Looking at the staff, so many former gainax veterans are working on this, that alone really caught my attention, gainax and gundam coming together was never something I would see happen.
It's happened twice before though. Anno and other Gainax employees got subcontracted to do animation work on Char's Counterattack and Hiroyuki Yamaga came up with both the original concept and screenplay for 0080.
Shin Gundam is upon us, and it's on a UC based AU. The design is also extremely bold, I'm on reveal shock right now, but I'm really liking the design so far.
@riblo72 the gundam design is at its base impracticall and stupid just the fact of having a mech is stupid you also have to consider that this a gladitorial mech piloted by a teen in an underground mecha fighting ring its all about showmanship not about actual combat gladiators do not kill other gladiators for that would be too expensive
You know... I thoight the suit designs for IBO and Witch were pretty well varied from your usual suit designs, but the GQuuuuuuX looks... Cryptid? It looks out of place but exactly where it's supposed to be. For an Evan-Gundam series, I think it'll fit right in.
there were leaks that tell this is set in an Alternate UC, with Char capturing the Gundam, painted it Red and using it in the OYW. During the battle of Solomon there was a Psycommu Incident that destroyed most of Solomon and Char & the Gundam disappeared after that. Later a Red MS was seen in the Colony where Amate lives. In the trailer there was a scene with Red Funnels attacking the GQuuuuuux and those said Funnels belonged to the Red Gundam in the art that was also leaked.
I saw that leak too! So an entire generation of Feddie MS designs get wiped from existence and we get to see how the Gundam-derived MS's would look if they were developed further by zeon instead.
Yeah. It allows Bandai to gauge the hype of a show which allows them to map out the long term prospects of said show. It would also be bad if the show aired and collectors couldn't get hold of the kits.
They under estimated Witch from Mercury's merch demand before that series started, so there were shortages even in Japan. Post pandemic supply chain issues may have played a role too, but the show started in 2022.
In the gunpla discord, people were throwing around photos with different color schemes and yeah, pretty much OG Gundam colors are it's biggest drawback
@@rockblockstudio It does not use the Og gundams coloured though. It has way to many different colours. It has red, orange, yellow, violet, 2 shades of blue, multiple shades of grey and then the green and pourple camera bits. It is too much. OG Gramps had 5 colours if you include the frame and backpack grey and thats it.
@@zafranorbian757 red, white, blue and whatever yellow-orange they want. It uses the main Gundam colors. Maybe saying OG was my mistake, but it’s using the conventional Gundam colors. Regardless, the color scheme is still the biggest drawback imo
From what I saw on X and Facebook, a lot of Western fans are disappointed in the design of GQuuuuX, claiming that GQuuuuX has lost "what make Gundam a Gundam", even though it is not a Gundam (as of me writing this comment there is no announcement), while the Japanese side seems to be fond of the design.
I'm surprised they didn't brought Ippei Gyoubu into this. I heard he is busy with urdr hunt which is understandable but it felt like a huge Miss opportunity because the artstyle is really fit Ippei Gyoubu
I'm only 6 minutes into the video, but I'm not the only one who's seeing how "street" this gundam series is, right? Like, even the GQuuuuuuuX looks like a gundam that was designed by a graffiti artist
I always loved the idea that a Gundam was supposed to be almost a living mech. The Gundams in Wing especially often hint at an intelligence or even spiritual nature. A ghost in the machine if you will. That being said, mixing Eva and Gundams together in that context is a perfects idea. I would layer them with a mechanical inner frame, an “organic muscle system over that (like the eva’s” and than Gundam armor to finish it off. This would be great for a toy line especially, since each Eva-Gundam could swap G-armor like a knight and you get multiple gundams off of the same internal unit.
