Mobile Suit Gundam SEED FREEDOM 2 was dope! Despite knowing literally nothing about Gundam I enjoyed it a lot! The action scenes were great, the soundtrack was awesome, the translation seemed really good or at least free from BS. There wasn't ever a time where I noticed the characters saying something that wasn't in the subs (with my limited Japanese knowledge). There was an adequate amount of fan service, used for comedic effect too.

The storyline was good! Draws some good parallels to the real world with the "security versus liberty" argument, as well as the kinds of people who usually pick each side. There's a love story in there as well and I saw some reviews saying it was cheesy, but it's honestly not any different from the regular anime love tropes. Something about characters that will fight for each other no matter what always pulls at the heartstrings, even when the dialogue is like "OUR HEARTS WILL ALWAYS BE COLLECTED!" It's something you don't really see in western media and I live for it.

You can't go watch it now probably, since it was a limited time thing. Once it comes to streaming platforms or wherever else though I'd definitely recommend watching it. Loved it! Not too much else it could have done better, besides maybe not using so much 3D but even then I got used to that pretty quickly.
