The highly anticipated *Mobile Suit Gundam: GQuuuuuuX* has finally made its way to North American audiences. This new installment in the Gundam franchise introduces an "alternate history" storyline, a name that's notoriously tough to pronounce (supposedly "G-Queue-x"), and a fresh lineup of model kits. In his review for 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 *GQuuuuuuX*. Directed by Kazuya Tsurumaki, who co-directed *End of Evangelion*, and written by Yoji Enokido—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*—the series also boasts the involvement of Evangelion creator Hideaki Anno. With such a powerhouse team, the trajectory of *GQuuuuuuX* promises to be thrilling.

For those eager to dive into *Mobile Suit Gundam: GQuuuuuuX* or catch up on the original series, here's all the information you need:
