LOS ANGELES, July 4, 2025 ~ Yesterday, the Peacock Theater at Anime Expo 2025 was filled with excitement as Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX made its official U.S. debut. Presented by Bandai Namco Filmworks Inc., the special event, titled "Gundam Rising in Los Angeles - Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX SPECIAL EVENT," drew thousands of passionate fans to witness the highly anticipated collaboration between studio khara and SUNRISE.
The event kicked off with a screening of Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX Beginning, a re-edited theatrical version of the anime's early episodes. As the scenes unfolded on the big screen, the audience erupted in cheers, gasps, and applause, particularly during dramatic reveals and Mobile Suit entrances. This enthusiastic response was a testament to the enduring impact of the franchise and the deep connection fans have with the world of Gundam.
After the screening, attendees were treated to a panel featuring Director Kazuya Tsurumaki, Series Supervisor and Screenplay writer Yoji Enokido, Gundam Executive Producer Naohiro Ogata, and voice actors Tomoyo Kurosawa (Amate Yuzuriha "Machu"), Simba Tsuchiya (Shuji Itō), Shinji Kawada (Chalia Bull), and Yuki Shin (Char Aznable). Moderated by Risa Light, the panel provided an in-depth look at the creative vision behind Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX. The speakers discussed script development, character dynamics, and the series' visual identity while also reflecting on the evolution of the franchise and its emotional core. The highlight of the panel came when the voice actors performed some of their most iconic lines live, eliciting sustained applause and emotional reactions from longtime fans.

The event concluded with an energetic finale featuring an exclusive concert video from Kenshi Yonezu, who composed the series' theme song, and Hoshimachi Suisei, a popular VTuber and music collaborator.

The program ended with a high-energy performance by NOMELON NOLEMON, who made their first-ever appearance at Anime Expo. Their three-song set, which included "Midnight Reflection," "afterimage," and "HALO," left the audience in a celebratory mood.
In addition to the unforgettable experience, all attendees received a curated collection of limited-edition merchandise, including a custom-designed shopper bag, three collectible postcards featuring new artwork by Yumi Ikeda, Shie Kobori, and Sejoon Kim, a GUNPLA Trial Kit RX-78-2 Gundam, a branded Gundam headband, and an exclusive Gundam Card Game promotional card featuring Machu (RP-010).
