About Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX
The anime is the first-ever collaboration between Studio Khara, known for the Evangelion series, and Sunrise, the studio behind the Gundam franchise. It’s directed by Kazuya Tsurumaki (Evangelion: 3.0+1.0 Thrice Upon a Time), with script by Yoji Enokido and Hideaki Anno. GKIDS acquired the North American rights for the movie, which premiered on February 28.
The official synopsis:
Amate Yuzuriha, a high school girl who lives a peaceful life in a space colony floating in space, meets Nyaan, a war refugee girl, and gets caught up in the illegal mobile suit dueling competition ‘Clan Battle.’ Using the entry name ‘MACHU’ Amate pilots a GQuuuuuuX and throws herself into fierce battles every day. At the same time, an unidentified Mobile Suit ‘Gundam,’ pursued by both the space army and the police, and its pilot, a boy named Shuuji, appears before her. And the world is about to enter a new era.
