stage greetings and events were held in January and February, and from the comments of the director and voice actors, it seemed that if they wanted to make a sequel, ...... It seemed as if they could make a sequel.

@Seiya0890 To be frank, I never imagined that it would reach the level of over 3 billion at the box office. The week after it was released, the Demon Slayer TV compilation plus an episode of the next series also started showing. Now they are doing a popularity contest, but since the Astray series is not in it, it will be difficult to release an OVA..

@kihel I see, tbh I would prefer they don't touch the current cast again. At first I was scared of this movie as it was the occasion to kill Kira & Lacus. I don't want to give them another chance ahah

I sure hope it is. I admit it actually seems like an okay movie for what it is, a nostalgia bait cash grab an astronomically successful one at that from the looks of it. I bet they don't even talk about the space whales. Cool Lacus x Kira movie, but I came here for space whales and Shinn. They still have the audacity to pretend like Athrun's or even Kira's love drama is remotely interesting, though Seed always did have a habit of having the least organic romance ever.

Frankly the best decision they've made thus far is pretending that Lacus has enough agency as a character to be anything other than Kira's love interest. I mean come on just look at the opening of the original show, how is anyone supposed to take any kind of Flay and Kira relationship seriously when Kira and Lacus are hugging eachother naked in the opening, even though the pink haired girl hasn't even appeared yet! And what's with Lacus's spacesuit, like c'mon.

Them giving every female character permanent lipstick lips was enough of a sing about how serious, this movie is about itself. I mean c'mon the lips were just fine in the original show, and for that matter the other shows by Hisashi Hirai after Gundam Seed, so I don't see any reason for them to be in this show.

Like can I just talk about the mechanic bird, didn't the mechanic bird symbolize Kira's and Athrun's friendship in the original show, and him always having his back? Why in the expletive does he make another stupid BIRDDDD! Like I won't even bother pretending like anyone cares about Birdy at this point, but why the stupid blue bird, if that blue one isn't like a Kira love bird or something. I should've thought of this one when the first trailer came out, my post would've seemed like a theory, instead of just shipping.

"Oh Hey Kira, I just made this blue bird to warn you about these evil clone guys, because this is just how I communicate with my friends now. I'm also super mysterious now, so mysterious that I just ominously warn people by giving them friendship birds". I suppose this is just one of those mysterious funny plot points, like how Rau and Flay's dad had the same voice Flay even acknowledged it, but they never talked about it again. Actually they should make more, if only to finally resolve that plot point, just magically bring back the characters I liked, like Badgierule and Flay.

@Seiya0890 it will take many many years before we seed get the unicorn treatment. Sunrise did not expect this movie to pull a top gun maverick and beat demon slayer, spy x, and haikyuu relatively. Recency bias is huge in japan. That is why you see Lycoris and Bocchi have more followers than Bleach.

@kihel reason there isn't a sequel announced is because sunrise had no idea the movie could compete with demon slayer, spy x, and haikyuu and relatively beat them. Seed Freedom pulled a top gun maverick. Even eva probably couldn't have done this. So they have nothing planned and it would take years for it to come into fruition

@Kumiveneella seed freedom pulled a top gun maverick for anime. Even Eva wouldn't have been able to do that.

@DEMSpirit

You are right about the film's box office, and I don't think the production team expected it to sell as well as it did. I think the reason why a sequel has not been announced is because the movie "Flash Hathaway" is still in production and the production of that movie has priority.

I also think that one of the reasons why a sequel has not been announced is that this movie was not made with the intention of producing a sequel from the beginning.

As for Eva, I don't think we can make much of a comparison since the number of theaters gradually increased as the first and second films progressed, and the way the final film was released on the first day, the way special offers were given, etc., were different from those of this film.

You mentioned that you have no plans to do anything, but the parts of the story that were cut from the movie and the novel that was distributed as a bonus have not been made into an anime, and the director has talked about the future of the characters in stage greetings and interviews, so maybe there will be a prequel or sequel.

Well, since you haven't seen the movie yet in the first place, please watch it and enjoy it first!

@kihel recency bias has a huge effect in japan as well. The last film that people expect to do well is a sequel to a show from 20 years ago with no additions. We can exclude the remasters. If they made a sequel to cowboy Bebop, I doubt it can pull off the same effect.

But it does show nostalgia can be strong in japan. And you can pull the Spiderman no way home effect.

after 2 decaded. 20 years. well that's really long. why decide to end now.
also 100 episodes. stop joking I can't remember what is going on and what are the story. don't have time to go 8 movies recap either. back in 2016 when watch for the first time all I care about is gundam model and feature and special power, battle and romance between 2 MC. don't even care about why there is a war going on or what happened in that Gundam Seed universe.

Having now seen the movie I think it definitely leaves room for a sequel. I mean it was basically a retread of Seed Destiny already and ends rather simply, so there is certainly nothing stopping a continuation especially given how successful it has been.

Fukuda, the director, already stated in a recent interview that he's working on several different projects, and one hints at a Seed prequel.

Yeah this movie doesn't really conclusively put a bow on anything, tensions between the plants and earth are still sky high, this less felt like a send off and more just a re-affirming the characters motivations and relationships.
