Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX

From the writers of Evangelion, comes a new, exciting, and an interesting view on the classic Gundam series. Jam packed with nostalgia and modern effects. This robot sci-fi brings back memories while supplying a new perspective to the story, expanding on the U. C. timeline but with a modern twist. From the futuristic soundtrack, to slick designs of mobile suits, even down to the voice acting, the show stands strong. As a fan of the original series, and watching it as a child, seeing such a strong sequel is rare to find in modern day, yet Gquuuuuux delivers beyond expectations. All in all, a must watch for all Gundam fans!

Set after the spacenoids' war that wiped out half of humanity for the sake of space immigration and independence from Earth.. as in-fighting within Zeon seeks total dictatorship.

... Unfortunately, what could have been a grounded continuation of Gundam's political and moral struggles instead collapses under the weight of its own repetition. There's a reason why all these new developments feel rushed.. because the writers can't make them matter as the predecessors did to the viewers (Char Aznable + Lalah Sune). Didn't they grow-up with this as a foundation? How can they honor what they love by rethreading the same explored concepts in such a dull manner!?

As with previous entries, the narrative leans far too heavily on newtypes as a shallow excuse to bring in new, often uninteresting young characters, rather than exploring something new. The idea of humanity evolving in order to adapt to space is quite interesting.. a heightened mental awareness is a great excuse for piloting better Space machines. And while telepathic abilities and psychokinesis is pushing the interesting core a bit too far.. this series goes to an extreme I can't get behind! And there's them holding so strongly to the past.. not letting their new additions stand on their own is unsightly when it all becomes stagnant.

You can summarize this entry in unexplained detours, irrelevant side-characters, and betrayals so rushed and hollow it can all be easily ignored. The series fills its downtime with dull civilian drama and half-hearted government intrigue that never earns its emotional stakes. With uneven pacing, rushed deaths, forced rivalries, hollow CGI-battles and a contrived love triangles that adds nothing.

It's a strange season, with episode 2 and 8 standing out due to its content. But the rest is bogged down by an obsession with nostalgia and recycling ideas.

In the end, it's hard to tell whether the series is a stepping stone, trying to reinvent itself or hiding behind its legacy.. pretending to deliver something new in a nonsensical manner.

Gundam, much like with Newtypes, should be allowed to evolve.

First, we get to the good part. The robot fights in this series are really good, the visuals overall are stunning and there is never a moment where you think that something looks bad.

Especially in the scene in the space colonys, you have very stunning visuals.

Also, the looks and the vibe of the characters are nice.

The biggest problem of this anime is the story, the first few episodes are okay, but than the story gets mixed up tehre just a ton of characters that get involved many arent explained well. The main charchters get to some werid places. And you really get lost what's happening right now wahts the importance off the curent events. The story is just really messed up.

The story is not that bad, but just too long for 12 episodes, and the storytelling is too fast. And there's just no real time to introduce new characters.

For me personaly it feels like that they got inspired a lot by neon genisis evangelion but more of the messed story line and not the good parts.

The anime is not that bad, but just od the robot fights are still pretty cool and the overall vibe is also nice, but just feels bad if you see this all getting destroyed by bad stoy telling.

You should sill watche this if you like gundama or just mecha in genral.

Trash that is less than a work of art

It is not a "character" at all.

There are some works that have a lot of character blurring even among the bad ones, but GQuuuuuuuX is not about character blurring or unattractiveness. There are many cases in which the characters do not exist as characters in the first place, and it is inevitable that they will become the strongest antagonists.

I am satisfied with the initial setting.

The characters in this work are only flimsy because there is little to delve into. There are many uncomfortable developments because the story proceeds without delving into them, in other words, with the initial setting of the story. In short, there is little personal aspect to the story, and everyone is stuck in a situation where everyone can only act within their assigned roles.

I have now watched the first 5 episodes of this show. It started out fine, but it's been starting to slow down a bit. They don't spend much of any time explaining the Gundam universe or key events. That didn't bother me, since I am no stranger to Gundam. But people that are new to the franchise might want to know a little more. I watched the first episode in both Japanese and English and the rest in English only. While all of the voice actors did a fine job I realized that I didn't really care about any of the characters. The 5th episode was the most difficult for me to watch. It was very slow and too much time was spent on people sitting around and talking. I wouldn't have minded so much if there had been some good banter or memorable dialogue. On the positive side the animation and the combat scenes are both pretty well done. I'll continue watching it for now, but if it doesn't get more interesting in the next few episodes I will likely stop watching.
