That cheeky thumbnail.
I'm going have to disagree about IBO and NT! IBO is actually one of the greatest meacha shows to come out because of its diversity from what a gundam world would look like without beam weapons (mostly... tashmahal mobile armor) and NT was great because it not only helped give explanation about newtypes, but the plot overall was pretty good as well (even though the movie could've gone on a bit longer for character development). Twilight axis however, . . . I could care less about.
@@RyohuHajimeRX-0UnicornGundam IBO is bad. That doesn't magically change because of having an initial premise that's interesting to some people.
@@shinji136 IBO is great especially its ending because the faction that realistically should win the final battle actually won. There's no plot armor or "power of (newtype) friendship" for the protags in the end. They took the wrong step during the crucial time and they paid the heavy price for it. Plain & simple.
Hey who are you fill out your about section people want to know where this grade A content is coming from. If not its cool or just do a background video
face reveal?
"The grim reaper won't come for you when you expect it, Hathaway."
What a line.
Amuro Ray
This is the best line from this movie. Amuro’s ghost is still haunting Hathaway.
Your mastery of motion graphics and scene transition is spectacular. This video is a big breath of fresh air on this website and you should be very proud of this.
Can the author please fill out the about section would like to know more honestly, if not its cool thanks
Exactly what I was thinking. Her voice, no stupid exaggerations, the music and voices in the background, the analysis.
Everything flows so well. She deserves more and will get more subscribers. I'm subscribing.
Yeah, I second this, I wonder if they ever went to art or film school
16:10-16:58 is just a masterpiece of editing. It could honestly be a trailer for the movie on it's own
What’s the song played at this part ? Thanks

@@alexanderprokhorchuk7520 I absolutely love that song (and the whole soundtrack), but the lyrics are a little weird.
It honestly makes watching Gundam Chars counter attack and the other prequel series so much better.
Little Hathaway’s cameos are so meaningful.
Rarely do we find Gundam vids of your quality. Have to say, this is stellar work like all the others. Thank you for shining a light on the massive universe we know and love.
Loved this video. And yeah, that mobile suit fight in the city was probably the stand out moment for me. I was just taken aback at how both beautifully stunning and terrifying it was. Their use of perspective was something I've hardly seen so effectively used in media and I loved every second of it.
One of my biggest complaints about Gundam is that these are supposed to be 6 story tall robots that move around like fighter jets, but they feel like they're maybe 20 ft tall tanks when we watch the shows. This movie did a fantastic job of showing them almost as Kaiju-esque monsters terrorizing everything around.
Seeing Gigi run off to chad lad mcFeddy boi after holding her hand through the hellscape of MS battle gave me a deep depression that made me sympathise with this broken boy.
His motivations are judged from misfortunes yet his actions remain calm and confident. Its scary and tragic
woman moment
Moral of the story: Don't be a simp
Well, who would you go with and is safe to be with after a terrorist attack? A terrorist or a soldier?
@@DaSpineLessFish But later she invited Noah for coffee. She had serviced ground for that by running to chad lad. She's done her job.
@@alexanderprokhorchuk7520 what do you mean by "she had serviced ground for that"
1:45 as someone who used to live in Davao city this is accurate (the name of the city in the movie). Once a month we usually have a blackout so it's normal for us to walk around in the dark at night. It's a more scarier experience at the forest, and it's even scarier at the ocean even though we don't have predators in the ocean
I dont recall any blackout ..i think brown out on some areas for maintenance
I *never* caught the detail of Hathaway freezing at seeing the hijacker wearing a mask that resembles Quess’s hair.
CCA is one of my favorite movies. I feel stupid for missing that
Same. Very much a "Duh, how did I miss that?" moment watching this video.
Yeah I just freaking love that one night fight scene. It really shows the fight from a nearby pedestrian angle, instead of the conventional fight observer angle.
