Mobile Suit Gundam SEED
Overview
In the Cosmic Era 71, humanity has split into two distinct groups: Naturals living on Earth, and Coordinators—genetically altered humans built to endure the harshness of space—who dwell in orbital settlements called PLANTs. The narrative follows Kira Yamato, a young Coordinator, whose life is upended when ZAFT, the PLANTs' armed forces, launches an assault on a neutral colony covertly constructing mobile suits for the Earth Alliance. This attack thrusts Kira into the escalating conflict between the two peoples.
