note: The gundam series are disconnected, there is no need to watch
previous gundams in order to follow the story. Enjoy
Directed by Mitsuo Fukuda (
Future GPX Cyber
Formula and
Gear Fighter Dendoh) with music by Toshihiko
Sahashi, the series is the first set in the Cosmic Era. This series
begins with the Bloody Valentine War between Earth and the colonies
that is similar to the One Year War of the original
Gundam
series with certain traditional elements from
Mobile Suit Gundam
Wing and
After War Gundam X such as the presence of five
multicolored Gundam mobile suits and the threat of an apocalypse. On
one side is the Earth Alliance, and on the opposite is the space
colonies that form ZAFT
(Zodiac Alliance of Freedom Treaty). Mankind is divided over human
genetic engineering, with normal humans known as "Naturals" and the
genetically altered humans known as "Coordinators".
Like the original series, ZAFT has a head start on mobile suit design,
the Earth Alliance quickly catches up with its five prototype Gundams.
With ZAFT having stolen four of the prototypes, young Coordinator Kira
Yamato pilots the GAT-X105 Strike Gundam and is forced to fight his old
friend Athrun Zala. Little do they know that there are sinister forces
at work that go far beyond their worst nightmares.