This is easily the best Gundam video essay I've seen. I had a similarly strong reaction to this movie. I think it's the most experiential Gundam has been. You really capture its attention to detail, and it helps that the video itself is similarly aesthetically strong. Hope when the next one comes out we can expect another video essay from yourself on it.
Also there's a timely flash back when Gigi goes to that general. The fight with amaro and char was very nice to see animated with modern animation.
Though I don't agree Hathaway is the best gundam movie.You make a compelling argument that makes me view the movie through a new lense. Everything about this video is a deep look clearly made with a passion I rarely see on youtube anymore when it comes to anything related to Gundam. I deeply hope you continue to make videos.
Thunderbolt imo is better. Still Hathaway was no slouch
Char's Counterattack still remains best Gundam film, but Hathaway ain't no slouch either and neither is Unicorn.
Papa gundam, never thought i would see you here
Gundam hathaway isn't the best but it's good enough to get you invested and wanting more
@@mattmaddogwheaton4724chars is the og but thunderbolt was on a new level
The attention to detail in this movie is striking. I paused at the point where Hathaway opens his book on botany and the content on the pages is actually about plants, not just gibberish. Then, the sound effects, OMG it is a maximum eargasm, especially with headphones. Then to top it up, the soundtracks by the Master, it's perfect.
The 'SO FAR' is doing a lot of carrying for this video, specially since Hathaway is meant to be a trilogy leaving some loose ends and even though it's visually beautiful, I found some stuff that are weird (specially the NIGHT shots) and because of it, I found the final battle a bit underwhelming.
As for the characters:
Hathaway is far more tolerable than he was in CCA (which is a pretty low bar)
Gigi is eh 🤷♂️
Kenneth is probably the best of the 3 because Junichi Suwabe is so damn charismatic
I do think it's a GOOD movie though, that's for sure.
Regardless, I do find it interesting to know other people's perspectives.
Junichi Suwabe is always GARRR.. whatever timeline or universe he exist
ya know if your TV is properly calibrated those night scenes are amazing. You might look into your settings menu
@@brooks5419 aight
@@Asphyx12 lol i wasnt replying to you, i only saw the parent comment. But glad you got something out of it too
What about the night shots was wierd? Hell even the realism was impressively conveyed far better than anything a 260mil dollar marvel movie can do in the past 3 years
13:08 JOLLIBEE reference 🐝 How'd that get in there? LMAO
that short edit at the end really got my emotions going a bit; using footage from the Xi/Penelope fight made me realise its more a fight based on ideals and trying to maintain them rather than just fighting for combat. well, at least thats whats going on on Hathaway's side of things.
Really well said and edited. Can't wait for part 2 and 3 of the trilogy!
I watched this before seeing any of the previous Gundam shows so I was confused overall. I have since rewatched this after seeing 0079, Char's counterattack, Zeta and Unicorn. Now, I too think this is the best so far, the overall feel and ambience is what I liked best and I can't wait to see the rest of what's to come. Thanks for a great insight, looking forward to more from the Gundam series, hopefully =)
In my experience, unusually weird dialogue in the U.C. is often due to the newtype's ability. It's like that's their natural way of conversing and the most basic ability of a newtype is understanding others
Edit : " newtype's conversation is extremely Straight "
I think the funniest part about Newtype speech being "weird" to me is that, I can't notice that its weird.
I see why people joke that being a newtype is space autism.
It's this crazy thing where they're reading your mind while you're reading their mind. It creates this feedback loop where two newtypes either fall in love or want to murder each other. There is no inbetween.
Can't wait for part 2! I don't even care about the long wait. If it's on the same level as the first movie, it will definitely be worth the wait!!
Welcome back! Wonderfully made!
Another thing that I feel like gets glossed over a lot is that, not only are you running in terror from the giant death machines, you're running in terror from what could become a nuclear bomb if hit in the reactor.
It’s so good! AND THE OPENING CREDITS ARE LIKE A BOND MOVIE IT’S SO GOOD.
