Gundam GQuuuuuux Designer Reveals Hideaki Anno’s Role in New Series
In a recent announcement by Sunrise and Khara, the highly anticipated Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuux (pronounced “g-kwux”) TV series has sparked a wave of speculation among fans regarding Hideaki Anno’s involvement. Anno, best known for his creation of the iconic Evangelion franchise and as the founder of Khara, has been credited with co-writing scripts alongside director Kazuya Tsurumaki, contributing to design work, and storyboarding for the upcoming Gundam series.
Fans took to online platforms to dissect the extent of Anno’s contributions to the project, prompting Gundam GQuuuuuux and Evangelion mechanical designer Ikuto Yamashita to address the rumors on X (formerly Twitter). Yamashita clarified that while Tsurumaki is the driving force behind the project, Anno may provide support in certain aspects. As the president of Khara, Anno is privy to the intermediate work during production, but Tsurumaki aims to avoid revealing too much to him prematurely to prevent potential setbacks.
The response to Yamashita’s statement has been overwhelmingly positive, with fans expressing excitement for the collaboration and appreciating the insight provided. Additionally, the announcement confirmed the voice cast for the series, with Tomoyo Kurasawa, Yui Ishikawa, and Shimba Tsuchiya set to portray key characters. Tsurumaki will take the helm as director, with Yoji Enokido overseeing and co-writing the scripts.
As anticipation builds for Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuux, the series website promises further updates in the near future. Stay tuned for more details on this groundbreaking collaboration between two anime powerhouses.
