        It wasn’t a doujin, it was an officially published series of comics between runs that showed what the meisters were doing in between S1 and S2 for Setsuna, Tieria, and Allelujah, and what they were doing between S2 and the movie for Lyle. They’re out there somewhere translated.

            You’ve never even read it. It’s not just Tieria creaming over Lockon, the entire thing is a way of filling in the gaps in time and helping fill in back story. Setsuna’s explains why he knows Lyle exists, something that you can only find out he knew because Neil told him in the scene where he was going to shoot him after Tieria left. It’s an official part of the story. I’d recommend you read it before comparing it to things that I’m assuming actually mess with canon because that series of comics is meant as supplementary material to further your understanding of the source.

            You mean the manga that the director, creator, and most of the staff disavow because it missed the point? You’re also missing the fact that the all of the 00 manga outside of Yun Kouga’s and the In Those Days manga are just adaptations/reimaginings. They’re very blatant about not being canon and merely being an adaptation of it while the in between ones make it clear they’re answering questions people had about how things went down and clear up certain things like How Setsuna even knew Lyle existed to begin with.

                Yeah and then she's obsessed with Miorine. It's obvious she liked him, then she moved on.

                Reminder that Suletta cried over him 4 times but only felt a similar level of emotion for Miorine once (and it was when she lost Aerial at the same time so it wasn't even completely for her)

                It's only really twice. One of those times was her just being overwhelmed and the other was after he insulted her kek. Unless you're thinking of something else.

                That doesn’t mean she had a crush on him though. The green tomato wasn’t just to show that he lost his chance, it was to also show that she never felt anything for him up until that point. Could that have changed? Maybe, but her main issue with him was that he was untrustworthy and an opportunist.

                That doesn’t change even if he does pursue her. It doesn’t even change AFTER he got megacucked. Ffs he doesn’t even give a shit about her outside of his crush. He basically leaves her out to dry with the holder shit in an attempt to seem like he’s above else and STILL only attempts to take it when Gund-arm gets formed. Oh yeah and I’m pretty sure he was the one who called the cops on Suletta in episode 2 lol. Absolutely hilarious character.

              Killing someone to protect your fiance and her dad is completely justified. Suletta is just autistic and didn't express her emotions very well. Miorine is unironically ableist, and clone-ist.

                Suletta has a whole in the entire show has zero lose beside the rigged one against Guel. She's not even that good of a pilot too, overusing her permet shit and having god tier MS.
                Either she completely dominates her opponent due to simply having much much better technologies, or her opponents take it easy/refuse to kill her when they could.

                She's not allowed to really lose by the story itself. Yet no one calls her jesus like Kira.

                She goes toe to toe with Eri at the end of the show on her own and does fine. She's the best pilot in the setting by a long margin. She also fights most of the battle royale without Eri helping. There really isn't any question about her skill.

                Good point. Always thought it was interesting how Eri sort of just tanked the bulk of the pharact effect just for Suletta, recalling the time El5n tried to pilot Aerial and had it totally wreck his shit the very moment he tried.

                One thing the show never really answered was whether Suletta could pilot Aerial on her own without negative effects. We know she has some kind of buff from Eri's genetics, Bel said so and she didn't die from the pilot fryer 3000. But does she have the full ability? Or is a different one?

                And we don't know the true nature of Eri's abilities either. Could she sync up with any gundam? Or was it specifically Lfrith/Aerial that she was attuned to? Prospera makes it sound like it might be the latter. She said that Eri's biosignature perfectly synced with Aerial's gund system. But we don't really know what that means.

                Nice quads, the way I saw it, Eri acted as the lightning rod for the pharact (or whatever the negative effect is called) in Aerial specifically, so Suletta could pilot it without issue.
                Eri never expressed any discomfort in the show, but every time we see "her" (for it's not actually the real Eri, just her "biocode" or whatever), she has the blush effect everybody else got.
                Which, to me, seems even more fricked up on their mom's behalf. She's keeping Eri "alive" through Aerial, but she's probably suffering the pharact effect nonstop any time Aerial is running. I could be wrong though as this is all just speculation on my part.

