The highly anticipated anime series brings the iconic One Year War back to life. Gundam: Requiem for Vengeance, the latest addition to the Gundam franchise, is set to arrive on Netflix on October 17th. Directed by Erasmus Brosdau and written by Gavin Hignight, this six-episode series will offer fans a fresh perspective on the legendary conflict known as the One Year War. Told through the eyes of soldiers from the Principality of Zeon, the story dives into the battles fought by the pilots of the Zaku Mobile Suits.
Each episode of the series will have a runtime of approximately 30 minutes, taking place in the “Universal Century,” a timeline that recalls the setting of the original Gundam series and its various sequels.
A Closer Look at the Plot
Set in the year 0079 of the Universal Century, Gundam: Requiem for Vengeance begins with the Principality of Zeon declaring its independence from the Earth Federation, sparking an intense and brutal war. The Mobile Suit pilots become key players in the conflict as both sides battle for control.
A year into the war, the Earth Federation retakes control of a strategic base in Eastern Europe that was previously under Zeon’s rule. Here, the story introduces Iria Sorari, a member of the elite Proton Red Wolf Mobile Suit team, who has just arrived from space. Alongside other Federation forces, Iria must confront the fierce Zeon troops and face off against advanced new Mobile Suit prototypes in a mission that could change the course of the war.
With the fate of humanity at stake, the series promises intense battles and high-stakes action as both factions struggle for survival.
