  Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX -Beginning- 2025

  Watched 28 Feb 2025

  Near perfect audiovisuals, they really cooked with this one

  With regards to the writing though, there isn't much by way of thematic substance or character arcs, but it's still a really fun time especially with the first half and the setup for the main show is executed well. I'm incredibly excited for the main show and I can't wait to see what Tsurumaki and co. have cooked up.