                >Eri acted as the lightning rod for the pharact

                Pharact is the name of piel's gundam. Its the one that looks like its from Armored Core (because it is)
                What you are referring to is the gundam curse.

                So the TLDR is this. Permet is the magic space material in the show. All electronics use it and its kick ass. The GUND format is a man-machine interface technology that uses permet. GUNDams use the GUND format, hence their name. Normal mobile suits don't. GUND tech means you can control things as if they are part of your body. At first they made prosthetics with this and it works well. But controlling a giant robot this way is really hard on the body and can give you a heart attack. This is all quickly covered in the prologue.

                Eri does act like a "lightning rod" for her. Everyone is amazed that she doesn't have negative effects and thinks they fixed the problem, or Suletta is special. She is but not in that way. Eri even goes so far with the ruse in EP6 to make El4n think that Aerial is normal and lets him feel the GUND format but taking it easy on him.

                Continued.

                Those lines have to do with the permet links that pilots have. They don't explain in detail but it might literally be permet injected into their bodies. What's important is everyone had red permet marks, except Eri. (And later Suletta) That is supposed to signal her special ability. Eri does not have negative effects from using the GUND format. Or maybe she does? She did fricking die. Prospera says she died because space but doesn't explain things. We know even using GUND at low permet score will eventually kill you. Maybe it killed her? This is another reason we need more info.

                I don't think she has any discomfort. But Prospera did upload her dying daughter into a Gundam to save her. That is fricked up. Eri is basically Johnny Silverhand and Suletta is V. Except Eri isn't taking over her sister's body. Digital un-life, especially when you spend most of that time unable to talk to anybody sounds awful.

                >when you spend most of that time unable to talk to anybody sounds awful.
                Obviously being stuck in a gundam like that is awful but she did have Suletta around 90% of the time. They both essentially grew up together and Suletta talked to her like a normal person.

                Was it ever explained why Ericht is able to bear the weight of the Data Storm outside of ‘she just can’

                No, but I remember there being a part in Vandais Heart where the research lady Vilma talks about how its possible to create a stronger link with the GUND format by forming some sort of bond with the machines or stimulating your brain activity.

                Also, when Elnora is trying to sync with the Lfrith, she's doing so using "layers" and not permet score (she even gets scolded when she asks to raise it). Permet score seems like a brute force way of using the GUND format while layers are used to try and perfectly sync without negative effects.

                Afaik we never see any other gundam use layers, so we can assume that the Lfrith was specifically made with them in order to protect the pilot from data storms and all it needed was someone to perfectly sync with it. My theory is that Eri's special genes + her talking and bonding with the Lfrith is what allowed her to perfectly sync with the gundam.

                We see Suletta go through a similar process with Calibarn. I think that process is there for all Gundams, we just dont see it all the time for practical reasons. And raising the permet score helps with making the connection but yeah its a brute force method and dangerous.

                I think its another case of suffering for run time. Going off the tempest what's supposed to happen is Prospero gives up on his plan for revenge at the end. That happens in Gwitch, Prospera gives up on killing Delling. But we never really see her consciously do that. Its just dropped? So it leaves you feeling wtf is so redeeming about her. They had to make some tough choices on what to animate and what not but I think they should have cut back on side stuff majorly in order to fit the key plot threads.

                >I feel like S2 was a bit of character assassination.
                He had so much potential after episode 15 yet after his alliance with Miorine he was just...there. He also seemed to be interested in the whole Earthian situation but that went nowhere.

                Agreed. His return to Jeturk and lack of self awareness seems really odd. I expected him to be more empathetic and less self absorbed. But instead he took everything on himself and went inside his shell. Like the other Anon said, I thought it was a cultural thing. But then the writers showed what he did was wrong with Lauda's issues. So now I'm just baffled.

But it's just badly done, his PTSD magically disappears after his duel with Suletta, he barely interacts with anyone after episode 17, his implied suicidal issues are barely touched upon and of course his conclusion in the epilogue barely made any sense imo.

