Final episode just aired. Story has concluded.
Overall, I liked this series a lot, although the pacing of the story was very mixed. I will look back on it with good memories.

Mobile Suit Gundam: Witch from Mercury
NO ONE CARES
THE TRUE KINO IS COMING
Welp. At least Fukuda will not pull a SEED Destiny onto Kira himself.
>Seed Freedom news hit bump limit earlier than WfM final episode thread
What a pissant flop
We should have listened
SEEDgays deserve to be roped.
>Finale
strong 6/10. the F91+ZZ rehash ending was kinda fun but the whole FIRIN MUH LASSSEEERRRR shit was fricking stupid and resolved itself conveniently fast.
>Series
6/10. Some great highs and thankfully the 24 episode run helps it not overstay its welcome. Its still nowhere close to G Gundam or Turn A among the AUs but I still liked it more than the snoozefests of Wing and After War X.
Rate the finale and series
Finale 8/10
They managed to wrap up the story quite nicely, while also keeping a lot of things kinda unsolved for potential sequel bait within Ad Stella universe.
Series 7/10
It really suffered from a lack of episodes, but it was very entertaining (to me). I loved the characters and the world building. There should have been more fights, but the ones we got felt satisfying.
I hope there will be compilation movies, or maybe even special OVAs.
Hmm... Maybe a special edition version of the final battle that span two and a quarter of episodes, complete with the wedding scene of Suletta and Miorine. In fact, while the ending is as rushed as a toku show's intro, they always make up for it with special editions.
Series
8/10
Other than the weird break up arc in Season 2 I pretty much enjoyed the ride from beginning to end.
Finale
6/10
I think it needed more episodes so we could have more episodes with other mobile suits being active, longer conversations between Eri, Prospera, and Suletta. I wanted Prospera to actually participate in a mobile suit fight, and that goes for the final Calibarn form as well. You could feel the “We really need to wrap everything up as quickly as possible.” since Quiet Zero appeared.
I look forward to it appearing in SRW
Really mediocre
Lots of time wasted on pointless side characters
6/10
I rate it 10/10 because it ends the shitshow
but too bad there will be a movie
aren't Banrise having too much in their plate already? the OO movie, Hathaway 2, Seed Movie, Requiem for Vengeance and who knows whatever shit they're preparing for Next UC.
like it would be dumb for them to not make a movie about wfm tho
well in the next few years
Bandai new studio in Shanghai can handle the extra work so no worry.
where would they even go for a movie?
Just making the ending focus a bit better on the conflict between Suletta and her family, and add the wedding. Who knows, the first promo could very well be a wedding invitation because of the offscreen wedding thing.
well this made me think that the new trend for AUs is to be void of movies
that sucks
Technically the glowies is still alive and not all people from Earth are on board with this. Conflict will come back
Finale: 8/10
Wrapped things up nicely, but having the Gundams just disappear into pixie dust hurt my /m/ soul. Wished there was a bit more of a battle to go with it too though, they had ChuChu fight in the opening, but not in the show
Series: 7/10
Altogether, it was decent. It didn't exactly break new ground, but it's not some horrible trainwreck like some autists would have you believe. Like any other show, it had its ups and downs, and honestly, if they had more episodes to work with, some of those downs might've been mitigated.
I really want to see SRW adapt that final sequence into an attack though. It was pretty.
I can't give either more than a 6/10 and that's being generous.
5/10 Bland
This series could be great if the ending is not rushed like this
Oukouchi can't even write anymore
finale 3/10. It's just too packed. Like, a lot of "stuff" happened but we have like no context for any of it. Thats definitely not how dissolving a company works. The gundams just straight up disintegrating was weird too because we weren't given any indication that they were made of pure permet. As is the "eri (and the rest of the clones because I guess since they never had their own bodies they don't deserve consideration) is now a disembodied permet voice that people have to wear neck things for or whatever". Its nonsensical. Like, even though I think objectively, unicorn's stuff is more space magic bs then WFM, this feels more space magic bs because its so random and lacking in context. Also the thing about "You're so brave mom, choosing to live instead of get revenge"... She chose revenge. You took that option away from her. What's she gonna do? kill herself? Also Miorine and Delling don't get to reunite with her mom. That just gets completely forgotten. They didn't even give the couple a kiss.
Series? Idk honestly. I feel like a 5/10 is really fricking generous. In fact I want to rate it less than the finale. But I'll settle for 3/10 as well. The pacing is just terrible. It feels like they did most everything wrong. They didn't world build enough, they didn't have enough stakes, the whole premise was just bad with the holder stuff and the school setting. But I think the worst thing is it seems like it really failed to draw its own unique identity. WFM, at least to me, seems like a series of references to other, more pedigreed material, whether that be Shakespeare, Utena, or the myriad of gundam series it not only rips concepts from (like the char clone), but takes care to set up similar homage shots too, in a way that if i've seen it before in a gundam show, I've never recognized prior. And to add insult to injury the prologue was really interesting and a story worth continuing in the same tone.
Finale: 6/10
I like happy endings but that was a massive case of "wait, what?". Didn't even get a proper final battle with Calibarn's ultimate form.
Overall 8/10.
Fun, pretty, nice characters, some great MS designs, a welcome reversal of IBO's edgefest, had me hooked from first episode to the last, but too goddamn short for the story it attempted to tell. Almost unacceptably short even, albeit it turned out somewhat better than G-Reco I guess.
As solid 8.5, finale is meh at 6.5
>prologue
9/10

>series
3/10
It was just a boring anime really. Prospera was literally the only character I gave a frick about, and that's thanks to the prologue really.
Finale: 3/10 It's only good point is that it wraps everything up. Too much stuff crammed all of the sudden, no fight but just a massive asspull shockwave and everything bad vanishes.
Series 6/10 Great mecha design, good animation, plot turned to shit in the last quarter probably due to pacing problems, not enough fights.
