The much-anticipated *Mobile Suit Gundam: GQuuuuuuX* has finally landed in North America, bringing with it a fresh "alternate history" storyline that's as intriguing as its name is challenging to pronounce—allegedly "G-Queue-x." IGN's critic Juan Barquin praises the series as "exactly the kind of inventive reimagining of Gundam we deserve," setting high expectations for fans and newcomers alike.
The new Gundam series boasts an impressive creative team, including director Kazuya Tsurumaki, known for his work on *End of Evangelion*, and writer Yoji Enokido, whose portfolio includes classics like *FLCL*, *Revolutionary Girl Utena*, *Ouran High School Host Club*, and *Bungo Stray Dogs*, as well as contributions to *Neon Genesis Evangelion*. Adding to the excitement, the legendary Hideaki Anno, creator of *Evangelion*, is also part of the writing team. With such a powerhouse lineup, the narrative potential for *GQuuuuuuX* is limitless.
For those eager to dive into the series, here’s how you can watch *Mobile Suit Gundam: GQuuuuuuX* and catch up on the original Gundam saga:
