Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch From Mercury - Anime Episode Discussion

[Kanon]

I'm sure this will quickly get fansubbed.

[Obelisk ze Tormentor]

Knowing such delay issue, some enthusiastic fansubbers will most probably be ready to do the episode as fast as humanly possible .

Trauma! Trauma in Part C!!!!

[Obelisk ze Tormentor]

Without spoiling....now both Suletta & Miorine know the taste of tomato ketchup

Spoiler for Broadcast ver spoilers:

- The animation was amazing - not only the fights, but also things like Sophie's expressions in the first scene. No wonder the production is under duress if they're trying to do Hathaway-level scenes on a TV schedule!
- That C part... In a way, it feels even worse than if Miorine had died. There's no easy coming back from something like that
- Jeturk-papa puts up a surprisingly good fight. Expecting now a prequel focusing on his ace pilot days
- In the end, for all that tension, all of our main guys (that we care about) are alive, so there's some peace of mind for the next 3 months. It feels like the gruesomeness level on the mob death scenes was turned up to compensate for that (the headshots etc)

I'm looking forward to G-Witch season 2 broadcasting alongside Birdie Wing 2 in the spring so we can have a double whammy of Bandai lesbians every week.

Michele Luio would be proud. Amuro Ray? Definitely not.

Damn, one hell of a way to end the season. Animation was fucking amazing too.

[ryllharu]

Not to even zero in on any specific events this episode, but this was the culmination of all the build up across the entire season for the combined cast.

Retrospectively looking at the previous episodes where "nothing of merit was happening," or that "they were just playing children's games" it should now be apparent how wrong those two statements are. If it wasn't direct foreshadowing, it was meticulous character development.

Spoiler for Just one actual point:

The climax of the episode and this season was Elnora convincing Suletta to step over that line onto the blood, and especially how casually she got her to do it.

[Illsteir]

That "Gain One, Gain Two" mantra is more or less an activation code for Suletta's brain washing like the set of words used by Hydra for the Winter Soldier in MCU.

So when the "mantra" is used, Suletta is closer to Cyber Newtypes like Rosamia Badam & Marida Cruz?

Gundam trauma is back, that's for sure.

Still lots of unanswered questions. Actually, barely anything was answered. Delling survives (?) but the romance gets squashed like a rotten tomato?

Quite the ending to the first cour.

[Router25]

Why do I also feel Prospera's helmet is some type of mind control device.

[Obelisk ze Tormentor]

We have yet another case of...

Spoiler for Episode 12 plot point:

Son killing his dad in MS battle. Last time we got was in Gundam 00 (if you know, you know). I'm sad mostly for Guel coz he just kept getting mental damage one after another 👀. He is a likable Jerid at this point.

[kuroyanagi]

Lots of new bits of foreshadowing, but this part about Delling was particularly interesting.

Spoiler for Delling:

It's implied there was a situation where he was forced to sacrifice Miorine's mom to survive. Miorine resented him for that, but it was actually something they had agreed on beforehand.

This closely mirrors what happened in the prologue to Nadim and Elnora. Both Elnora and Delling had to live with survivor's guilt.

I guess Delling was kept alive so we can have Delling+Miorine vs Prospera+Suletta as the main sides in season 2, as many have speculated.

Man, guess they decided to f*k Guel over once again. I didn't think they could do it; thought it was nothing but redemption from here("here" being working under alias), but I knew soon as daddy Jeterk flew solo, he'd somehow get killed by Guel.

As for the end, its def crazy how easy it was for Suletta to go from being afraid to kill, to killing with no hesitation or remorse. Honestly, I was ABSOLUTELY AMAZED by that transition. She could have easily not killed the guy, and it didn't seem like a "it happened to fast to think" kinda scenario; she just decided to completely obliterate the guy following her mother's example. Personally I think calling Suletta a murderer is too much, but I get that she's never seen someone killed right in front of her in her entire life. Her father more than likely is in the same boat(also responsible for killing), albeit, not doing the deed physically. Wonder if she'd react the same if Delling had to protect her by killing in front of her? Likely not.

I think the problem for Miorine isn't that Suletta splattered a guy into red paste, but the fact she acts like it was nothing, like she was just playing around, all smiles and sunshine...

[Kanon]

That was an amazing episode. Prospera's brainwashing is really incredible. One moment Suletta is horrified that her mother killed someone in front of her, and the next she crushes someone like a tomato without batting an eye. I can understand Miorine's reaction, seeing Suletta smiling innocently like nothing happened after she killed someone so brutally and is covered in his blood is definitely creepy. On the other hand, it really sucks this will most likely create another rift between them (a lasting one this time) when they had just worked through their misunderstanding.

When Vim went out in a mobile suit, it was indeed obvious he'd be killed by Guel. It's amazing how Guel went from complete jerk in the first episode to most likable guy in the cast. He didn't deserve this.

[Marina2]

Miorine will never see Sulletta and her tomato garden the same again........

Nika won't kill that guy to silence him right..?

And Guel...I feel sorry to you.
