The highly anticipated *Mobile Suit Gundam: GQuuuuuuX* has finally arrived for North American audiences. This new Gundam series introduces an "alternate history" narrative, a challenging-to-pronounce name (allegedly "G-Queue-x"), and a fresh line of model kits. In a glowing review, IGN's critic Juan Barquin praised the series, calling it "exactly the kind of inventive reimagining of Gundam we deserve."
The influence of another monumental sci-fi series is evident in the credits of GQuuuuuuX. The series is directed by Kazuya Tsurumaki, co-director of *End of Evangelion*, and written by Yoji Enokido, a veteran writer known for classics like *FLCL*, *Revolutionary Girl Utena*, *Ouran High School Host Club*, and *Bungo Stray Dogs*, as well as episodes of *Neon Genesis Evangelion*. Additionally, the creator of Evangelion, Hideaki Anno, contributes to the project, promising an exciting and unique direction for the series.
