Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX Anime Series Finds Exclusive Streaming Home
With the success that the Beginning movie has been having in theaters, it’s no surprise that GQuuuuuuX is highly anticipated among Gundam fans. The series is set to take an alternate timeline spin on the original Universal Century timeline, in which Char and the Principality of Zeon emerged victorious in the One Year War. Needless to say, revisiting the fan-favorite timeline has created plenty of excitement among long-time franchise fans.
Prime Video’s official synopsis for the series reads: “Amate Yuzuriha, a high school girl who lives a peaceful life in a space colony floating in space, meets Nyaan, a war refugee girl, and gets caught up in the illegal mobile suit dueling competition ‘Clan Battle.’ Using the entry name ‘MACHU’ Amate pilots a GQuuuuuuX and throws herself into fierce battles every day. At the same time, an unidentified Mobile Suit ‘Gundam,’ pursued by both the space army and the police, and its pilot, a boy named Shuuji, appears before her. And the world is about to enter a new era.”
