Mobile Suit Gundam is a long-running mecha anime franchise that began in 1979, completely revolutionizing the genre with its realistic representation of war and complex political narratives.

After War Gundam X is a highly unique entry in the expansive television franchise that originally aired in 1996.

The narrative takes place on a devastated Earth following a catastrophic space war where massive space colonies were dropped onto the planet.

The story follows a young scavenger named Garrod Ran who discovers the powerful Gundam X and joins a group of Vulture mercenaries to protect a mysterious Newtype girl.

The series is celebrated for its fresh take on traditional Gundam themes, exploring survival, hope, and the consequences of absolute power in a wasteland setting.

Gunpla, or Gundam plastic models, have been a staple of the hobby community for decades.
