Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX:"It was made with a lot of dreams, hopes, and passion" - voice actress Tomoyo Kurosawa speaks passionately about the series

The finale stage greeting for the advance theatrical version of the latest work in the popular anime series "Gundam", "Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuX (Geku Axe)", "Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuX -Beginning-", was held on March 23rd at TOHO Cinemas Hibiya (Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo). This was the "last" stage greeting before the TV series airs, and Tomoyo Kurosawa, who plays the main character Amate Yuzuriha (Machu), Shimba Tsuchiya, who plays Shuuji Ito, Shinji Kawada, who plays Sharia Bull, Yuki Arata, who plays Char Aznable, and Mariya Ise, who plays Anky, appeared. This was Kurosawa's first time to appear on stage for an advance theatrical version, and he spoke passionately about his feelings for the work.

Kurosawa said, "This is a work that was made up of a lot of dreams, hopes and passion. We have planned it and brought it to this point. I think that it is precisely because a work is started with such passion that a lot of effort is required. It has come to this point with the help of so many people. When I watched the film, I felt the effort that the many staff members put in, one step at a time, to get to this point, and we too have worked sincerely. In short, I would say 'please enjoy', and I hope that our feelings reach out to you as well."

Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX is also a hot topic as it is the first collaboration between Sunrise, which produces the Gundam series, and Khara, known for the Evangelion series. Ahead of the TV anime series, a pre-release movie version with some episodes reconstructed began screening on January 17th, and has been a hit, grossing 3.2 billion yen and attracting over 1.93 million viewers. The TV anime series will be broadcast on 30 Nippon TV affiliates every Tuesday at 12:29am starting from April 8th.
