"New Anime Alert: Watch Mobile Suit Gundam: GQuuuuuuX by Evangelion Team"

The much-anticipated Mobile Suit Gundam: GQuuuuuuX has finally arrived for North American viewers. This latest addition to the Gundam franchise introduces an intriguing "alternate history" narrative and comes with a name that's challenging to pronounce—often referred to as "G-Queue-x." Alongside the new storyline, fans can look forward to a fresh range of model kits. IGN's critic Juan Barquin praised the series, calling it “exactly the kind of inventive reimagining of Gundam we deserve.”

The influence of another iconic sci-fi series is evident in the credits of GQuuuuuuX. Directed by Kazuya Tsurumaki, co-director of End of Evangelion, and written by Yoji Enokido, known for classics like FLCL, Revolutionary Girl Utena, Ouran High School Host Club, and Bungo Stray Dogs, as well as episodes of Neon Genesis Evangelion, the creative team is rounded out by none other than Hideaki Anno, the creator of Evangelion. With such a powerhouse lineup, expectations are high for where this series might lead.
