When one space colony declared its independence from the Earth Federation, the devastating 7th Space War, an all-out war between Earth and space, resulted. The Federation responded to the Space Revolutionary Army with mobile suits, called Gundams. However, the Space Revolutionary forces played their trump card and dropped hundreds of space colonies onto the Earth, plunging the planet into a seven-year-long nuclear winter. The Federation collapsed, but the Space Revolutionary Army was unable to invade the Earth in the aftermath of the colony drop. Fifteen years have passed. The year is now After War 0015, and a New Federation has sprung up on Earth to restore order. In space, the colonial leaders have been rebuilding their own forces as well. By chance, fifteen-year-old Garrod Ran has discovered an old Federation mobile suit, the Gundam X, and now he uses it to help out the Vulture ship Freeden in its struggle to keep the powers that be from repeating the mistakes of the past.

Where it came from
After War Gundam X was produced by Sunrise and aired in 1996, serving as a departure from the high-fantasy tones of its immediate predecessor, Mobile Fighter G Gundam. Conceived in the mid-nineties, the series was designed to explore a post-apocalyptic world following a catastrophic lunar colony drop, focusing on themes of survival, recovery, and the search for hope in a ruined landscape. It arrived during a transitional period for the franchise, attempting to ground the narrative in a more somber and realistic human context.
The series was directed by Shinji Takamatsu, who sought to differentiate the show by emphasizing the scarcity of resources and the psychological weight of the 'After War' setting. Character designs were helmed by Nobuyoshi Nishimura, whose aesthetic helped define the series' gritty visual identity. Although the show was cut short during its original broadcast due to scheduling changes, it has since gained a dedicated following that values its mature storytelling, unique mechanical designs, and its nuanced take on the Newtype concept.
