Gundam 0083 (機動戦士ガンダム００８３) is a 13-episode anime OVA series set in the Gundam universe. The first volume containing two 30-minute episodes was released in Japan on May 23, 1991. Subsequent volumes, containing one 30-minute episode each, followed every one or two months; the final volume went on sale on September 1992. The series was directed by Mitsuko Kase (Episodes 1–7) and Takashi Imanishi (Eps 2–13). The fact that the director was switched in between the show left open several plot holes, for which the series is criticized by many Gundam fans to this day. The characters were designed by Toshihiro Kawamoto. The anime is licensed in North America by Bandai Entertainment and is available on VHS and DVD. The series is set in Universal Century 0083, three years after the end of the One Year War chronicled in Mobile Suit Gundam. (Wikipedia)
