Many moons ago, Earth was pelted by six meteorites resulting in the creation of six moons, and only one island remained. Those who were unable to reach the island sunk to the ocean floor, where they gradually transformed into crystals over countless ages. Twenty-eight of these crystallized beings, known as the Lustrous, materialized from the depths and established a dwelling on the island. Guided by the wise Kongou-sensei, they were obligated to protect themselves from the infinite number of Lunarians residing on the moons, with the intention of harvesting their precious bodies to craft jewelry and weapons. The story revolves around Phosphophyllite, a young gem on the verge of turning three hundred years old. They're awkward, incredibly frail, and seem to have no discernible abilities, making them one of the weakest gems in existence. As their struggle against the otherworldly invaders intensifies, they learn that every power has a price, and no one should have to pay such a cost.
Reaching the epitome of martial arts requires seclusion and detachment, and a constant quest for unattainable goals. To surpass the limits of martial arts, it's essential to foster personal development and an unwavering determination to endure adversity. Once a humble apprentice and lowly janitor in the Lingxiao Martial Arts Sect, Yang Kai chanced upon a puzzling Wordless Black Book. This unexpected event not only altered his destiny but also signaled the beginning of his journey into martial arts.
Arrested for reckless space driving, super human Chiharu and cyborg Makina are sentenced to clean the Milky☆Subway—an old interplanetary train. Easy enough, right? Wrong. When the train suddenly takes off, they are thrown into a high-speed space-train spectacle packed with chaos, no plans, and zero strategy. Just pure momentum!
Set ten years after the events of Gundam F91, the tale revolves around Seabook Arno and Cecily Fairchild who uncover Crux Dogatie's scheme to invade Earth with the Jupiter Empire. In response, Cecily restores Crossbone Vanguard under her birth name, "Berah Ronah," who pose as space pirates to attack the Jupiter Energy Fleet. Seabook, known as "Kinkedo Nau," is one of the top pilots of the revamped Vanguard, alongside veteran Zabine Chareux. The narrative unravels through the eyes of Tobia Arronax, a teenage Newtype who inadvertently gets involved in the confrontation between the Jupiter Empire and the Crossbone Vanguard. While many Gundam aficionados were left underwhelmed by Gundam F91, Crossbone Gundam is lauded as one of Gundam's best due to its appealing characters, astute narration, and one-of-a-kind "pirate Gundam" designs. One cannot help but ponder how Gundam F91 would have fared had the original plan of a 52-episode TV series been fulfilled instead of compressing it into a two-hour movie.
(from ebookjapan): The year is 0169 of the Universal Century. The Earth Federation government has lost power, and the struggle for supremacy among the colonies has intensified, making it the "Space Sengoku Era". Ash King and other like-minded people stand up to put an end to the endless war!
In December 0079 U.C., the Principality of Zeon's withdrawal prompts two brothers to act as the rearguard in North America. Following their unsuccessful attempt to capture the Earth Federation's base located in Jaburo, they rely on their amphibious MSM-04 Acguy mobile suits. Unfortunately, they become the only survivors of their group and are forced to embark on a perilous, 2000-mile journey alone, without resources or backup. This narrative is showcased in the one-shot Kidou Senshi Gundam: Target in Sight.
U.C. 0097, one year after the opening of "Laplace's Box." Despite the revelation of the Universal Century Charter that acknowledges the existence and rights of Newtypes, the framework of the world has not been greatly altered. The conflict later dubbed the "Laplace Incident" is thought to have ended with the downfall of the Neo Zeon remnants known as the Sleeves. In its final battle, two full psycho-frame mobile suits displayed power beyond human understanding. The white unicorn and the black lion were sealed away to remove this danger from people's consciousness, and they should now be completely forgotten. However, the RX-0 Unicorn Gundam 03, which disappeared two years earlier, is now about to show itself in the Earth Sphere once more. A golden phoenix... named Phenex. (Source: Gundam.info)
The Universal Century began when humans migrated to outer space, and in the year UC0079, the Side 3 colonies declared independence as the Principality of Zeon, sparking a war with the Earth Federation. The conflict has been ongoing for almost a year, with intense fighting in the Thunderbolt sector—a region filled with remnants of destroyed warships and space colonies—as the Earth Federation seeks to reclaim Zeon-controlled territory.
