Taking place in UC 0083, this iteration of the GUNDAM series, a 13 part OAV, is one of the best; it retains the characteristics of its predecessors while giving the series a more modern look and a larger scope. In these episodes, Federation pilot Kou Uraki is hot on the trail of the stolen Gundam, piloted by Zeon's ace, Anavel Gato. Unfortunately, Kou's pursuit ends in defeat, a defeat that brings him into contact with a former Zeon soldier who becomes his mentor.
