3 reasons why you should not watch this series:
1. **Characters** This is unlike any Gundam ever created in the worse way possible. It's basically an action drama with characters that have no texture. The MC, Amate, is the type of girl that grinds my gears. She is the best example of a brat who thinks she owns the world. She embodies the worst of women, manipulative, insecure, and selfish. I firmly believe the author based her off rebellious entitled Japanese girls. IMO she is the worst character ever created in the Gundam Universe.
2. **Action** Even though this is an action anime, the fighting sequences were worse than 1980's Gundam. 3D models look terrible. Lots of weird camera shots to save money.
3. **Story** Nothing on the line except Amate's virginity. She wants to get laid so…

10/10 Gqsuxxxxx took me this long to finish because every episode put my into a deep slumber. Put me asleep Better than a sleep number mattress, nightquil and a cup of warm milk. Worst Gundam series to date. ( Even with you wfm) Do not recommend unless you ou have a stubborn child who refuses to sleep. Show them this and they will be lights out for 8 hours!
The story is boring. The mobile suit designs are the worst thing I've ever seen in any mecha show (look what they did to gelgoog). Filled with new type dues ex. I'm not sure how any of this series was believable. You fumbled legendary great characters. Just shame all around. Who ever green lit this needs to be taken out back and beat.
Pretty colors tho. ( That's the only positive I can think of)

Mobile Suit Gundam: GQuuuuuuX is the worst Gundam Title I've ever watched. It came across like a soulless ChatGPT prompt of the highlights from the Gundam Universe without any sort of understanding of why those titles succeeded. Slamming the most iconic character Char Aznable and doing jarring flashbacks made such little sense unless the point was pandering for nostalgia's sake. Even then, I don't see longtime Gundam fans enjoying the vibrant colors of the anime.
It seems like Studio Khara leaned heavily into mecha fights since people enjoy them, even though the Clan battle fights serve no purpose except hearing a character say Kira-Kira. This feints that the NewTypes are learning to pilot a Gundam in addition to running away from spending time to flesh out the story. And let's not forge…

I have a Zeon tattoo. I got it in 2011. I would like to think that would lend me some credibility in telling others what I think they should be watching in a franchise about people with large robots in space committing war crimes.
I began watching this series with very low expectations, and knowing very little other than the fact that this was a timeline where Zeon had won the war. While I do find a lot of the story jarring, and a bit sporadic in its nature at how fast they try to push us through everything; I was not disappointed. It's definitely not the Gundam that I have come to love, but a brand new one that I am genuinely interested in. Cameos of familiar characters is always a fun thing, but meeting the new ones felt just as good.
I think my only major gripe I really had with this…

Some of the most unlikable characters that have ever appeared in anime, and by far the worst series in the entire Gundam franchise. From the first episode to the last episode, I despised every single one of these characters. I didn't care when their Gundams were exploding. I don't care character A has a crush on character B. None of the their actions made any sense. Everything felt rushed and disjointed. The action scenes were laughable with low-budget CGI robots punching other CGI robots, and then they use some ridiculous digital rainbow effects to save on budget even further. I've never given a Gundam show less than 6/10 but here we are.

Very disappointed with the direction this series went.
For context, I am a relatively new Gundam fan, I haven't watched a lot, but what I've most enjoyed by far is the UC series (the original series compilation movies, The Origin) I've seen so far. I am also a massive fan of Neon Genesis Evangelion, so the staff for this series really had me excited!
First of all, the positives. I really enjoyed the visual direction for the series, especially the sequences set during 0079. Khara recreated the style of the original series with so much love, and every episode that had a flashback was my favorite. The sound is good for the most part, but I was a bit iffy on the placement of some of the music. Certain episodes have a vocal track in their climax that I don't feel improves the context of the…

I want to make a pretty soft and fast review.
At first touch, animation and design is what stand out, both in good and bad way: general design, animation and Gundam stand out for the amazing quality and precision of details, then you look at the characters design, how they are literally drawn, and you can’t understand why this choice. At left we have the amazing Gundam design from Ikuto Yamashita, the master who invented and design the EVA of Evangelion, an amazing mecha designer; and on the right we have characters design from someone during an acid trip. It doesn’t make sense. I can’t see why this design choice, that make you feel this show very poor from the start.
Then about character and story, mmmh, there is a better way to describe this. At first, on the first 2/3 episodes, I was…