Here's what I have seen: This is an Alternate Universe of the UC era where Char stole a mobile armor Gundam, rebranding it as the Red Gundam and has Principality of Zeon win the war. This is 5 years after Neo Zeon won. The GQuuuuuuX is the main Mobile Suit of the new show. The head has a sliding gimmick for the V-Fin to slide up to expose the twin-eyes for a Gundam. The lower part of the head can also open like a jaw (similar to an Eva) which may be to cool the internal systems to prevent overheating. What I got from these sources (wiki and reddit) is that the GQuuuuuuX (as my friend said, the Eva Gundam) might be a Gundam in disguise based off of the og "Red Gundam". The MC may be a newtype on the same level as Char and perform the needed skills to bring out the full performance. I like to think that if it does have a mouth design, it can go berserk if she gets pushed over the limit and use the jaw like an animal. I'M SO EXCITED!!!
Not just Hideaki Anno. The FLCL main man [Anno's protege] Kazuya Tsurumaki is also involved, which is exciting to me. GET IN THE G-QUACKS, HARUKO! ...Also, I think Anno's out of his depression phase now, so this new series isn't quite guaranteed to be "dark".
I like the GQuack design a lot. It doesn't scream "Gundam" but it does look like what it's supposed to be: an underground sport fighting machine. This isn't some decisive strategic weapon developed at a top-secret government black site to turn the tide of a war, this is a custom street racing car built with hope and superglue in someone's garage. It's jank, it's slapped-together, it looks unfinished because it has no armor (doesn't need it), but it's got bright, busy colors scattered slapdash all over it because by god does it have heart and soul and just enough frame strength to carry its pilot's dreams and not fall apart from the shaking of the massive jet engines they crammed up into its legs. It's something we haven't ever seen before in Gundam. Even Gundams like Aerial and the Shining Gundam -- other Gundams built for "fighting" and not "combat" -- didn't really have that "home-grown underdog" feel to them. This one has a little puppy face on it because its pilot is part of "Team Pomeranian". It's new, it's fresh, and it's not gonna be to everyone's tastes, but it is going to be unique no matter what happens.
@@PeashamI don’t know that I’d called Thunderbolt a what if cause it doesn’t entirely change the OYW. The events of the show and manga can exist with the original events. I’d say Thunderbolt is more of a non-canon side story like Beltorchika’s Children or Gaia Gear. And Quacks is a what if.
@AsherReigns Considering mobile suits from Zeta and beyond show up way earlier than they should in Thunderbolt, no, they couldn't. Children is also explicitly a what if, specifically what if Amuro never broke up with Belt, and considering Gaia takes places in the far future, it doesn't actually contradict anything, so it's the only one that could be canon.
Origin is kinda a what if. The anime covers only Char's backstory but the manga has a bunch of differences from the 79 anime, like there's multiple Guncannon's on White Base, Sleggar appears earlier etc.
Aside from the EG RX7800/E and the compatible wings. There is a non grade 1/144 scale which has the gundam and the wings together but more expensive than the EG + Wings add-on.
While everyone rightfully geeks out over the new series, I want to say that the new new armor pack for the F00 Grandpa kinda looks like it was retrofitted with Psycho Frame.
I liked how the "feet" is essentially landing skits attached to the side of what is also essentially an engine/thruster for a leg. I think im generally ok with this design except the binders.
I kind of feel like it’s intended to sound like the word ‘axe’ since it’s main weapon is an axe. Obviously they pronounce it like G-Quacks, but I wonder if they were thinking of the phonetic sound of ‘axe’ when they came up with the title.
Yeah cause that's way less ridiculous... Look, I'm interested in the series, but come on. It's just not a good title. I mean that's a shit load of Qs for a show without John de Lancie. Just a weird ass name.
@@loiedonn4192 Yeah because tomino is fucking insane. G reco is his Foley. The guy has always been hit or miss. Really strong career in the 70s and 80s. The 90s were a disaster for him. He came back and made Turn A which is incredible and my personal favorite AU Gundam. But after that he has made anything good in almost 30 years
GQuacks the machine definitely looks like a "pre-evolution" version of a Gundam to me. I'm expecting we'll see a rebuild or successor suit in the show that adds some more Gundam features (and a gold v-fin, calling it now). Personally I'm into the unorthodox design, particularly the platform boot/racing prosthetic fusion going on in legs and feet. The wing (jetpack?) things throw me off a bit, but seeing it in motion should help my brain parse it, it seems like the kind of thing that is difficult to capture in a static image.
