>Question - Obviously with a series that has been around for as long as “Mobile Suit Gundam,” there is a lot of lore. What – if anything – do you need to know about “MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM HATHAWAY The Sorcery of Nymph Circe?”
>Answer - “MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM HATHAWAY The Sorcery of Nymph Circe” is directed by Shukou Murase, whose meticulous attention to detail is evident across every aspect of the film, from visuals and music to sound design. In particular, the dynamic mobile suit action and the beautifully rendered landscapes and graphics make this film highly accessible and enjoyable even as a first Gundam experience for new audiences.
>For viewers who wish to further deepen their enjoyment, the first chapter, “MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM HATHAWAY,” which was released in 2021 and became a worldwide hit, is currently available for streaming in North America on Netflix. We strongly recommend watching this first installment before experiencing “The Sorcery of Nymph Circe.”
>Additionally, Hathaway is a sequel of the story that began with “Mobile Suit Gundam Char’s Counterattack,” released in 1988 to widespread acclaim. For those with the time, watching Char’s Counterattack, “MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM HATHAWAY,” before “The Sorcery of Nymph Circe” will allow for a much deeper appreciation of the story of its protagonist, Hathaway Noa.
U.S. Cast:
Hathaway Noa: Caleb Yen
Gigi Andalucia: Megan Shipman
Kenneth Sleg: Aaron Phillips
Lane Aim: Kieran Walton
Gawman Nobile: Kevin Dorman
Kelia Dace: Erica Lindbeck
Iram Masam: Stephen Fu
Hundley Yeoksan: Dave Fennoy
Raymond Cain: Antonio Alvarez

That's just how it is, SEED Freedom also took its time to come in US.
GquuuuuuX was an exception. They had to hurry up because it would have been airing in few months. Apparently, Khara also used their Toei connections to release it faster than usual time taken by Shochiku.

What are you even trying to argue, they're right. HF is a character drama with minimal mobile suit stuff, even the additions they've made to Part 2 to add more are pretty token.
The only good mecha sequence in the entire thing so far (Davao) isn't even good because of the action.

Nothing suits ScreenX, it's a total meme format.
No native material exists for it so it fucks with the ratio of everything and needs cropping, since it's three separate screens rather than say a single curved one it has obvious splits in the image, the side screens are lower quality because they're not expected to be your focus, etc.
Even the 4dx stuff that shakes your chair and squirts water in your face has more value

Yeah I'm rewatching it so when I see Hath 2 with my friend I can answer any questions something that they might have as a nongundam fan. They're going to watch CCA before the two films but the first thing that sticks out is how little the set up is for Gigi. I instinctly get 'yeah it's just newtype shenanigans' but Hathaway and Kenneth you can go 'yeah army things' but Gigi almost doesn't fit into the plot even though it revolves around her. The second film gives you more insight into Gigi but who will watch the second just more information.

So I agree but they didn't show it in the first movie. I really think they should air these two together as a double function because while the first film doesn't really explain anything it's a lot more for a set up of 2. I felt like i would have to explain a lot more in the first film. I'm glad 2 is out so we can watch the first together and just go see the second in theaters right after. I think i'll have to explain about the reactors and some of the suit functions. I'll probably also need to explain the CCA scene if they don't want to watch it but i think CCA +hathaway+hathaway 2+ a gundam friend to ask questions is probably the way to go. I wonder if they'll include more CCA scenes or something in the third movie. Do i think that they should watch everything? you could probably watch the second film before watching the first hathaway movie as there is more characterization in the second film and treat the first movie like a flashback. Almost like watching zeta before 0079. The first film was in a weird weird spot but the second one out gives it a bit of leeway. telling someone you need to watch hundreds of hours of a show isn't feasible unless they really like the film they started with. it feels like a chore rather than a few hours to waste with a friend. That's my opinion on it as watching it for "how much does my friend actually need to know?"

I feel like they went overboard in giving EFF soldiers those undershirts. I actually saw more of them wearing that instead of the actual EFF uniform in the movie.
I guess they probably saw Zelenskyy wearing that everywhere he goes during the war in Ukraine that the designers became fond of it.
>>
>>23798463
>WTF happened to the designer?
He basically wants to design trendy fashion clothing, but is stuck making anime.
That's why the character designer remade everyone to make them fashionable rendy looking college kids and 20 year Olds. Notice how none of the main characters are ugly or even average looking? All of them could walk down the runway as a model
>>23798635
>I guess they probably saw Zelenskyy wearing that everywhere he goes during the war in Ukraine that the designers became fond of it.
I know you might be joking, but you are probably half right. Japanese citizens are very detached from the reality of the world and war. They don't understand that som ethings can be cringe (like wearing the same clothing on national TV for years and refusing to change clothes), and Japanese citizens just assume that's normal. Its entirely possible the character designer saw the Ukraine war on the news, saw Zelensky, and said "I wanna design characters that look that." Japan is detached like that.
If I recall, that how Kenneth's ethnicity was changed. The character designer gave an interview.
He didn't give a story reason or book for the change. Instead he basically said, "I want to put more brown people in the anime. Drawing white people is too boring. I want to use more variety of colors from my color pencils."
Fans and Defenders will scream about how nationalities and ethnicities don't exist in Gundam anymore blah blah blah. But of course Gigi must stay as a white hot blonde girl. That's not negotiable. She can't be Japanese or any other ethnicity. White girl only. Also Hathaway must also stay Japanese too. Because Gundam worships white girls and must have their Japanese protagonists get with the white girl!

