For fans of Yoshiyuki Tomino: what to watch, read & play next

Cross-media picks for Yoshiyuki Tomino fans — films, series, games and books in the same vein.

The works here share a gravity that will feel familiar to Gundam fans — space colonies pitted against Earth powers, wars fought by people too young for them, and political orders that claim legitimacy while practising violence. Ideology and survival collide, no side is cleanly right, and the cost falls on ordinary soldiers and civilians alike. Whether the lens is tragedy, satire, or action, these picks circle the same questions the franchise keeps asking about war, loyalty, and what colonies owe the world they left behind.

Frequently asked

What should I watch if I love the Gundam franchise?

Start with the entries closest to the original Universal Century timeline — Mobile Suit Gundam 0080: War in the Pocket is a short, intimate story about a child caught in the final days of the One Year War, and Mobile Suit Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory picks up three years later as Zeon remnants reignite the conflict. Mobile Suit Victory Gundam and Mobile Suit Gundam Wing carry the colony-versus-Earth political conflict into different continuities.

Are there books for Gundam fans?

Velocity Weapon is a space opera about a soldier who wakes up alone after her gunship is destroyed, expecting rescue but finding something far more uncertain — that sense of disorientation in the middle of a larger conflict will feel familiar. The Armageddon Inheritance is a harder sci-fi pick: Earth scrambles to stop an ancient alien fleet while piecing together why the old empire never responded to the threat.

Are there games that capture the feel of a Gundam series?

MS Saga: A New Dawn is the franchise's first full RPG, with 39 mobile suits and more than 300 enemy encounters across a post-war landscape. For something outside the franchise, DAEMON X MACHINA puts you in a customisable battle mech fighting rogue AI after a catastrophic collision reshapes the world — the lone-operative-in-a-broken-future mood translates well.
