Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX (pronounced as “Geeku-akusu”) began its advance theatrical screenings in Japan today. The theatrical experience is comprised of re-edited versions of selected episodes, collectively titled as “Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX -Beginning-“.
The screening was accompanied by an official announcement revealing that Hololive‘s Hoshimachi Suisei and J-pop band NOMELON NOLEMON will have insert songs in the film, which will presumably also appear in the TV broadcast of GQuuuuuuX.
Hoshimachi Suisei’s “I Don’t Care What Happens Anymore” is described as a “fast-paced song about the feeling of not being able to become an adult”, while NOMELON NOLEMON’s “Midnight Reflection” will be made available on digital streaming services from January 18 onwards. They feature alongside acclaimed Japanese artist Kenshi Yonezu, who will perform the show’s theme song “Plazma”.
GQuuuuuuX follows Amate Yuzuriha, a high-school student living peacefully in a space colony floating in outer space. When she meets a war refugee named Nyaan, Amate is drawn into the illegal mobile suit dueling sport known as Clan Battle.
Under the entry name “Machu,” she throws herself into fierce battle day after day, piloting the GQuuuuuuX. Then an unidentified Gundam mobile suit pursued by both the space force and the police appears before her, along with its pilot, a boy named Shuji.

The anime is a co-production between Studio Khara, who produced the Evangelion movie series, and Sunrise, who has worked on the Gundam series since the first TV anime series in 1979.
More information on the anime’s TV release, as well as international screenings of Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX -Beginning-, will be revealed in the future.
