#Subtitle
_Amazing action scenes. If only Sunrise stuck to serious shows instead of trying to make trashy characters and plot that "appeal to current anime fans"._
#Subtitle 2
_I might enjoy this if I didn't have any expectations. But after the prologue and first episode, I was expecting yuri and in…
Read full review on AniList →In myths, Witches eat kids, y'know?
Gundam has to be one of the more reliable shows for me to fall back on. Rarely do you ever get get disappointed by what it offers, and the few times that you do you still have something positive to take away from it. Stardust Memory, Wing and Build Divers have so far been the only ones to let me dow…
Read full review on AniList →G-Witch builds upon a solid foundation to craft a bewitching show for a new generation of fans
~~~**Prior to the airing of the show proper, a prologue was released. I’ve decided to review the show and prologue separately. [My review](https://anilist.co/review/18388) of the prologue will make my thoughts on the show clearer**~~~

Read full review on AniList →Yuri in Space? And it's Gundam?
~~~Kidou Senshi Gundam, being one of the oldest franchises in the anime industry, is frequently overlooked by a lot of anime viewers, especially new ones who are getting into anime, as they don't want to watch it because of how wide the franchise is or they don't know where to start from, which is u…

Read full review on AniList →Carrying on the legacy in more ways than you'd think.
Thanks to my experience with both the franchise and other anime in general, I’ll be talking from hopefully a different perspective from most people and even fans.
WFM is the most recent alternate universe entry in one of anime’s most integral franchises. Suffice to say, it carries on the legacy of…
Read full review on AniList →G-Witch Review- Lesbians... IN SPACE!
I think that first and foremost, this series does a great job at not alienating the viewer if this series is your first entry into Mobile Suit Gundam, as it was for me. Everything, even the heavy lore stuff, was pretty accessible and easy to interpret... at first. However, like most of my favorite a…
Read full review on AniList →Feeling Scammed, But Not In The Worst Way?
This was my first time watching a Gundam anime, and I feel like I have been bamboozled. Why, you ask? Because the prologue showed quite the dark space story that had me quite excited for what the series would bring. Instead, this show took place in an academy, and had all your academia tropes in the…
Read full review on AniList →Despite the high-flying visuals, G-Witch is a pedestrian spinoff that fails to free itself from its inspiration.
Queerbaiting criticism of anime often gets backlash from people who have had anime with complete representation for their whole lives. Heroes, supporting characters, romances, sexual relationships. You can live vicariously the fantasies of heroism, power, violence, love, harems, and much more. Film,…
Read full review on AniList →G-Witch continues in IBO's stead to be insecure about its own identity as a Gundam entry
Please actually read this before downvoting me, thank you
Ah yes, Gundam. The greatest franchise nobody wants to watch. The mythical and distant "generic mecha" anime that everyone scapegoats on Twitter and Reddit. I absolutely love this franchise for all it's worth. I initially didn't think I wou…
Read full review on AniList →Sunrise took a big risk with G-Witch, and while not without its flaws, brought new life into a stagnant franchise.
(This review covers seasons one and two)
Gundam has never been high on my priority list when it comes to anime. To date, I've only seen _Gundam X, War In The Pocket_, and both seasons of 00 (Excluding the movie), though as of today, I'm adding _Gundam: The Witch From Mercury_ to this list. The reas…
Read full review on AniList →A weaker modern Gundam. Watch G Reconguista instead, or start from 0079 is you really want to see Gundam.
Though the finale of this anime took a violent turn that exploded on the internet, it is normal to those of us who have watched Tomino's Gundam entries. It's clear why this anime attracted a lot of people, and why discussing this anime online is almost unbearable. For one, it took from Revolutionary…
Read full review on AniList →An interesting variation on Gundam that is far too vague in its worldbuilding and gives only lip service to its themes
Witch From Mercury attempts to depart from Gundam's usual plot and themes about fighting a war to focus on the relationship between war and capitalism. Sadly, Mobile Suit Gundam: Military Industrial Complex this is not. While there are attempts to integrate themes subtly and organically beneath the…

__Disclaimer: I love anime, and almost exclusively enjoy what I watch. This will be a very positive review, and you can of course check out the rest of my relentless positivity [here](https://anilist.co/user/tokaidesu/reviews)!__

Read full review on AniList →Gundam for the world we inhabit.
This is a review of both seasons taken as a single piece. It's one continuous story and is best looked at as a whole.
It has been a very long time since I have enjoyed anything as consistently or as viscerally as Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury. It is a piece of work that builds on the l…
Read full review on AniList →Season 1 is nothing special, but Season 2 does not pump the brakes AT ALL and it's amazing (and makes Season 1 better).
In order to talk about Season 1 of Witch from Mercury, we have to get Season 2 involved. That’s because Season 1 actually didn’t grab me and had me wondering where Witch from Mercury’s great reputation came from. However, after watching Season 2, I realized that pretty much all of the things in Seas…
