Bubbleblabber’s Definitive Top Ten Adult Animation Films Of 2021 (International)
6) Mobile Suit Gundam: Hathaway (English Dub)
Mobile Suit Gundam: Hathaway is a fantastic film and I found myself smiling almost the entire time. Which is saying something because as far as mobile suit battles go (usually the reason to watch a Gundam series) they are few and far between. The movie has a pretty awesome opening segment that leaves a really strong first impression. It also has a message that resonates today which is interesting since it was first written thirty-two years ago. Hathaway thinks that humans are ruining the Earth and should move to space so Earth can heal for a time which is definitely a topic of discussion today. I felt like I had my favorite characters in the Gundam universe pretty much settled. After seeing this movie I’m not sure, Hathaway Noa is a really interesting character especially if you know his past from Char’s Counterattack.
There's got to be some kind of twist that's going to happen with this. I don't know if they're setting up an April Fool's joke now or what's going on, but it seems too strange that they'd suddenly reverse on doing a fourth and fifth season after the show was already renewed and they were even just talking about working on those seasons like a couple months ago or something. Or maybe the two episodes yet to release will secretly somehow each be like a "season" in themselves?
