Genre: Sci-fi

Creator: Yoshiyuki Tomino

Company: Bandai/Sunrise

DVD Info: 50 episodes, 1+ DVD

Summary: In Cosmic Era 70, Earth is at war with the ZAFT (Zodiac Alliance Freedom Treaty). A boy named Kira Yamato and four other children who live in Heliopolis, a neutral zone, are drafted into the war when several Gundams are stolen by ZAFT.

The Good: Great writing and animation. Kira's a great hero. It's independent of the main Gundam saga, so you can easily jump on.

The Bad: Not much.

Offensive Material: Mild violence

Overall: This is a great series. If you haven't seen a Gundam anime yet, this is a good time to watch one.

My Review: 4.0 Category: B (Borderline. Parental Guidance Suggested)

Note: This is an independent cartoon in the Gundam franchise.