I feel it had potential but it felt rushed and all over the place by Season 2
Things I liked:
>The Gundams disappearing was good storywise. I mean they did push Gund tech to be for medical benefits so I feel they nailed that message.
>They gave a post time skip for SOME open plot points like the former Benerit group, Petra, El4n etc.
>Most of the Mecha designs
>The whole Benerit Business Sub-groups conflict Sub-plot (although I felt was not executed properly).
Things I hated:
>Elan just casually turning over to the good guys. I mean he was being projected as cold and evil this whole time. Plus he didn't suffer any consequences by siding with Peil.
>Prospera just casually being forgiven for her crimes. Yes she had a good motive but she killed a whole lot of people for Gods sake. Shaddiq had a trial atleast but she just gets away scott free. Same goes for Nika
>Posted this before, they built up the Schwarzette for an underwhelming battle imo, Demi Barding as well had only one battle and it didn't even had that much screentime.
>A lot of characters felt were just there and weren't explored any further, like Rouji and Cecilia, the Peil Women, Jeturk Girls, Earthian students etc.
Could have missed some other things bcause my memory is bad. The ending felt just alright/ok for me, was nothing mind blowing or that awesome. Again I felt this series had production/story/rushed issues but of course its all speculation to this point. Also I was surprised this was the last episode. I thought it would be up to 26 like the build series with the 26th being like the feel good going home episode. Any rumors/speculation why it's only up to 24? I feel two more episodes could have expanded/fixed some more story plotpoints
>Same goes for Nika
Nika is literally leaving prison
I actually burst out laughing when I realised it was a jail. Spent three years in the slammer, got a dyke haircut, maybe she joined a gang. Did Shaddiq’s haram get time too?
The last 3 episodes were rushed as hell. I'm gonna bet they'll make a movie compilation. At least to give the finale a bit more steady buildup.
Otherwise, I'm enjoying it. 7/10
I'd give the whole series, specially S1, a 7/10, the school duel setup was fun and kind of a new ground for gundam, it worked pretty well, S2 as a whole 5/10
The AD Stella universe has a lot of really expansive ideas that you cant fit into a 24 yuribait series that still has to spend a lot of time selling the character relationships, so the entire "lore" aspect of the show was rushed as frick. Maybe if the quiet zero storyline was somenthing more personal for everyone involved and not a world destroying gimmick it would be better. And because of that even the characters S2 was supposse to fresh out a bit more ended up having rushed arcs as well.
But i liked the mecha designs and the duels, the series had a lot of potential, a compilation movie just for the second half of S2 could do wonders to the general experience
4/10.
Even Gundam X concluded better.
Final: 4/10 it felt way too silly and naive.
Series: I'm gonna be more kind and say 8/10.
How did Gundam lasted 4 times longer than Bionicle with mediocre stories 3 times a row, despite Bionicle has nice story, better technology, and collectibles? Lego don't have shit like P-bandai. Bionicle was dead on 10 years despite them. How can it happen?
5. It was so mediocre, I just felt like a load of nothing.
Series: 8/10 for the most part, I had fun with it
Finale: like a 6/10
>finale
5/10. It stunk. the series really dropped the ball with quiet zero. What was at stake? We never really found out. What was she trying to do? who knows. But we wrapped it up with the power of love and friendship. I guess the nice thing I can say is it tied up the series and the shaddiq twist was epic, but it completely took me out of the series
>series
6/10 maybe a 7/10. Designs were good, music was good, characters were all memorable, story was pretty decent but the ending really knocked it down a few pegs in quality. They should have kept the focus on the internal strife in the organization and stuck with that path of what the end game of a weapons hungry set of companies can do, but instead they turned it into eri's family story instead. They set themselves up to do some cool things. Honestly reminds me of what went wrong with IBO, setting up things that you fail to use.
Finale 6/10
Very anticlimactic ending. The stakes never felt high at all, and in the end nobody paid any consequences for their actions. Almost everyone got their happily ever after ending.
I didn't even give a shit about Shaddiq and by the end I actually felt bad for him. His entire character ended up becoming a joke.
Series 7/10
I thought it showed promise at first. It had its moments and kept me entertained and excited to watch next week's episode.
The start of Season 2 even had me excited once shit finally hit the fan, but ended up being more disappointing than I expected.
I was happy to see Suletta get a wake-up call during season 2 once she no longer had Eri holding her hand through everything for her, but despite her character development the writers still coddled her and the rest of the cast.
The good
>great cast, ample character development for most of them
>nice animation
>great music & voice acting
The bad
>the world feel small and not much world building
>MS fight coreography suck
>need more technobabble & /m/ talk
>pacing in the first half is too slow while too fast in the second half, need 1 more cour
6/10 for me, enjoyable but not rewatchable.
>>MS fight coreography suck
what
Remind me again what notable fight choreography in WfM that you think is good and not just Aerial/Caliburn doing random peashoot or gundbit spam.
Every fights were excellent. Even with the bit spam.
It's pretty, yes but not really memorable and exciting. I can't even remember if Aerial used its mega bazooka launcher aside from the S1 finale.
>great cast, ample character development for most of them
Most of the cast except for Shadiq, Guel and El5n (because forced development) stayed static characters until the end?
9/10. Good show overall with some weak aspects here and there.
Fricking hell, don't really mind the yurishit much and I just wanted cool robots fighting and they couldn't even give me that.
Finale was such a wet fart, 3.5.
Series as a whole is a 5 at best.
>cool robots fighting
Gundam barely delivers on those anyway, it's always poorly animated garbage
Its usually good as long as they're not in space. Space battles are boring as frick.
3/10
sleepy
>shot of dreamy scenery with text overlay
I know the end of the 00 movie did it but this honestly felt more like the end screen on the final chapter of a mobile game with a less fleshed out delivery.
God 00S2 was so fricking preachy
This was the movie and how exactly is preaching that you should try and talk before immediately resorting to violence a bad thing?
Unironic 0/10, none of the themes got resolved, random space magic bullshit that made no sense even in-universe, mass murderers got away with everything, nobody lost anything, status quo unchanged from ep1.
