Mobile Suit Gundam: GQuuuuuuX has finally arrived for North American audiences, bringing with it an intriguing "alternate history" storyline, a challenging-to-pronounce name (allegedly “G-Queue-x”), and an exciting new line of model kits. In a glowing review of the GQuuuuuuX theatrical release, IGN critic Juan Barquin praised the series as “exactly the kind of inventive reimagining of Gundam we deserve.”

The new Gundam series showcases the influence of another monumental sci-fi series in its credits. GQuuuuuuX is helmed by director Kazuya Tsurumaki, co-director of the iconic End of Evangelion, and penned by Yoji Enokido, a seasoned writer known for classics like FLCL, Revolutionary Girl Utena, Ouran High School Host Club, and Bungo Stray Dogs, as well as contributing to Neon Genesis Evangelion. Additionally, the legendary Hideaki Anno, creator of Evangelion, joins the creative team. With such a powerhouse lineup, the potential for groundbreaking storytelling is immense.

If you're eager to dive into Mobile Suit Gundam: GQuuuuuuX or wish to catch up on the original Gundam series, here's all the information you'll need.
