After War Gundam X 30th Anniversary Project Announced by Bandai

A massive celebration has officially kicked off to honor three decades of the classic mecha anime series After War Gundam X.

The “After War Gundam X 30th Anniversary Project” was announced 30 years to the day that the original television anime premiered in Japan on April 5, 1996.

The series offered a unique post-apocalyptic take on the legendary giant robot franchise, following the adventures of a young junk dealer named Garrod Ran and a mysterious girl named Tiffa Adill as they navigated a devastated Earth.

To mark the special milestone today, April 5, 2026, Bandai Namco unveiled a stunning piece of artwork celebrating the two main characters.

The new illustration features the protagonist and heroine standing together on a water surface that beautifully reflects the moonlight.

A massive moon and the imposing face of the titular mobile suit loom in the background, perfectly capturing the atmospheric tone of the series.

Alongside the striking visual, the company announced a regular streaming program titled “What Happens After the After War?” for the official Gundam YouTube channel.

This special retrospective series will be hosted by Wataru Takagi and Mika Kanai, the original voice actors for Garrod and Tiffa.

The hosts will share behind-the-scenes stories, reflect on the production of the anime, and deliver new announcements.

Fans looking for even more content can watch an extended version of the show featuring unreleased footage through the Bandai Channel streaming service.

The production team is currently accepting messages from viewers to read during three specific sections of the upcoming broadcast.

The first segment focuses on nostalgia, asking fans to share their fondest memories of the show or photos of their favorite plastic model kits.

Another section will feature Mika Kanai as Tiffa offering comforting words of encouragement to listeners who submit stories about feeling tired or sad.

The final segment invites audiences to submit their absolute favorite quotes from the series while providing a brief reason for their selection.

The special streaming program is scheduled to begin broadcasting in late April 2026 via the Bandai Channel network.

Fans can submit their stories and messages for the show by using a dedicated online form.

Submissions can also be made publicly on social media platforms by including the designated radio hashtag in their posts.

A dedicated commemorative website has also been launched to share upcoming projects and the latest news regarding the anniversary.

This online hub is highly accessible to international audiences, offering support for ten different languages including English, French, Spanish, and Korean.

Bandai has also announced the release of three commemorative 30th anniversary soundtrack collections, with After War Gundam X joining Gundam Wing and G Gundam which also recently celebrated the same milestone.