>Finale
9/10
Wrapped nearly everything up conclusively and I kinda liked how much of a golden ending it is by Gundam standards
>Show itself
4/10
Absolute dogshit worse than every other AU except for Age and Destiny
>IBO was a little bit too edgy but G-Witch over corrected and as a result is way too safe.
Exactly what I've been saying since ep 8
6/24
because that's how many episodes I got through before dropping it
The rainbow v-fin is incredibly ugly.
I can't read nip, what is it saying?
>Lilique got even fatter
Be honest. So how do you all rate this show from a 1 to 10? And please put your /misc/-tardism aside as much as possible when rating.
5/10 as a Gundam AU. There was not enough world building within it to keep me interested in the actual world outside of only caring for the main couple. As a regular show 7/10 because at least it was a little entertaining? I just expected a bit more from what’s meant to be the new AU. The way they wrapped everything up on top of the finale feeling like it was trying too hard to emulate other iconic moments instead of being it’s own thing was just disappointing. Worst of all though was chickening out on the wedding. A kiss I can understand but they could have at least dedicated a little time to this thing that they hyped up. Miorine’s speech also felt so corny.mI get that IBO was a little bit too edgy but G-Witch over corrected and as a result is way too safe. Faking out Suletta’s death twice was lame as frick.
0 I didn't watch it so I can't give it a rating.
7/10, If you were really into SuleMio
5/10, if you were not
4/10, I guess? Not as bad as Seed Destiny, but worse than AGE.
Okouchi managed to make IBO S2 writing look competent so wow 10/10 for this talentless hack
Wasted potential/10
7/10, good but not great
I think either they tried to juggle too many plot threads or made sideplots seem like they were going to be more important then they wound up being, and a lot of them didn't get resolved in a satisfying manner. In isolation episode 15 was my favorite, but then they kinda did nothing with it. They made a big deal about the presidential bid only to immediately shove it off way into the background. The whole scene with Sabina and Nika looked like it was going to eventually lead to something, but they never interacted with one another again. I think that when they cared about developing something it got done well, but I wish they cared about developing more things.
I still enjoyed the show and the characters, and while it wouldn't be my first Gundam recommendation, I think it was successful as an entry point for new fans into the franchise. At least anecdotally, a lot of my friends have gotten interested in Gundam through G-Witch, and are now watching better entries.
I'll probably feel differently a month from now but either a 6 or a 7, the final stretch really dragged it down and the space laser back to back with the fortress of doom was really narratively weird and bizarre but my lizard brain still enjoyed it.
Season 1: 8/10
Season 2: 4/10
Averages out to 6/10
I just hated the last episode so god-damn much
8.5/10. for a yuri show it really should have had.. more of it?
Also yeah it was rushed, and lacked action in general, although was we did get was great.
3 seasons worth of episodes could really have helped.
I still think this is the most satisfying AU I ever watched but I AM a pretty damn big yurigay and got utterly sick of the yaoigayshit from the typical Gundam show, so.
Oh and I'm glad JNthed got to design the main mechs
I knew it would never got whole hog with the yuri the same way something like Cross Ange did because this is still Gundam and you can't actually show girls doing that kind of thing on mainstream Japanese TV on what's supposed to be an all-ages franchise
*because Kishida banned fanservice scene from anime since 2022 summer
That's obviously not true, you know it and I can name shows since then that had fanservice. Please tell me you're not that swimsuit schizo
oh not you again in /m/
Yeah it's a bit of a shame but I wasn't asking for lewd stuff to happens, just more interactions would have been great, yet they were separated for basically the entire season
Huh?
Poltards gaslit you into believing this is a carpet muncher Gundam. It is not.
Normalgays don't want to be horny anymore, they just want to be happy.
Well, the animation manages to stay functional so that's good. But as a whole, it's like a 6/10 and that's me being nice. That second half REALLY fricks things up. But after Valvrave, I'm not surprised since the same thing happened there
A 6/10 mainly because I don't like how rushed the last few episodes were
S1 8/10
S2 7.5/10 could've been a 9 but needed an extra episode or two to handle the ending more smoothly and give earthfricks something to do
Still best Gundam since Turn A, and that says less about how good this is and more about how disappointing everything has been the last 20 years
3~5. It was just inoffensively boring from beginning to end. The plot and setting were horrendously underdeveloped, but what we did learn about didn't have much wrong with it. All of the minor characters are flat and the screentime split between them is mostly spent on clippable moments or gimmicky jokes instead of development. There notably were a couple serviceably made episodes and a few more surreally bad ones.
I think the worst part is the spirit of it. It's full of references you can use to compare it to previous Gundams, Utena, and The Tempest, but where do they connect and what purpose do they serve? The entire backbone of the series is secondhand but you'll be hard-pressed to identify a coherent theme or message--the series is entirely uncreative, just a job for everyone involved to fill a timeslot. We just watched 25 episodes of filler.
8-9
7.5
I got tuned every Sunday to watch the show, which is something I assume, and I kinda liked it, but we are FAR from it being a new classic. I think it's a serviciable entry, with a fun cast, nice mecha and good action (most scenes).
I would love to know what happened behind the scene though, beacuse no way on earth that this was the original draft of the plot. It is evident they had to cut much of the stuff that they had planned (see Guel on Earth, El0n, Miorine's mother, the whole Ochs Earth - Space Feds thing..) or redo it hastly without a solid idea how (see three fricking episodes of A Basement For Three (TM), CONSTANT infodump because who has time to implement it into the plot? etc...) and this fricked up the narrative; season two seemed on fast-foward at every instant, with plot points coming and going without having much of an impact.
Contrary to what I mostly read here, the series needed more episodes, and who knows why they took the decision to cut this serie so short (they put big hempasis on how this is the LAST episode, as no new cour, bye bye Ad Stella).
I didn't like the plot, too much shit not resolved properly, but I give the benefit of the doubt and say that this is the severly-cut version of the original idea.
