Gundam is back, which means Weekly Suit Gundam returns once more, thanks to this weekend’s release of Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX -Beginning- in American theaters. The film, which collects the first few episodes of the upcoming GQuuuuuuX TV series, is the result of an exciting, long-awaited collaboration behind the Otaku madmen at Studio Khara, including Neon Genesis Evangelion creator Anno Hideaki and Gainax veterans Tsurumaki Kazuya and Enokido Yoji. The result is every bit as exciting as one would expect, a spectacular production that radically reworks Gundam history even as it forges a bold new path for the franchise. -Beginning- is a fantastic theatrical experience that bodes very well for the show to come, and after seeing these 80 minutes, we are extremely excited to see more in April. Enjoy, and be sure to join us for Season 5 of Japanimation Station, our anime ‘Grand Tour,’ when it premieres on March 16th, 2025! Read Jonathan Lack’s movie reviews and stay up to date with all our podcast projects at https://www.jonathanlack.comSubscribe to PURELY ACADEMIC, our monthly variety podcast about movies, video games, TV, and more: https://purelyacademic.simplecast.comRead Jonathan’s book 200 Reviews in Paperback or on Kindle – https://a.co/d/bLx53vKSubscribe to our YouTube channels! Japanimation Station: https://www.youtube.com/c/japanimationstation  Purely Academic: https://www.youtube.com/@purelyacademicpodcastSupport the show at Ko-fi ☕️ https://ko-fi.com/weeklystuffOriginal Music by Thomas Lack https://www.thomaslack.com/
