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

So it looks like this is going to be split cour series with the second cour starting in April.

Is this the end of four cour Gundam series?

Definitely feels like this will be the central relationship of the series :).
Airing consecutively? Probably.

Well, GBF, Try & Re:Rise already proven that Gundam doesn't need 4 cours to tell a good story (& sell model kits).

There's also possibility that WFM can get a sequel series if it's successful and the original writer & director want to continue.

G-Witch simulcast postponed temporarily.

Possibly, but remember G-Reco only had two cours also and IBO that came after that had four course splits into two sections after that. IBO's second set of cours also was greenlite quite late in S1 to my understanding though I don't know whether that was ever confirmed.

When is it going to air simulacast again?

Same day as airing as far as I can remember.

Also I should elaborate that the annoucement only mentions Gundam Info's simulcast. Have not heard official news that Crunchyroll's is affected yet.

What we know so far:

So.....after watching eps 1, I just wanna say that THE YURI IS OFF THE CHARTS!!! 😆

Revolutionary Girl Utena vibes, eh? :D

Hmm, it's definitely a new unique feel to Gundam. Wasn't really expecting this from the prologue.

Official AMV 🙂

Gundam with Yuri...?

.....Look like I can jump from Lycoris Recoil to this.

Gundam Utena with an MC who resembles Loran Cehack (Turn-A Gundam). And that's not all the Gundam story elements that this episode paid homage to.

We have a space rescue at the beginning of the episode like The 08th MS Team and we also have MS duels where the winner is the one that wrecks the MS antennae much like the Gundam Fights in G Gundam where the winner is the one that crushes the head of the opponent Gundam (among other conditions).

And that tomato animation is straight from Shokugeki no Souma :heh:

And yes, yes yes, I know. The MS fights look excellent. Worthy of being the animation successor to Hathaway. Also (like Hathaway), they use CG mechs, but for the more mundane activities. When the fight starts, they switch to mostly handdrawn.

I'm trying to avoid big spoilers here for those who haven't watched the episode.

Gundam: Yuri from Mercury ;)

I'm still happy that Suletta's design is very much the merger of her parents. Her father's eyebrows, eyes, and skin tone, and her mother's facial bones and hair. It's a relatively minor continuity detail, but a nice one.

Crunchy is messing up the subtitle-timing for this episode? 🤔

It's ironic when free service (Ani-One) actually does better than paid service (Crunchy) :heh:.

Plus, Ani-One even has good subtitle for my language :)

It's not working in my country, I'm not using Crunchyroll either, so my only options are to wait for Gundam Info or pirate.

Speaking of Utena...(WFM spoiler alert)
