What Current Anime Are You Watching Version v4.0

[M'Kyuun]

Started watching GQuuuuuux, a rather nonsensical appellation (yeah, I realize it's a placeholder, but certainly they could've come up with something better) and after four episodes I find it a bit lackluster thus far relative to other Gundam entries. While many entries in the franchise are a bit contrived to ensure the featured pilot finds their way into the cockpit of a Gundam, this one stands out as particularly ham-handed as well as her ability to unlock its other abilities where the intended pilot, a Newtype no less, failed.

Thus far, and it's still very early into the series, there hasn't been much character development with more time allotted to setting up the alternate UC timeline and the clan-fighting subplot. 

Spoiler

Shuji, a mysterious pilot of a Red Gundam, claims to hear his Gundam speaking to him. Beyond piloting the Red Gundam, he appears to be a bum with no apparent occupation to support the upkeep of his Gundam. His weird proclamations and directions from the Gundam, which no-one else perceives, coupled with his lifestyle, or want for one, are just a few of the big question marks of this series. Machu, the main female protagonist is a student with apparent Newtype abilities with the usual Mary Sue like quality of jumping into a machine she's never seen before and magically piloting it with an inexplicable prowess. Judging from the opening sequences, it appears that she and another character, a parts courier named Nyaan who introduced her, by writers' contrivance, to the Pomeranians, a group of young engineers who maintain a mobile suit for clan battles, will eventually share digs. As of ep 4, that hasn't happened yet but I'm curious to see how that relationship unfolds.
