The next Mobile Suit Gundam show is coming to theaters

This weekend, Japanese audiences can watch the hot new Gundam mobile suit series, GQuuuuXin cinemas. Fortunately, North American audiences will also have a chance to see the upcoming anime on the big screen – we’ll just have to wait a while before we can.

On Friday, film distributor Gkids revealed it had picked up the theatrical rights to Mobile Suit Gundam: GQuuuuuuX -Home- movie. It will hit theaters here on February 28th and will continue… that’s not clear at the moment, nor is it clear if the screenings will only have Japanese audio (as when Dan Yes Dan hit theaters last year), or include an English dub. While the larger franchise is no stranger to theatrical films and compilations, this makes the first one Gundam show from Reconquista in G to have its first three episodes in theaters and the first show in the franchise to reach North American locations.

GQuuuuX comes with a lot of creative talent behind him Neon Genesis Evangelion alumni Kazuya Tsurumaki and Yoji Enokido, plus the creator of this franchise, Hideaki Anno. In a statement, Gkids president David Jestad highlighted the creative pedigree of the mecha series, saying their “outrageous combination of artistic talent collaborating on such a legendary series as Gundam mobile suit is watching a date. We are proud to be involved in bringing such an exciting new project to audiences in the cinematic experience that the film truly deserves.”

While we wait Gundam Mobile Suit: GQuuuuuX’s theatrical cut on February 28th (and the actual show coming sometime this year), it might not hurt to catch up on the shows set in the Universal Century continuity, as it looks like it might be important. Alternatively, Mubi recently followed suit After the Gundam X war, and that sounds pretty good on its own.