Then there are what I think were bad ideas to just implement, like the Gund-arm thing (they work in here... and study at school?), this fricking fear of theirs of having Suletta DO something (she makes tomato juice in ep 12, but killing Sophie endangering the school was too much? Let's not talk of the final fight being a whole "I don't want to hurt you!" fest, complete with the climax of Suletta needing to choose between hurting Eri or letting her friends die being absolutely wasted by a plot device to make Suletta avoid YET AGAIN a difficult choice) or plot points repeating themselves (Miorine - Suletta misunderstandings, school terrorism..) but even the latter is caused by whatever happened to the original proposal.
(1/?)
Also, if you have to do romance, do it right for frick sake. They tried, I recognise that, but that lack of scenes of just them being together like episode 4 is.. underwhelming? And I am not here for the yuri. Again, episodes like these were probably in the original draft, but I think were scrapped to move a gargantuan plot that seems yet immovable since too much shit happens too fast/ with no momentum to the rest of the surrounding world.
As for the finale, meh. An easy way out to get everybody happy. In line somewhat to the rest of the show, honestly weird that so many possible sequel bait were closed but some are still ripe for that Gunpla money (like the final Tem Ray chip for Quiet Zero, absolutely not a possible future MacGuffin/ source of other Gundams).
Last but not least, wasting Schwarzette for a 4 minute plot point, developed in maybe three episodes proir by spending 20 seconds on it for episode, is the biggest crime of all.
If I am not misremembering, Schwarzette was to release as a gunpla way sooner this year, which for me is further proof of last-minute rearrangement. Same goes for the Grassley suits with the lance.
In short:
>fun cast, good mecha, mostly good action but not always
>plot is fricked up; not so much as in "impossible to follow" but enough to be "underwhelming if you actually cared". Some ideas are thrown it and never developed, and some are real dropped plot points (Lfrith bieng Eri's little sister, whatever the frick happens when two Gundam interact..)
>weird to see them closing on this AU so soon, but with the Prologue incident, fed-Ochs Earth's Gundams, and Permet-Tem-Ray-Chip they have enough side stories to milk the setting dry and make new models.
>overall I liked it despite it flaws, but it could have been better, and most I dislike is not the show fault per se, but is the result of a big idea refurbished for a small number of episodes + part of it being redone possibly close to airing + not always brilliant writing
Where the frick's my War on Earth arc?
Decent ending overall, but... y'all can't just tease that and leave me hanging.
IBO was unironically better
I know it's a fricking toy commercial for gunpla but jesus christ most things only got 1 episode to shine
Even Build shit was better at handling that with the same episode amount
So, was the yuri the only interesting thing about this show?
you know i expected actual final battle not that....
> Projects with similar endings
> Kamen Rider Black RX
> Izetta: The Last Witch
I'm all good with Witch from Mercury.
>Izetta: The Last Witch
TO be fair, I was mad about Izetta's ending too.
At least yuritards got BTFO
What, was it not a lesbian ending?
All they show is that they were married
No onscreen wedding and no kiss
Still a yuri ending, therefore yuritards were in fact not BTFO.
cope
was the second season better? the first season was so awful and boring i stopped watching
Second season was worse believe it or not.
>written by ichiro okouchi
oh i believe it
this
many people say that the 2nd season dropped the ball because of the pacing speed
also many ms get shafted like pharact
Worse than you could possibly imagine. IBO has a new competitor
personally liked IBO season 2 until Macgillis goes full moron and they kinda decided "Frick it, kill em all for literally no reason aside from consequences". The ending hurts me still but it felt like if there was three seasons to actually let things build instead of rush to a fatal end, IBO wouldve been seen better across the board.
thank god our long national nightmare is finally over and this can go into the dustheap of forgotten trash like IBO.
Doing great!
Well, that was a fricking nothing ending. Guess I at least got 5lan looking for the places in Norea's drawings, but damn that was unsatisfying for Guel.
What the frick was that
This ending felt just as ass as IBO's
Huh?
Deaths? sure
Happy endings? why not
But what the frick, these two felt like bashing through plotpoints I didn't even know and just arrived at an ending just cause
Every AU except G Gundam sucks my hairy balls.
they really took the 'only love matters' seriously because that's the only coping its supporter can make. you really cannot defend all other aspect coming from this show.
mommy
almost impressive how bad this whole series and ending was, somehow worse than ibo
Nah both of the series still suffer from trash writing and useless lore dump
One of them has kino ms designs
Well that's the only good thing
love the MS design but hate the story, such a waste of design...
at least ibo had kino music and mecha designs
wfm barely even has better animation and thats not difficult given the competition
Both are gonna be automatically better than Freedom since that is gonna be CGI shite
Why aren't the space ghosts naked?
How the frick were Nadim and the others there too?
They all had GUND tech in them, it was the Vanadis Institute's thing. Even ignoring that, Nadim and the other pilot were in their Lfriths when they died, so it makes sense that they were recorded.
So did they all "die" again after Quiet zero got dissolved? If so, does that mean that Eri is stuck in that charm thing forever?
I mean who the frick knows? If they want to leave it open for the future, just have them still be floating around there so that once someone decides to dabble in GUND again, they awaken.
Permet is like a soul gem from Elder Scrolls, as long as you've interacted with it once you're doomed to get soul-sucked by it
This eplain why Mio mom ghost dont showed up
Als never brother to eplain if Mio mom used some permet shi experiment.
>Doesn't get punished for murdering the fat lady from the space assembly league
>Doesn't get punished for breaching her contract with Delling and the Benerit group
>Doesn't get punished for attempting to murder Miorine and the others
>Doesn't get punished for all the people she betrayed and murdered in cold blood
How was this war criminal able to get away scot-free?
Being crippled is her punishment
BUTTER
I guess Prospera's fate is now to be lathered in wheat
I'm still mad but at the same time death was too good for Katejina
Forgiveness happened at the end of the referenced material The Tempest.
