It states somwhere in the movie that it was 3 years, unless there was two
years after the series and before the kidnappings happened. i wish that
this was an OVA though, rather than a game. I dont have a Saturn and dont
plan to buy one.

I have a booklet with info on the game but I'm to lazy to try to translate
it (besides, my Japanese isn't up to snuff).

Yeah really, you'd think shed have grown up a bit, then again, she is from
the Misumaru family

Actually, Gundam W is supposed to have Gundanium, but that however seems to
be a convenient plot device to justify their invincibility whereas the
distortion field seems to have a more fleshed out explanation.

Speaking of which, what are those guns that the Aestis use in the movie. Do
they use distortion fields?
