New Screening Formats for Mobile Suit Gundam: Flash of Hathaway: Witch of Circe
The latest news for anime fans is quite exciting as the SCREENX and ULTRA 4DX screenings for the movie Mobile Suit Gundam: Flash of Hathaway: Witch of Circe are officially scheduled to begin from April 3rd. This is actually a very big deal because it marks the very first time that any title in the massive Gundam franchise is being released in these specific high-tech formats. It seems the creators really want to give the audience a unique experience this time around.
What exactly are SCREENX and ULTRA 4DX?
For those who are wondering what the hype is all about, SCREENX is a special screening format that doesn't just use the front screen. It actually projects images onto the left and right walls of the theatre as well. This creates a 270-degree panoramic view, which means you can really immerse yourself in the story world. It’s perfect for a series like Mobile Suit Gundam: Flash of Hathaway where the scale of the battles is so huge.
On the other hand, ULTRA 4DX is even more intense because it combines the multi-screen visuals of SCREENX with the environmental effects of 4DX. So, you get the panoramic view along with moving seats, wind, and scents. These screenings will be available at 27 theaters across the country. However, if you want the full ULTRA 4DX experience, it is limited to only four specific locations:
- Grand Cinema Sunshine Ikebukuro in Tokyo
- 109 Cinemas Granberry Park
- Shizuoka Cinema Sunshine LaLaport Numazu
- Hyogo Earth Cinemas Himeji
Special Benefits and Stage Greetings
There is some more good news for the fans who go for these premium screenings. Starting from April 3rd, visitors will receive special limited-edition benefits. The bonus is a beautiful postcard that features a three-screen multi-projection shot of a very impressive scene from the main story. It’s a great collectible for anyone following the journey of Mobile Suit Gundam: Flash of Hathaway closely.
Adding to the excitement, a "Big Hit Thank You Stage Greeting" is planned for April 4th. The main voice cast, Kensho Ono (who plays Hathaway Noah) and Rena Ueda (who plays Gigi Andalusia), will be appearing live on stage. This event will take place at the TOHO Cinemas Ikebukuro SCREENX Theater. If you want to attend, you need to apply for the advance ticket lottery at Ticket Pia before the deadline, which is 11am on April 1st. Don't miss out if you are in Tokyo!
