Gundam Reconguista in G
The Universal Century, an era of historic migration into space and space wars has ended, and some time has ed.
It's now Regild Century Year 1014 (R.C. 1014) where the creation of humanoid mobile suits of war is now taboo. Earth is now connected to space via the sacred orbital elevator, Capital Tower, which humanity uses to bring energy in the form of Photon Batteries to the surface.
Bellri Zenam is a cadet in the Capital Guard, the protectors of the tower. During a training exercise pirates attack the tower and Bellri crosses paths with the G-Self, a mobile suit with unknown technology. Bellri is successful in capturing the suit and it's pilot, Aiida Reihanton, and soon discovers the G-Self, which should only be operable under certain conditions, will now move under his own hand. Now Bellri must pilot the G-Self to uncover the mysteries behind the space pirates, the G-Self and his own destiny. These truths will shake the entire Regild Century to it's core and this is just the beginning of Reconguista.
A brand new series created for the 35th anniversary of Sunrise.
The team also has Daisuke Hasegawa performing the song.
The first three episodes of Gundam Reconguista in G were compiled in a special early edition for screenings in 13 theaters in Japan from August 23 to September 5. This edition was streamed from the Gundam series to initially broadcast in a late night timeslot.
