Gundam: Requiem for Vengeance Soundtrack: Gundam: Requiem for Vengeance (機動戦士ガンダム 復讐のレクイエム) is a six-episode original net animation (ONA) set during the One Year War, the founding conflict of the 45-year-old Mobile Suit Gundam franchise. Unlike most Gundam entries, the story is told from the Principality of Zeon’s side, following Zaku II pilot Iria Solari of the “Red Wolves” squadron as she defends the European front against the Earth Federation’s new mobile suit, the Gundam. The series premiered on Netflix on October 17, 2024, so it is no longer “upcoming” — it has released, and both the show and its score have since been reviewed by critics.
