GQuuuuuuX discussion mega thread
Just got back from seeing GQuuuuuuX Beginning and wanted to start a thread for people to share thoughts and feelings. I’m gonna write a proper post tomorrow once I’ve had some time to digest (FYI I loved it). Please use the spoiler formatting for any key plot points to protect our fellow Gundam fans who have to wait until April for the full release. But I thought a discussion post would be fun for this community!
Yeah it was good! My wife watched it with me, she hadn’t watched any Gundam prior and I’ve only gotten into the franchise in the last few months.
I really like all the gribbly bits on the mechs in this new art style. I am not sure how to do spoiler tags so I’ll just avoid talking about the plot a bit.
Spoiler syntax:
::: spoiler Tag Text spoiler text :::
Like so:
Glad you enjoyed! I'm hoping this gets an accessible simulcast release. I'm sick of juggling streaming services (and have zero interest in taking up sailing as a hobby... been there, done that, burned out by 25 years of IT work).
Thanks for sharing the syntax.
And I agree about the streaming/sailing. I find anymore I’m too tired to sail. If something isn’t on a service I have I just don’t watch it. I’ve never been dinged for password sharing so currently I only pay for one service but share around and have 6.
Just saw this tonight. I'm just going to use one big spoiler block because it's late and I have no idea where my brain is going to go lol.

tl;dr This belongs on all longtime Gundam fans' watchlist.
I knew @MelodiousFunk@slrpnk.net would not disappoint with opening up discussion and speculation.
Apologies for not clearly marking non-GQX spoilers. I've gone back and edited that in.
Pinned as the official discussion thread for now. Congrats to those of you that had a chance to see it in theaters. I will have to wait until the spring season when it airs.
Thank you! Very excited for the series release and to hear your thoughts. Hoping everyone is incredibly considerate about spoilers, avoid creating spoiler posts and use the spoiler formatting in the comments here!
Background:
I'm still fairly new to Gundam, loved WFM, 08 MS Team and 0079 (although it took me a year of on and off watching). I'm also a big fan of Anno, especially EVA and Shin Godzilla. So I was already pumped for GQuuuuuuX. Having seen the movie last night and having some time to reflect, I wanted to share some of my thoughts.
Thank you for attending my Ted Talk, I don't write things like this often, so apologies in advance for the questionable writing. I'm excited to hear everyone's thoughts and remember, a lot of people won't have access to Beginning right now and have to wait until April, so be courteous and don't spoil it for others.
