RISE OF THE REVOLT: Mobile Suit Gundam

RISE OF THE REVOLT: Mobile Suit Gundam is a mecha and military science fiction anime series based on Sunrise's long-running Gundam franchise. The series is both directed and written by Saika Chouno, which marks her directorial debut.

Background
The story takes place on the 130th year of the Valencian Age (V.A.) calendar, with the series' world being similar with real life with most things, but has a different timeline of historical events (i.e. historical figures are either removed and/or replaced by fictional counterparts with an altered course of events) and geography (i.e. having different countries than real-life Earth).

The world was once at peace. Back then, countries held no ill will against one another, each of them developed at their own pace, and they were on good terms. New technology was on the rise, with many nations improving and creating new tech for the sake of their world's future. One of these creations were the Mobile Suits, conceptualized by the Yamigan president Kagehisa Konya, as advanced weaponry in case of a great conflict. Others agreed and adopted the idea, and so everyone would know of it and create their own variations.

Eventually, Kagehisa and Gareth Ardineas, the Nieldriss leader, would get themselves in a heated argument and would cut their ties - leading to a war, as suddenly Lord Gareth was dead, and his people pin their blame on Kagehisa and Yamiga. A war would break out between the two, but then as time goes by, other countries get unwillingly involved in this so-called Great World Conflict.

A human soldier who serves the nation of Yamiga. A less skilled soldier who suffers from abuse from his superior officers, but still follows their orders, albeit reluctantly. He has a question in his life that he desperately wants to answer.

Saerys Avram Lamirande (セイリーズ・アヴラム・ラミランド, Seirīzu Avuramu Ramirando)
