Ahead of the 30th-anniversary events, a "Gundam Stamp Rally in Lalaport Fukuoka" will be held from July 18th, taking place throughout Lalaport Fukuoka.

"After War Gundam X" aired from April to December 1996 as the third installment of the Alternative series. It depicts the resurgence of a world war and its consequences from the perspective of Earth (the Vulture ship Freeden), which suffered unprecedented damage from a colony drop. The story centers on the battle between the Freeden and the New Earth Federation Forces and the Space Revolutionary Army, with major themes including Garrod's growth as he struggles to protect Tiffa and the existence of "Newtypes" who transcend humanity. The series was directed by Shinji Takamatsu, known for works such as "Brave Express Might Gaine."
