Title: Gundam's Upcoming Cinematic Return to Theaters
This weekend, anime enthusiasts in Japan can catch the highly anticipated new series, "Mobile Suit Gundam" titled "GQuuuuuuX," on the big screen. Luckily, North American fans won't have to wait too long to join in the fun – Gkids, a film distributor, has acquired the theatrical rights for the "Mobile Suit Gundam: GQuuuuuuX -Beginning-" film. However, the specific release date is yet to be announced for our side of the globe.
On the bright side, Gkids has confirmed that the film will be hitting North American theaters on February 28th. But whether the screenings will be in Japanese audio, like the "Dan Dan" release last year, or include an English dub, remains a mystery. Despite this uncertainty, "GQuuuuuuX" marks an exciting milestone for the "Gundam" franchise – being the first show since "Reconguista in G" to premiere its first three episodes in theaters, and the first "Gundam" series to make its way to North American theaters.
The creative genius behind "GQuuuuuuX" includes top talent from the "Neon Genesis Evangelion" series, such as Kazuya Tsurumaki and Yoji Enokido, along with the franchise's creator, Hideaki Anno. Gkids president, David Jesteadt, was thrilled to share his excitement, emphasizing the impressive lineup of artistic talent collaborating on the project and the anticipated cinematic experience it promises.
In the meantime, eager fans can prepare themselves by catching up on content set in the Universal Century continuity. Alternatively, Mubi has added the "After War Gundam X" series, which has garnered positive reviews.
With the exact release date for the English dubbed version still unknown, keeping up with the latest announcements from Gkids or visiting their website is the best way to stay informed. For those eagerly anticipating the upcoming Marvel, Star Wars, Star Trek, and Doctor Who releases, io9 is the go-to source for updates.