Hey, I don't know who you are but this video it's amazing. The script, the transtitions and the last montage are truly incredible! Thanks for this piece of media.
Hail the algorithm for bringing me here. I love gundam too since I was a kid and it’s always great hearing video essays from others who enjoy it too
When I watch the movie I immediately fell in love with that one Mobile suit Penelope Gundam and I addicted to it
Thank you for this! You've articulated how I feel about this movie so well!
This movie fucking rules and jesus christ i hope they make the rest of this series. The fight scenes were some of the coolest in the whole franchise.
Aw man,I did not even notice why Hathaway froze up when the clown mask hijacker pointed the gun at him.....now I know
7:34 glad you mentioned that cuz i don’t think most people know that in CCA, hathaway was literally instructed to write his own final will during the war
Imagine being just a teenager and you’re being asked to write down your final words, and it was so nonchalant as well cuz the one telling him to do it even commented “add a piece of your hair for your mom”
I literally have to force myself not to rewatch the movie, I've already watched it 6 times and I only want to watch it again
There isn’t a lot of articulate commentary on the Gundam franchise on UA-cam outside the usual “Giant robot cool” or model kit review so this is an absolute breath of fresh air as someone who’s been a fan for uh…more than 2/3rds of my life at this point.
Hathaway is definitely in a league of its own in terms of Gundam movies. I’ve waited for a long time to see if the franchise was capable of something akin to an espionage thriller and it managed to achieve that so effortlessly. The amount of atmosphere, mood, and world building done on the first half of the film pays off so incredibly well on the back half. Really looking forward to see how the rest of the books are adapted.
The attention to detail was truly nothing like weve seen before from Gundams long history. The animators took the Davao scenes straight from real life which is accompanied with wonderfully fluid movement with such attention to such small details. However, the story and plot is not the most solid with some holes here and there but all in all, it is quite enjoyable as long as you dont latch on its deficiencies too much.
Because it's meant to be a trilogy lmao
That's why I have a problem with this 'Best Gundam Movie' (so far)
Felt like watching a Bond movie, this is Gundam's awareness that the young fans have aged to about 30's and 40's and would appreciate a mature take on the series. NOICE
I hope they can cover the holes and make this the start of new era high quality gundam
I heard they didn't actually cover explaining the whole teamkill incident being buried. (Original novel didn't have that issue because in Beltorchika's Children he didn't do that Chan and the woman Gunei/Glarv kill are the same woman)
The author made an explanation at 5:00 over the plot hole narrative reasoning and decision
This video is top tier. I never had a single clue about UC before watching this movie when it came out on Netflix. Thought it would go something like Seed or Wing where you can just watch it standalone. I was extremely confused but I knew deep down that I watched something special.
Already finished the original Gundam with Amuro and planning on finishing the rest before the next movie comes out. Thanks for reminding me through this video.
Great video. You did an amazing job describing what happened and the small bits of info that would get lost to people not familiar to the UC timeline. Video production was excellent as well.
Hathaways Flash was essentially the first thing I watched all the way through in the entirety of the Gundam franchise, since it was just a movie. I'm now an avid Gunpla builder and I'm currently going through the original UC era shows. I've finished 0079, Zeta, and have ZZ and Char's Counterattack to still finish and go through but I hadn't realized how much stuff is crammed in this movie that is a callback to them. Definitely looking forward to a rewatch once I get through everything else I need to... I also plan on watching all the side stuff as well in the UC if I can. Finished 0083 and that was really fun too.
universal century is back on the menu boys
that last edit is amazing, keep up the good work man
Bright wouldve put the whole earths gravity on that slap if he ever sees hathaway again after this shit lmao
This is by far the best review of Hathaway I've seen on UA-cam. Your thought really echo that of mine and watching it just makes me wanna see Hathaway again (already seen it like 10 times btw). Plus, great work on the motion graphics! I'll forgive you for using dub footage as well.
