Evangelion Team's 'GQuuuuuuX': How to Watch

Mobile Suit Gundam: GQuuuuuuX has finally arrived for North American audiences. This new Gundam series brings a fresh "alternate history" storyline, a name that's more challenging than ever to pronounce (reportedly "G-Queue-x"), and, naturally, a new collection of model kits. In IGN's review of the GQuuuuuuX theatrical release, critic Juan Barquin describes the show as "the inventive Gundam reimagining fans have been waiting for."

The credits of this new Gundam anime reveal a notable influence from another major sci-fi franchise. GQuuuuuuX is directed by Kazuya Tsurumaki (co-director of The End of Evangelion) and written by Yoji Enokido—who also penned beloved anime classics such as FLCL, Revolutionary Girl Utena, Ouran High School Host Club, and Bungo Stray Dogs, in addition to scripting multiple episodes of Neon Genesis Evangelion—alongside Evangelion creator Hideaki Anno. With such creative minds involved, the series' direction is bound to be extraordinary.

If you're wondering where to stream new episodes of Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX or how to catch up on the original Gundam series first, all the essential details are listed below.

Mobile Suit Gundam: GQuuuuuuX first premiered in Japan as a feature film comprising four episodes. Starting April 8, individual episodes will be released on Prime Video every Tuesday for North American viewers. While the total episode count hasn't been confirmed, the recent Gundam anime, The Witch from Mercury, featured 12 episodes per season. We'll update this article as more information becomes available.

What Is GQuuuuuuX About?
