Mobile Suit Gundam 0080: War in the Pocket - S01

Alfred Izuruha is a 10-year-old living in the neutral colony cluster of Side 6. Like most boys his age, he is obsessed with the war between the Earth Federation and the Principality of Zeon. What he does not know is that his next-door neighbor, Christina, is the test pilot of a prototype Gundam being developed in secret by the Earth Federation inside the colony. A Zeon Special Forces team is put together and given the job of infiltrating the colony to either steal or destroy it. When a skirmish breaks out between the Federation and the infiltrating Zeon forces, the fascinated Alfred stumbles upon a Zaku mobile suit that has been shot down, piloted by Zeon rookie Bernard "Bernie" Wiseman. After this encounter, the two begin a mutual friendship: Alfred can learn more about the war that interests him so much, and Bernie can gather inside information about the colony to help his team's mission.
