For over 30 years, many GUNDAM fans have believed that "Victory Gundam" was regarded as the FINAL ENDING CHAPTER to the UC Timeline.
But what If I told you that before that anime was even released; the creators of gundam produced a sequel to the events of Char's Counterattack and a follow up to Gundam Hathaway's Flash set 100 YEARS into the future. A story that many of us in the west haven't even heard of before.
That story was "GAIA GEAR". Released as a series of 5 novels written around the same time as the original "Hathaway's Flash" books (and later an audio drama which I will be dissecting), Yoshiyuki Tomino created a brand new story that was centered around "Afranche Char" (a clone of the late Char Aznable) as he fights the forces of "The Manhunter Agency" (who we're first properly introduced to us in the Hathaway's Flash books) and their armies of highly advanced "Man Machine" mobile weapons.
Piloting the titular "GAIA GEAR α", Afranche must help a fledgling resistance stand against the federation's agents now bent on tyranny. On his journey, he'll uncover the truth and reasons why he was created. Unlock and discover as well as hopefully rectify the past mistakes/flaws of the fallen Zeon hero and ultimately try yo live up to his genetic forbearer in his own mission to survive this new age of overpowering technology, human de-volution and suffering and sheer utter chaos.
(Sorry for any audio issues. microphone isn't up to snuff. ALSO I got super mad when I realized I didn't make this video for widescreen. Oh well, that'll be a fix for part 2.