I can't believe (actually I can, but the point is its bad) that they tried to pull the :"Oh she was totally paralyzed the whole time guys" card on the final fricking episode. For a paralyzed lady she sure gets around.
>everyone but Shaddiq gets off scot free for their crimes
Amazing. Bravo Okouchi
They even had Shaddiq take the blame for Quiet Zero and unsold Michaelis RIP.
They really don't want Michaelis to sell don't they.
Why is her hair graying like that?
Crutches are the new broomstick
Get Gundam the Tempest. Actually ended exactly like the play.
Shhh... they don't know what the Tempest is...
im still waiting bandai.
Ending was alright. Nothing amazing but not dog shit like IBO so ill take it. It feels like there really needed to be a s2 to expand the story, but i doubt they have anything to go on after that timeskip.
There was literally no ending fight. How is that better than IBO? Let me guess yurigay?
none of the characters went full moronic for forced drama.
>none of the characters went full moronic for forced drama.
LMAO
Saved by pineapple.
his gf got crippled up, he was a little distraught I guess
Atleast we had robot fights, you know /m/ stuff. Are you sure youre not from Cinemaphile? Its not like the ending is written great too
So, is this worth watching if I'm not into yuri?
Not really no. Hell, not even if you are unless you think toothless baiting can save an otherwise 2/10 show.
I'm into yuri and this show was fricking terrible. The main characters are both moronic and barely even gay, half of this season doesn't even have them interact with each other
How are the hetgays coping about the ending? Sulemio chads won
>Literally every character is straight besides the single pair of dykes that got off screened without so much as a kiss
Lmao
WfM will forever nip at the heels of actual good romances
Garrod and Tifa is the basis I measure every Gundam romance against. If they don’t stack up to them, it’s shit
It's remind me of when girls with gun few season ago ending with the girls is on Hawaii.
Yurigay take it as gay marriage

Aww, Sunrise should listen to the kid.
They did. That’s how we got the show. They had an entire different setting planned out but some test market brat said only old people watch Gundam so they changed gears to what we got
Eri was super hot in this episode. I want to reach permet score 8 just so I can frick her hard
Cute earth witches in the back
Why are they in the back? They're school-shooters.
these new haircuts look like SHIT
> Suletta handling 4 score 8 level MS all by herself
based
She even ascended Calibarn to Score 9 or Score 10 so that she could end it all. As in, she triggered a Moonlight Butterfly to destroy the Gundams and Quiet Zero.
with no filter that is.
So when it says Score 8 and above it is actually something beyond that value.
Still her physical body still have to endure all that loading, even if her friends are acting as the filters to some level.
She had Eri and the other clone children helping her, plus the dead Witches (plus Nadim)
took me a moment to realize who these four were
Least they had enough money to have a nice retirement home, I guess.
i take it back, the ending is shit because these 4 frickers didnt die horribly somehow
Why was this show so obsessed to refrain from any kind of payoff or conclusion to character arcs? They feel more like background props than anything.
They look like transvestites
I can get behind troony's being evil
genuinely very funny to see that one hag with pigtails because they're so associated with children
All of the adults in G-Witch are just gag characters, even Delling.
UCfans.jpg
was waiting for them to get their heads blown off by a char laser but it never happened
sasuga okouchi you've subverted my expectations
Why didn't banana just pull the plug on the space toaster like Suletta did?
On aggregate, /m/ rates every show 2-3 points lower while it's running or after it's done than they do when the next one airs. For example, IBO. Hence when they call it 5/10, they mean it's actually a pretty solid 7, and that's just a fact.
IBO Season 2 was a pile of shit, even if you dislike Witch stop pretending IBO was good.
IBO actually was good, most of the major characters were fairly developed, the MS designs were all pretty iconic and memorable, the soundtrack was just god tier, and overall the plot of Season 1 wasn't too simple nor was it too complicated either which makes for a fun time.
It's only with Season 2 that it turned to shit cause the writer had a yakuza fetish she wanted fulfilled.
Better than IBO's Dainsleif ex machina ending.
Im just amused that the guy that keeps trying to derail with SEED isnt getting any bites
I think honestly the gold statue of Flit made for a better ending than this.
AG201 NEVER FORGET
Aw she choked up talking about voicing Suletta. Also there's Caliburn Gunpla.
It was okay with some real good episodes, but they really didn't need a whole season of school duel shenanigans and the final confrontation needed more build up for the ways it resolves.
Also this is fricking bullshit.
I'd rather be dead than in a keychain. What a stupid ending.
It's copied from Blue Archive too.
I was alright with the school shenanigans, I thought it suffered because it had to raise the stakes that high
>Miorine and Suletta are going to die
>Eri will spend the rest of eternity inside a fricking keychain
at least it makes for a good set up for a 3000 A.S. spinoff
Did u rike it?
I think the director he's paired with for Witch has some shit ideas. He was ok when he was paired with Tomino or Taniguchi.
Personally, I prefer it to be tight and little rushed, rather than long and drawn out, which is what Gundam with 50+ episodes so often feel like.
It was fine and even great at some points but never reached it's potential although the 2d mecha animation is probably the best since Granbelm.
Season 2 was cool until the final episodes with quiet zero. What a disappointment. There was no large scale battles or epic fights, lauda being in the final boss suit was incredibly shitty. We never got to see mercury, or any sense of world building other than earth people are poor and hated cause they are poor.
when Eri transferred on the plus dolls, i thought they could do better and give her a full Gund body like how Sarah got a physical body in Divers.
What do I watch next week
Something actually good
Ayakashi Triangle? At least Suletta and Chuchu's VAs are around on this one.
Your other ongoing Gundam, Urdr?
Turn A Gundam
ZZ
literally what is the purpose of El0n?
makes me feel this series was supposed to be long, but got forced to conclude early for some reason like Gundam X and Greco.
I've said it a million times and I'll say it again. Needed to be way more episodes than it was. Pacing was shit and character work was shit
yeah, even with just 39 eps, this could have fit so much more
39 episodes wouldn’t have fixed the shit ending with everything turning into rainbow dust.
