Update: Due to the current circumstances in the world, the release of Hathaway’s Flash has been postponed without a new date. This will be updated as soon as a new date is announced.

Meaning to post this as soon as it came out, but it’s never too late to get hyped up about the long awaited anime film adaptation of the Hathaway’s Flash novel. Get ready for the feels!
And there is still time. The original announcement trailer came out a full year ago, with a then-tentative window of Winter 2020. Hathaway will be released on July 23rd, 2020.
Got excited when I heard about the new Pokémon webseries, Twilight Wings. The first episode features Leon and Chairman Rose, but it’s so short at only 6 minutes! Who else thinks these should be full length episodes? And when can I expect more?!
