"New Anime 'Mobile Suit Gundam: GQuuuuuuX' by Evangelion Team: How to Watch"

The much-anticipated *Mobile Suit Gundam: GQuuuuuuX* has finally arrived for North American audiences. This new installment in the iconic Gundam franchise introduces an "alternate history" storyline, a challenging-to-pronounce name (reportedly "G-Queue-x"), and an exciting new range of model kits. In his review of the GQuuuuuuX theatrical release, IGN critic Juan Barquin praised the series as "exactly the kind of inventive reimagining of Gundam we deserve."

The influence of another monumental sci-fi series is evident in the credits of this new Gundam anime. *GQuuuuuuX* is directed by Kazuya Tsurumaki, co-director of *End of Evangelion*, and written by Yoji Enokido, known for his work 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*. The involvement of Evangelion creator Hideaki Anno adds an extra layer of anticipation for where this series might lead.
