The latest installment, “Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX,” is about to drop, and the hype is real! Just last week, a sneak peek was screened in Japan, and a shiny new trailer has followed hot on its heels.
This masterpiece is a collaborative effort between khara and Sunrise, with renowned animator Kazuya Tsurumaki at the helm as director. Moreover, the iconic Hideaki Anno takes charge of scriptwriting, diligently working alongside the director in aspects such as design and storyboarding.

In the floating space colony setting, the story centers around high school girl Tenohira Yonoha and her tranquil life, which takes a dramatic turn with the sudden arrival of Nean, a war refugee.
