SZA for the opening theme of the second Gundam Hathaway anime film
Read...
The second anime film in the Gundam Hathaway franchise finally hits theaters five years after the first. Below, we offer you a new promo featuring the new opening theme.
This is the second film in the animated trilogy that adapts the light novel of the same name by Yoshiyuki Tomino, set in the Universal Century.
Hathaway Noa, still tormented by his past actions, joins the terrorist organization Mafty with the name of "Mafty Navue Erin". The organization fights against the government of the Earth Federation and has come into possession of the very powerful Gundam prototype, of which Hathaway will become the pilot. Mafty tries to attack, with the use of the Gundam, a meeting of the most important members of the Federation government, to force them to reject a measure that would have further strengthened their power.
The staff of the first film has been confirmed, with the direction entrusted to Shukou Murase (his career has often crossed, as animation director, that of the Gundam franchise). The task of translating Tomino's story into a screenplay was entrusted to Yasuyuki Muto (Gundam Unicorn, Afro samurai: Resurrection, Deadman Wonderland), while to reproduce the original character designs by Haruhiko Mikimoto, Pablo Uchida, Naoyuki Onda and Shigeki Kuhara were called. Mecha design instead is by Hajime Katoki, Kimitoshi Yamane, Seiichi Nakatani and Nobuhiro Genba and the music is by Hiroyuki Sawano.

Here's the opening, featuring the song "Snooze" by New Jersey singer-songwriter SZA, and the poster:
