Editing Mobile Suit Gundam (section)

==Correct Century==
Many Gundam-verses are [[Post-Apocalyptic]] to some extent or other. This one takes that idea a ''lot'' further.

It is the turn of the 20th century, and humanity is at peace. What they don't know is that they are not the first iteration of humanity; they are the ignorant inheritors of a world that has healed since it was devastated in a cataclysmic event long ago. And not all of their precursors were wiped out. In fact, a vast stasis vault exists on the moon, and this "Moonrace" intends to reclaim the world they once lived on. And if the natives don't like it? ''Tough.''

As the series begins, the Moonrace begins an open invasion of Earth, only to find themselves stymied by one of their own, a scout named Loran Cehack, whose years on Earth ahead of the invasion have caused him to go native. When he discovers an ancient, ultra-powerful Mobile Suit buried in the earth, he becomes the last defender of Earth's heirs against the Moonrace - and in time will learn the dark secret history that even the Moonrace doesn't know.

One of the very few Gundam animes to never receive an English dub, the Correct Century has one of the most ambitious core concepts in Gundam's meta-history, as its creator officially proclaimed it to be the canonical future for ''every single other Gundam continuity'', up to its release (SEED, which was released after, was shown  in an official release to progress into its own independent timeline, and it is assumed all latter series do so as well). Fans, however, largely reacted by calling "bullshit", whether from the obvious continuity problems that this causes or from sheer emotional disgruntlement at the grimness this retcons into the happy endings of Gundam-verses like Future Century and After War. That hasn't stopped various writers from referring back to the '''Black History''', as it is known, in oblique ways or in more obscure manga spin-offs.
