Many people found the image of the gentlemanly Challia running with the young ones to be quite a gap, with the internet buzzing with comments like, "The Green Old Man's run pierced my heart," "The Green Old Man running in the OP was too cute, I can't handle it," and "I never expected the Green Old Man to smoothly run along in the OP." This "gap moe" in the opening animation might have increased Challia's fanbase even more.

"Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX" is the latest installment in the "Mobile Suit Gundam" series, which has been ongoing since 1979. It tells the story of Amate Yuzuriha, a high school girl living peacefully in a space colony, who gets caught up in an illegal mobile suit duel competition called "Clan Battle" after meeting a girl named Nyaan. The joint production by Studio Khara and Sunrise, known for works like the "Rebuild of Evangelion" series, has been generating buzz. The movie version, released in January before the TV series, became a huge hit, grossing over 3 billion yen.
