The new trailer for Mobile Suit Gundam: Hathaway's Flash is here.
Once more, our friends across the Pacific come through with something to look forward to since the pop culture industries of the Globohomo-dominated West are collapsing. No, this isn't a happy story with a happy ending, but the Universal Century rarely is anything but bittersweet at best and often outright tragic, so at least this is on-brand.
And it looks like we've got a good production team on this trilogy of films, so we're looking forward to another good entry into the franchise like Origin, Unicorn, and Thunderbolt have been. (Not that impressed with Narrative so far.) Part of that is due to this being based on a light novel with a strong following in its own right, and it builds on the appearance of these characters and this narrative in Super Robot Wars V (where things turn out much better, and we need that Hathaway becomes a potent pilot with a potent Gundam in his own right).
Don't blow it, Sunrise and Bandai. You've been doing good overall as of late with Gundam with all this 40th Anniversary stuff. If this meets expectations, you'll have earned your bonuses at the end of the year. Also, looking forward to all the tie-in Gunpla for this movie's release, and I wouldn't mind an English release of the novel either.