Quick note: the addon wings set for Entry Grade F00 is NOT THE SAME as what comes in the all-in-one release. Its much less detailed and less intricate (sub arms are one solid molded piece in the addon).
It's basically a Gundam G in UC alternative history, a underground fight with a street thugs that could possible targeted by the police force, that Zaku Police suits could be the proof the victory of Zeon history
Honestly, I am not feeling this series from all sides, crew, mecha design, and animation. And also if the leaks are true on what Universe this is in. But i watch the first couple of episodes to see if that changes.
In addition to the Gquuuux, Im super excited about that new entry grade lol! I’ve debated paying $40 for the high grade because i love its proportions.
The design of the gquuux is really interesting. The only part I'm not too confident about are the foot. Probably, without a stand, it would be very difficult to pull off a ground pose. The series itself has hyped me up very much. I loved the idea behind witch from mercury, so, I really wanna see what they're doing with this collaboration
I wanted to scream like a fangirl yesterday night, but instead i tried to stay as much silent as possible (I live in Italy, so the PV came out at 2:00 AM, when you posted the building video of the Zeus Destiny). Love the innovative design and the anime, i just can't wait!!!!!!!!!!
"qux" is commonly use for metasyntactic variable (placeholder variable) in programming. You start from qux quux quuux... and so on for a new placeholder variable. The fact that GQuuuuuuX got 6 u's can mean it's the 6th MS for this particular series.
For anyone who hasn't seen it, there is a video on the gundam info page where they have a short conference about the anime, the merch, and the expo pavilion for next year. They show off a completed version of the new kit in a close-up so you can see all the detail, what's colour accurate, and what isn't.
Wow, an evangelion & gundam anime. This is a mecha anime fan dream. Eva 01 mix with aerial gundam into a wicked mecha I can't wait for model kit this mobile suit next year
From what's implied in the trailer a Mav is like a supporter whether from outside or inside the Mobile Suit, or dual piloting. This is just my theory. Additionally the clan battles/duels like in Build Fighters or WFM, etc.
I’ve seen a couple of rumours on gundam forums, not going to spoil anything, and it’s all speculation anyway, but it seems a bit of a ”what if” series and that’s really interesting if true.
As this is being made in collaboration with the Evangelion studio, I consider that this project has all the ingredients to make an amazing Gundam series. Let’s wait and see what they cook with those ingredients.
This was a surprising announcement, did not see it coming, I expected based on predictions we would have a new series by 2026. The premise sounds like a modern G Gundam. The team behind it is an all-star squad.
@10:38 I can already see those yellow and red stripes being a color correcting sticker or sticker decals. those blacks on its wrist too. the white and orange on its elbow.
The characters look cool. Seems a little inspired by Cyberpunk Edgerunners. I don't like the pink hair with green highlights though. 😝 The mech is quite cool, though it's not love at first sight. As for 2025, I'm most interested in a new Perfect Grade. Hopefully a Zaku 2.0, Sinanju or Nu Gundam. Maybe a Tallgeese? But do you think they might go with something more current like a Calibarn or Aerial? I'm still hoping for a Buster and Duel based on the Strike Gundam kit.
wow, its got a dizzying amount of stuff going on, surely they went out their way to break all expectations of what a gundam should look like not sure if I like it, but I admire the boldness
I'm a bit worried it's going too far from roots of Gundam. But the design is obviously Evangelion vibe and I like both so I won't complaint - preordered from your link. :) Will it be on Crunchyroll?
Looking at the credits, it seems like most of the leadership (directors, producers, designers, etc.) for GQuuuuuuX is from Khara - I wouldn't be surprised if Sunrise is just sharing its animation team with Khara for this while its in-house leadership works on series coming further in the future.