You needed to turn off your phone and actually engage with the film. Yes with both eyes. The text is being coy and asking you to think about it as you watch. If you only noticed Jolibee product placement you probably missed something.
"Who is Mafty? Why is Mafty? Who is imitating Mafty and why? What even is a newtype? Is Hathaway jacking it in the shower to Gigi? What aspects of Char or Amuro map onto Hathaway or onto Lane Aim respectively?" Etc.

Okay I just watched the movie. I'm not sure if this is a complaint but I want to express my view on the final battle. English is not my first language so I hope I am conveying my thoughts well enough.
To me, the final battle didn't actually feel like a true battle. It felt like family or friends arguing with one another expressed through Gundam battle.
Xi Gundam and the Nu Gundam mobile armor kept shooting eachother. Dozens of missiles and beams were fired across the whole battlefield but they all missed. Lots of cockpit reaction shots and enotional frustration and yelling eachother's name. But no killing intent.
Even when Hathaway grabbed the mobile armor on the ground he didn't shoot the cockpit. Hathaway shot the arms off instead. Then when Lane had a clear shot, he wouldn't shoot to kill. This makes me question if they were really in a life or death battle.
There is a saying. They say a battle between masters only lasts a few moves. Any mistake leads to death.
But Hathaway and Lane Aim kept fighting for several minutes. They were dancing with eachother. It was more a spectacle than a fight. The attacks felt meaningless after a while. It ruined the momentum of the scene.
That was my one complaint with the final battle. There was no sense of "narrowly avoiding death" from each attack. Almost every hit was effortlessly dodged or blocked. It was like two brothers arguing with eachother and throwing fists. Expressing frustration but not trying to kill.
I hope you understand my meaning.

It doesn't help that Xi Gundam's rifle feels like a squirt gun. He unloaded like a 2 dozen shots directly into Nu Gundam and nothing happened. Plus Xi can't use any other weapons because the Director said they won't upgrade Xi Gundam for all the movies. Xi will remain with the same load out.

They are mostly not arguing with each other. Hathaway is going through a schizo episode and Lane is having his own 'fuck adults' rant.
Hathaway is a good pilot and a newtype, he dodged most of the shots but Lane is not at that level due to his lack of combat experience. Xi is also higher spec than Alyzeus, so this fight was one sided from the get go.
Hathaway also beam shot him up but Lane shed the flight form to bare MP Nu. Even that gets almost completely wrecked. Hathaway was on the verge of killing him before Gigi stepped in and saved his life.

I rewatched the battle again, and I could see Hathaway's tactics against the Alyzeus, at least until the CCA flashbacks, where things gets muddy.
To begin with, Hathaway and his gang are a guerilla force with limited resources and time, and a good chunk of Xi's cargo went unrecovered, that's why they couldn't afford to waste ammo. (Xi already spent a portion of it blowing up Gustavs)
Hathaway's strategy was to incapacitate the Alyzeus first before shooting at it because he knows it was a speedy boi and could easily dodge his beam rifle, so he used the Xi to toss the Alyzeus around and lured it within SAM range so it could get pelted by missiles.
Once he did all of that, Xi finally fired off a shot but the Alyzeus dodged it, and that made Hathaway so mad he started mag dumping on it. He did not shoot the arms off out of mercy, he did it to prevent any resistance once he unloads on it.
Hathaway was never in danger against Lane, the skill gap between them was too big. The only reason he went down in the end was because of Kenneth.

