Comment:
Season 1 of the series aired in the U.S. four months ahead of the Japanese release. This was the first Gundam series to ever air in North America before Japan. However, North American markets did not receive the Season 2 episodes.
Meanwhile, in Japan, SD Gundam Force scored a 2.1% viewership - the lowest viewer rating of all Gundam titles, despite running for 52 episodes.
