【Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX】Online Reactions to Episode 1

【Intro】
These are the online reactions right after the episode aired on April 9, 2025. Since many things are still unclear, a lot of the comments express confusion or questions.

◆ No Name
So we’re starting post-One Year War?
◆ No Name
Skipping The Beginning arc entirely, huh.
◆ No Name
Stay safe, earthquake folks.
“※ An earthquake occurred in Japan just before the broadcast. The text at the top of the image is an emergency earthquake alert.” ◆ No Name
Did they just say “victorious nation”?
◆ No Name
Can’t believe this era actually came.
◆ No Name
Komori-chan is cute, but the pacing’s fast!
◆ No Name
Jumping in cold, and the info dump is real.
◆ No Name
Military police incoming!
◆ No Name
They’re keeping the unnecessary exposition out.
◆ No Name
English and Japanese text both onscreen?
◆ No Name
Nyaan is totally unhinged lol
◆ No Name
Not sure yet if that part was a Tem Ray device.
◆ No Name
“You rarely see colony curvature depicted like that.”
◆ No Name
There’s probably a strict class divide, huh.
◆ No Name
What’s Kycilia even doing right now?
◆ No Name
“Exabe’s first sortie and it’s already a secret op… and they’re just like ‘you got this’? Seriously?”
◆ No Name
Vice Admiral M’Quve confirmed alive.
◆ No Name
That snatch-and-run was kinda sloppy lol
◆ No Name
“Mach’s core strength is legit. Those moves are trained.”
◆ No Name
They’re dropping characters and terms nonstop in ep 1.
◆ No Name
Square-shaped meteor? Construction material maybe?
◆ No Name
Vulcans blasting away at point-blank range lol
◆ No Name
MS battle’s solid. No obvious cuts so far—looking good?
◆ No Name
“Yeah, looks fine. Nyaan hiding behind smaller Mach is kinda funny though.”
◆ No Name
“So Mach gets in the Gundam and wins her first battle?”
◆ No Name
No Omega Psycommu activation from Exabe yet?
◆ No Name
The restraint in the city battle is pretty clear.
◆ No Name
The vernier just happened to miss, huh.
◆ No Name
Are those military police Zakus oppressing refugees?
◆ No Name
Seems like it.
◆ No Name
“Is Jezzie an official pilot? Doesn’t seem clearly shown.”
◆ No Name
So Mach picked the GQuuuuuuX just ‘cause it looked strong?
◆ No Name
The theme song’s a banger!
◆ No Name
That HARO jump though! Insane!
◆ No Name
Omega Psycommu finally kicking in!
◆ No Name
Is it fine for the Gundam to beat Zakus with just a heat hawk?
◆ No Name
Sparkles incoming—wait, is that a red Gundam?
◆ No Name
Ah, it’s starting to click now.
◆ No Name
“In the ED, it kinda looks like Mach and Nyaan live in the same room… but that probably doesn’t mean anything, right? Might be setting up for enemies-to-rivals?”
◆ No Name
This ED is gonna fuel a flood of yuri fanart lol
◆ No Name
We’ll probably get Char x Charilias cohabitation art too.
◆ No Name
It’s CharSha, not ShariSha! Get it right!
◆ No Name
Love that they properly showed Australia broken off.
◆ No Name
Episode 2’s gonna be One Year War era?
◆ No Name
The character design changing between ep 1 and 2 is comedy gold.
◆ No Name
Honestly, the reorder was a smart move.
◆ No Name
Like V Gundam, where ep 2 jumps back in time.
◆ No Name
As a TV series structure, this actually makes sense.
◆ No Name
It’s not a movie, after all. Totally different approach.
◆ No Name
“Next week is The Beginning, and the week after that’s the first Clan Battle maybe?”
◆ No Name
“Looks like we’re just getting reused scenes we saw in theaters for a bit.”
◆ No Name
“Still, this girl dives into hot zones on pure momentum.”
◆ No Name
Maybe she was raised in a weird environment?
◆ No Name
“Honestly, this level of eccentricity is perfect for a Gundam protagonist.”
◆ No Name
“Why they pilot Gundams: Amuro = survival. Kamille = MP rage. Judau = theft. Suletta = it’s just normal. Mach = ‘That one looks stronger.’”
◆ No Name
Felt like there were a lotta kicks.
◆ No Name
Gundam with a bad habit of kicking lol
◆ No Name
MSs tend to kick a lot anyway.
◆ No Name
“Thought they’d completely skip The Beginning, but guess not.”
◆ No Name
“If they stay in One Year War arc too long, maybe they’ll jump around?”
◆ No Name
“Next episode gonna open with that sound effect? Or a colony drop?”
◆ No Name
“Kinda feels like the colony drop needs to happen or nothing makes sense.”
◆ No Name
Doing the whole “why it’s painted red” backstory too?
◆ No Name
Hurry up and show the Dom!
◆ No Name
“It’s gonna be a while before we hit the movie content—this is just buildup.”
◆ No Name
“Still not quite clear on where Earth and the colonies stand in all this.”
◆ No Name
Same old American sphere of influence like in the original?
◆ No Name
“With the Beginning stuff added, the runtime might get pretty long—how’s pacing gonna hold up?”
◆ No Name
“Nowadays, even two cours is considered a long run.”
◆ No Name
“If they’re gonna sell a lotta Gunpla, I doubt it’s just one cour.”
◆ No Name
“The movies barely showed the Federation—wonder how they’ll fit in here.”
◆ No Name
“Clan Battles definitely give G Gundam or Witch from Mercury vibes.”
◆ No Name
They might’ve even scrapped the whole Federation system at this point.
◆ No Name
Would be nice to see some proper fleet battles once in a while.
◆ No Name
“Still the biggest mysteries are Sharon’s rose and the Zecnova—those are key.”
◆ No Name
Could be Zekuu’s domain?
◆ No Name
“Amazon Prime labels it as Season 1, huh?”
