Summary

- Sunrise and Safe House staff will render the animation with Epic Games’ Unreal Engine 5.
‘Mobile Suit Gundam’ is partnering with Netflix Anime to create an all-new series named ‘Mobile Suit Gundam: Requiem for Vengeance.’ The series will provide a modern version of the original Gundam narrative that started it all.
Fans have been anticipating the release date with bated breath. Unfortunately, not much is known about it because it is an anime that hasn’t been adapted from a pre-scripted work.
With that said, everything we know so far is detailed here.
In a new trailer, Bandai Namco Filmworks announced that the upcoming anime project ‘Mobile Suit Gundam: Requiem for Vengeance’ would globally premiere on Netflix exclusively.
The animated series will have six episodes to showcase a narrative set in the final months of the Zeonic War for Independence. This alludes to the first fight that resulted in the widespread development and deployment of mobile suit Gundam technology.
Australian actress Celia Massingham (DC’s Legends of Tomorrow) voices the lead character and performs the motion capture for animation.
Sunrise and Safe House staff are producing the animation with Epic Games’ Unreal Engine 5. The following staff are involved.
| Position | Staff | Other Works |
| Director | Erasmus Brosdau | Origin Zero |
| Script Writer | Gavin Hignight | Tekken: Bloodline |
| Producer | Hiroaki Yura | Under the Dog |
| Executive Producer | Naohiro Ogata | Mobile Suit Gundam Thunderbolt |
| Character Design | Manuel Augusto Dischinger Moura | Debut |
| Mechanical Design | Kimitoshi Yamane | Cowboy Bebop |
| Music Composer | Wilbert Roget II | Lara Croft |
While the animation is fancy, Gundam is a huge universe with countless exciting characters, and it’s hoped the series will have a compelling storyline to support its visuals.
One of the mainstays of the anime world is the Mobile Suit Gundam series. No other franchise has contributed more to the creation, development, and expansion of the mecha anime genre.
If ‘Mobile Suit Gundam: Requiem for Vengeance’ is a success, fans might expect more Netflix-Gundam collaborations in the future.
