Hideaki Anno, the creator of “Neon Genesis Evangelion“, Just closed a circle in his career: Finally it has become a key piece of an anime of the “Mobile Suit Gundam” franchise. During a recent event, the director confessed that if it weren't for Gundam, he probably wouldn't have followed in the world of anime. Now, decades later, he is helping to give life to the new delivery of the franchise.
In the event in question, Hideaki Anno met with experts such as researcher Ryusuke Hikawa and director Yutaka Izubuchi to talk about the “Mobile Suit Gundam” saga and the launch of “Mobile Suit Gundam Gquuuuux -beginning-“the film that collects the initial episodes of the new franchise series.

Anna recalled that there was a moment in his juvent in which he was losing interest in the anime, especially after the end of “Space Battleship Yamato”, but suddenly everything changed: “During the last episode of Daitron 3, the advance of Gundam appeared. At that time, the image of Gundam raising my head and with my eyes shining completely caught me. I thought: 'I have to do this every week'». That was the breakdown. If I had not seen that trailer, he says that his life would have taken another course.
Although Anno says he only wants to “support” the franchise, his co -workers made it clear that his role in “Mobile Suit Gundam Gquuuuux” is enormous. Not only did he participate in history, but he had a key role in his direction. This is an epic moment for anime: The guy who revolutionized the genre Mecha with “Neon Genesis Evangelion” is now behind “Mobile Suit Gundam”, the series that inspired him first.
And he does it in a special year, since while “Mobile Suit Gundam” turns 46, “Neon Genesis Evangelion” celebrates its thirtieth anniversary. With Anno on board, this new installment promises to be a bombing for fans of the Mecha.
