This Mobile Suit Gundam VR anime is an attempt by studio Sunrise and the people at Atlas V to combine the nature of anime storytelling with virtual reality. Pierre Zandrowicz of Atlas V stated in Anime NYC on November 18 that "This is not a game, nor is it just a narrative experience—it's an immersive adventure that leverages the best of both worlds."

It is meant to combine the best of both worlds, as Zandrowicz stated, although there are not a lot of details regarding the plot beyond the fact that this anime is taking place in Century 0096.
