Gundam news alert! Let’s get into it:
- There’s a new Gundam series on the way
- It’s called Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX
- It features scripts co-written by Neon Genesis Evangelion creator Hideaki Anno
- Scripts are supervised/co-written by Yoji Enokido (Bungo Stray Dogs)
- It’s animated at Anno’s studio Khara (and Sunrise)
- It’s directed by Kazuya Tsurumaki, who helmed FLCL, the coolest anime ever
Sounds, uh, great?!
The series, which is pronounced “gee quacks” (yes, seriously) centers around a high schooler named Amate who lives on a space colony and gets involved in an illegal mobile suit sport called Clan Battle.
It stars:
Tomoyo Kurosawa as Amate Yuzuriha
Yui Ishikawa as Nyaan
Shimba Tsuchiya as Shūji Itō
Character designs are credited to take (Pokemon conceptual character artist), while mechanical designs are by Ikuto Yamashita (Evangelion).
A re-edited version of the first few episodes will hit Japanese theaters on January 17. No word on when the series itself will begin to air. We’ll have more information about this new Gundam series when’ve got it! Here’s the official description from the website:
Amate Yuzuriha is a high-school student living peacefully in a space colony floating in outer space.
When she meets a war refugee named Nyaan, Amate is drawn into the illegal mobile suit dueling sport known as Clan Battle.
Under the entry name “Machu,” she throws herself into fierce battle day after day, piloting the GQuuuuuuX. Then an unidentified Gundam mobile suit pursued by both the space force and the police appears before her, along with its pilot, a boy named Shuji.
