Released in the spring of 1997, "Gundam Wing: Endless Waltz" is a three-part original video animation (OVA) which serves as the sequel as well as the prequel of the highly popular "New Mobile Report Gundam Wing" TV series. It depicts a new conflict a year after the disasterous Earth-Space War, as well as recounting the early lives and mysterious past of the five Gundam pilots. Endless Waltz features redesigned mechas by the famous Gundam designer Hajime Katoki and revamped costume and settings by Yutaka Izubuchi. The result is another mage success which concludes the After Colony saga on a high note, and it spurned a 90 minute movie version in 1998 in times for original Gundam's 20th Anniversery.
