The new animation "Gundam GQuuuuuuX" planning insider EVA elements into the new Gundam

The latest TV animation series of the Gundam series, "Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX", has been officially announced. It will be jointly produced by Sunrise and Khara. Hideaki Anno has been confirmed to join as co-screenwriter. The official recently revealed the inside story of the planning of the collaboration in an interview. Let's take a look.

The director of "Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX" has been confirmed to be Kazuya Tsurumaki, a well-known director of the EVA series. In addition, Hideaki Anno has confirmed that he will only join the cast as a co-writer. The mechanical settings will be done by Ikuto Yamashita. The story tells about an underground illegal MS battle arena in a certain space colony. A high school girl named Yamat, who originally lived a peaceful life, met Nyaan, a girl from the mysterious war colony, by chance one day, and accidentally drove GQuuuuuuX and was involved in a battle in the MS battle arena.

Official interview minutes:

The dream collaboration between the two major companies was first planned in 2018, when the producer from Khara first proposed the idea of ​​"What would happen to Kazuya Tsurumaki's Gundam?"

The producers of Sunrise are looking forward to a different feel for Gundam, especially the one directed by veteran director Kazuya Tsurumaki.

·The character design was done by Takeshi Takenori, the illustrator for Pokémon Sword and Shield. I believe there will be many changes.

The focus is on the mechanical settings. The waist and legs of the new protagonist machine are very different from previous Gundams.

The mechanical settings were originally suggested by the producer who wanted to see "how EVA's designers built the Gundam".

Please look forward to the fruit of the cooperation between the two major companies.
