Mobile Suit Gundam: GQuuuuuuX has finally arrived for North American viewers, bringing with it a fresh "alternate history" narrative, a challenging-to-pronounce title (reportedly "G-Queue-x"), and an exciting array of new model kits. In his review of the GQuuuuuuX theatrical release, IGN's Juan Barquin praised it as "exactly the kind of inventive reimagining of Gundam we deserve."
The new series shows a clear influence from another iconic sci-fi franchise, thanks to its creative team. GQuuuuuuX is helmed by director Kazuya Tsurumaki, co-director of End of Evangelion, and penned 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 for where this series might venture.
