The long-awaited *Mobile Suit Gundam: GQuuuuuuX* has finally arrived for North American audiences, bringing with it an exciting "alternate history" storyline, a challenging-to-pronounce name (allegedly "G-Queue-x"), and a fresh lineup of model kits. In IGN's review of the GQuuuuuuX theatrical release, critic Juan Barquin praised the series as "exactly the kind of inventive reimagining of Gundam we deserve."
The new Gundam anime shows a clear influence from another monumental sci-fi series, as evidenced by its credits. Directed by Kazuya Tsurumaki, co-director of *End of Evangelion*, and written by Yoji Enokido, who has worked on classics like *FLCL*, *Revolutionary Girl Utena*, *Ouran High School Host Club*, and *Bungo Stray Dogs*, as well as several episodes of *Neon Genesis Evangelion*, and with contributions from *Evangelion* creator Hideaki Anno himself, *GQuuuuuuX* promises to be a thrilling addition to the Gundam universe.
