#Mobile Suit Gundam Hathaway Anime Film Delayed by Two Weeks

With the third State of Emergency impacting entertainment facilities in various regions of Japan, including theaters, the latest film to be hit with a delay is Mobile Suit Gundam Hathaway. Previously set for a May 7 premiere, the first part is now scheduled for May 21. 

Last month, the official GundamInfo channel went live with a subtitled version of the second trailer: 

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.
