Gundam Seed Freedom Takes Over New York This October
New York fans of the iconic mecha franchise are in for a busy week as Bandai Namco Filmworks brings a wave of Gundam-themed events to the city. From exclusive screenings at the Museum of the Moving Image to a star-studded showcase at New York Comic Con, the franchise is set for a massive local presence.
The Museum of the Moving Image in Queens will host a two-day special screening of Mobile Suit Gundam Seed Freedom on October 11 and 12. The opening night features a talk show with Kaori Shida, the Planning Producer behind the upcoming Mobile Suit Gundam Seed Freedom Zero. Attendees on the 11th will also receive exclusive series posters, with tickets ranging from $10 to $17.50.
Simultaneously, the franchise anchors its presence at New York Comic Con, which runs from October 8 to 11 at the Javits Center. The "Gundam Showcase 2026" panel on October 8 will feature English voice actors Matt Hill, Sam Vincent, and Matthew Erickson, alongside production staff. This session serves as a global launchpad for news regarding the new Seed Freedom Zero project, with a parallel digital stream available on the Gundam Channel International for international viewers.
The programming extends beyond panels, with autograph sessions and dedicated retail experiences at the Bandai Namco Toys & Collectibles and Tamashii Nations booths. Fans can participate in meet-and-greet photo opportunities and explore specialized exhibits, including a dedicated Tamashii Nations panel on October 9. Those unable to attend the Javits Center events can follow the official Gundam social channels for real-time updates and supplemental content.
