After War Gundam X

[Demon_Skeith]

Another anime watched and another gundam show seen. This time was Gundam X which is japanese only at this time, which is a shame since it's pretty good. This gundam version shows what happens if the space colonies successfully drops a space colony onto earth. After that they show people surviving and the focus on newtypes for this anime.


Description:

The premise is the setting of Gundam X, which uses the After War (AW) calendar. The basis point of the After War timeline is the end of an apocalyptic war that resulted in the drop of virtually all space colonies onto Earth, devastating the planet and destroying 99% of humanity. The series begins in AW 0015, as the Earth is just beginning to recover. The star of this series is fifteen year-old Garrod Ran, a member of Vulture, a scavenger group that patrols the wasteland for profits, which is on a mission to find and save mistreated Newtypes in the world from those who wish to take advantage of them. The first episode's main storyline started off with Garrod doing a 'hold-up' to a reckless bandit who possessed a Mobile Suit. He was discovered by an old man (who may have had an influence) and assigned him to rescue a girl named Tiffa Adill from Vulture. As he rescues Tiffa, he discovers that she is a target of an unknown party and finds out that she is a Newtype. Then as the story goes on, they find the "15 year-old nightmare", the Gundam X. Gundam X also used the space war concept featured in previous Gundam series as a backdrop, with the New United Nations Earth and the Space Revolutionary Army as the opposing factions.

The only bad about this anime was the ending was too short and quickly sum up in one episode that could have been two, also the main bad guys in the anime were quickly dealt with no follow up. Very poor story ending with great build up. I recommend watching this if you've seen other gundam shows.