                No, i mean that she doesn't actually need to control the machine manually because it pretty much reads her mind. From score 2 upwards the controls are pretty much superficial and the mobile suit is linked to the pilot's brain seamlessly which you can see when Elan 4 tests out Aerial in episode 5.
                Gundams in Ad Stella completely outclass conventional mobile suits, which is why the SAL still kept caches of pre-production Lfrith's around. They're so powerful they could flatten every other mobile suit despite being 20 years out of date

                None of what she did was a good showing because the only reason she won was because things happened to fall in her favor. There's a difference between being lucky a few times but on top of that when facing her, most of her opponents always lose a few braincells and she's able to do any and everything needed. She has no proper rival nor any proper growth or showing as a pilot. She's only good because everyone else around her who pilots sucks at it or simply doesnt do it. Aerial carried her on top of her just always facing people during theie dumbest moments.

                Rather than trying anything different, pilots take the exact same approach. Rather than it being an arms race where the companies develop their own ways to deal with the gundam, they try and steal it which defeats the purpose of the setting. Characters miss easy shots and there are times where the only reason Aerial doesn’t lose is because characters are forced to not let her lose. Shaddiq could have taken out Aerial and Chuchu still could have gotten the winning shot for Earth House but Aerial couldn’t actually be put out of commission because it means Suletta loses which they refused to let happen because of anyone being better than her.

                You can’t really use that as an example because Amuro had to grow out of that and grow as a pilot himself. Suletta never outgrew Aerial. Getting Calibarn was because she got kicked out of it not an actually interesting way to show the change in fighting preference or to show where she came from like with Amuro. As a pilot, Amuro started matching the Gundam, Suletta has a moment where she tries to but it falls flat when it’s only preceded by victory after victory where for her, there’s no doubts about her piloting skills or whether she’s relying too much on the machine or not. Explaining it feels like an unnecessary effort when it’s so blatantly in the face of anyone who’s watched any other mecha. There’s 0 strategy and so many battles are just basic shootout except the pilots have -100 accuracy until they really really need to get a hit in to raise the stakes and then Suletta gets her second wind and entirely dominates with the bits. Fricking Mika tethering himself to a suit too quick for him to catch and getting thrown around because of it had more strategic thought put into it than anything Suletta or Miorine ever did regarding the fights and that manlet was dumb as bricks. There’s no strategic flare, just bright lights.

                I mean she piloted a grunt for school and did some training. I was more disappointed that she never got to get with Nika to see if they could play with Aerial’s capabilities more. Like if you go through the effort of having the mechanic character, let them show off their skills more. It would have been an interesting way to also get them to see more of Ochs Earth records hidden within Aerial and further give them insight into Gund Arm tech as well. So just by letting anyone work on it you further Suletta’s specialty in the suit, Give more crumbs fir Ochs Earth, and let Nika be more involved in important things. Suletta as she is just doesn’t allow for much plot to happen involving her and it drags down her entire ensemble cast. She should have been allowed to lose way before the 2nd season so Earth house had something actually to do.

                I felt the named pilots all had distinctive enough fighting styles. Guel's was the dumbest and fits your description but he's depicted as not very smart and stubborn.

                They all have very distinctive designs and approaches Anon. I'm not sure how you got to that conclusion. Guel goes through three distinct suit upgrades over the course of the show and even integrates the Jeturk AI to control his funnels. Piel switches up the build of Pharact from a sniper rifle to double trigger AC style when El5n takes over.

                This isn't really a complaint about her piloting skill and more a complaint about narrative structure and fight choreography. That's not the in universe fault of the characters.

                Anon, the entire fighting "strategy" of Wing was to stand there, tank shots and shoot back. I'll agree that there are some stand out shows with excellent fight choreography. But Gwitch is not sub par by the standards of the genre. I think its generally above average.

