Mobile Suit Gundam: GQuuuuuuX has finally arrived for North American audiences, bringing with it an exciting "alternate history" storyline and a name that's delightfully tricky to pronounce (allegedly “G-Queue-x”). This new series also introduces a fresh line of model kits to delight fans. In IGN's review of the GQuuuuuuX theatrical release, critic Juan Barquin praises the series as “exactly the kind of inventive reimagining of Gundam we deserve.”
The new Gundam anime showcases the influence of another monumental sci-fi series, with its credits boasting some heavy hitters. GQuuuuuuX is directed by Kazuya Tsurumaki, co-director of End of Evangelion, and written by Yoji Enokido, known for his work on classics like FLCL, Revolutionary Girl Utena, Ouran High School Host Club, and Bungo Stray Dogs, as well as episodes of Neon Genesis Evangelion. The involvement of Evangelion creator Hideaki Anno adds another layer of anticipation. With such a talented team, the series promises to take fans on an unforgettable journey.
