After War

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The After War is the timeline that the anime Gundam X and its sequel take place in. This "alternate universe" of Gundam is noted for its distinct apocalyptic world, however, at the same time, it has many similarities with the original Universal Century. After War is the only timeline, besides the original one, to feature Newtypes as an important element.

With the cancellation of the Gundam X TV series, it was expected that this timeline would never stage any other Gundam stories. However, to tie in with the release of the Gundam X DVD boxset in Japan, the manga Gundam X: Under the Moonlight was released in the Gundam manga anthology, Gundam Ace. Ironically, it had unexpected success, and was given an extension past its originally limited run of six chapters.