                They really didn’t. Most fights in G-Witch follow the same structure of taking pot shots, fail to get close, Suletta says up permet score and then the bits win it. Guel’s style is just missing his shots except when he hits then and endlessly charging forward. Only difference between him and Suletta is Suletta lets the bits charge forward for her.
                >They all have very distinctive designs and approaches Anon
                In terms of design? Absolutely. In function? No, not really. Every suit feels like it functions the exact same. There aren’t any different approaches they like to take outside of maybe one battle where they use their gimmick and then it’s never used again. It’s boring and makes the fights feel samey.
                >That's not the in universe fault of the characters.
                Technically it is since Shaddiq let his pride get the better of him and most pilots do the same when it comes to Suletta.
                >Suletta had half the episodes. Gwitch ended when most pilots would get their mid show upgrade.
                That’s not an excuse considering IBO’s 1st season managed to show off Mika’s growth as a pilot who learned better ways to deal with his opponents effectively. Suletta is just the perfect pilot, full stop. She doesn’t grow or anything it’s boring.

                Such as? The only other show you've mentioned was IBO. What other modern mecha show have you watched? I mentioned Wing because its cheap animation and choreography is par for most mecha anime. Gwitch at least didn't reuse animation in its fights which is more than you can say for pretty much every Gundam AU.

                Doesn't the show directly says she's a pretty meh pilot without gundam suits? As even before being rigged, she doesn't really excel much with the demi trainer.

                No? We see her struggle in the land mine test but that's because the other students sabotaged her. She persisted and managed to pass it blind after a lot of attempts.

                They weren’t, they were only “fine” because of the spectacle of the light show.
                > The only other show you've mentioned was IBO. What other modern mecha show have you watched?
                00 hd distinct fighting styles for each different grunt suit throughout the 1st season before they moved to a standard, G-Reco actually had interesting movement and clashes, and A/Z for as bad as it was, had eggs winning because he usually pulled of some really outlandish strategic move. Most mecha I’ve seen has the pilots win due to an absurd strategy which is outlandish but it’s interesting. Suletta only ends up winning and the fight is only a fight because he never goes all out from the beginning and waits until a super climactic moment to use the bits effectively rather than doing that from the outset. I’d rather her just outright win when she has the button to and no one ever counters it so when the fights are needlessly dragged out it’s boring.

                Guel is unironically the best pilot of the AU. He just has the weakest MS, even Darilblade is inferior to many MS.

                He would be if he was allowed to use his brain more or at all. He just holds forward for as long as he can. A lot of the pilots in Ad Stella could be good but they’re all literally bottom of the barely in the grand scheme of pilots but somehow it’s passable here.

                Kek, that raises a valid point imo. Whenever newtype shenanigans happened (like when Laina was shot and Judau gets pissed) it's really cool and makes me root for them. Whenever it happened in G Witch, it was just kind of lame and felt mary sue.
                I'm sure the loser ITT will say it's because of sexism, but I think it's more because it was overused and didn't have much impact. Oh the underdog is getting the upper hand, guess Suletta will activate god mode now. Became eye roll inducing after the 5th time.

                Nice strawman. You aren't sexist. You are just incapable of liking new things and feel a need to be a contrarian. Z and ZZ are both slogs. And not because they are "dark" and "brutal" but because they are mediocre. Funny how this place will make fun of them for years but then put them on a pedestal just to shit on a new show they decide people shouldn't like.

                They did actually, and it's all about how their mobile suits are designed.
                Suletta's is to close the distance between the opponent while using her rifle and bits to either shield her or keep the opponent occupied while she waits for an opening then rush in for a final blow or using herself to keep the opponent distracted and have the bits get the finish.
                Guels charges in head first using his suit's massive shields to tank shots to get in close.
                El4n uses the Peil machines speed to keep distance while using his rifle/bits to debilitate the opponent, only getting in close when they are basically already defeated.
                Shaddiq uses his wired weapons to catch his opponents off guard and then rush in while they are staggered.

