Alexandros senkou series#

The most beautiful part of the movie was the Battle of Davao. The characters move around like realistic human actors and not 2D big-eyed anime cartoon characters. CG is used for the Penelope sometimes but it is very clean and I had no problems with it. This movie transcends Gundam and mech anime. I generally think this movie is on par with weathering with you and demon slayer in terms of art. The city of Davao is beautiful and it really feels like the Philippines ( I lived there for 5 years so I can confirm). Way better than UC or NT which I saw in the theatre a few years ago. The fact that both factions have Gundam (Mafty has the Xi Gundam and the Feds have the Odysseus Gundam aka Penelope), shows that both sides have their own sense of justice and that neither side is the clear “hero”. In Gundam, the Gundam mobile suit ( giant robot ) is the symbol of justice and good and hope. The fact that there is no clear cut villain or hero is what makes this anime so realistic. They are both flawed and both have done good things and bad things. Neither Mafty nor the Earth Federation are perfect. Mafty only bombed the hotels and sure they killed civilians, but it is clearly portrayed that the Feds are far far worst. They carelessly fire many missiles at Mafty mobile suits, which sets many parts of the city of Davao ablaze. Additionally, during the battle of Davao, we see that the federation are far more less caring about the citizens of Davao. They use brutal man-hunters to kill or forcefully evict those who won’t obey them. The Earth Federation is an oppressive bloated regime which does not care about the earth’s environment and allows its own officials and politicians to live on earth while sending the poor back to space. So is Mafty evil and the Earth Federation good? No. Mafty is correct in that it wants equality, wants to preserve the earth’s environment for the future of humanity, and wants to purge corrupt brutal government officials, but they are terrorists who bomb hotels with innocent civilians (although they are aware of this and do apologize every so often). However, what’s great about this anime is how it’s not good vs evil. Considering the fact that this novel was written 30 years ago, it’s amazing how the topics this work deals with are more relevant than ever. Mafty wants to rid the world of corrupt politicians. The story is about a group of anti-government eco-terrorists called “Mafty” who want to purge the bloated Earth Federation government to “force every human into space to save the earth’s environment”.

Alexandros senkou series#

I’m in my early 20s and I judge all Gundam series pretty objectively according to the standards of their era) (Please note I’m not a boomer who worships the original Gundam just because it’s the original. have decided to give Hathaway’s Flash (yes the Japanese title is “Hathaway’s Flash” and not “Hathaway”) a 10/10 for the first time since the original Gundam. I gave UC a 7/10 and things like NT, 00, SEED something between 5 to 6 out of 10 because although they were sometimes enjoyable, they were disappointing and somewhat boring on some level. I generally rate Gundam series very harshly, for example I have only given a 10/10 to the original Gundam, and even rated Z 9/10. The only times I have are with the original Legend of the Galactic Heroes, original Gundam, Attack on Titan Season 3 part 2, and only a few other times. Hathaway befriends both Gigi and Federation colonel Kenneth Sleg, but his double life endangers them as the armed conflict between Mafty and the Federation comes to a head.Įdit: and also probably the most realistic one He adopts the alias 'Mafty Navue Erin' and commits acts of violence in revolt against the growing tyranny of the Federation.Īfter thwarting the hostile takeover of a plane by a terrorist group fraudulently claiming to be Mafty, Hathaway's secret identity is discovered by a young woman named Gigi Andalucia. Haunted by memories of Char's Rebellion, Hathaway leads a dissident faction of his own known as Mafty.

Although Char Aznable's rebellion against the neglectful Federation met its ultimate failure, his revolutionary philosophy of true freedom for all human beings lives on.ĭespite being the son of a famous Federation commander, Hathaway Noa embodies both the undying loyalty of soldier Amuro Ray and the militant passion of rebel leader Char Aznable. The Earth Federation keeps a militaristic hold on the planet and its surrounding space colonies. Thanks to the sacrifices of war heroes like Amuro Ray, the Universal Century's 105th year sees an era of hard-won but short-lived peace.
