Comment on "Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX" Anime Announced with Visual, PV

Apparently GQuuuuuuX is pronounced g-quacks.

And here I thought a cat stepped on the keyboard. Nope, duck.

Also apparently, Hideaki Anno is cowriting the series.

This could be delicious.

As far as I can tell, this seems to be a more or less standalone Gundam property rather than fitting into some timeline of one of the Gundam-verses.

The mobile suit aesthetics definitely support that conclusion. I haven’t watched the PV yet to confirm, but that’s definitely the way things have been leaning.

Not sold on the character designs at the moment

Interesting piece here is that the character designs are being done by Take. It seems pretty much in line with her other works including Pokemon (2019) and Katanagatari.

The mobile suit aesthetics

Mechanical design is being led by Ikuto Yamashita who has done quite a bit of mech work. Most notably, given Anno’s involvement, is that he did the mechanical design for Evangelion and its subsequent movies.

  It really shows! One of my first thoughts when I saw the trailer was that the characters looked like they could’ve stepped out of some modern Pokemon thing.

  Now that you’ve pointed it out, I can’t unsee the torso resemblance. Good catch.
