Mobile Suit Gundam: GQuuuuuuX has finally arrived for North American audiences, bringing with it an exciting "alternate history" storyline and a name that's quite a challenge to pronounce (reportedly "G-Queue-x"). Alongside the new series, fans can look forward to a fresh lineup 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 new Gundam anime shows notable influences from another monumental sci-fi series in its credits. Directed by Kazuya Tsurumaki, co-director of End of Evangelion, and written by Yoji Enokido—who has penned classics like FLCL, Revolutionary Girl Utena, Ouran High School Host Club, and Bungo Stray Dogs, along with scripts for several episodes of Neon Genesis Evangelion—the series also boasts contributions from Evangelion creator Hideaki Anno. With such a powerhouse team, the possibilities for GQuuuuuuX are endless.
For those eager to dive into the new series or catch up on the original Gundam saga, here’s everything you need to know.
### Mobile Suit Gundam: GQuuuuuuX
Amate Yuzuriha, a high-school student living peacefully in a space colony, finds her life transformed when she meets war refugee Nyaan and is drawn into the illegal mobile suit dueling sport known as Clan Battle. You can watch this thrilling new Gundam show on Prime Video, which offers standalone subscriptions starting at $7.99/month. These are also included in Amazon Prime memberships, priced at $14.99/month, which come with additional Prime shipping benefits. New subscribers can enjoy a 30-day free trial.
Mobile Suit Gundam: GQuuuuuuX initially premiered in Japan as a feature film composed of four episodes. Starting April 8, individual episodes will be available to North American viewers on Prime Video every Tuesday. While the exact number of episodes remains uncertain, the recent Gundam series, The Witch from Mercury, featured 12 episodes per season. Stay tuned for updates on this exciting series.
While alternative histories are nothing new in the Gundam universe, GQuuuuuuX introduces a significant twist where the Principle of Zeon acquires the prototype Gundam instead of Amuro and the Earth Federation. Here’s the official synopsis:
