Mobile Suit Gundam Narrative opened in Japanese theaters on November 30, ranking #4 in its first weekend in the box office.
The new project is based on the 11th Gundam Unicorn novel, Phoenix Hunting. First announced by Sunrise last April 2018, Gundam NT is set in the UC 0097 timeline of the Mobile Suit Gundam series. It is part of the “UC NexT 0100 Project” that is set to tackle the next 100 years in the Universal Century timeline. The movie picks up at the end of the Laplace Incident and the sealing away of the Unicorn Gundam and Banshee, two mobile suits that were deemed dangerous because of their great power. Two years later, however, a mobile suit long thought to be lost is back… the RX-0 Unicorn Gundam, now known as the Phenex.
Mobile Suit Gundam Narrative is directed by Shunichi Yoshizawa (Mobile Suit Gundam Thunderbolt, Gundam: Reconquista in G episode), with Harutoshi Fukui (Mobile Suit Gundam UC) writing the script. The film’s ending theme song, “Narrative”, is sung by Hiroyuki Sawano and LiSA.
