Mobile Suit Gundam MS IGLOO:
The Hidden One Year War
In July 2004, Bandai unveiled Mobile Suit Gundam MS IGLOO: The Hidden One Year War, the first new UC series since 1996's The 08th M.S. Team. Unlike the previous OVA's, MS IGLOO's animation is all computer generated. Also, the series was initially screened only at the Bandai Museum in Japan. Directed by Takashi Imanishi (Gundam 0083, Gundam Evolve), the series serves as an all-star gathering of mechanical designers, featuring work from Hajime Katoki, Yutaka Izubuchi, Shinji Aramaki, Kimitoshi Yamane and Kenki Fujioka. In contrast to the other One Year War side stories, MS IGLOO focuses on Zeon characters, in particular a young engineer named Oliver May. The series opens during the One Week War and animates some famous events from UC history, such as the Battle of Loum. Initially planned for three episodes, the episode count was doubled due to the series' popularity. The first three episodes have been screened at the Bandai Museum, and two have been released on DVD. The remaining episodes are currently in production, but the series is not available in the U.S.

It's well worth watching whether or not you even know what the Gundam franchise is.
Episode one is about a giant anti-ship cannon called Jormungand and the Battle of Loum. It's mostly Ship vs Ship combat with a two minute cameo by a well known Zeon ace.
