Gundam Discussion - The Witch from Mercury: Witches in Spaaaaaace

Big theory going around

Spoiler: show

That Suletta didn't get pep talked into being psycho, instead that Prospera spent a much longer time pep talking her into being normal before the series. This is her true personality.

I figured I was finally over IBO to give this a shot. I watched the prologue. Life is pain.

Happy Birthday... to you...

Episode 6:

There is only pain. Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday~

Episode 11:

Spoiler: show

It finally hit me that Suletta isn't Eri, and now I'm starting to have an awful feeling as to why Aerial seems to be sentient...

As an aside, this episode cemented to me the fact that Suletta and Minorie are the best voiced characters (watching subbed) out of any Gundam series I've seen. Oh well, one more to go...

Spoiler: show

Happy birthday...

Ok, I finished the season.

Spoiler: show

Oh lawd what'd they do to that precious cinnamon bun? Holy shit. It's like they compressed all the violence of a typical Gundam half-season into one episode.GIRL TURNED A MAN INTO PASTE AND HELD OUT HER GORY HAND TO HER BRIDE-TO-BE WITH A SMILE ON HER FACE!

Dread it... Run from it... Gundam arrives all the same. Time cry in a corner while waiting for the next season in typical Gundam fashion...

Honestly I wasn't really sold on the tone of this show until that season finale, goodness gracious that's what I've been waiting for the entire time. That ending too, oomphh

We're back to school..?

[Elcura]

This is 50 episodes right? I guess there's still time to get out of school but holy shit I laughed when it was like nothing changed.

[Serra]

I don't think we've got a confirmation of that yet. They only announced the second season at the end of the first.

[Vaspinne]

I think everyone saw this plot point coming but that still didn't make it any less of a gut punch, damn

Yeah, they definitely aren't sticking with the 'kids going to school all happily' theme lol.

I was on the fence about the ED theme at first, but fuck they are using it so well to really put a punctuation mark at the end of episodes. This week's episode was great

[Qalbert]

i really like the ED but I could see it bothering some people for sure

Ohh boy, the end on that last episode felt pretty painful. Suletta can't win right now with the way her mother positioned her in life.

Finale thoughts:

Spoiler: show

That ending was way happier than I was expecting. Did anyone die in it? Is it a reverse-Gundam ending..?

I enjoyed it for what it was, and happy Suletta and Miorine (and seemingly everyone?) got a happy ending, but feels like a lot of potential was wasted. As a whole, I'd say the series did a really good job of building the foundation for these interesting plots and sub-plots, but then there wasn't time to really do much with most of that potential and everything was tied up too quickly and with too neat a bow. Definitely wish the series had been longer -- the second half, especially the final few episodes, went way too fast. I don't know if there was enough for another season, but even another two episodes could have helped the pacing.

I do really love the Aerial design though and hope they release an MG eventually.

Also, there's this:


I look forward to buying my third MG iteration of Freedom.

Ooh, is it over? Time to binge the past ten episodes or so. And damn at that Seed announcement. At long last? Cannot wait.
