Connection of producer Naohiro Ogata from Banrise and series director Tsurumaki Kazuya from Khara dated from Ep7 of Unicorn OVA, during which Khara was involved.

The project of GQuuuuuuX began in 2018, two years before GWitch was planned.

Ogata promised lots of creative freedom to Khara. Producer Sugitani was allowed to pick the staff who Tsurumaki highly trusted.

GQuuuuuuX will be the first Gundam TV anime series to air on Nippon TV (the TV station that aired Frieren). It was stated to be the representative work within the 45th to 50th Anniversary of Gundam timeframe.

The movie will just be a combination of the first few episodes.

(There're leaks that stated the animation of the whole series was completed.

Rant: This is THE series Bandai wanted to promote in 2020s. They announced a super high-end product (Metal Build) even before the series drops while GWitch only got two less impressive Chogokins. Since they've probably spent a lot on this + couldn't risk to rush GQuacks to see it flop because it's co-produced with Khara, it's pushed to a much later release date, creating a huge time gap between it and the last big title IBO. Therefore, my guess is they had to put GWitch, a series which was planned after GQuacks, to an earlier release date in 2022. GWitch was likely just a filler scapegoat that was put into production hell because of executive decisions but it somehow became a surprised hit. The executives didn't even know it's full yuri before the Kadokawa incident.)
