The original Mobile Suit Gundam, an animated science-fiction series which debuted on Japanese television in 1979, for the first time portrayed the traditional giant robots of Japanese anime as realistic war machines instead of invincible superheroes. The people who used these machines were complex characters, and the stories encompassed human drama and social commentary as well as thrilling robot battles. After more than two decades, the Gundam saga has expanded to include nine television series, four video series, ten movies, and countless novels, comics, and video game adventures. Bandai Entertainment has also produced a wide range of merchandise for Gundam fans young and old, including fully pose-able action figures and astonishing model kits for which Gundam is justly famous.
