Storyline
The story takes place on the European front during the One-Year War, which was made well-known by the original 1979 MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM. When the Principality of Zeon secedes from the Earth Federation, a revolutionary war breaks out. By that point, the humanoid Gundam RX-78 is merely a prototype. Since the season will be told from Zeon’s point of view, Gundam will become even more potent and rebellious.
The science fiction anime is set in a war-torn, post-apocalyptic world and features enormous, terrifying mechas. Netflix will be the only global streaming service for the 30-minute, six-episode Gundam: Requiem for Vengeance.