That was the best part though
APOLOGISE
I now kneel to UC, NT, and Hathaway. Remember when we thought Witch would be a tonally serious story like Ecole du Ciel?
I wish they had just made an Ecole du Ciel anime instead.
Can someone please post Secelia in her new outfit?
My dick holy frick
Hagged
>Prologue
Dark, serious, tons of potential for an amazing show
>Ending
We won through the power of love and everyone lived happily ever after
It was exactly like Shakespeares play
No one applauded to set prospera free
I honestly liked most of the series but the ending was a whole lot of fricking NOTHING.
Most of the side characters did frick-all, everyone got away with everything (except fricking Shaddiq lmao), the gundams existed to have one fight each just so they can sell model kits then vanish, the problems got solved with a magic rainbow explosion, then BOOM time skip.
I was holding out for a season 3 announcement during the whole ending sequence but it never came.
It needed 51 episodes, ending with SAL collapsing and space warlords rising out of the chaos with the Peil CEOs eating beam bazooka.
The first OVA series will deal with one dangerous warlord leading a Permet Cult, wanting to accelerate human evolution no matter the cost.
This culminates with the next set of OVAs and the big final movie which involves an Earthian antagonist who's main goal is to deport all the Spacians back to Earth and eradicate the very concepts of evolution and revolution from the public psyche.
It couldn't even be bothered to fill the time it had with interesting shit and you think it needs more? If anything it would be even worse than it already is.
As mentioned above, the two villains of their respective OVA series would represent the two extremes of their respective sides:
The Spacian Permet Cultist who wants to accelerate evolution to an absolute singularity point.
And the Earthian General who desires to stop evolution, by forcing humanity to abandon space forever.
Anon you are living in a fantasy land if you think more time would mean it would actually use it well. It would just be full of more pointless filler and dead end plot points that go no where, like the two seasons it did get.
how the frick IBO climax more engaging than this
The IBO cast didn't have Suletta's level of plot armor.
>What is Julietta or Rustal
I mean those guys were the antagonists
Because there was an actual fight, even if it led to them all getting slaughtered. This one ends with just Suletta turning everything off.
if this show didn't have a forced /u/ plot it would have 0 defenders
>Decent looking mechs
>Rarely appear on screen
Pretty disappointing. I was only sticking around for MioMio and Secelia.
Too many characters and plot threads that go no where until getting magically resolved in this finale. If they had 50 episodes there'd have been a chance for this to be fleshed out but they just spent 3/4 of the show on filler at the school or this rubbish about funding GUND-ARM/Mio runs for president.
looking mechs
appear on screen
By far the biggest flaw of the show for me. Outside of Aerial we barely see any other MS for more than an episode or two.
There's already a thread about this but shit like Pharact and Schwartzette looked sick and they just appear for like an episode each to job (the latter being piloted by fricking Lauda! Really?) Honestly it was better when they were dueling since it at least gave a reason to show off a new suit in action. Some episodes had no battles whatsoever. We never even see Suletta have to fight Prospera and have a back and forth about what's good for Eri like you'd expect from Gundam or any robot anime really. What were they thinking.
The fact we didn't have the entire main cast piloting the Gundams in a cool final fight against the space laser was an absolute crime.
WfM for me is an equivalent of a constant wienertease. It gives us interesting concepts and plot threads, and then they back out with an absolutely unsatisfying resolution, because they're too afraid to break the show's status quo.
Weren't people predicting Permet Ghosts as early as Season 1 ?
For people who died from the data storm like el4n and Nadim yeah. Don't think anyone expected everyone who ever piloted a Gundam to come back.
To me it's less of predicting, more of feared it
so which has the worse pacing planning? this or G-reco?
Greco despite it's runtime and mach-speed expositions feels more adventurous and action packed
How did Gundam last 4 times longer than Bionicle despite the shitty story 3 times a row? At least Bionicle had nice story, no shit like P-bandai, better technology and collectibles. Gunpla has no collectible like Kanohi,Krana,projectiles.
Bionicle was made in the west
So Bionicle has better story, better technology. Do gunpla have any collectible like Kanohi,Krana,Kanoka disc, Zamor?
>Bionicle has better story
hahahaha didn't you gays get deleted by transformers
>Bionicle has better story
Elaborate.
The story of Matoro, the greatest Tohunga and Toa Inika,Mahri. Does Gundam have greatest hero like Matoro?
Pride Gundam
>deletes itself
Bravo Okouchi
It's my favorite Gundam AU.
Get fricked lmao
You poor soul
School shit killed this series. Could have taken 3 episodes out of it.
yurichads we won.
hyperventilating in mobile suits: the anime
one of the worst anime i've ever watched, and thats just on the anime itself. I'm not some brainrot polgay that's screaming about it being "woke" or whatever
I liked the series up until the ending just went full fricking moron. It was like a series of set pieces they tried to weave together. Nothing ever felt at stake. Bunch of morons doing moronic shit. Which is a shame because it didn't feel like it would have been hard to tie it all together. They did a pretty piss poor job of stringing the conspiracy momletta was plotting or even what was at stake. Wrapped up in a newtype magic flash.
Weird series
this shit had the ugliest animation too
and the mobile suit design was dogshit as well.
honestly literally the only people that could have enjoyed this were the 14 year old yurigays who wanted a schol story with a blithering stammering main character.
>Aerial? Turned into an AI
>Calibarn and the other Gundam? Gone
>Quiet zero? Vanished?
>Darilblade? SURVIVED
JETURKCHADS WE WON
FUNDS ARE SAFU
VimGPT is the future, baybeeeee
desperately sold the show as a yurishit female empowerment
>>The actual fan favourite character in the show is a male
Fricking topkek
I thought the series was good until the last couple of episodes. Season 1 was overall fun, but in hindsight I think I don't like it as much because of how S2 floundered with its promise.