Assuming you're pronouncing it correctly (because my reaction seeing it was "how the hell do you say that?"), I'm pretty sure the name is intended to sound similar-to-but-legally-distinct-from Gainax, the now defunct anime studio at which Anno created the original Evangelion series.
I want to like the design, but it looks so busy, which makes it forgettable. Many designers have forgotten how important silhouettes are in design. This silhouette just reads like a typical mech.
Actually, the katakana says jiikuakusu, so the pronunciation should be closer to G-Quacks/G-QuaX. Also, according to some facebook posts, & the fact it uses a zaku heat hawk, this is set in the UC timeline. The background blurb straight up mentions Char & the war between ESF & Zeon.
SHINJI GET IN THE GUNDAM
I WAS IN THE GUNDAM FOR THE PAST SIX MONTHS!
*dropkicks Gendo*
The Red Gundam Is piloted by Shuji 😂
He isekaied as Shuji now😆
Do we really want him around more redheaded female MS pilots?…
Shinji: You hit me! Not even my own fathe-...well actually now that I think about it...
also this is not Hideaki Anno's first time working on a Gundam series as he was a former staff member for Char's Counterattack.
Oh rlly ? Then this will be peeak
@@drsauce3768 Yeah, he designed all the new ships (Ra Cailum, Musaka, etc.)
I believe he also worked on G Gundam to some degree
He also worked on the G1 Transformers cartoon, there are a few frames that are unmistakably his.

veterans from gainax? so let me guess, 50% amazing series, that runs out of budget and farts out an "not ending"?
@marcosdheleno If you want to put it that way 🤣
@@marcosdheleno Gainax had more anime than Evangelion, you know.
Not gonna lie, I see more Gurren Lagann out of this than Eva

Junkyard Gundam.
FLCL vibes.
Eva animator/creator.
All all in.
Same director as the original FLCL (and Diebuster).
@@DarkeLourd Same writer as FLCL and Revolutionary Girl Utena too
Character design by Take who also did pokemon and katanagatari.
Gundam + Evangelion = never before seen levels of child traumatization. Gunpla looks pretty cool
erhem... space runaway ideon would disagree
It’s a really weird looking mobile suit. But honestly I kind of like it.
Yeah I kinda feel the same on it as the Barbatos. So really cool but also really weird.
Funny enough I’m not really getting evangelion vibes I’m getting more of a eureka 7 vibe
Me too.
Eureka Seven character piloting a crossbreed between an Eva and Gridman. Is what I'm thinking.
Thank god i ain't the only one who thought so.
Shin Gundam is upon us, and it's on a UC based AU.
The design is also extremely bold, I'm on reveal shock right now, but I'm really liking the design so far.
A Gundam wielding a heat axe is kinda hot.
Noted, that it seems the setting takes place in alt UC, that what if Zeon won the OYW.
Hot and stupid. The heathawk is a worse weapon than a beam saber. Why a high end prototype should use a weapon used by grunt mecha?
@@riblo72BECAUSE ITS WEIRD AND LOOKS COOL NEXT QUESTION!
@@fernadogonzalez2940 so cool and weird are more important in a REAL ROBOT setting than technology and usefullness. 😂

I'm going with GQX
Ah the space duck, what a majestic creature.
sounds like G-Krux in the trailer
That's basically the pronunciation in Japanese, so I think that's right.
G-cucks
is it normal for them to push merch this hard before the show even started airing...?
Yeah. It allows Bandai to gauge the hype of a show which allows them to map out the long term prospects of said show. It would also be bad if the show aired and collectors couldn't get hold of the kits.
It's Gundam dude
They under estimated Witch from Mercury's merch demand before that series started, so there were shortages even in Japan. Post pandemic supply chain issues may have played a role too, but the show started in 2022.
gundam has always been a big commercial
They severely underestimated GWitch popularity, so they need to test the waters as soon as possible.
