"New Anime 'Mobile Suit Gundam: GQuuuuuuX' by Evangelion Team: How to Watch"

The highly anticipated Mobile Suit Gundam: GQuuuuuuX has finally arrived for North American audiences, bringing with it an exciting new "alternate history" storyline and a challenging-to-pronounce name (reportedly "G-Queue-x"). Along with the new series, fans can look forward to an array of new model kits. IGN's Juan Barquin praises the series as “exactly the kind of inventive reimagining of Gundam we deserve.”

The influence of another monumental sci-fi series is evident in the credits of this new Gundam anime. GQuuuuuuX is 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 involvement of Hideaki Anno, creator of Evangelion, adds another layer of anticipation for where this series might venture.