So I’m not going to lie to you at all. I’ve been a Gundam head since the age of 7 (am 30 now) and I never bothered watching MS GUNDAM, ZETA, DOUBLE ZETA, etc. I only ever watched CE shows but I always had an insane urge to want to build Penelope.
It was probably two weeks ago when this video was recommended to me and I went and watched Hathaway for the first time…. it is quite literally one of my favorite anime films of all time now and I have watched it three times! Since then I have gone back and watched all 42 episodes of mobile suit Gundam, all 50 of Zeta Gundam and I just started ZZ. Once I make it past Char’s Counter Attack I am going to watch Hathaway again just because of how in depth this video goes.
Amazing video. Seriously 🙏🙏👏👏
To be honest, the other Gundam movies are a mess…
Char’s Counter Attack is a mess that doesn’t make much sense and is praised for its mech fights and not story or characters
F91 is a mess, no arguments
NT is a brainless mech fight movie
00 Trailblazer is nowhere near the tv series
The other Gundam movies are just recuts of the TV series
I think most people will agree with you unless they are die-hard CCA fanboys. I love Hathaway too. Also, this was a beautiful video!
I agree Gundam movies are a pretty low bar tbh and if we're being honest this franchise, for the most part, is pretty MID
Char's counterattack is the single MOST OVERRATED medium in Gundam PERIOD
Lying trash alone lead off their statements with brain fart phrases like "To be honest."
As a fan of the more modern gundam series without any particular context to Gundam Hathaway; I still felt able to get into it very easily. Sure, there were things I didn't have context for but those didn't diminish my enjoyment of the movie at all, and until you mentioned things like Hathaway's background with the ocean, I hadn't so much as thought about them twice.
Old fans will see things hinted and be excited with the easter eggs, but newer fans (or people who just don't like the older gundam series, like myself) will generally think that the mentions are there simply to develop the character with more human traits.
Hathaway is a masterpiece either way, and you've done a great job with the video itself. Good analysis, excellent transitions.
If you absolutely don't want to watch the older gundam series, i'd recommend maybe watching the 0079 and zeta compilation trilogies, followed by chars counterattack. Less of a time sink, and you still get the main foundations for Hathaway, and with 0079 especially one of the most influential anime of all time.
Loved this movie, cannot wait for the rest of the movies to be made.
honestly if anyone hasnt read hathaways flash i will say go read it but be warned..... its some of the most heart wrenching and emotional shit i have read in gundam
It's funny that this movie was my introduction to the UC timeline a few years ago
I may have not followed all UC timeline, but after i saw the heavy atmosphere of the movie's theme it hook me up
The TV series are even darker. Namely the 2nd half of Zeta, ZZ and the entire Victory series.
@@MSZsama Darker as in?
Congratulation for this video, I saw it on my UA-cam suggestion and gave it a try, and it is a trully brillant one, from montage to script, I litteraly loved how you focused on the narrative of GHF and his characters developpements along the UC, it's a fresh approach to this movie, when a lot of videos are about the gorgeous visuals, it's something who lacked on UA-cam
Cheers from France !
Amazing work. A thorough review of the movie. For me, you put into words of what everything I thought 'made sense' in the movie. Exactly my thought I would say. And yes, you need to first have a significant amount of 'education' on UC Gundam history to put the storyline in place. Congratulations. Your new subscriber here.
It always surprises me when a high quality video has such little views. This one definitely earned a sub
this has shown incredible quality for a video just on a gundam movie, the research and time put into these videos are incredible its crazy how this channel has been undiscovered by more fans of the gundam series.
Unicorn established that a Newtype/Cyber Newtype may be possessed by "Part of" a deceased Newtype that failed to move on. I posit that Hathaway was possessed by Katz's simp side much as Full Frontal was by Char's emotions.
My favorite part of this movie is how everything is so beautiful, from character design to animation... Was not a bigfan of the two suits but overtime I kinda like it.
