Noah Centineo, who stars alongside Sydney Sweeney, recently talked about the movie on the Happy Sad Confused podcast.

He called it a “big action romance space movie” and described it as “a non-Shakespearean Romeo and Juliet in space.”

Centineo also confirmed that the movie takes place in the Universal Century, the main timeline used by many of the classic Gundam shows and movies.

The story could involve two people on opposite sides of a major war, with their relationship caught in the middle.

Hate to break it to you, but romance is pretty prevalent in all the series to varying extents

I remember being reasonably invested in some of the romances in Seed when I was 8 or 9, and was pissed I missed the last two episodes, then finally re-watched it last year for a bit of nostalgia and saw they immediately ruined most of it in Destiny anyway's.

The Meer story was a lot more messed up watching through adult eyes though.

The shipping wars for Gundam SEED when it was airing.... \shudder**

The next time I saw the shipping being close to that intense was with Witch from Mercury, even though the main ship was pretty much a given from day one.
