Mobile Suit Gundam: Hathaway’s Flash
Best Anime 2020
Hathaway’s Flash is a series of novels that release over three decades ago in 1989. For years now it’s seemed impossible to adapt into anime, but Sunrise is taking that challenge on in 2020 with a 3-part film adaption.
Hathaway’s Flash takes place years after Char’s Counterattack and focuses on the son of Bright Noa, Hathaway Noa. Going by the name Mafty, Hathaway forms a terrorist group to combat the atrocities enacted by the Earth Federation, who are hunting down and deporting spacenoids.
Hathaway’s Flash is exciting for a few different reasons, the first of which is that the novels are generally loved as a strong continuation of the original Gundam story. For another it lets Sunrise once again return to the Universal Century with the techniques and technology of 2020.
Previously the Gundam: The Origin films were a fantastic retelling of the rise of Char, and if Hathaway’s Flash can live up to that same quality the films could be something special.
