Thoughts on Gundam GQuuuuuuX Zieg Axis and Its Evangelion Comparisons
You know, I was scrolling through some comments the other day about Gundam GQuuuuuuX Zieg Axis,
and I couldn’t help but chuckle at how often people are comparing it to Evangelion. It got me thinking about both series and how they connect, especially when it comes to those iconic scenes that seem to echo one another. It’s like a nostalgic trip back to my college days, where I’d spend late nights binge-watching both shows with friends, debating the deeper meanings and just reveling in the epic mech battles. One comment that caught my attention was from a user discussing how the hangar scene in GQuuuuuuX feels so reminiscent of the first episode of the original Evangelion series. It’s funny because I can vividly remember the first time I saw that scene in Evangelion—there’s just something about the tension, the atmosphere, and the anticipation that’s so beautifully captured. It’s like they both know how to keep you on the edge of your seat! And then there’s the design aspect. I mean, when you realize that the same designer worked on both the Eva units and the Mobile Suits, it’s no wonder there are similarities. I remember a buddy of mine who was all about design aesthetics, and he’d get so animated discussing the sleek lines and movement of the mechs. We’d grab way too many snacks—seriously, who needs that many chips?—and just dissect every frame. What’s really fascinating is how GQuuuuuuX seems to incorporate not just homages to specific scenes but also dives into that broader style of storytelling and animation that made Evangelion such a landmark in the first place. It’s like they’re paying tribute while forging their own identity—something I appreciate as a fan. I also recall when the new Evangelion film trailers dropped, and people were buzzing about seeing the Second Unit in space. It was almost comical to hear folks exclaiming, “Is that Gundam?” I mean, who would have thought that one day we’d be excited about a studio, like Khara, stepping into the Gundam universe? It was a wild moment! In the end, whether you’re Team Gundam or Team Eva, it’s all part of that beautiful tapestry of anime that we love. I’d love to hear your thoughts! What’s been your experience with these series? Any memorable moments or discussions you’ve had? Let me know in the comments!
