GQuuuuuuX comes with a lot of creative talent behind it Neon Genesis Evangelion alumni Kazuya Tsurumaki and Yoji Enokido, plus the creator of that franchise, Hideaki Anno. In a statement, Gkids president David Jesteadt highlighted the creative pedigree of the mecha series, calling it “an outrageous combination of artistic talent collaborating on a series as rich in history as Mobile Suit Gundam is the display of the appointment. We are proud to play a role in bringing such an exciting new project to audiences in the cinematic experience that the film truly deserves.”
