STORY ABOUT
This 13-part original animation video first released in January 1996, Lieutenant
Shiro Amada comes to Earth to lead a Mobile Suit unit in the war with Zeon. He
quickly establishes himself as a likable, enthusiastic officer who believes his
first duty is to ensure the safety of the soldiers he commands. As his company
includes tough-as-nails Sergeant Karen Joshua, spaced-out Corporal Eledore
Massis, "jinxed" Sergeant Terry Sanders Jr., and anxious Corporal Michel
Ninorich, Shiro has his work cut out for him. Unlike the stoic pilots of the
Gundam Wing series, Shiro is excitable, kind, and often funny--which makes him
an appealing character. Little is seen of the Zeon enemy, except for the
aristocratic Aina Sahalin, whom Shiro meets in an impromptu space battle.
Directors Takeyuki Kanda and Umanosuke Iida handle their characters' maneuvers
through a sea of space junk much more skillfully than Don Bluth did in Titan A.E..
The bulk of the fighting takes place in lush tropical jungles, whose varied
green palette provides an effective backdrop for the angular red-and-white
Mobile Suits. Gundam: The 08th MS Team is set in 0079 UC (Universal Century),
within the main Gundam continuity: the popular Gundam Wing series takes place in
an alternate universe that uses the AC. The year is UC 0079 - the Federation has
begun mass production of the prototype Gundams for use by their ground forces.
Shiro Amada, commander of the 08th MS Team must lead his squadron through fierce
fighting on the ground. However, the Zeons are developing a secret project which
could tip the balance of power! Can Shiro and his ragtag team of castoffs,
rejects, and bad attitudes save the Federation?DVD FEATURES:
