#Mobile Suit Gundam Hathaway Anime Film Delayed Again, This Time to June 11

The Mobile Suit Gundam Hathaway anime film should have been out in theaters in Japan on May 21, but the delays continue for this one. Originally scheduled to open way back on July 23, 2020, Hathaway is now penciled in for a June 11 opening. 

Along with the change comes a message from Mafty, the anti-Earth terrorist organization led by Hathaway Noa’s alias, Mafty Navue Erin. It declares that, after enduring many setbacks, it will start activities against the Earth Federation soon.

The trilogy is based on Yoshiyuki Tomino’s Mobile Suit Gundam: Senkou no Hathaway / Hathaway’s Flash novel published for three volumes from Kadokawa Sneaker Bunko from 1989 to 1990. According to Sunrise producer Naohiro Ogata, while the novel was written as a sequel to Tomino’s 1988 novel Mobile Suit Gundam Char’s Counterattack – Beltorchika Children (based on his rejected first draft for the 1988 film Mobile Suit Gundam Char’s Counterattack), the upcoming anime will be produced as a sequel to the Char’s Counterattack anime film.
