Hideaki Anno Commented on Gundam GQuuuuuux Beginning

Studio Khara shared a message from its founder and Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX co-writer Hideaki Anno about the Gundam GQuuuuuux – Beginning – prequel movie. With this new series, the animator and filmmaker wants to depict a new type of tale within the Gundam IP.

Anno said that the beginning of Gundam GQuuuuuuX -Beginning- might surprise viewers because of how faithful of a representation it is and the exceptionally high energy and passion of the staff working on it. However, Anno believes Gundam GQuuuuuuX is one more piece in the vast grounds of the Mobile Suit Gundam series.

Anno continued by saying that, as they continue to be involved in the large contents of the Gundam IP, they should aim to revitalize and expand the franchise with works that take a different approach from pre-existing stories and that can be enjoyed by a wider audience. With that idea in mind, Anno approached Gundam GQuuuuuux Director Kazuya Tsurumaki to make sure the prequel portion of the anime received a certain amount of time.
