In a major announcement for anime and mecha enthusiasts worldwide, Prime Video has confirmed the exclusive global premiere of ‘Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX (Jīkuakusu)’, the latest chapter in the legendary Gundam franchise.

The highly anticipated series will launch simultaneously with Japan across more than 240 countries and territories on Tuesday, April 8, 2025, as part of the Prime membership.

According to a press release, the collaboration between two of Japan’s most celebrated animation studios—SUNRISE, the creative powerhouse behind Gundam, and Studio khara, the visionary studio responsible for Neon Genesis Evangelion—Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX unites an all-star creative team. The series is helmed by renowned director Kazuya Tsurumaki (FLCL, Evangelion), with a script penned by Yoji Enokido and Hideaki Anno, the mastermind behind the Evangelion franchise. Character designs are crafted by Take (Pokémon Journeys), while the mechanical designs come from the legendary Ikuto Yamashita, whose work on Evangelion revolutionized the mecha genre.

The series follows the success of ‘Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX -Beginning’-, a theatrical promotion that debuted in Japan in January 2025 before expanding to international markets, including the United States, Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, and Thailand. The film was met with widespread acclaim from both audiences and critics, setting the stage for the full series debut.

Keisuke Oishi, Country Manager of Prime Video Japan, emphasized the platform’s commitment to bringing top-tier anime to a global audience. “At Prime Video, we curate a diverse selection of content for our customers worldwide, with Japanese animation being one of our most popular offerings. Following the successful global streaming of Evangelion: 3.0+1.0 Thrice Upon a Time and Look Back, we are thrilled to present Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX to our Prime members in this milestone year—celebrating 46 years since the birth of the Mobile Suit Gundam franchise and the 30th anniversary of Evangelion.”
Director Kazuya Tsurumaki expressed his excitement for the project, stating, “I am honored to direct Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX, the latest installment in the long-running Gundam series. FLCL (Fooly Cooly) was enjoyed by many fans overseas, and it brought me great joy. Now, after all these years, I am delighted to present this new title through digital streaming. I sincerely hope audiences around the world will watch and enjoy it.”

With the creative forces behind two of the most influential mecha franchises coming together for the first time, Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX is set to redefine the genre and introduce a bold new chapter in the Gundam legacy. The series will be available exclusively on Prime Video, ensuring fans across the world can experience this historic anime event firsthand.
