Finally. Looks a little rough, but they’ll probably fix that

I’m pretty sure it’s just rough test shots, the last time around they had some stuff to show that they fixed up a little and I’m hoping that’s what they’ll do here

hopefully, you never know until it’s finished, but I really liked the first movie

Eh... it should be pretty damn difficult for Bandai Namco Filmworks to screw up Hathaway's Flash Part II.

After all, Hathaway's Flash is an adaptation of the vintage light novel by Yoshiyuki Tomino himself that was penned at the peak of the Universal Century.  This isn't some half-assed fanservice-a-thon with an inconsequential plot like Unicorn or Phenix Hunt.  This is a story written back when Gundam had a soul and a message.

It should be good, but there’s always a way to screw things up

So between witches from Mercury and sorcery is "Gundam" becoming a magical girl show? 😄

They’ve just done time travel/ multiverse, next up is fantasy or stuck in a video game

Well, SD Gundams with original stories are all basically fantasy already. Build Divers already had a dude stuck in the game, although that was somehow linked to a real alien planet.

The next thing they seem to be pushing for, with a kit to accompany the launch, but don't have the balls to commit to animating, is the new Gundam Eight manga. Seems like it's some sort of post (alien invasion?) apocalypse survival thing. Something about the last 258 humans on earth using the lone Gundam to survive, and it looks like an ugly AF unpainted tryhard kit bash of conflicting geometry and a lot of pla plates. Since I have no hope of the mechs looking good, I'm hoping it's at least really about aliens, and they don't show up in humanoid mecha, or turn out to be space humans... It would be great if they go all in with the desolate space horror, and use ugly space monsters, since the gimmick is that the human head count is finite. Last thing I want to see is a kitbashed pla plate Zaku with a Char clone inside.

Maybe if it doesn't suck, they will animate it.

Just because there’s a manga doesn’t mean that we get a show, even if there’s a kit. That particular kit is also a web exclusive rather than a standard release making it more likely to be looked over. Not saying they won’t ever do it, but if they were doing an anime, they more than likely would do a standard release. There have been a few others like the one from double fake or the recent g-line kits that also came from a manga, but are also web exclusive.( by the way, those G-Line kits are really great and totally worth getting and probably would do really well as standard releases.) but I really doubt they’re gonna give them an anime anytime soon. I wouldn’t mind being wrong in some cases though

Not to mention the Nobel Gundam in Mobile Fighter G Gundam already totally looks the part of a magical girl-themed Gundam since its motif is sailor fuku... so much so that even the Gundam franchise itself has joked that it looks like Sailor Moon, and the high-mobility version from the manga is acknowledged to be based on Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon S.

Woof... yeah, that Gundam ain't winning any beauty contests.