⚠️ Spoiler Alert: This review contains traces of memory, narrative standards, and thematic expectations — all of which are largely absent in the show.
With GQuuuuuuX (or whatever vowel soup this entry calls itself), the Gundam franchise has officially reached its postmodern collapse arc. The writing doesn’t so much evolve as it disintegrates — what used to be coherent (if ideologically tangled) narratives of war, identity, and political trauma now feel like TikTok-ready drama bursts, disconnected from any systemic gravity.
Characters like Lalah are reduced to symbolic ether, Amuro is a practically a JPEG in motion — and Char feels like a parody of himself without the self-awareness. The show leans heavily on referential nostalgia, but without understanding what made the original great. I…

this show is a big disappointment, the visuals look great, the writhing is above average. however, the dub is terrible with lining the voices up to the mouth movement and the show makes 0 sense without having seen the original Gundam. furthermore, the show advertises in the trailer and the early episodes that it is a Yuri. Only there is no Yuri in the show except for small hints.
overall, the quality of the show is Pritty decent, however you must watch a much lower quality show to understand the plot. and does not deliver on the expectations set in the trailer and early episodes

8.25/10 ~ A weird love letter to Gundam
GQUX is by far the largest split of the fan base Gundam has ever had. I am a relative newcomer to Gundam as I started watching during the time of Witch, but I have since have watched nearly everything that Gundam has to offer which weirdly puts me in a bit of a minority as most Gundam fans have watched barely 1/2 of what is all of Gundam. Looking back No one liked Zerta, then ZZ then F91, then No one liked Turn A, then Wing, then Seed, then Unicorn, then IBO and Finally no one liked witch. And here we are, history repeating itself, Anything changes from the mech designs to the formula, no one is happy. As said newcomer I do not have the distorted eyes of nostalgia, I see what Gundam and all of its complicated mess for what it is and I have to say GQ…

This is an amazing and unique series of Gundam. Firstly I am not fan of Gundam but this series will be perfect for boys (shounen) who love robots and cute girls. This unique series has two female protagonists: Machu and Nyaan, both are cute and attractive, while no other Gundam series have two cute girls as MC. There are also few fanservices and some additional cute girls appearance along the episodes.
[COMPARISON WITH PREVIOUS GUNDAM SERIES]
In the past there has been one Gundam series that has female MCs: Gundam the Witch from Mercury, but in Witch from Mercury series the MC is not attractive and several handsome men are in love with MC (typical reverse harem for female audience). Also Witch from Mercury has genre of romance & drama.
Gundam Gquuuux series do not have time for any kind…

Finally this disgusting mess is done for good. And honestly it shouldn't even titled "Mobile Suit Gundam" in the first place. As lots of you notice, this anime serves no purpose other than how-many-reference-can-you-put-in-here challenge. If reference or cameo is a dyck, this anime can literally be defined as non-stop jerk off with premature ejaculation for 12 episodes straight. But what makes it so worse is instead of keeping those reference accurate to the source material, they really take extra effort to go the extra miles to make it's about something else completely at its core which resulting in this anime feels so much more like an alternate timeline of Neon Genesis Evangelion instead of the one that is in its title.
The whole 12 episode of this mess is basically Evangelion's Impac…

Before this anime started airing, every forum post, article and Gundam fan was recommending it for those who had never seen a single piece of Gundam media in their life, having never watched Gundam, I heard to their recommendation and thought this was an amazing point to start.
I WAS WRONG! THIS WAS A TERRIBLE STARTING POINT.
This show REQUIRES you to have watched multiple other Gundam projects, I don't know which ones, you'll have to look that up.
If you ARE a gundam fan, however, there's clearly a lot of love put into this show, be it the amazing animation, all the references to past shows, returning characters, you name it, and while I believe you will find some enjoyment in that, it will not magically make this show good.
Even not counting all of the things that you need to unders…

DISCLAIMER: I have not watched any other Gundams and in fact have hardly watched any mecha (besides Code Geass and...oh god Guilty Crown I'm so old)

