The Gundam franchise has been a cornerstone of mecha anime since its debut in 1979. Set in the Universal Century, the series has explored various aspects of war, politics, and humanity through its numerous series, movies, and spin-offs. While Mobile Suit Gundam: Requiem for Vengeance aims to restore the franchise's essence with wartime stories, it also innovates with CG animation, a method last used in the 2004 series MS IGLOO. This release joins other Gundam content on Netflix, including the original movie trilogy and Gundam Hathaway, further expanding its reach to global audiences.