                >I felt the named pilots all had distinctive enough fighting styles
                They really didn’t. Most fights in G-Witch follow the same structure of taking pot shots, fail to get close, Suletta says up permet score and then the bits win it. Guel’s style is just missing his shots except when he hits then and endlessly charging forward. Only difference between him and Suletta is Suletta lets the bits charge forward for her.
                >They all have very distinctive designs and approaches Anon
                In terms of design? Absolutely. In function? No, not really. Every suit feels like it functions the exact same. There aren’t any different approaches they like to take outside of maybe one battle where they use their gimmick and then it’s never used again. It’s boring and makes the fights feel samey.
                >That's not the in universe fault of the characters.
                Technically it is since Shaddiq let his pride get the better of him and most pilots do the same when it comes to Suletta.
                >Suletta had half the episodes. Gwitch ended when most pilots would get their mid show upgrade.
                That’s not an excuse considering IBO’s 1st season managed to show off Mika’s growth as a pilot who learned better ways to deal with his opponents effectively. Suletta is just the perfect pilot, full stop. She doesn’t grow or anything it’s boring.
                >Anon, the entire fighting "strategy" of Wing was to stand there, tank shots and shoot back. I'll agree that there are some stand out shows with excellent fight choreography. But Gwitch is not sub par by the standards of the genre. I think its generally above average.
                Did I ever say that Wing was good or a good example of good fights? I meant more modern shows that do put effort into the mech fights instead of covering everything with bright lights and hoping people scream kino as the screen blinds them.

    The point of the show is that nothing really compares to a Gundam. Its not a fair fight, never was. Kenanji, an ace, only beats one in the prologue because he had antidote. They are terrifying, cursed super weapons. Its why Delling had them banned and everyone murdered. Suletta's story was never about beating a bunch of who's at school. That was a means to an end.

    Besides, the show make's its stance pretty clear with every duel.

    There’s one thing that always bothered me about Aerial: the lore behind its creation.

    Every time I try and piece together the timeline from what information we have, three questions come to mind.

    1. How did Prospera gather the materials for Lfrith’s transformation in Aerial? Did she frick for money?

    2. How was she able to create twelve clones of Eri despite that alone being a possibly prosecutorial offense? Did she blackmail Mercury’s leader or something?

    3. How in god’s name did no one on Mercury not figure out that Lfrith was a Gundam? Delling’s speech and formation of Cathedra was fairly recent at the time, so somebody must have put two and two together. Or is everybody on Mercury just that fricking stupid?

    I know Okouchi was lazy, but this is downright moronic to the max.

      When you think about it.
      We never got flashback about Prospera aren't we? Other than prologue that is.
      Like, i guess Okuochi want the story to have same structure as Tempest, but a flashback of Mercury ironically would helped a lot.

        There’s a very brief scene in episode 18 (I think) that shows Eri dying and her biometric whatever transferring to Aerial but that lasts maybe 10 seconds and it’s just a hanger bay

          There's nothing special about the place, it's just a mining colony. The entire point was that it was a quiet hiding place for the fugitive mother and child to stay while they finished work on the incomplete Lfrith. Them being "from Mercury" isn't what makes them different or special, it was them being "witches". The only reason the "from Mercury" part even gets tacked onto nicknames like that is because they're mysterious and nobody knew anything about them other than where they claimed to come from

      1. Aerial is still busted 4 years after the Vanadis incident when Eri dies so she probably slowly fixed it as she worked her way up Shin Sei's corporate ladder.

      2. Resource wise? No fricking clue lol, but no ones bats an eye at the idea of Suletta being a repli-child so we can assume that it's something that does happen but is probably looked down upon.

      3. They probably did because of how much they disliked Suletta and Prospera but its unclear. It was only when Suletta became a rescue pilot and Prospera their boss that some of them began to tolerate the Mercury family.

          The writers decided to make an unholy fusion of Puru and Rosamia and decided it would be a good idea to make that character the protagonist, in doing so providing an excellent case for why the oblivious brainwashed cyber newtype character should never take that role.

            It’s not just that, in 00 especially they made it clear that you weren’t really supposed to feel bad for the Trinitys or excuse them. The main Meister team hold them accountable despite them being “on the same side” and being similar in wanting to change the world with the Gundams. In G-witch however, you’re meant to sympathize with them and even believe one of the main characters falls in love with one just because they had a similar experience, completely ignoring that they’re ready to murder at a moments notice and won’t reconsider for anything. A lot of shows do this now. If two characters have a similar experience, they must get along even if their stance on things are entirely at odds. It makes for cheap relationships and characters. Nena worked because she wasn’t instantly forgiven and got what she deserved, Sophie and Norea don’t because they’re trying too hard to be likable despite being horrible people and doing nothing to change that.

