About Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX
Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX is a brand new series directed by Kazuya Tsurumaki and is the first-ever major collaboration between EVANGELION series creator studio khara, and SUNRISE, the historic home to the Mobile Suit Gundam works. The anime series is currently streaming exclusively on Amazon Prime Video in the United States.
The series follows Amate Yuzuriha, a high school girl living peacefully in a space colony, who is drawn into the illegal mobile suit dueling competition known as “Clan Battle” after encountering a mysterious girl named Nyan. Taking the entry name “Machu,” Amate dives headfirst into the intense world of mobile suit dueling.
Around the same time, a mysterious Gundam mobile suit and its pilot, a boy named Shuji, who is being hunted by both the space military and the police, appear before her.
