Will you be able to survive?
Created by Yoshiyuki Tomino
On Nagoya TV
A foundational mecha war drama that follows a teenage pilot and a refugee crew through a brutal conflict, balancing intense action with character development and the psychological cost of forced militarization.
What would you do if you suddenly found yourself in the middle of a war? Teenager Amuro Ray sees his life shattered when war comes to his home. During the chaos, Amuro finds himself inside the mobile suit Gundam, the Earth Federation's new secret weapon, and he somehow gets it to work. Amuro and the other refugees flee their homeland on the warship White Base. This group of children and inexperienced soldiers will change the outcome of the war.
