Mobile Suit Gundam SEED is the latest series and is Bandai's attempt to re-launch the franchise for the 21st century. This is a 52 episode series about a war between Earth and the colonies. On one side is the Earth Alliance, and on the opposite is the space colonies that form ZAFT (Zodiac Alliance of Freedom Treaty). Mankind has developed a new formula to modify human DNA to form superior beings called "Coordinators." While normal humans are called "Naturals." In this serie, ZAFT has a head start on mobile suit design, but the Earth Alliance quickly catches up with its five prototype Gundams. With ZAFT having stolen four of the Gundams, young pilot Kira Yamato takes the Strike Gundam and is forced to fight his old friend Asuran Zara. The series began broadcasting in Japan in October 2002, and it is currently not available in the U.S.
