What is the film about? Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX -Beginning- follows the student Amate Yuzuriha. She lives where the sky is beneath her feet – in a space colony in outer space. However, her peaceful existence comes to an end when she meets a war refugee named Nyaan.
Nyaan pulls Amate into the world of illegal mobile suit duels, known as “Clan Battles.” Day by day, she fights under the pseudonym “Machu,” until one day an unidentified Gundam mobile suit appears, which is being sought by both the space military and the police.
In Japan, the film has already been very well received. It dominated for two full weeks and ranked number 1 at the box office. Additionally, it is the second highest-grossing film in the franchise based on box office revenue – the film has so far grossed around 15.7 million euros (via comicbook.com).
Now Bandai Namco is bringing the film, which is a compilation of the first 3 episodes of a new series, to Europe for the first time.
When does it start? Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX -Beginning- will be released starting March 11, 2025, in a selection of cinemas in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. You can find tickets on the official website of Bandai Namco at en.bandainamcoent.eu.
