After War Gundam X

Mobile Suit Gundam (機動新世紀ガンダムＸ Kidō Shin Seiki Gandamu Ekkusu) is the eighth anime series in the Gundam franchise and the only one to take place in the After War timeline.

Plot Summary
Set in A.W. 15, 15 years after the end of the 7th Space War which led to the catastrophic destruction of much of the world, the surviving residents of Earth try to make a living as best they can in the post-apocalyptic landscape. Mobile Suits and weapons left over from the war fall into the hands of civilians as well as other organizations on the planet. In an effort to keep the past from repeating itself, Jamil Neate brings together a crew of Vultures to search for Newtypes and protect them from being exploited. As they try to carry out this task, an old government rises from the ashes to try and unify the Earth as other forces slowly fan the flames of war once more between the newly formed New United Nations Earth and the Space Revolutionary Army. Now the crew of the Freeden face a multitude of enemies as they try to prevent another catastrophic war.

Production
The series was produced and animated by Sunrise, directed by Shinji Takamatsu who had previously co-directed Mobile Suit Gundam Wing with Masashi Ikeda. Among returning staff from Gundam Wing, Hideyuki Tomioka returned as the producer and Kunio Okawara returned as a mechanical designer.

After War Gundam X was plagued with problems in its initial run, resulting in the number of episodes having to be cut short, similar to the original Mobile Suit Gundam.
