      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.

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.

This movie did a fantastic job of showing them almost as Kaiju-esque monsters terrorizing everything around.

    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.

    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.

    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

    It's cool the movie landed so well with you. I was really impressed with this movie. I agree with your assessment about it being dark - it being part 1, makes some sense they'd want to hide things a bit, because the later movies (presumably) will be showing us these things to their fullest/at their best. The whole battle scene above the city was fantastic, finally things are getting a little more relatable. I've always loved the story of UC but *this story* in particular always stood out to me, and with the way this movie went I'm really excited to see how they show us the rest of it. It's real tragic! I hope they nail it, I think they will.

    There isn’t a lot of articulate commentary on the Gundam franchise on CZcams 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.

    Not gonna lie, this is what got me into gundam. I had tried before to get into the U.C. before but I was running into a wall. When I saw this film I had nothing but a rough context based on clips, wiki surfing and the like, and I was floored. The characters, the visuals, there was a visceral feeling the entire time. It gave me something I could hold to when I dove into the rest of the UC. Now I’m a fan for good.

      This was literally me. When I watched G Hathaway, I had never managed to get into gundam. A year later and I've watched this movie close to ten times, watched a lot of the entries, have gotten into gunplas (just finished my xi gundam today). I've always loved the idea of mechas but I had never found something to fullfill that, this movie scratched that itch in the animation part while Armored core 6 did it for games

Also, I am extremely curious why you are disappointed in ibo. I know a lot of people were especially disappointed in season 2 but I've come to embrace it from the different approach they had compared to the usual endings.

    I love this movie, I haven't watched ANYTHING Gundam related but caught up on some essential story threads as a primer. The visuals, the motifs, the OST.. All of it, it reached deep and resonated in my soul and gut. It is such a movie I find difficult to describe other than it taps into the core of my very being.
    Gigi alone was fantastic, the whole happenstance union was bittersweet and grounded.

  • @iswara84

    Thank you for your insight about this movie. Just watched it. This name has stuck in my head for a long time as Chan's murder over Quess. Not that favourite character since then. Until I saw Amuro flashing in his thought at the final part of this movie, I realised I have misunderstanding this whole movie until I saw your videos. That void is filled after some many years (char's counterattack). Finally some follow up on this character's ark. But somehow he is still managed to attract weird complex female character, Quess now Gigi. 😅
    Now I am hype for the next movie.

  • @metalgear0945

    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!

  • @CoreVin975

    I first watched this film on my plane back to my home town. Even on my small phone (Which I'll admit did limit the experience) I felt so giddy watching the film, and it was the most fun I had and investment I had in a movie for a long time. And I didn't even read the book series nor did I watch zeta Gundam. And I barley watched Chars Counterattack on the plane to the vacation spot.
    The film had some of the best characters I had in all honesty ever seen in fiction in quite a while. I was so invested in where the story would take them. They felt like real people that I could empathize with, that felt alive to me, and that even I could relate to, to a certain degree. This movie literally reached film level quality of movies like the recent Dennie Villeneuve's D U N E, Top Gun Maverick, and The Batman. all three films that might be viewed through my eyes as some of the best movies ever made in the past five years. A this movie came out before each, and now it retains the spot of being not just the best in the last five years, but one of the best movies I have ever seen.
    I can't describe to you how much I love this film. The animation, the story, the characters, the action, the soundtrack. . . . . .Oh MY GOD the soundtrack. Heck, when typing this, I suddenly had the opinion that Martin Scorsese might even be proud of the film if he watched it. I don't know why, but lately I've come to like characters who are incredibly stoic or who have a great deal of trama and regret. Like the latest version of Bruce Wayne, or Macerick, or Paul Attreides And Hathaway is one of them. He is just so interesting in the sense that he just provides so much mystery for me to be invested in. Along with the other characters who I found a deep interest in such as Gigi. I might be a little weirded out by Kenneth slegg though, but he is still likable.
    I love the action and the designs of the mobile suits because they feel so real. They don't feel like they can move at the speed of light like the unicorn or vidar, but instead feel like real machines that look like tanks with their bulkyness. Almost like people are piloting giant knights or Giant Samurai. Even then they just feel like monsters at some points, like the battle in the city park. When I first watched that scene my mouth was open the entire time of that sequence. Because I was just in awe and I felt like I was threatened. You can feel the terror and fear in Gigi's screams as amunition is being blown above the two of them, and as the medal of the mobile suits clash together. It honesty left me kinda scared even to me. And this was all on the discomfort of a plane with the air pressure on your ears and in the uncomfortable seat. And yet it was like I was being sucked into another universe, like I was there with every character.
    Percs and love to the people who made this masterpiece of a movie. Unfortunately I have grown from loving Gundam to liking and sometimes being downright disappointed in it or even hating it at times. There would be times where I watched it and I just felt as if it was very hypocritical about it's anti war message. It didn't feel like it had the duality that alot of gundam CZcamsrs mistakenly say it has with it's characters. Even in the original series I never got the sense that what tomino was trying to tell me was that war was the villain like CZcamsrs say that gundam is trying to say. I got the feeling that he was trying to tell me that the zeons we're the "villains" and the Gundam was the "hero". But in reality there are no heros or villains in war. It felt like the series was being biase towards one side. However in war, concluding that one side is evil and the other is good, is a faulty one. It's a mindset that both the Nazis had, and the Americans had towards both sides. The myth that, "If we just defeat the enemy side then we will solve the world's problems" or "If we just end this war, then we will make the world better", was the vibe I was getting. Not the vibe that the show was showing duality between peoples, and showing that War is the true antagonist, not the enemy side. This is what I mean, this CZcamsr gives an amazing analysis of what a real anti war story should be czcams.com/video/yf0G2MPBEYM/video.html. The only truly anti war Gundam series that I felt was authentic in it's messaging was Gundam 0080 war in the pocket. Which was also an amazing series. It involved good people fighting against other good people, in a conflict that shows that War doesn't just kill people, it tares apart relationships, and ruins the potential that could have been between the love between people. The dynamic between Bernie, Alfred, and Chris is the perfect example.
    This film however is still a movie I deeply love, and cherish. It actually had a compelling duality between the two sides. No side is entirely good, or entirely evil. Instead what is truly bad is the war that affects every citizen, the war that scarred Hathaway for life, and the violence that terrified Gigi. It's one the reasons I still watch Gundam from time to time. Thank you so much Tomino. I think this is your best work of fiction yet. And I am glad that it was made into one of the best films ever made in my opinion.

    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 🙏🙏👏👏

    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.
