Mobile Suit Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory

Aired: 1991

An OVA set in Universal Century 0083, three years after the One Year War. When the Earth Federation's new nuclear-armed prototype, Gundam GP02A, is stolen by the legendary Zeon ace Anavel Gato, rookie test pilot Kou Uraki takes the helm of the prototype GP01 to recover it. The series weaves intricately animated mobile suit combat with serious military drama, the destined showdown between Gato and Kou, and a far-reaching political conspiracy that shakes the Universal Century itself. With theme songs from Miki Matsubara and MIO, lavish mechanical animation and tightly directed action, Stardust Memory exemplifies the high production values of the OVA boom.