REALLY wish this series was 2 seasons like the past Gundam series apparently were
There is no avoiding it. This series is an absolute mess. Our main leads have "arcs", but they feel like sudden plot points rather than proper progression and don't get to interact nearly as much as I would have wanted. Like suddenly, this character needs to feel angry, suddenly this conflict between these two characters needs to be resolved. There is way too much going on for such a short series, between multiverses, political f…

I've once had a discussion with a few friends on how we don't get real trainwrecks anymore. The current industry being too risk-averse to even do originals, let alone something so batshit and over-the-top that you stop and question what you're watching. GQuuuuuuX isn't quite Valvrave level, but it'll do for now. I'm satisfied with how stupid, poorly thought out, batshit madness that has transpired over 12 episodes, though I wish they'd make another cour to continue the insanity.
GQuuuuuuX presents itself as an "Alternate Timeline" if Zeon won the One Year War, but in actuality, in a similar vein to Higurashi Gou/Sotsu or Final Fantasy VII Remake/Rebirth/Rewhatever, a Meta-Sequel that very poorly tries to answer the question "What if Franchise tried to give everyone a happy ending?". Howev…

This is what you guys get from not being harsh enough on Unicorn.
Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX is a Khara production, and as such, it's a cynical cash grab made to exploit nostalgia for a better series that this one fundamentally misunderstands. It's a show that suffers from an identity crisis, trying to both be an alternate universe version of the original Gundam that explores a OYW where Zeon won, but also a FLCL-style coming of age story for a group of young Newtypes who don't know how to face the world. Instead of deciding to pick one, the show tries to cram both radically different storylines in a mere 12 episodes, leading to both sides to be criminally underdeveloped due to a lack of breathing room, leaving both the character development non-existent and the world building of such a…

After finishing this series I can safely say that I strongly recommend you watch any other Gundam series if you want a decently structured story and impactful narrative.
The series, being 12 episodes, has not enough time to fully develop the characters and the world they live in, leaving many questions left unanswered as well as having an insanely rushed plot. The art style isn't anything special with many of the characters imo looking like they came straight from a Pokémon series. The Mobile Suit designs are definitely unique but are mostly there to just sell the kits to the viewers with a majority of them serving no purpose narrative wise. I do believe it had an interesting premise but the execution could've definitely done better (you can definitely tell Hideaki Anno had a hand in it a…

Probably the worst anime i've ever seen, the music aren't bad but the opening is nightmarish, the fights scenes are mid and worst of all : the story which starts with a setting rendered completely uninteresting as it is merely pretext for nostalgic cameo then completely discard its own worldbuilding when the political setup it teases in between the soporific and weightless match (to death, these guy are killing themselves and we don't even know why, who watches it, who organize it, the series just don't care) finally bears fruits.
All of this to end on a stupidly convoluted nightmare finale where every character more or less has the same objective which don't oppose them but will still try to kill each other for it. And they don't even end up doing it, the problem just fuck off to another…

“Gundam is a series that has a long history. I watched it as a child, and it has continued on. It’s been around a long time. However, the generation of fans has really been extended. We now have many young generations who have never even watched the first Gundam. I think the first Gundam is extremely interesting, so I really want the young people to watch it because I know they will find it interesting as well. Thankfully, we have subscriptions where you can watch it anywhere, anytime. In the past, if a show was no longer on television, you could no longer watch it. I hope that the new generation could also watch the old Gundam as well. If that is materialized, I would be really happy.”

Gquuuuuux is the best thing to happen to the Gundam franchise in a very long time and is a love letter to OG fans of the franchise. Sadly, it’s almost impossible to say why without massive spoilers for the story, so I’ll be talking in generalities here. Critics be damned, this was the best weekly viewing experience I’ve had since 86 was airing. There’s some issues with pacing and I wish we got more episodes to flesh out the characters and world, but honestly all of my criticisms of Gquuuuuux went out the window during the last few episodes. They were that damn good. In fact, Gquuuuuux contains the single hypest episode of anime I’ve ever seen in my life. I know, I know, that’s high praise and that’s genuinely how I feel. If you remember the feeling you had going into Avengers Endgame or Sp…
