Hands of the creators — Gundam Credits Archive
Turns out that comprehensive Gundam episode & movie credits aren’t documented too well online, outside of the occasional show-specific deep dive. I find this information extremely interesting, and important to record.
To help remedy this — whilst rewatching any Gundam shows moving forward, I’ll be documenting ✍️ full episode credits in a new section of the site that will launch later this week soon. I’m currently exploring options for an improved setup, to ensure it’s easy to track individual creator contributions across episodes and shows.

Divisions may differ per show, but the plan is to group contributors into the following categories:
✏️ Planning & Animation
High-level writers, creatives, artists & designers. Plus everyone credited for animation-related tasks.
🎵 Soundtrack & Audio
Credits for soundtrack compositions, and insert tracks. Plus sound effects and any audio-related work. Note that Opening & Ending themes will be split out into dedicated pages, since they aren’t episode specific.
🎙️ Voice Acting
Japanese VAs. I’m very open to adding English VAs too, if anyone is able to supply me with a comprehensive list per show.
📋 Additional Credits
All other contributors, that don’t fit directly within the other categories. Typically producers, and high-level organizations engaged with the project.
This is very much a passion project, and will be updated when possible 🍿 (~2-3 episodes weekly). I’m firstly working through Gundam Wing & Endless Waltz for its 30th Anniversary. Next up will likely be Gundam X, in advance of its own 30th.

Once the section is live, do ping me on Bluesky if you notice any 😐 errors, or have ideas on how to improve the format in a low-lift way. The one area I have trouble with is sourcing English transliterations of Japanese names, since some kanji combinations can have multiple readings. So all input welcome!
Related — if you’re interested in the broadcast/release timeline for every Gundam show & movie since April 1979, I have a spreadsheet for that.
