During the Gundam Conference Winter 2024, fans were treated to a major reveal: a new anime series, Mobile Suit Gundam: GQuuuuuuX (pronounced GQuacks), produced in collaboration by khara and Sunrise. This unexpected announcement unveiled a bold addition to the Gundam universe, with the series set to premiere in Japan in 2025. Adding to the excitement, a movie-length theatrical edit of the series will debut across 373 theaters in Japan starting January 17, 2025, offering fans an early glimpse of this groundbreaking project.
The first key visual for Mobile Suit Gundam: GQuuuuuuX was shared on the official GQuuuuuuX X (formerly Twitter) account on December 12, 2024, further heightening anticipation for the film. The stunning artwork showcases the series' three main characters—Machu, Nyaan, and Shuji Itō—posed in the foreground on top of a what seems to be a Zaku type mobile suit, with the title's main mobile suit looming powerfully in the background.
This ambitious project marks an unprecedented collaboration between khara and Sunrise, combining the legendary Gundam legacy with the visionary artistry of Neon Genesis Evangelion. The series aims to deliver a bold reimagining of the Gundam franchise, pushing the boundaries of storytelling and design.
At the helm of the project is Kazuya Tsurumaki, celebrated for his work as assistant director on the Evangelion series. Tsurumaki brings his unique vision and narrative depth as the director of this new Gundam installment. Joining him is renowned mechanical designer Ikuto Yamashita, the creative genius behind Evangelion's iconic mecha designs, who will lead the development of the mobile suits and mechanical elements for this revolutionary series. Together, their combined expertise promises to deliver a Gundam experience unlike anything fans have seen before.
SYNOPSIS
Amate Yuzuriha, a high school student leading a quiet life in a space colony orbiting the stars, finds her world turned upside down when she crosses paths with Nyaan, a war refugee. This chance encounter pulls her into the underground world of Clan Battle, a high-stakes, illegal mobile suit dueling sport.
Using the alias "Machu," Amate takes to the arena, piloting the formidable GQuuuuuuX in relentless battles day after day. Her life takes another dramatic turn when she encounters an unidentified Gundam mobile suit, relentlessly pursued by both the space force and the police. Its pilot, a mysterious boy named Shuji, brings with him the promise of change.
As their paths converge, Amate, Shuji, and the enigmatic Gundam are poised to usher in a new era that will reshape their world forever.
