Added DiffLines:

* RealitySubtext: The then-recent Aum Shinrikyo terrorist attacks cast a long shadow over this series, not to mention ''Gundam'' as a whole. The final episodes' rebuke of the idea of Newtypes being able to usher in a new era of human evolution was at least partly motivated by the fact that earlier ''Gundam'' shows' focus on PsychicPowers had contributed to the NewAge craze in Japan that had allowed {{Cult}}s like Aum to thrive. This sense of disillusionment would soon filter back into the original UC timeline, particularly in ''Manga/MobileSuitGundamTheOrigin''.

* CreatorsPest: Olba Frost was hated by his voice actor - apparently, the role even gave him logomisia toward the phrase "Nii-san.".

* FollowUpFailure: Sorta. By the time Gundam X went to air, a Gundam series had been in production and continuously on TV since [[Anime/MobileSuitVictoryGundam 1993]]. Three solid years, once a week ''every week'', with no summer or winter hiatuses. Add in the fact that each new "season" took place in a new continuity, and the fan fatigue becomes apparent. A mid-season move to [[FridayNightDeathSlot the wee hours of Saturday morning]] was more than the franchise could handle at that point, and led to the first premature cancellation of a Gundam TV series since the original.

The U.S. is not the "West" as a whole. The "Western" (American, to be more precise) only was released in the U.S., and no other known releases in other countries.


* NoExportForYou: Rather infamously, despite sharing a similar tone and art direction to Gundam Wing, [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff which was a smash hit in America]], Gundam X was never licensed for the longest time. It wasn't until 2015, close to two decades after it was released, that it finally got an official DVD release in the West, [[NoDubForYou though with no dub due to the series' age]].
