“‘Gundam Hathaway’ Gets A 90s Anime Makeover In Fan Animation”
In a bold move, a fan animation has breathed new life into the Gundam Hathaway series by recreating it in the style of 1990s anime. The impressive project, undertaken by Space Boy, pays tribute to the original novels and stays true to its roots.
The reimagined visuals bring back nostalgic memories for fans of classic mecha anime, with a nod to the tone shading typical of 90s productions. Interestingly, this approach also serves as a commentary on how the story would have been adapted if Sunrise had decided to greenlight an anime adaptation at the time of the novels’ publication.
This 3D fan animation is remarkable for its ability to accurately portray the intricate designs of mobile suits like the Xi Gundam and Penelope, which were already incredibly complex. This level of detail has not been seen in modern adaptations, including the recent movie version, which opted for a more contemporary take on character design.
Space Boy’s work also warrants attention for its seamless blend of 3D visuals with clever shading techniques, creating an immersive viewing experience that would rival any production from the era.
Fans of Gundam Hathaway will be thrilled to know that this project is just the latest in a series of animated adaptations and reimaginings. The first movie can currently be streamed on Netflix, and the second installment has been announced for release later this winter.
In a recent video upload, Space Boy also showcased his take on the Messer mobile suits, which will no doubt delight fans of the franchise.
