Premiering in 1994, Mobile Fighter G Gundam was the first alternate universe
series, and perhaps one of the most controversial. Directed by Giant Robo's
Yasuhiro Imagawa, this series takes a vastly different approach to the Gundam
saga. Instead of having wars between the colonies and the Earth, a fighting
tournament is held to determine the ruler of the colonies. Called the Gundam
Fight, it is held once every four years by the United Colonies Federation. Each
country has its own representative Gundam (some of which are really ridiculous
looking), and the Gundams fight on Earth until only one is left. Set in Future
Century (FC) 60, this series chronicles the 13th Gundam Fight and stars Neo
Japanese Gundam Fighter Domon Kasshu, who is in the fight as much to win as
to fulfill a personal quest.
