In 1990, Bandai produced the 4 episode OVA series SD Gundam Gaiden. Directed by Tetsuro Amino (Macross 7, SD Gundam's Counterattack), this series is set in the medieval fantasy world Suda Doaka. Once again, popular Gundam characters such as Amuro Ray and Char Aznable are featured in the series, along with fantasy-styled versions of well-known mobile suits.
In this series, the heroic Knight Gundam and his companions must protect Suda Doaka from the evils of Satan Gundam and Sieg Zeon. Much of the series is set in the Kingdom of Lacroa, which is featured in several SD productions, including the 2003 TV series SD Gundam Force. As is the case with all the older SD productions, SD Gundam Gaiden isn't available in the U.S.

Where it came from
SD Gundam Gaiden emerged in 1990 as a creative expansion of the Gundam franchise, reimagining iconic mobile suits as characters in a high-fantasy, role-playing game setting. Produced by Bandai, this spin-off departed from the gritty, realistic science fiction of the main series to embrace a lighthearted, super-deformed aesthetic that resonated deeply with the youth market of the late eighties and early nineties.
The conceptual shift was driven by the immense popularity of the Carddass trading card series, which laid the foundation for the lore and character designs of the OVA. By blending knightly tropes and medieval imagery with mechanical design, the creators sought to capture the imagination of players familiar with contemporary tabletop and digital RPGs, resulting in a distinct visual identity that eventually evolved into a long-standing sub-series within the larger Gundam mythos.