I hope they give a more context on the following movies about the reaction of noa and some cameo or flashback from quess.But I think its ok not to include them because the story revolves from noa ,gigi and kenneth
This movie is insanely good even outside it’s qualities as a gundam movie it’s a great film.
Mobile suit Gundam Hathaway is a god dam master piece
Great video. I loved the Hathaway adaptation and I can’t wait for the rest. My favorite scenes are when he goes full newtype ptsd and has flashbacks to Quess. I love that aspect of you have to know what has happened to know what’s going on now. I miss that in media. Your breakdown was superb without giving away too much. Well done!
15:33 I see what you did there...
2:45 is where I realized your situational awareness is Newtype level, where did you get such Sapience!?
Your oration is definitely more thorough and dispassionate than the standard intellectual~ideolgue.
May you forever be warmed by the light within The Human(e) Heart.
This gives me some hope to see an adaptation of "SENTINEL," and it would be amazing if they did it with the same attention to mechanical detail as "0083 Stardust Memory."
I wonder though, since you bring up the relationship of Bright and Hathaway if they're going to use some of the expanded canon of "UC" in the story going forward. It would add more weight to the conclusion of the story considering how the Federation leaders want to finish quelling the Laplace Incident, and the end the career of the Captain of all Gundam pilots.
Sentinel has zero female characters though (ALICE doesn't count.), that's a big no no in Japanese animations.
@@MSZsama Most likely after finishing with hathaway flash they'll go with crossbone, its the most requested gundam adaptation and it goes along the line of sunrise adapting the in-between char's counterattack and victory
I liked Iron Blooded Orphans it's the very first Gundam series that I watched. IDK why everyone hated it?
The video is nicely edited and very thought provoking.
I owned the Gundam Xi Uniqlo Shirt (the red one) and I'll watch that when the other two movies come either in Cinemas or Netflix
And when you said the Mobile Suits are wrecking havoc and killing civilians and pilots in a crossfire reminds me of 86, instead of giant humanoids, 86 gets spider tanks.
Cool edit and great review! Love it so much!
NGL I go back to watch clips of Hathaway's flash and end up watching it again. I think I've rewatched it like 6 or 7 times
Little bummed about not being able to see the gundams clearly. Lots of drama in this movie not so much fights. I think it’s great. Nice departure from the usual mech filled combat sequences.
The saddest part is that there isn't any news about the next Hathaway movie
The reason is because you clearly havent seen Gundam Thunderbot: December Sky
It's sad that in the current period we don't have much Mecha anime like Gundam series
At least Witch from Mercury looks promising
Because Mecha is niche
@@JoeSmithGOAT yea I like it that way we kinda have our own lil cult community
While I appreciate the quality of the animation and the realistic depiction of settings in political turmoil, the things that urk me about great Gundam animations like Char's Counterattack and Hathaway's Flash is how there are always some gifted emotional/selfish/childish girl who completely swings the narrative any way they like based on their whims. It's very annoying and distracting to see in otherwise very mature(for giant robot animations) stories. I don't understand why the creators feel the need to hinge significant portions of the fate of humanity on some child on a tantrum.
No. Gundam thunderbolt IS a masterPiece certified hood classic.
I came from Wing Serie but then I watch Gundam Universe Century In chronological order. It was like back in time till Hathaway. I really appreciate the origin story the graphic wasn't that good but now from Unicorn and especially Hathaway the graphic the music and the storytelling are way better It drags you into their emotion and reality. I watched it 4 times now and I still love it the cockpit in the mobile suits feels like u are in the cockpit first person.
Technically Origin is alt-UC.
Now then… Anyone heard news about the second part?
Disagree, thunderbolt is the best one for one major reason aside from the characters,music,animation. its actually new comer friendly you dont need any background knowledge for the movie its basically a ww2 movie in space while showing both sides of the war.
