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

The highly anticipated Mobile Suit Gundam: GQuuuuuuX has finally arrived for North American viewers, bringing with it a fresh "alternate history" storyline and a name that's a tongue-twister (reportedly pronounced "G-Queue-x"). Alongside this innovative narrative, fans can look forward to a new range of model kits. In his review of the theatrical release, IGN critic Juan Barquin praised the series as “exactly the kind of inventive reimagining of Gundam we deserve.”

The creative team behind GQuuuuuuX showcases the influence of another monumental sci-fi franchise. Directed by Kazuya Tsurumaki, who co-directed End of Evangelion, and penned by Yoji Enokido, the writer behind classics like FLCL, Revolutionary Girl Utena, Ouran High School Host Club, and Bungo Stray Dogs, as well as episodes of Neon Genesis Evangelion, the series also boasts contributions from the creator of Evangelion himself, Hideaki Anno. This powerhouse team promises a thrilling and unique direction for the Gundam universe.
