What happens when you mix the chibi art style - which morphs familiar characters into childlike forms with oversized heads and large eyes - with heavily armed, mechanized Gundam battle suits? You get anime magic!

SD Gundam stands for Superior Defender or Super Deformed Gundam. This media franchise expresses classic Gundam characters and unique ones in cute chibi style.

During the 1980s, a student submitted a drawing of a chibi gundam to a model toy magazine. By 1985, the oddly proportioned robot-like characters had serialized comics and small toys.

Soon, they expanded to manga, anime, trading cards, and video games.
