Description:

This three-part OAV adventure picks up one year after the conclusion of the Gundam Wing series. Earth and the Space Colonies have joined to form the Earth Sphere Unified Nation; after a brief reign as Queen of Earth, Relena Peacecraft/Darlian has abdicated and is serving as a government minister. The giant Gundams (the large, robotic armor suits) have been hidden or sent hurtling into the sun. This fragile peace is shattered when the sinister Dekim Barton initiates a revolt to make Mariemeia, the daughter of former Oz chief Treize Khushrenada, absolute ruler of the new world-state. She describes the change as part of History's Endless Waltz of "peace, war, and revolution." If Earth refuses to accept the new regime, Barton will crash one of the orbiting colonies into the planet's surface. Only the Gundam pilots can resolve this crisis--with a little help from their friends and former enemies; writer Katsuyuki Sumisawa uses the lulls in the action to explore their early lives in flashbacks. This special-edition DVD includes both the three-part OAV series and the compilation feature, which contains about eight minutes of additional animation. The extras include a "Mobile Suit Encyclopedia" with information about the five Gundams and the Tallgeese. The OVA episodes are: 1. "Silent Orbit," 2. "Operation Meteor," 3. "Return to Eternity." Rated 13 Up for violence, largely restricted to machines attacking each other. The regular edition is suitable for television play. --Charles Solomon
