Description:

Eleven-year-old Al Izuruha finds himself caught up in the escalating power struggle between the Earth Federal Forces and the space-based Duchy of Zeon. Mecha pilot Bernie Wiseman involves him in a Zeon plot to capture or destroy an experimental Gundam suit stored in his home colony. Al is torn between his new friendship with Bernie and his long-standing friendship with Federal Gundam pilot Christina MacKenzie. There's plenty of action and mecha battles in War in the Pocket, but the six-part OAV stresses the suffering war produces, rather than its glories. The final image has a power the more heroic Gundam adventures lack. Although it was released in 1989, War in the Pocket, follows The 08th MS Team (1996) in the main Gundam continuity. Suggested 13 Up: Considerable violence, alcohol and tobacco use. --Charles Solomon