GET IN THE GUNDAM ARMURO!
That's what Bright Noa kept telling Amuro in the early Mobile Suit Gundam episodes
We're jumping onto white base! Ahhhhhhhhhh
I cant wait for the chaos this collaboration brings since both studios know how to cause trama XD
I remember the Darling in the Franxx drama.
My eyeballs can’t seem to see the mobile suit. Maybe it needs a repaint or maybe it’s too busy?

I couldn't believe when I saw this yesterday and my mind is still blown. I'm loving the new gundam
That pomeranian looks like Pero, Fuwamoco's pet. Bau Bau
The visual and mecha design reminds me of Diebuster (Gunbuster 2)
By the way the Kanji on the Zaku shield reads "Police"
Probably won't be the last time it reminds you of Diebuster. They have the same director.
I hope they don’t over do it on the CGI/ 3d animation
I'm surprised they didn't brought Ippei Gyoubu into this.

I don't mind Gundam trying different things since there's DECADES of content.
Here's what I have seen:
This is an Alternate Universe of the UC era where Char stole a mobile armor Gundam, rebranding it as the Red Gundam and has Principality of Zeon win the war. This is 5 years after Neo Zeon won.

@00spinz35 possibly. But I went off of what my friend found. It was on Reddit and showed a summary of the history for the new series.
@00spinz35 it could be just a reused model with modifications to keep up with other suits due to the age.
@@MasonAustin-hk5pn I don't really mind what it ends up being , I'm just enjoying all the theory crafting!

I'm just here for the pronunciation, thanks. Also, in some unrelated news, my favorite pokémon is Quaxly so have that idea in your head.
In addition to the Gquuuux, Im super excited about that new entry grade lol! I’ve debated paying $40 for the high grade because i love its proportions.
6:05 - also has a Eureka Seven feel.
Wasn't Eureka Seven inspired by Gundam X and Galactic Drifter Vifam?
@pablocasas5906 I also can see some Aquarion Evol in this MS design.
And remember y'all, the main mobile suit isn't a Gundam!
I also see some AMAIM in the design of the gquuuuuux, with the knees, elbows, & ankles.
The design of the gquuux is really interesting.
The only part I'm not too confident about are the foot.
Probably, without a stand, it would be very difficult to pull off a ground pose.
The series itself has hyped me up very much.
I loved the idea behind witch from mercury, so, I really wanna see what they're doing with this collaboration
I wanted to scream like a fangirl yesterday night, but instead i tried to stay as much silent as possible (I live in Italy, so the PV came out at 2:00 AM, when you posted the building video of the Zeus Destiny).
Love the innovative design and the anime, i just can't wait!!!!!!!!!!
Love the song too!
"qux" is commonly use for metasyntactic variable (placeholder variable) in programming. You start from qux quux quuux... and so on for a new placeholder variable. The fact that GQuuuuuuX got 6 u's can mean it's the 6th MS for this particular series.
Their character design is giving me Studio Trigger vibes as well. Can't wait for it to be release 🙌
For anyone who hasn't seen it, there is a video on the gundam info page where they have a short conference about the anime, the merch, and the expo pavilion for next year. They show off a completed version of the new kit in a close-up so you can see all the detail, what's colour accurate, and what isn't.
Definitely a unique take on gunpla plus it seems the main mobile suit is loaded with stuff which is very nice.
Very excited for this new series. Model is unique. Can’t wait to get the kit and build it and have a unique look to my collection
Wow, an evangelion & gundam anime. This is a mecha anime fan dream. Eva 01 mix with aerial gundam into a wicked mecha I can't wait for model kit this mobile suit next year
From what's implied in the trailer a Mav is like a supporter whether from outside or inside the Mobile Suit, or dual piloting. This is just my theory. Additionally the clan battles/duels like in Build Fighters or WFM, etc.
