The highly anticipated *Mobile Suit Gundam: GQuuuuuuX* has finally arrived for North American audiences. This latest installment in the Gundam franchise introduces an exciting "alternate history" storyline, along with a name that's notoriously tricky to say (supposedly "G-Queue-x"). To top it off, fans can look forward to a fresh lineup of model kits. In his review for IGN, critic Juan Barquin praised the theatrical release of GQuuuuuuX, calling it “exactly the kind of inventive reimagining of Gundam we deserve.”
The new series boasts a remarkable creative team, with notable influences from another major sci-fi series. Directed by Kazuya Tsurumaki, who co-directed *End of Evangelion*, and written 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*, GQuuuuuuX promises to be a thrilling addition to the Gundam universe. The involvement of Hideaki Anno, creator of *Evangelion*, further elevates the anticipation for where this series will take us.
For those eager to dive into *Mobile Suit Gundam: GQuuuuuuX* or catch up on the original series, here's a comprehensive guide on how to watch and what to expect.
