The much-anticipated Mobile Suit Gundam: GQuuuuuuX has finally arrived for North American audiences, bringing with it an exciting new "alternate history" storyline. The series, which some are struggling to pronounce as "G-Queue-x," has been praised by IGN's Juan Barquin as "exactly the kind of inventive reimagining of Gundam we deserve." This new installment in the Gundam franchise not only offers fresh narratives but also introduces a new line of model kits, much to the delight of fans.
One of the standout features of GQuuuuuuX is the notable influence from another major sci-fi series seen in its credits. Directed by Kazuya Tsurumaki, co-director of End of Evangelion, and written by Yoji Enokido, a veteran writer known for his work on FLCL, Revolutionary Girl Utena, Ouran High School Host Club, and Bungo Stray Dogs, as well as episodes of Neon Genesis Evangelion, alongside the legendary Hideaki Anno, the series promises to be a thrilling journey. With such a talented team behind it, fans are eager to see where GQuuuuuuX will take them.
