To start, let’s clarify that “Gundam GQuuuuuux” demonstrated it’s not just a mech anime with an unusual name, but one of the most successful newcomers within the franchise during its initial two weekends at the box office. Though it didn’t quite match the popularity of the anime franchise’s biggest film, “Mobile Suit Gundam Seed Freedom,” Hideaki Anno’s creation has been a significant hit. Unfortunately, no anime movie can maintain the top position indefinitely, as “GQuuuuuux” has now been replaced at the summit. Interestingly enough, something else claimed the number one spot in Japanese theaters.
If you’re seeking a reminder about Hideaki Anno, renowned in the anime world as the mastermind behind one of Gundam’s most formidable adversaries – Neon Genesis Evangelion. Despite the unexpected association for some, it’s tough to contest that Anno possesses an impressive understanding of mech series. The narrative of NERV not only offered some of the most epic mech battles in anime, Evangelion served as a psychological exploration not just of its EVA pilots but also of Anno himself. It remains intriguing to see if the upcoming Gundam project adopts a similar psychological angle for its storyline.
Gundam’s #2
Over the course of its second weekend, the film GQuuuuuux earned approximately $1.75 million USD, falling behind the live-action high school drama 366-nichi. Additionally, another eagerly anticipated anime movie hit theaters with the release of The Rose of Versailles remake, a revival of the cherished series that initially premiered in 1973. Despite debuting at ninth place, this was due to its limited screening in just 156 cinemas nationwide. As of now, The Rose of Versailles does not have a confirmed Western release date; however, good news for fans is that GQuuuuuux is set for distribution in North America.
Fans of Gundam will be thrilled to know that the upcoming compilation film is set for a Western release on February 28th this month. This movie combines the first three episodes of an upcoming series which, as of now, doesn’t have a confirmed release date. However, whispers suggest it might surface sometime this spring. At present, the English voice cast for the film remains undisclosed.
The Secret of GQuuuuuux
In terms of the upcoming Gundam film, let’s avoid revealing too many spoilers. This fresh tale is designed to cater equally to both novice and long-time enthusiasts of the Gundam universe. One of the key aspects that has kept the Gundam series relevant over the years is its skillful exploration of various timelines and alternate universes, spanning several decades since its inception in the 1970s. In the case of GQuuuuuuux, mecha enthusiasts might be surprised to discover where this series fits within the franchise’s history.
