The latest Gundam anime sensation, "Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX," just dropped this season, and it's already turning heads! With a fresh premise and the powerhouse collaboration between Studio Khara (of "Evangelion" fame) and Sunrise (the legendary "Mobile Suit Gundam" studio), it's no surprise fans are buzzing.
But here's where things get interesting: eagle-eyed netizens have noticed that some of the show's background designs look almost identical to scenes from the "Rebuild of Evangelion" films. While both series share Studio Khara as a production partner, this striking resemblance has sparked quite the discussion among fans.
A sharp-eyed Japanese fan pointed out that the wall design in Sharian Bull's room in "Gundam GQuuuuuuX" Episode 4 looks nearly identical to the room where Misato Katsuragi and Ritsuko Akagi have their conversation in "Evangelion: 3.0 You Can (Not) Redo."
Seriously, the equipment on the walls is practically a carbon copy, and even the pipe placements are spot-on!
And if you look even closer, the floor seams and block designs also share an uncanny resemblance.
Another fan also spotted that the tombstone background in "GQuuuuuuX" Episode 4 gives off some serious déjà vu vibes, looking just like a scene from "Evangelion: 3.0 You Can (Not) Redo."
Now, this isn't to say these similarities are a bad thing! Given that both productions involve Studio Khara, it's not entirely surprising for fans to pick up on these shared elements. But the coincidence has definitely led to some playful banter online, with netizens joking, "Turns out GQuuuuuuX really *is* EVA!" And honestly, who can blame them? LOL.