I'm hooked. Great job.
Fantastic essay and editing.
I agree that this movie is phenomenal in the way that it expects you to know prior events in the UC timeline, yet standalone, one can still enjoy it.
With so many IPs going dormant or crashing due to ineptitude, ego, etc, it's refreshing to see Gundam still offering good content.
when i first watch hataway on netflix, i gloss over most of the movie because i dont understand the meaning behind it. make sense because i never watch the previous movie or gundam universe as a whole, i just like the design of the character especially hathaway. But after watvhing your videos, it made me wanted to understand the movie more, and watched it again.
In truth Hathaway doesnt actually have much of a personal goal nor his plans serve some greater purpose. His main motivation in all of this basically simping, worse still he is simping for a person that no longer exist.
Quess chooses Char and that fueled Hathaway's inferiority complex. Char ultimately failed in his plan so by finishing what he had started, he can 1up Char and prove to Quess that he is better than him at his own game. (hence the whole Quess newtype flash scene and his internal monologue rejection of Amuro newtype ghost talk). That's his whole sthick basically.
In the beginning of the show newspaper clippings portraying Mafty as carrying on Char's will, and even in the taxi scene he put forth his plan to the taxi driver, to move humanity out to space exactly like Char did, but the taxi driver retort thats too far into the future for him to care about. Hathaway goes quiet and doesnt have an answer for this because in truth he is just parroting Char and didn't really think it through nor have any real substance to his plan. (additional point of note: throughout all this all he ever had was newtype flashes of Quess and Amuro telling him to stop, he doesn't even have any newtype conversations with Char. For a guy that says he is trying to complete Char's vision thats really telling in what Hathaway thinks of it and what he actually wants out of this)
His plans just convinently happen to involved taking out corrupt fed politician and that is just an unintended benefit that attracted plenty of liked minded individuals to his cause, innocent bystander be damned. Outwardly Mafty portrayed himself as a very strong wiled and confident individual strutting around like a person with a clear goal in mind willing to do whatever nesessary to see to his plan (cough-Char-cough) but internally Hathaway doesnt know what he is doing hence the back and forth between executing his plan or abandoning it midway after meeting Gigi.
Speaking of which, Gigi reminds him of Quess hence his wavering conviction and pondering on abandoning the entire project to run away with her. (the whole Mafty attacking the hotel sequence and Hathaway didnt stick to the intended plan instead running all over the place with Gigi). To begin with Quess herself has some questionable morality, her moral compass was off kiltered from the start willing to participate in mass genocide of entire earth population. Yet Hathaway still continues simping for her all these years unwilling to see the ugly side of her, goes to show how Hathaway weren't right in the head somewhere.
And as much as Bright werent in Hathaway's life, so too did Hathaway actively avoid his father while conveniently uses his name to obtain some privileges. And even if Bright werent there for him he still has his mom which is a far better upbringing than what most UC characters could ever had. Yet he still turns out the way he does, its all entirely his choice and no ones to fault but his own.
He is the protagonist of the show but he isn't the good nor even the bad guy in the traditional sense, its a story of a guy unable to move from the past and manifest it in the worse way possible.
not gonna lie, being able to watch another UC timeline these days like a fine gem.
it was a step up from others... the cinematography was good and it had lots going for it... but the chicken dragon gundam was cringe and so little action or realism in the fights etc... It felt like a robbery of time... this movie is like Hathaway's Blind Date or Pretty Woman Gundam edition
Can't tell you how surreal it was for me to find out more or less the entire movie took place in my country
I love this breakdown. I’m gonna check to see if you’ve done one for Origin. If you haven’t done Origin yet, I’d love to hear your take on it.
Visually yes, story wise it is terrible.
