The JAPAN score even reached 4.5/5 points. However, some netizens felt that SEED Freedom was not good-looking and “forgot its origins”. They strongly criticized the new work as “having no SEED flavor”. It only pretends to be stylish and does not have a military feel. The statement made some SEED fans feel strange. Most of the Japanese netizens who had already attended the movie felt that the movie had perfectly served all loyal SEED fans, and the “Breaking Seed” series was all regarding dressing up and looking cool, so they felt that the new movie was criticized as ” People who don’t have SEED flavor are not fans at all.
Is SEED lower quality than Mercury Witch?
In addition, some people think that there are too many old people in the Gundam discussion forum who “think regarding the past” and like to talk regarding “the old formations”. As long as any new work is not their cup of tea, they will start to criticize it. So whether the new Gundam really “destroys Gundam as a character” Shop sign”? Netizens pointed out that people may not be able to accept new things when they get older (Seed was 15 years old at the time and is now 35 years old this year). On the largest Gundam discussion group in Hong Kong, “Gundam Fans Gathering”, some netizens complained regarding Lark in “SEED Freedom” Silk wears an EVA-style tight-fitting driving suit and high-heeled shoes to drive a mobile suit into battle:“The style of the series is completely lost, and there is no SEED flavor anymore!”He even said that SEED is worse than Mercury, feeling:“Uh, what’s the taste of this era? Is it actually Fukuda’s own shit bridge?”But what actually is “SEED flavor”? Some netizens laughed when they left a message:“SEED has always copied things from left to right. If you want to see something, you have to take it seriously.”
Kira Aslan was a celebrity in the BL world 20 years ago?
When promoting “SEED F”, BANDAI Namco FilmWorks executive producer Naohiro Ogata praised “SEED” as a successful masterpiece 20 years ago. The most successful Gundam in 20 years!
Should SEED’s new work be nostalgic? Or do you want to add something new to fit in with today’s animation world? Naohiro Ogata, executive producer of BANDAI Namco FilmWorks, believes that the audience for animation has changed greatly in the past five years, and BANDAI and Gundam must also make changes accordingly.In fact, “SEED” was born 20 years ago with the goal of destroying the old and establishing the new. The so-called SEED flavor was originally meant to serve fans and did not set any boundaries for itself.: “At that time, we produced “SEED” with the goal of being the original Gundam of the 21st century, and successfully attracted new Gundam fans, including women. After “Mercury” was broadcast in 2022, we felt that the market had “SEED” for 20 years. With the same positive response as before the launch, the entire industry is moving in the right direction.”Many people hate the same-sex marriage between the two heroines of “Mercury Witch”, but many people don’t know that the couple Kira Aslan was also a celebrity in the BL industry 20 years ago. The reporter himself knows a female animation fan, saying that Kira Aslan is her original intention and bond to watch BL.
The reporter knows a female animation fan herself, and said that Kira Aslan CP was her original intention and affinity for watching BL. SEED Freedom has everything from stylish men and beautiful women to love triangle elements. I believe that teenage female fans will not want to watch “D’An Island” and watch Po raising cotton sheep.
“Mercury” changed the ratio of male and female Gundam fans
“Mercury’s Witch”, which was broadcast for two consecutive years from 2022 to 23, did not receive particularly favorable ratings, but it successfully caused topics on social media with plots such as same-sex marriage proposals and clapping tomatoes. YOASOBI’s “Blessing” is also a global hit A big hit. It’s just that a group of old-school fans criticized “Mercury” for not having a military style. The tragic, epic, cruelty on the battlefield and other elements should not be called Gundam at all. But BANDAI’s senior management had the opposite idea. They believed that in order to continue the old Gundam brand, they must continue to attract new fans. When they created “Mercury”, they aimed to stir up topics and attract new young fans: “The story is not interesting, and all the effort in making it look good is in vain. Investing in the production of a new full-length “Gundam” animation for television broadcast. Of course, the ratings are an indicator of performance, but the benefits that “Mercury” brings to the Gundam series go beyond that. The ratio of male to female fans of the Gundam series has always been 9:1, but “Mercury” has created a new ratio of 7:3, and more than half of the new fans are young people. “
Some people think that Gundam should not add new elements to please young audiences, which is sad and pitiful! Some people think that women should not watch Gundam. If the new Gundam is targeted at women, it would be like betraying old male comrades who have supported it for many years.
Naohiro Ogata directly pointed out that “Mercury’s Witch” was the most successful Gundam work 20 years ago when “SEED” aired.“‘Mercury’ is an important work that was created at the right time, in the right place and with the right people. During the public activities of ‘Mercury’, we even found that some children asked their parents to take them to see Gundam, and there were even couples who showed up hand in hand. . This is a reaction that the Gundam series has not had for a long time.”
“Mercury’s Witch” attracted many new female fans and young fans, injecting new motivation and consumption power. The HG 1/144 Wind Spirit Gundam model has set a new record in global shipments of Gundam protagonist models.
What new fans need is guidance, not scolding each other.
In fact, different styles of Gundam works will still produce new works evenly. The entire series must have enough new fans to be sustainable. Today they only want to watch Nannan, but they can slowly guide new fans to watch military-style Gundam. Because In this way, BANDAI will broadcast several old Gundam works during the gap between seasons 1 and 2 of “Mercury”: “Flashing Caesar Guard”, “Gundam NT”, and “Thunderbolt” to attract new fans to get in touch with other Gundam works. .
“Shining Caesar Guard” has a good reputation, but if it might make a lot of money, Bandai would have started filming the second episode.