Different anon her but I got some questions too
>and a good chunk of Xi's cargo went unrecovered
Was this 100% that the items were lost? I thought that perhaps they could have recovered them with some boats, submarines, or even Xi Gundam itself diving. The end of the last movie seems to imply they lost a ton of important Xi cargo like spare rifles and shields. But this movie seems to have solved it. I thought maybe they recovered the lost items. Renting a submarine to dive, latching a cable onto it, and retracting the items with a boat is something the world has done for decades. If Hathaway can get access to a spaceship or rocket, then GM renting a sub seems trivial.
>so he used the Xi to toss the Alyzeus around and lured it within SAM range so it could get pelted by missiles.
How come the SAMs were so accurate but Alyzeus' missiles were pitifully inaccurate? The missiles vaguely went in Xi's direction but didn't even get close. And Alyzeus fired a lot of cluster homing missiles. Does the Minovsky drive generate some sort of Minovsky particle intefwrenxe.
>He did not shoot the arms off out of mercy, he did it to prevent any resistance once he unloads on it.
But why not just shoot the cockpit if he's already that close? Alyzeus doesn't have anti-beam coating since beams just melt through the armor and blow off it's arms. Amuro wouldn't have wasted time with slowly disabling Alyzeus. He would have landed a cockpit shot and moved on.

Was he actually hitting anything? There was so much smoke I couldn't tell if the animators were being cheap or if the Alyzeus was exploding.

Mafty were in a rush, because they knew reinforcements are coming in, also, they had shit to do somewhere else because if you remember, HF's entire plot took place in just a week or so. Another thing is that the feds put the whole area under surveillance immediately after the Xi recovery, which makes sending a recovery crew to it impossible.
>How come the SAMs were so accurate but Alyzeus' missiles were pitifully inaccurate?
That boils down to skill issue. We knew Hathaway is a newtype so that pretty much explains his side. So far, Lane has yet to exhibit those abilities and the second movie shows how reliant he is to AI assist, so his NT status at this point is debatable.
>But why not just shoot the cockpit if he's already that close?
Yeah, this one's hard to explain and if I'm in his place, I would also just shoot him down right in the cockpit too. I guess he was just so tilted at that point he became sadistic. He could've also just stabbed the Alyzeus in the cockpit in the end but he chose to slice it slowly.
>>23815317
>Was he actually hitting anything?
I think he hit all of it after he grabbed and tossed it. The fact that the MP Nu managed to survive that, feels very unrealistic to me to be honest.

>the Alyzeus is a freebie unit in the mobile game
>going through the freebie unit's missions, it's handing you upgrade materials, really intending you to upgrade it
>would love to upgrade a unit I like instead of this fat dopey looking thing, liked the Xi and Penelope but I just haven't even seen this thing in action yet
>feel really bad depriving it of its intended and deserved rewards, it hasn't even done anything wrong, so give it all the intended upgrades anyway
Is the Alyzeus is a friend, I don't really feel strongly one way or another about Lane other than that he's a good person

Has anyone noticed Xi Gundam uses the old ball joysticks? The same ball joysticks that Hathaway used on the Jegans from CCA. The first suit Hathaway trained on.Meanwhile everyone else uses the old regular stick joysticks.
Was this intentional? Like a way to show that Hathaway hasnt let go of the past? Or is that simply how Xi Gundam was designed? Or is there another reason why? Is it easier for for the Minovsky flight system?

>Supposedly Xi is the 'true' successor of Nu
>successor of Nu
That would be Narrative Gundam.
Xi Gundam is just some oversized steroid junky

>>23817760
Narrative was a test bed frame for tech intended for the Nu that was never meant to see active use but was forced into the field because it was the only thing available with a Psychoframe
It is to the Nu what the Alyszeus is to the Penelope
>>
>>
>>23817774
The idea of Xi being Nu's successor comes from pre-Unicorn times before they made the defining technology of the time.
It was the next main Gundam, even bigger and stronger than the Nu, which itself was already goddamned huge for a Gundam. And it marked the peak of that trend before the establishment of the Formula Project

Does Minovsky flight eliminate G-forces? Because the aerial battles are lacking a sense of "momentum". Hathaway isn't straining himself from pulling constant 12G turns to avoid missiles. He's just casually dodging. I think the Director overlooked this important aspect to dogfighting on Earth.

I assume most MS in this era have some sort of gyroscope built into the cockpit, which might help in dampening those Gs, because there are some scenes in the movie where the MS's orientation isn't consistent with the view inside.
>>
>>23819929
Not quite a gyro system, but the old English website mentioned this:
https://web.archive.org/web/20110220235145/http://www.gundamofficial.c om/worlds/uc/background/glossary_te chnology.html#linearfloatingseat
>linear floating seat
>A new type of pilot seat which becomes standard after the One Year War. In this arrangement, the seat is suspended in the center of the cockpit, supported by a linear arm which electromagnetically counters G-forces and impact shocks in order to protect the pilot.

oh kula arm yeah that makes sense

>>23819919
>I don't think Gundam has ever adhered consistently to the physics of piloting a MS.
0083 did it we had lots of scenes of Burning and Kou in their mobile suits straining against the G-forces. It got even worse inside the Dendrobium. Kou needed drugs to keep fighting because the strain was so intense.
