The English name is actually "The Sorcery of Nymph Circe".
GundamInfo actually revealed it during the announcement.

Was not expecting to see this today, feels like it's been forever since I saw the previous one.

It's already been four years, eh. Really looking forward to it!

Excellent news indeed. I was starting to get worried that this had been canned. The first movie was awesome... hopefully we won't have to wait too long to watch this one in the west...

Well, it’s about time! I don’t even think we had a Blu-Ray release of the first one. I hope this second one won’t just be locked up in streaming jail, too.

I figured it was about time this would be announced. Japan and AU travel restrictions cause of COVID really put a damper on this movie series. Director wanted to scout the IRL location like he did with movie 1 but couldn't til 2023 and by then we were already knees deep into Bamco's plan of 1 major Gundam entry per year leading up to 2029 so we had GWitch, Freedom and now Gquuux.

Well, it's about time!

And when are we getting our English 4K blu rays???

When all 3 are out?

This streaming only thing sucks... At least put it in the theater!

None of Hathaway's Flash lends itself to adaptation, the first film still worked out while being incredibly faithful to the book because Murase is pretty good

About time, I thought they abandoned this project, given how long it's been since the last one.

Hathaway isn't exactly my favorite character, ever since Char's Counterattack, but at least he's graduated from bratty to brooding.

Really great to see that this is being continued. As others have already said, there was a lot of fear in the fandom that this had been quietly cancelled.

Neither the source material nor this adaptation works as a story in any way but at least it looks interesting. Taking a full decade to adapt 3 light novels, not even proper books, is insane. Look forward to seeing Hathaway go full mask-off serial killer this time due to being a far-left terrorist. Basically Baader–Meinhof Gundam.
