Bright Noa

はい、名前では、はい。

で、えっと、一番最初のシリーズにブライトノアっていうブライト艦長と言われる。名前なんとなくもしかしたら。殴ってなぜ悪いかっていう、なんかあの結構-

二度もぶたれた。

ぶった側の人です。

Yes

... no one can see them, but I can't see your eyes anymore.

Yes, and I cut off the sleeves of all of my shirts, uh-

Yes

Uh, and then when we get to some of the other shows like Gundam ZZ, F91, Turn A, we're gonna be doing a more abbreviated look at those shows, more focused on the history, and then maybe a couple of particular episodes.

Of course, you in the audience can watch however much or however little of it you want.

Um, but that's how we're gonna cover those other ones, but it's going to be very fun.

I'm covering the notes for most of the Gundam stuff this season, uh, because you did it last time whenever we did Weekly Suit Gundam, and I'm excited to go through and- And the other thing we learned is as you start trying to unpeel the history of Zeta Gundam, you inevitably learn about Double Zeta, Char's Counterattack, and F91, 'cause they were all made in this mad dash in the end of the '80s, early '90s.

And she's willing to kind of press him on it a bit to see what happens.

It would be funny if she was like just a big Bright Noah fan and just wanted to like get to know Bright.

Like kind of like at the beginning of Zeta with Camille, like, oh, that's Bright Noah, captain of the White Base.

Yeah.

It's

Yeah.

He is the voice of Bright Noah in everything starting from Gundam Unicorn when Bright's previous voice actor passed on.

Passed on, died.

Gundam Unicorn.

Yeah.

Uh, Hathaway Noa who is the, the son of Bright Noa who was the pilot of Amuro Ray's, um, essentially like stranded Earth Federation Force division throughout the original Gundam, right? Um-

Yeah.

sure

G- I mean let me ask you this.

Does Sweet Child Of Mine make sense as a theme song for Gundam Hathaway?

Uh, because of the Bright Noa, Hathaway, Noa connection and them being on the, the, the opposite sides of this revolutionary war right? Or not even revolutionary, like a guerrilla war.

It is supposed to be like narratively ironic, right? Sweet Child Of Mine.

None of these novels were adaptations, however loose, of animated material.

Set in UC-0105 and centered on Hathaway Noah, Captain Bright Noah's 24-year-old son, Mobile Suit Gundam Hathaway's Flash explores the aftermath of the Second Neozean War as an increasingly corrupt and stagnant Earth Federation combats a terrorist group of disaffected youths named Mafty.

Parsing Tomino's characteristically self-deprecating and idiosyncratic interviews can be difficult, but it's likely he saw this as an opportunity to expand the universal censure on his own terms without corporate interference.

I hoped it could stand as an original work, he remarks, not just a Gundam spinoff.
