The long-awaited *Mobile Suit Gundam: GQuuuuuuX* has finally arrived for North American audiences. This latest addition to the iconic Gundam franchise introduces a fresh "alternate history" narrative, along with a new line of model kits. The series, dubbed "G-Queue-x" (a name that's notoriously tricky to pronounce), has received high praise from IGN's Juan Barquin, who describes it as "exactly the kind of inventive reimagining of Gundam we deserve."
Notably, the new Gundam series showcases the influence of another monumental sci-fi saga in its credits. Directed by Kazuya Tsurumaki, who co-directed *End of Evangelion*, and written 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*, alongside the visionary Hideaki Anno, *GQuuuuuuX* promises to take viewers on an unforgettable journey.
