Is it a fan film?<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><strong>Answer:<\/strong><br \/>\nGundam Evolve is a series of promotional videos produced by Bandai and Sunrise animation. The first Gundam Evolve DVD includes a documentary look at how plastic Gundam models are made, and a pair of short full-CG rendered Gundam movies featuring the Zeta Gundam Mk II and the G-Gundam. The other Gundam Evolve DVDs include similar content. The first Gundam Evolve DVD was included as a free bonus disc in the first 10,000 units of the Perfect Grade RX-78-2 model kit. The second Gundam Evolve DVD was included as a limited edition free gift in the packaging of the Perfect Grade RX-178 Gundam Mk-II model kit. The third Gundam Evolve DVD was included as a limited edition bonus in the Master Grade GF13-017NJ Shining Gundam model kit.  And the fourth Gundam Evolve DVD was included as a bonus in the initial production run of the High Grade RX-78 GP03 model kit. As far as I&#8217;m aware, these DVDs were never sold individually in Japan. So beware of the dozens of retailers that sell pirated English and Chinese optional subtitled Gundam Evolve DVDs online.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Question: What exactly is &#8220;Gundam Evolve?&#8221; I&#8217;m seeing DVDs for it all over the place.
