Gundam

Joins the Funimation Family

Gundam opened the gateway for mecha sci-fi anime to flourish in the industry. There has hardly ever been a year since the 1970s when we didn’t get any content from the franchise.

Funimation partnered with Sunrise and announced four more Mobile Suit Gundam titles would be added to its catalog starting September 7, 2021.

These titles belong to different eras of the Gundam franchise, which has been and continues to be a significant part of many childhoods.

Recently one of the creators of Gundam, Yoshikazu Yasuhiko, revealed that he is working on another anime film, most likely another mecha.

I do agree that sometimes the plotlines are dragged and end up becoming lame. Gundam strikes a nostalgic nerve in us, and ruining that brings a lot of negative reviews.

But the franchise always makes up for it by giving us something even better than before. That’s what I love about it.
