A Post-War Story in an Alternate Timeline
After War Gundam X originally aired in Japan from April 5, 1996, to December 28, 1996. The series, the seventh installment in the legendary Gundam franchise, stands out as a unique entry, set in the After War (A.W.) timeline rather than the Universal Century or other timelines fans are familiar with. Directed by Shinji Takamatsu (Mobile Suit SD Gundam, School Rumble), with a screenplay by Hiroyuki Kawasaki, this 39-episode series takes viewers into a post-apocalyptic world shaped by the devastating consequences of war.
The narrative begins 15 years after the 7th Space War, a conflict so destructive that much of Earth's surface has been ravaged. In this grim aftermath, society struggles to rebuild, while remnants of mobile suits and war technologies fall into the hands of opportunistic factions and civilians. Against this backdrop, the story follows Jamil Neate, a former Newtype pilot who now leads a group of scavengers known as Vultures aboard the spaceship Freeden. Their mission? To protect Newtypes—individuals with exceptional mental abilities—from exploitation and ensure history does not repeat itself.
A World on the Brink of War
As Jamil and his crew work to uncover the secrets of the past and protect Newtypes, the fragile peace on Earth begins to crumble. The rise of the New United Nations Earth (NUNE) and the remnants of the Space Revolutionary Army reignite tensions, creating a volatile environment where old grudges and new ambitions threaten to plunge humanity into another catastrophic war.
Through its richly developed characters and compelling narrative, After War Gundam X explores themes of resilience, the cost of war, and the enduring hope for a better future. Its alternate timeline and unique storytelling make it a must-watch for fans of Gundam who crave a fresh perspective on the iconic franchise.