Here you had a character who actively fought against Char, and then suddenly he is following the same ideology Char was without ever acknowledging the hypocrisy
I Love your Channel
i love thosse big fat asses MS fighting scene...the sound and the effect of beam splashing....
masterpiece o.o
I was told that Hathaway movie 1 hasn't actually explained how it managed to happen in the mainline CCA timeline. Since the original novel is the sequal yo the Beltorchica's Children novel/manga where Hathaway does not get Possesed by the lingering Simpitude of Katz (like Full frontal was possessed by Char's resentment) and teamkill.
Those night battles where the whole scene is lit and colored by beam weapons are fucking gorgeous.
Huge Gundam fan and I clicked this video after marathoning some of the trailers and to my suprise I was treated to one of best put together videos on Gundam ever. The effort is incredible instant subscription ❤
I've learned my lesson from the Eva Rebuilds and just gonna wait this one out, because they still haven't even announced when they're planning on releasing the other two.
It stands alone IMHO. I would watch it!
Not going to lie, it leaves you craving more. I wouldn't even consider myself a Gundam fan having only seen the 08th MS Team and this hit some notes for me. Really looking forward to the next entry.
This movie really renforced what shit friends Amero had. One of them betrayed earth and the other killed his girlfriend... and then later betrayed earth.
Narrative was not as bad as folks claim. IBO is also are good show in it's own right as a Gundam AU. G Witch looks great after prologue. We have GBO2 and Gundam Evolution and Maxiboost and a new SD title. Doans Island etc. This franchise is blowing up. Gunpla sales are through the roof. Bright future pun intended. Banagher story is not over either where did he go with Mineva. Hathaway was okay left a lot to be desired hopefully the sequels pick up and lay more ground work. Also as a follow up to Unicorn Hathaway has less to explain. Banagher and Mineva seemingly failed and the sleeves earth forces conflict was a prelude to the Earthnoids rebellion the spacenoids war has left the earth in bad shape and its people are tired of the Earth govt we saw the corruption and excess with the Vist foundation and Earth govt. Private interest and Anaheim hold so much sway over geoploltics. Its ripped the Earth barren and instead of helping the situation they fell harder. Bright abandoned his family to fight the wars of a broken society. This will be a fun ride. Hopefully they get Kamille a small cameo as a doctor with Fa and their child. Would be an interesting idea to see Kamille being the father that Bright couldn't to walk away from the world for his family.
Hathaway is good. I'm not quite sure about 'Best Gundam movie (so far)' though
But it left a lot of loose ends which is understandable since its a movie trilogy
loved this video and your graphic design style. If you don't mind sharing, which typeface did you use for the poster that appears at 0:05?
till this day i always thought that Gigi was a forced character to adding a color to this movie, she literally had almost zero meaning and purpose to this story at all aside for reminiscent of Qeuss and delaying Hathaway journey to the hideout.... I would rather see Hathaway joined Gawman in the dogfight, i mean wow that fight really capture the danger and heaviness of MS...
it was the first though i realize it would be really saddning for a father 9:26
Next year we would be seeing the episodic format of the movie one.
Kinda curious on what you think about Witch from Mercury (hopefully we get a video on it hehe)
nice assessment of the movie! i love the use of nighttime setting and darkness in most of the important scenes, narratively and visually. people tend to forget that the director is also responsible for ergo proxy and genocidal organ, two of the prime examples of shadow and darkness usage in anime. i think it works tremendously.
although i have a criticism for the movie, and this is very minor. i think sometimes the movie can't just get quiet in certain scenes. some of them, imho, would've work if it has no music. i see this also happening in universal century entries starting with unicorn. i mean sawano's music is cool. but amount of silent moments is rather low, so it makes moments that should have bgm feel less dramatic.
but really, hathaway's flash part 1 is worth my time. it's awesome, and i can't wait for the 2nd and 3rd part. thanks for the amazing review, too! subscribed!
FUCK NO, cca is still the best gundam movie.
Damn I've watched this several times already and every time it transitions from Amuro scolding Hathaway to Möbius it gives me goosebumps
This video is absolutely great
