Zeta Gundam (aired
1985 -
1986) was a
televised
anime, one of
Gundam series and a
sequel to the original
Mobile Suit Gundam. It takes place in UC 0086, six years after the end
of the
One-Year War. After the events of
Gundam 0083, the Federation military established an elite division
called the Titans to hunt down the remaining pockets of
Zeon resistance, but the Titans used brutal methods to reach their
goals. Two resistance groups, the AEUG (Anti-Earth Union Group) and their
earthbound counterparts, the Karraba, were formed. The series begins when
a thinly-disguised
Char Aznable, now a member of AEUG under the alias "Quattro Bagina",
raids a Titan military base in the occupied colony Green Noah in Side 7 to
acquire intelligence on the Federation's new
Mobile Suit prototype, the black Gundam Mark-II. Camille Vidan, a
lunatic Newtype dissident, is caught up in the raid and helps AEUG steal
the Mark-II.
The show was written and directed by
Tomino Yoshiyuki, with character designs by
Yasuhiko Yoshikazu, while the series' mechanical designs were split
amongst
Okawara Kunio,
Nagano Mamoru, and
Fujita Kazumi.