Season 2 started pretty poorly but soon regained its footing and had me hopeful after the first episode, but most of everything after episode 16 or so was underwhelming. There were individual scenes and elements that I enjoyed, but overall I'm just miffed at how it all turned out.
At least I like the designs/gunpla.
How tf did the gund bits change color? Is this a Seed Prequel?
Dude they can disintegrate themselves.
The unmatched power of gay robots
I never want to hear this anime and Utena mentioned in the same sentence ever again
now that its over is it worth watching if I find YURI boring and I just want normal Gundam political stuff and cool mechas?
Absolutely not. No.
>Pharact literally does nothing after the Norea attack and does none of the cools shit from S1
>Schwarzette had no role and only existed to sell a new toy
>Caliburn got only one real battle to show off
>Gundam Lfrith and Ur who?
You guys aren't even good at selling the fricking toys
If you count the prequel ONA, G-Witch is only 25 episodes long. Looks like we have a new record shortest Gundam animu (not counting TV edits of OVAs like Unicorn and The Origin).
Suletta got sexed by Elan's ghost
I do like how this guy basically won the series by doing nothing
Crazy how he is a CEO now.
>does nothing
>wins
Honestly, pretty based
>later morons
>Thanks for everything. I?m sick of you, I'm quitting Peil. Best Wishes, Elan Ceres.
At least he was polite about it
>Thanks for everything. I'm sick of you, I'm quitting Peil. Best Wishes, Elan Ceres.
this is /m/anons watching Gwitch's last episode
>Thanks for everything. I'm sick of you, I'm quitting Peil. Best Wishes, Elan Ceres.
This but for /m/. You guys sucks lol
That ending is literally unicorn + F91
I told you school shit was bad.
are seething that they couldn't have troony Kudelia x Atra 2.0
This is the best Sunday ever!
are seething that they couldn't have troony Kudelia x Atra 2.0
proof?
Show me the screenshot where they fricked. Pro-tip: you can't
This is a kids show you deranged degenerate.
his that seedgay that keeps spamming the sex part.
Cope <3
Tomino would be ashamed. Neither Suletta nor Miorine have "fleshiness"
>Seething
Anon I hate to break this to you but just because you think they should be mad doesn't mean they are.
Go look at the tag on twitter or the threads somewhere else. Hell, hop over to /u/. At worst they think the finale was mediocre but they're happy it gave them wedding rings. You're cheering over winning a shadowbox.
honestly as a gay woman i loved this show, they handled SuleMio very well
Cope department is over there, carpet muncher
Did... did people really think that MioxSulleta was not endgame?
Just that one ex-tripgay schizo from Cinemaphile who samegays himself and ban evades
If anything that shipping is the only thing that this anime spend effort, however people want MORE and lets be honest the whole situation with MioSule is not properly developed that reek of quick save bucks.
Utter trash, plagiarized everything, developed nothing.
Is there an explanation how Calibarn suddenly connected to the magic realm and created magic particles that reached far beyoned Quiet Zero's capabilities (which was using gundnodes, unlike Calibarn that did it all by itself), and how it revived every dead person for a short moment, and why all of a sudden all gundams acted together while being unmanned and then got erased from existence? It's not possible that only explanation is picrelated, right guys? Right?
Suletta and Eri went over score 8 together and created a temporary data storm area that Quiet Zero did and then they hijacked the other gundams like Elnora did to the tank at Quinharbor to expand the data storm to reach the cannon and shut it down.
Basically every time the plot needs to move forward just raise the permet score
DBS tier writing
finally watched it, it was lacking in action, but I enjoyed the epilogue. I enjoyed it, a neat little series tied with a bow. I cant wait for what curve ball the next Gundam ,series will throw
THANK GOD IT'S OVER
I wanted more suffering
The only people suffering were the audience though.
Decided to pick this up now that the show has finally ended.
Does it end with marriage or at least a kiss, or is it mostly yuribait?
just ring
no wedding
no kiss
especially no sex at all
It ends with marriage but no kiss.
It's yuribait bait.
I'm just confused
It doesn't seem like the kind of show you (or rather, girls Sunrise want to get into Gundam) would watch without a pre-existing understanding of previous works such as 0079, Zeta and some AUs.
Why Gundam is called Gundam, what differentiates it from other suits, why there are space colonies, what's happening on Earth; nothing like that is really shown.
They could have set it in UC and although it'd bring down the overall quality, it would fit better if they said Permet was developed to be some kind of alternative to Minovsky.
Like why does Ad Stella even have humanoid mobile weapons? Any previous wars?
ANY other companies at all make them? How long have they been a thing? Are there other schools like this one? What about Venus, Mars and Jupiter? How about the moon? Are there any criminals out there who steal MS from schoolkids? Why was Delling able to get away with shooting everyone at a development facility?
Why why why
>Why Gundam is called Gundam
This is like the only show that actually tries to give an etymology to the word Gundam though
Seed of all things did it better.
All the Gundam acronyms are pretty moronic though
>Genetic on Universal Neutraly Different Alloy-nium Mobile suit
No. oh HELL. no.
Its also explicitly clear what differentiates them too.
And yet oddly enough it’s the worst show ever!
Don’t give them any credit for this trash. The animators did a good job tho.
Out of all the things you can speed watch, did you really forget all the times they explicitly explained what a Gundam is in this setting and what makes them different?
The other stuff you’re mentioning are either side story/data book bait or things the show doesn’t need to explain
Almost all of this stuff doesn't get even a seconds worth of explanation in other series too, just after the fact fill-in in tie ins or manuals.
I don’t think that’s really correct. Most AUs at least do try to explain how their new special particle or reactor works in the show and make a clear difference between them. In G-Witch Permet is in everything, it’s specifically what the Gund Format that makes it different but the pros and cons of it compared to modern mobile suits isn’t really ever explained outside of it being a more dangerous link for the pilot except for Aerial because Eri was there to help. So in the end you end up with an Au where the Gundams only difference is the potential to kill the pilot with one exception that doesn’t actually get expanded upon before they completely erase the concept of Gundams all together. It’s weird to me how the threat of the link in IBO is better established and show the cons of it compared to the actual updated mechs which G-Witch, being a setting so focused on corpos and tech, should have been able to do as well. The difference is there but it’s so self contained it feels wasted.
