Now, let’s talk about the Mobile Suits. The series introduces the gMS-α Red Gundam, alongside the familiar RX-78-02 White Gundam. Fans will also recognize the MS-06 Zaku and MS-06S Char’s Zaku.

Before the full anime airs, Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX -Beginning- is hitting theaters first, premiering on January 17 across 426 locations, including 52 IMAX screens. The film made an impressive debut, topping the Japanese box office in its first two weekends. It sold over a million tickets and has already pulled in 1.6 billion yen (about $10.3 million USD).

The story follows Amate Yuzuriha, a high schooler living in a space colony. Her life changes when she meets Nyaan, a refugee who introduces her to an underground mobile suit dueling sport called Clan Battle. Under the alias ‘Machu,’ she throws herself into intense battles until an unknown Gundam unit appears, pursued by both the space force and the police. Its pilot? A boy named Shūji.

The voice cast for the leads includes Tomoyo Kurosawa as Amate, Yui Ishikawa as Nyaan, and Shimba Tsuchiya as Shūji Itō. The anime is directed by Kazuya Tsurumaki, known for FLCL and Gunbuster 2: Diebuster.

The script is handled by Yōji Enokido (Bungo Stray Dogs, Utena, Sailor Moon Super S) and Hideaki Anno (Evangelion, Shin Godzilla). Character designs are by Take (Katanagatari, Zaregoto), while Ikuto Yamashita (Evangelion, Shin Kamen Rider) is responsible for the mechanical designs.

Additional production members include Yumi Ikeda and Shie Kobori for animation character design, Sejoon Kim for mechanical animation, and Toshiaki Ihara, Mahiro Maeda, and Shingo Abe for design work. The project is being handled by Bandai Namco Filmworks, with distribution by TOHO CO., LTD..

With this much talent behind the series and a record-breaking opening, it looks like GQuuuuuuX is shaping up to be a must-watch for Gundam fans.
