Hathaway's Flash is a pretty great movie, you should watch it. If you already did, watch it again. Bless Tomino. Praise Sunrise.

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.

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.
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!!
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.
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

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.

Really well said and edited. Can't wait for part 2 and 3 of the trilogy!
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.
Welcome back! Wonderfully made!
This is by far the best review of Hathaway I've seen on KZread. 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.
Aw man,I did not even notice why Hathaway froze up when the clown mask hijacker pointed the gun at him.....now I know
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!
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
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.
this channel will blow up, you deserve 1M with this quality
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 ❤
Thank you for this! You've articulated how I feel about this movie so well!
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.
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.
First of all... what an AMAZING review talking about Gundam HATHAWAY, the editing it's nuts. And the last 48 seconds gave me literally chills when I heard Möbius playing in the background. It makes me want to see the movie again. This was my first approaching to the franchise and I knew that I had to do some digging about things that I couldn't get clear while watching the movie, but despite that... I was shocked about the bombastic movie I was watching, can 't wait to see the upcoming ones.
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.
that last edit is amazing, keep up the good work man
Incredible editing. I've been taking a break from Gundam, but I'll definitely watch this movie.
The best review of the move I've seen so far Good Work!
Cool edit and great review! Love it so much!

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.
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 "

Congratulation for this video, I saw it on my KZread 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 KZread Cheers from France !
Damn, you make me want to rewatch it a third time, this review is definitely a good watch.
what a banger video, thank you for giving me goosebumps.
It always surprises me when a high quality video has such little views. This one definitely earned a sub
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.
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
Fantastic video! By far the best Gundam movie yet, can't wait to see how they adapt the rest of the novels.
There isn’t a lot of articulate commentary on the Gundam franchise on KZread 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.
I'm hooked. Great job.
I like your review, full of thought and passion.
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.
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.

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
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.
You've got yourself a sub. Nicely done.
Wow that some some spectacular production values on your end as well! I watched this movie as my very first look into Gundam and was totally lost and I thought it was just a bad movie. Then i went Unicorn then 0079 and have kept digging deeper and now rewatching it after learning more about the Universal Century it certainly hits different.
13:08 JOLLIBEE reference 🐝 How'd that get in there? LMAO
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.

wonderful video! I enjoyed Hathaway very much. it's the kind of movie that I like, so listening to you also spread the love and sharing tidbits is so fun to listen to. 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.
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”
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 🙏🙏👏👏

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.
Hathaway gundam is the most beautiful and aesthetic created visual i have ever seen
Damn I've watched this several times already and every time it transitions from Amuro scolding Hathaway to Möbius it gives me goosebumps
This is a brilliant video.
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.
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
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 KZreadrs 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 KZreadrs 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 KZreadr gives an amazing analysis of what a real anti war story should be kzread.info/dash/bejne/q5pkqZSGgKWribA.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.

not gonna lie, being able to watch another UC timeline these days like a fine gem.
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.
My god what a good video
Gundam is at its best when the tragedy and destruction of war is on full display while a few of the characters still maintain their optimism and humanity in the face of it. That’s why unicorn’s best scene was everything involving the zeon remnants fight in Australia and the mobile armor with it.
Those night battles where the whole scene is lit and colored by beam weapons are fucking gorgeous.
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
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?
Awesome synopsis. 👌
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!
Beautiful take!
