‘MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM HATHAWAY The Sorcery of Nymph Circe’ Tickets On Sale Now Ahead of U.S. Theatrical Debut!

Coming to theatres in U.S. on May 15!

Today, Bandai Namco Filmworks officially announced that tickets are officially on sale now for Mobile Suit Gundam Hathaway The Sorcery of Nymph Circe, arriving in U.S. theatres on Friday, May 15, with early screenings beginning Thursday, May 14. Fans can now reserve their seats to witness the next chapter of the Hathaway saga in North American theatres.

Commemorating the film’s U.S. debut, participating theater locations will offer fans a chance to receive 1 of 3 exclusive collectible cards, available while supplies last. Each card is inspired by the cutting-edge mobile suits featured in the film—highlighting the sleek, imposing designs of the story’s two central Gundams: the Xi Gundam and the RX-104FF Penelope.

The cards feature dynamic artwork showcasing key visual elements from the mobile suits. The three-card set offers collectors and fans a keepsake commemorating the latest installment of the Hathaway trilogy. The set offers fans a visually striking tribute to mechanical icons, including one inspired by one of the film’s intense battles between the main enemy pilots.

Following its successful release in Japan earlier this year, where it surpassed its predecessor with approximately 2.63 billion yen ($16.3 million USD) at the box office, The Sorcery of Nymph Circe continues the high-stakes story of Hathaway Noa and his resistance movement, MAFTY. As tensions escalate ahead of the Adelaide Conference, Hathaway faces impossible choices that will shape the Earth Federation’s future.

Directed by Shukou Murase and produced by Bandai Namco Filmworks’ Sunrise Animation Studios, the film features the powerful voice performance of Kensho Ono as Hathaway Noa. Audiences can expect stunning animation, intense mobile suit battles, and the emotional storytelling that has defined the Gundam legacy.

Tickets for Mobile Suit Gundam Hathaway: The Sorcery of Nymph Circe are available now for purchase on https://www.gundamhathawaytickets.com/ and through major ticketing platforms and participating theater websites.

GKIDS Acquires North American Rights to “TEKKONKINKREET” Releasing in a Brand New 4K Remaster

IN CELEBRATION OF ITS 20th ANNIVERSARY
FOR TWO NIGHTS ONLY ON MAY 31 AND JUNE 1

Tickets Are Now On Sale For the First-Ever Nationwide US Theatrical Release of the Japan Academy Prize-Winning Feature from STUDIO4°C

Based on Acclaimed Manga by Three-Time Eisner Award Winner Taiyo Matsumoto

TICKETS ON SALE NOW

GKIDS, the Academy Award®-winning producer and distributor of acclaimed and artist-driven animation from around the world, announced today it has acquired all rights for North America to TEKKONKINKREET, the award-winning 2006 feature directed by Michael Arias, and animated by STUDIO4°C. Tickets are on sale now, coming to theatres in an all-new 4K remaster in both its original Japanese language and English dub for two nights only on May 31 and June 1. GKIDS will also release a 4K UHD Blu-Ray and digital download for the new 4K Remaster later this year.

TEKKONKINKREET is animated by acclaimed Japanese animation house STUDIO4°C (All You Need is Kill, ChaO, Mind Game), based on the legendary Eisner Award-winning original manga by Taiyo Matsumoto. The film is the directorial debut of acclaimed filmmaker Michael Arias and went on to win the 2008 Japan Academy Film Prize for Animation of the Year. The cult-classic title also received the Ofuji Noburo Award (Best Film) at the 2006 Mainichi Film Awards, Best Original Story and Best Art Direction at the 2008 Tokyo Anime Awards, Golden Prize for Best Animated / Stop Motion Film at the 2007 Fantasia Festival, and more.

