A young boy is caught up in an interplanetary war between Earth and it's breakway colonies, Zeon. The father of all Real Robot shows.

Main Description

Universal Century 0079: The Principality of Zeon has declared its split from the Earth Federation, and subsequently launched a massive war of independence, a war which has raged in every continent on earth and in nearly every space colony and lunar settlement. The Zeon have the upper hand through their use of a revolutionary new type of weapon, their humanoid mobile suits. When a Zeon recon team disobey mission orders and begin attacking Side 7 its citizens stumble across the Federation's latest weapon: the Gundam. With the aid of Earth Federation soldiers stationed aboard the MS carrier White Base the newly formed crew of refugees set out to change the course of the One Year War — or die trying.

Personal Opinions

This owns - Zorak

It just does. Absolute classic. I recommend watching the three movies instead of the TV series (unless you really like Gundam) due to pacing issues.
