Anime Tokyo Station, an exhibition site focused on Japanese anime content, will be hosting a special exhibition for Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX -Beginning-, which debuted in theaters around the world ahead of its TV broadcast. The show will be on display from May 24 to August 11 at the Ikebukuro event space, which has welcomed 156,458 visitors (as of April 13), children and adults alike, from both Japan and overseas.
The latest installment in the Gundam series, directed by Kazuya Tsurumaki, has generated significant buzz for being the first-ever collaboration between studio khara, known for the Evangelion franchise, and Sunrise, the studio behind Gundam. The pre-broadcast theatrical version using re-edited episodes from GQuuuuuuX has already drawn 2.02 million viewers and earned 3.34 billion yen at the box office, showcasing high anticipation and popularity even before the anime’s official airing (from Jan. 17-March 30, 2025). The theatrical event was released in North America by GKIDS in February.
The special exhibition at Anime Tokyo Station will showcase key cuts from the anime that revisit memorable moments from the theatrical pre-release. Visitors can also enjoy character standees, including the protagonist, Amate Yuzuriha (MACHU) and mobile suits, photo spots that recreate scenes from the anime and valuable production materials such as original scripts. There will also be a special corner where visitors can take AR photos with motifs inspired by characters from the anime — creating a uniquely Anime Tokyo Station experience.
