Story
Amate Yuzuriha is a high-school student living peacefully in a space colony floating in outer space. When she meets a war refugee named Nyaan, Amate is drawn into the illegal mobile suit dueling sport known as Clan Battle.
Under the entry name “Machu,” she throws herself into fierce battle day after day, piloting the GQuuuuuuX. Then an unidentified Gundam mobile suit pursued by both the space force and the police appears before her, along with its pilot, a boy named Shuji.
Now their world is about to enter a new era.

About Sunrise
For more than 40 years, Sunrise has been a "company that creates things from zero" and has produced many original video productions, including MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM and LOVE LIVE!
All of these works are the result of the collective passion of "people," including employees and creators.
No matter how advanced technology becomes, this will never change. The desire to create something that resonates with people's hearts is where it all begins and leads to all our results.
In April 2022, Sunrise merged with the film business of Bandai Namco Arts Inc., which engages in video production and video sales and which is part of the same Bandai Namco Group, and Bandai Namco Rights Marketing Inc., which engages in video distribution and other activities, to start anew as Bandai Namco Filmworks Inc.
Although the structure of the company has changed, we will continue to produce "good things" that deliver excitement to people around the world by bringing together the passions of each and every one of us, centering around the unique "SUNRISE" brand that we have been refining for many years.