GKIDS and STUDIO4°C continue to strengthen their partnership with one another. The 4K Remaster and 20th anniversary theatrical release mark GKIDS’ third STUDIO4°C film of the year, following the sci-fi drama All You Need is Kill released in January and the upcoming romantic comedy ChaO coming to theatres on April 10th. GKIDS and STUDIO4°C have previously collaborated on acclaimed releases such as Mind Game and Children of the Sea.

“Tekkonkinkreet has been one of my favorite anime films since it was first released over 15 years ago,” said GKIDS President David Jesteadt. “The thrilling action scenes, heart-breaking and sensitive relationship between the two foster brothers, and extraordinary design and animation work have stood the test of time, and I’m excited that GKIDS can play a role in reintroducing the title to audiences old and new.”

Synopsis:

“Black, a boy who seeks to bend the city to his will through strength, and White, his innocent counterpart, are two orphaned street kids living in the slums of Treasure Town. When real estate developers threaten to transform Treasure Town into a massive theme park, its very existence is put at risk. Determined to protect both White and their city, Black takes on the yakuza and assassins, gradually losing his innocence as he confronts a dark manifestation within himself.

Featuring dynamic visuals from STUDIO4℃ (Mind Game) and based on the legendary manga by Taiyo Matsumoto, Tekkonkinkreet remains a beloved cult classic to this day. Set in a world that cannot escape change, it tells a story of unwavering love, complementary bonds, and a prayer that must never be lost. Now beautifully remastered in stunning 4K.”

Fill Your Appetite This Summer on HIDIVE with “The Forsaken Saintess and Her Foodie Road trip in Another World”

Highly Anticipated Gourmet, Slow-Life Isekai Series to Debut in July as Part of This Summer’s Exclusive Simulcast Line-Up from AMC Global Media’s Popular Anime Streaming Service

HOUSTON, TX — MAY 14, 2026 — Otherworldly food and fantasy arrive this summer with HIDIVE’s reveal today that the new adaptation The Forsaken Saintess and Her Foodie Road Trip in Another World will debut in July on the fast-growing anime streaming service from AMC Global Media. This highly anticipated gourmet, slow-life isekai series is based on the popular light novel series created by Yoneori and will stream exclusively on HIDIVE as part of its Summer 2026 simulcast season slate in both the U.S. and Canada as well as key overseas markets including the U.K., Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand. As part of today’s announcement that coincides with the global release of the first promotional video (“PV #1”) for The Forsaken Saintess and Her Foodie Road Trip in Another World, HIDIVE debuted the official English subtitled version of the trailer on YouTube.

“We’re thrilled to present The Forsaken Saintess and Her Foodie Road Trip in Another World — one of this summer’s most highly anticipated new shows — on HIDIVE as part of its slate of exclusive simulcast series premiering in July,” said John Ledford, President of HIDIVE. “Gourmet and slow-life isekai are two of the hottest genres in anime right now and The Forsaken Saintess and Her Foodie Road Trip in Another World combines both! The addition of this exciting adaptation exemplifies why fans look to our fast-growing, genre-spanning streaming service for exclusive access to first-run simulcasts of the best new anime each season.”

Late 20’s caregiver Rin Takanashi has been summoned as a saint, only to then be dumped alone in another world. Equipped with just her ridiculously overpowered god-like skills, Motor Home aka “Mochan” and Survival, she decides to indulge her love of solo camping and cooking in this strange new place. Thus begins Rin’s journey: one filled with gourmet cuisine and an array of wonderful companions along the way. Now, hop aboard Mochan and enjoy this fantasy world to its fullest!

The Forsaken Saintess and Her Foodie Road Trip in Another World is adapted from the now six-volume-long light novel series written by Yoneori and illustrated by Akane Nitou that originally launched in June 2019 and since been published by Kadokawa Shoten beginning in April 2020. The episodic series is directed by Atsushi Nigorikawa together with series composition by Takashi Aoshima, character design by Akane Nitou and Izumi Ishii and production by EMT Squared in association with Ankichi Kobo. Currently announced cast starring in the show includes Sora Tokui as Rin and Yuki On as Ville.
