The staff working on Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX includes the Evangelion franchise creator Hideaki Anno as script writer, alongside Yoji Enokido. Kazuya Tsurumaki is the anime’s director. Take is the character designer. The voice cast includes Tomoya Kurosawa as Amate Yuzuriha, Yui Ishikawa as Nyaan, and Shimba Tsuchiya as Shuji Ito.
Sunrise confirmed that the anime will come to fans outside of Japan, but further details were not revealed on the release.
Lastly, here’s a story synopsis of the anime, via the newly launched official website:
Amate Yuzuriha is a high-school student living peacefully in a space colony floating in outer space.
When she meets a war refugee named Nyaan, Amate is drawn into the illegal mobile suit dueling sport known as Clan Battle.
Under the entry name “Machu,” she throws herself into fierce battle day after day, piloting the GQuuuuuuX. Then an unidentified Gundam mobile suit pursued by both the space force and the police appears before her, along with its pilot, a boy named Shuji.
Now their world is about to enter a new era