I’ve seen a couple of rumours on gundam forums, not going to spoil anything, and it’s all speculation anyway, but it seems a bit of a ”what if” series and that’s really interesting if true.
As this is being made in collaboration with the Evangelion studio, I consider that this project has all the ingredients to make an amazing Gundam series. Let’s wait and see what they cook with those ingredients.
This is like a mix between the Aerial and Ibo suits! Both my favorite! And I see a tiny bit of Nu Char and G-self Gundam!
You can really feel the eva-like designs when looking at the datamined concepts found from the website
This was a surprising announcement, did not see it coming, I expected based on predictions we would have a new series by 2026.
The premise sounds like a modern G Gundam. The team behind it is an all-star squad.
Your X account says different otherwise. 😅😂
The Zaku ‘s Shield painted two traditional Chinese words ( 繁體漢語/和製漢字): 警察 means police.
@10:38 I can already see those yellow and red stripes being a color correcting sticker or sticker decals. those blacks on its wrist too. the white and orange on its elbow.
On the gundam subreddit there are some more designs(maybe concept?) to be seen.
I love this design more than i have any new MS design of the past 5 years or so
That V fin alone gives it so much personality.
In paper, the project is good, but it doesn't make me very hyped for it
The characters look cool. Seems a little inspired by Cyberpunk Edgerunners.
I don't like the pink hair with green highlights though. 😝
The mech is quite cool, though it's not love at first sight.
As for 2025, I'm most interested in a new Perfect Grade. Hopefully a Zaku 2.0, Sinanju or Nu Gundam. Maybe a Tallgeese?
But do you think they might go with something more current like a Calibarn or Aerial?
I'm still hoping for a Buster and Duel based on the Strike Gundam kit.
The Gquacks is easily my second favorite fowl based mobile suit name, right behind Tallgeese.
This MS literally yoinked a zaku heat hawk. I love this new series aesthetic.
How do I join channel membership?
wow, its got a dizzying amount of stuff going on, surely they went out their way to break all expectations of what a gundam should look like
not sure if I like it, but I admire the boldness
The unidentified Gundam is THE RX-78-2 GUNDAM, but redesigned by Ikuto Yamashita so it looks like an Evangelion.
There's only one thing which would make me more hyped than this and that would involve Studio Trigger working on Gundam ;-)
That is a mecha not a gundam
I'm a bit worried it's going too far from roots of Gundam. But the design is obviously Evangelion vibe and I like both so I won't complaint - preordered from your link. :) Will it be on Crunchyroll?
on some sketches of the head shows it opening its mouth.
definitely cant escape the Eva
Looking at the credits, it seems like most of the leadership (directors, producers, designers, etc.) for GQuuuuuuX is from Khara - I wouldn't be surprised if Sunrise is just sharing its animation team with Khara for this while its in-house leadership works on series coming further in the future.
I guess Sunrise is busy with Hathaway 2
@ Hathaway 2, a probably-inevitable gundam witch sequel, love live, all sorts of stuff
I just hope the kit has good stickers considering it looks like it'll have a shit ton of them.
I'm starting to think a masterpiece iron blooded orphans was an exception...
So, its a new series? not just a short episode one time collab thing.
Assuming you're pronouncing it correctly (because my reaction seeing it was "how the hell do you say that?"), I'm pretty sure the name is intended to sound similar-to-but-legally-distinct-from Gainax, the now defunct anime studio at which Anno created the original Evangelion series.
Love the designs, and that Haro variant!
I don't know how Evangelion's bitter fantasy will fit together with Gundam's flavour of dry sci-fi but we'll have to see.
I want to like the design, but it looks so busy, which makes it forgettable. Many designers have forgotten how important silhouettes are in design. This silhouette just reads like a typical mech.
Actually, the katakana says jiikuakusu, so the pronunciation should be closer to G-Quacks/G-QuaX. Also, according to some facebook posts, & the fact it uses a zaku heat hawk, this is set in the UC timeline. The background blurb straight up mentions Char & the war between ESF & Zeon.
