How to Watch Mobile Suit Gundam: GQuuuuuuX, a New Anime From the Evangelion Team

Mobile Suit Gundam: GQuuuuuuX has arrived for North American audiences, bringing with it a fresh "alternate history" storyline, a challenging-to-pronounce name (reportedly "G-Queue-x"), and an exciting new range of model kits. In IGN's review of the GQuuuuuuX theatrical release, critic Juan Barquin praised the series, calling it "exactly the kind of inventive reimagining of Gundam we deserve."

The new Gundam series shows the influence of another iconic sci-fi franchise in its credits. Directed by Kazuya Tsurumaki, co-director of End of Evangelion, and written by Yoji Enokido—who has penned classics such as FLCL, Revolutionary Girl Utena, Ouran High School Host Club, and Bungo Stray Dogs, along with episodes of Neon Genesis Evangelion—the series also features contributions from Evangelion creator Hideaki Anno. With such a talented team, fans are eagerly anticipating the direction GQuuuuuuX will take.
