SZA Song Opens Mobile Suit Gundam Hathaway: The Sorcery of Nymph Circe
The upcoming theatrical anime feature film Mobile Suit Gundam Hathaway: The Sorcery of Nymph Circe touts SZA's "Snooze" as its opener.
Bandai Namco Filmworks announced that "Snooze" by global superstar SZA will serve as the opening theme for the upcoming film, MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM HATHAWAY The Sorcery of Nymph Circe. To mark the film's forthcoming theatrical release, a special trailer featuring "Snooze" has been unveiled on the official Gundam YouTube channel, GUNDAM CHANNEL INTL. The song's gentle melody and delicate vocals underscore the film's world and its characters' inner emotions, adding depth to the newly released footage.
MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM HATHAWAY The Sorcery of Nymph Circe is the next highly anticipated installment in the MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM HATHAWAY film series, which first premiered in theaters in Japan in 2021 and achieved major box office success. MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM HATHAWAY is regarded as one of the most emotionally intense human dramas in the Gundam franchise. The story centers on the protagonist, Hathaway Noa, leader of the Anti-Earth Federation Movement, "MAFTY," whose fate becomes entwined with that of the mysterious young woman, Gigi Andalucia, and Captain Kenneth Sleg, an officer in the Earth Federation Forces.
MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM HATHAWAY The Sorcery of Nymph Circe
The year is U.C.0105, twelve years after Char's Rebellion. "MAFTY" has begun resisting the Federation government's tyrannical rule by assassinating its high-ranking officials. Its leader is actually Hathaway Noa, the son of Bright Noa, who fought in the One Year War alongside Amuro Ray, the original villain of the Mobile Suit Gundam saga.
A girl named Gigi Andalusia, who displays uncanny powers, has reminded Hathaway of a past trauma. Though he is bewildered by her words, he prepares to carry out an air raid on the Adelaide conference, determined to fulfill MAFTY's goals and lay his own past to rest. Haunted by past trauma, Hathaway is drawn to the mysterious girl Gigi Andalucia, whose strange powers stir memories within him. While swayed by her cryptic words, he continues preparing for MAFTY's mission — the attack on the Adelaide Conference.
Meanwhile, Kenneth Sleg of the Federation Forces prepares a defense operation for the Adelaide Conference and a plan to eliminate MAFTY, when he is approached by Handley Yoxon of the Criminal Police Organization with a secret proposal.
As Hathaway and Kenneth pursue their respective goals, Gigi also sets off for Hong Kong to fulfill her own role. Cue the mobile suit fights!
