This story is set thousands of years in the future. The people of Earth have forgotten the space wars of the past, reverting back to a pre-industrial existence. But the lunar settlers known as the Moonrace, who have retained their high technology, now plan to seize their mother planet for themselves. As the war of the worlds begins, a young Moonrace citizen named Loran Cehack, pilot of the legendary Turn A Gundam, struggles to bridge the gap between humanity's long-separated branches.

Where it came from
Turn A Gundam was released in 1999 as a commemorative project to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Gundam franchise. Directed by Yoshiyuki Tomino, the series marked a departure from the established aesthetics of the universe by introducing a unique, pastoral tone and a complex, interconnected timeline. Tomino sought to weave together the disparate histories of all preceding Gundam iterations into a single, cohesive narrative structure, exploring themes of historical cycles and the remnants of lost civilizations.
The character and mechanical designs are notable for their unconventional approach, particularly the titular mobile suit designed by American industrial designer Syd Mead. Tasked with creating a machine that broke away from the traditional, rigid mecha aesthetic, Mead utilized fluid, organic lines and a minimalist color palette, most distinctively the mustache-like faceplate. While the design initially polarized fans accustomed to the more aggressive silhouettes of the series' past, it has since earned widespread critical recognition for its avant-garde influence and artistic significance.
