Roughly 300 years after the conclusion of a great conflict known as the Calamity War, the Earth Sphere has lost its previous governing structure, and a new system of government has created a new world. Far away, seeds of a new conflict are starting to form in the Mars Sphere. When private security company Chryse Guard Security (CGS) accepts a mission to help liberate a Martian city from being ruled by one of Earth's major powers, a military organization attacks CGS to stop the rebellion before it gets off the ground. Some boys use this as a chance to revolt and lead a coup against the adults who have been oppressing them.

3/5
The art and animation are strong, and the fight choreography is very fluid. Plus, the mecha themselves have unique designs that are fun to examine. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

retro b @retrobite Feb 1 A tragedy that unfolds with the inevitable cadence of a requiem. Earth is a hierarchical and corrupt center of power that exploits the Martian colonies, treating them as mere sources of resources and cheap labor. Tekkadan attempts to create an autonomous community, a glimpse of confederalism, but the capitalist and authoritarian system crushes them without mercy. Mikazuki is pure rage, devoid of intellectualisms, the fist on the table that shouts 'Enough!', accepting ugliness and violence as the only way to inhabit the modernity of catastrophe. Long live the infrarrealists of Tekkadan! See more IM A @RT10549085 02/01/2025 The Best Gundam design and not a common story. See more Steven B @RT15270934 06/28/2024 In light of Witch From Mercury, this is perfection. See more Thomas H @RT61522022 06/20/2024 A decent Gundam series and an good entry point for someone curious about Gundam, but intimidated by the amount of content for the Universal Century timeline. It's two seasons and a complete story. See more Read all reviews