>it’s specifically what the Gund Format that makes it different but the pros and cons of it compared to modern mobile suits isn’t really ever explained
You very very clearly have more percise control over everything the MS does, including funnels. The first sortie of a Gundam literally demonstrated that, its very clear the pro is effectiveness in control and the con is life risk.
Yes but it’s been a good many years since that was the case. Even with Gundams being banned, technology should have been able to advance to a point to show how regular MS developed in that time period. My issue is that for a world so obsessed with innovation through any means, there is so little of it both in the time skip and on screen. Gundam are better because they’re the only suits that give you that fine motor control but you’re seriously telling me that somehow in the years since the prologue, technology has stagnated to the point where Gundams are still uncontested kings? It just feels like it misunderstands the fun part about having all the different companies and tech.
Bro? Drone tech literally advanced within that timespan, that’s what Darilbalde is
And it’s incredibly lackluster despite how competitive the market is. Let me rephrase it, they didn’t make 0 advancements at all, the ones they did make were just incredibly underwhelming. Even with Gundams out of the way, if you know there’s something out there like that which existed you’d still try to beat the concept of it. It just turned it underwhelming to me.
>allows you to do what Gundams did but without the risk due to having a AI do those functions instead
I really don't know what else you want from that concept.
I liked what Peil could have been going for with finding an alternative to just plain old Gund-Format but I’d have liked to see them try and use Permet in a different way to emulate it better because the AI was inferior in every way even outside of Aerial. I know what I wanted, I wanted the tech to catch up to the Gundams a bit faster or at least be somewhat equal. That’s my issue but it’s largely personal preference.
The fights were terrible, because of how much more advanced aerial is.
All her fights boil down to her bit spamming her opponenrs underpowered suits and when someone even threathens her in the slightest bit, by bringing bit jammers or bits of her own she just activates god mode and highjacks that shit.
I just hate it when people think what makes gundam good is the gundams being overpowered when largely the reason the suits get popular in the first place is because they’re either pushed in battle some way or they become an extension of the pilot on top of being cool. Aerial as a suit is everything I hate about Gundams. If it is never contested and there’s never even a chance of the enemy catching up, then any sort of talking on equal footing falls entirely flat. The Gundam just becomes a representation of the overwhelming force one side has over the other. The only eay this AU could work is if they got rid of them entirely because otherwise there is no such thing as equality in the treaty room but even them disappear is insane in and of itself.
wasn't Aerial getting ransacked when they had a duel with Shaddiq and his b***hes?
I can’t recall exactly so correct me if I’m wrong but didn’t something happen during the middle of that where Aerial powered up again to push them back enough that ChuChu could take the final shot on Shaddiq? Regardless, I don’t think…6 people ganging up on two suits and losing because one suit is a gundam and the ither is a sniper exactly takes away from the point that I was trying to make about the Gundams being overpowered. That’s like saying the Gundams in 00 were alright because they almost got taken out by a bunch of militaries throwing squads of suits at them.
He literally won a 1v6
It varies.
>G
Never explained but we know from the way Mobile Trace works that the MS were probably developed specifically for the competition, hence them being "Mobile Fighters". This by extension gives us a reason as to why they are mostly humanoid.
>Wing
We don't get an explanation of why they're humanoid specifically but we DO get to see almost the entire lineage of MS development and the rough time frame.
>X
It's basically a pseudo-sequel to 0079 so it's not a stretch to assume they run off the same Minovsky physics or something similar.
>SEED
Neutron Jammer Cancellers are ridiculous and would never work BUT in SEED they just do, so they made mecha suits to fight with. We also get to see a lineage of suit development again, though it's nowhere near as recent as in Wing.
>00
We get a whole cavalcade of details on how solar reactors work and why they can't mass-produce them, as well as an on-screen developing line of different suits using knockoff reactors.
>IBO
Gundams are ancient tech that just work. I have no idea how Gjallarhorn produce Graze and other MS but they are the one faction that would have details to do such a thing.
>WFM
GUND-Arm started out as augmented body shit for space travel even though they didn't start working on it until they'd already colonized VENUS (very hard to colonize due to temperature) and they just so happened to have a ton of weapons as well??
gb***h sucks
You know, I'm witchgay, but I'm gonna kneel anyway. You deserve it b***hposter.
Can’t believe gb***h anon was actually the real winner here
i liked it, but it needed more action.

>Thank you very much.

That's pretty venimous.
A shame, I really do love her/his artsyle.
I'd just like to point out that Prospera only killed people in self defense
I think the prologue did more damage to the series than anything else. People watched that and had preconceptions about what G Witch would be (obviously, it's a prologue) and it was so good and the tone so different that once the actual series started and it was basically a 180 that soured a lot of people's initial impressions and thus, how they viewed the rest of the series. Even by itself it's not a super strong entry but if we had started with just episode 1, with the prologue plot points later or something, I think people would have lightened their expectations
>Gos away with anything
They never brothered what happend with Olcoot.
source?
what a shame all the gundams fricking disintegrated into magic permet dust
>MioMio buys a vibrator for alone time with Suletta
>Eri starts haunting it
I don't get the whole Earth and Space conflict in this series. It feels like none of it actually mattered and was just something mentioned out of obligation. Thet really needed to start moving the plot from the beginning of season 2 instead of near the end.
It mattered but it was more or less just character motivation.
Having just finished the final episode
Genuinely one of the worst Gundam series I have ever watched and I will never take the opinion of anyone who says it wasn't trash seriously. Suletta probably isn't the absolute worst Gundam protagonist, but I think she ended up being one of my most disliked.
What a waste of a perfectly good set-up in Prologue.
All I have to say is that I wanted double the episodes.
