Synopsis:

Years after a devastating conflict between Coordinators and Naturals, a fragile peace settles over the world. This series follows a group of individuals grappling with the aftermath of war. The narrative centers on veterans seeking healing – some finding solace in familial bonds, others retreating into solitude to confront their personal burdens and the weight of past sacrifices. The story explores themes of trauma, memory, and the difficulty of rebuilding after widespread destruction. It offers a contemplative look at the lives of those who shaped history, as they navigate a uncertain future and contemplate new paths forward while processing the profound losses endured during the war’s conclusion. The atmosphere is characterized by quiet reflection and understated emotional depth.

    This is a nice conclusion to the show that gives a snapshot of the post-war lives of most main and side characters. This special is just a 5 minute video after the end of Gundam Seed but before Destiny. I think it is a better conclusion to the show better than the somewhat abrupt ending from the 50th episode of Gundam Seed. You should definitely watch this if you watched gundam seed. I honestly feel this should have just aired after the credits on the last episode itself. It shows a snippet of the after-war life for most of the main and sidecharacters. It finally ends with Kira, Athrun, Cagalli, and Lacus reflecting and contemplating what it is they are now supposed to do in life. There is not much content added, but it is certainly more satisfying than the ending of the 50th episode of seed.