                Because Suletta follows Kira Yamato rules where everything she beats herself up about or is framed as being in the wrong has at least 2 layers of being ultimately justified and have her hands clean by the end of it. Even when she is "wrong" she must eventually be proven right.

                She was clearly internally processing it but we didn't get an internal monologue to hear her thought process. It would have been nice to have one. But knowing Okouchi it would have been at a million miles an hour and everyone would then complain that the show tells you everything and needs to be more subtle.

                Given the choice of the two extremes, I think what we got was preferable because you can see she is lost and directionless but then get clues about a way forward over the next few episodes. She then lays out her conclusions to Miorine.

                When she still monologued both to Earth House and Miorine you can't really say the show was any more subtle about it than an internal one. Even a fast paced internal monologue is more subtle than her fricking opening an episode telling someone she changed the halfway through we stop so she can explain exactly what she meant to band together her rag tag team.

They’re saying that we never get to see her follow up on those situations which is entirely different since rather than being subtle, they’re just ignored outright. It’s not mutually exclusive cause as G-Witch shows multiple times, they have no problem going to the extreme on both sides where they both say too much about some things and then absolutely nothing at all about others.

                Well I disagree about the show's lack of subtlety, at least by the standards of mecha shows. Its not eva levels of the characters sitting there and telling you exactly what the feel. And as for never bringing things back up. Well, some frankly didn't need to be. Could they have been? Sure but there were far more important things that didn't than what the other Anon mentioned that I would have rather had them give more time too.

                The only reason it was more "subtle" than other mech shows was because it couldn't agree on a message it wanted to send without contradicting itself in a way most mech shows avoid by having clarity. I think youre misconstruing clarity as exposition when most shows, at least the ones I've watched, let the viewer infer things while also being able to follow up on the "less" important stuff since they dont have to spend so much time making the obvious known to the viewer.

    The worst part about Sulemio is its enabling of abuse. Miorine treated Suletta like shit, tossed her away because she ‘loved her’ despite having a good reason, and practically screwed herself by siding with Prospera’s idiotic plan.

    When she moped over the deaths on Earth, I cheered. And honestly, she never deserved Suletta. Suletta’s a moron, but her marriage to Miorine is akin to suicide.

      It also makes little sense why any Earth house member still likes her after she pretty much forced them to work with her, would have tried to force them to make weapons if she could get away with it, and then gave them the duty of emotionally supporting Suletta because she can't clean up her own mess.

    I recall a lot of discourse and a lot of confidence from people that the anime will end tragically with Suletta dead, as it is tradition with various Gundam series to go darker, more violent and depressing towards the end, ignoring the fact that WfM has been the most all-ages mainline iteration of Gundam since the pile of nothing that was AGE.
    I feel like those who thought that was going to be the case must be feeling as stupid as when idiots thought Olga was going to be this year's anniversary servant.

      What a bizarre comparison. Also frick you.

      I'm glad she survived. It'd be a real downer to have her get shit on so much and then just die.

        >her get shit on so much and then just die.
        That was the case for years as it was the original plan.

          ...also I'm talking about Sulleta, not Olga. I just realized this could apply to either of them.

            For Olga, i'd say it's a safe bet since the time between her appearances was like 7 years.

            Suletta barely got shat on compared to Nika, the Elans or Guel

      If you ask me, I didn't want her to die. I just wanted her to be more cutthroat badass fighter. But that required more than 25 episodes and the production team to have taken the setting they established more seriously, neither of which happened.

      You could ablate every earth house member besides Chuchu, Shaddiq's gang, the peil CEOs and nothing changes

        Earth house is at least important to Suletta's development, can't cut them.

      I knew it was bait, but I replied so I could talk about G Witch

          I WOULD do it on Cinemaphile, but I took a look at the first 5 posts in the G Witch general, became disgusted, closed the tab and never looked back.
          For all the shitposting ITT, it still pales in comparison to that shithole

            What thin skin you have. You're still half-right, though; it's a shitshow either way.
