Mobile Suit Gundam Thunderbolt is an ONA series that streamed across two seasons from 2015-2017. It is an adaptation of the ongoing manga series of the same name by Yasuo Ohtagaki. The ONA adaptation was directed by Kou Matsuo, with mechanical designs by Hajime Katoki and Seiichi Nakatani, character designs by Hirotoshi Takaya and a score by Naruyoshi Kikuchi. Initially set during the later stages of the One Year War in UC 0079, the series focuses on the rivalry between Io Fleming of the Federation’s Moore Brotherhood and Daryl Lorenz of Zeon’s Living Dead Division. The second season jumps ahead to the post-war era in UC 0080 and features a conflict with a powerful Newtype leading a cult of the brainwashed. Collectively, the two seasons only adapt the first seven volumes of the manga, which is ongoing as of 2023. Each season is collected into compilation movies with new footage titled December Sky and Bandit Flower. The movies are available on home video in North America from Right Stuf’s Nozomi Entertainment.
