As someone who has been following the Gundam franchise for decades, I must say that the announcement of a new spin-off manga for Gundam: The Witch from Mercury is like a breath of fresh air. Having watched and adored many iterations of this iconic series, I can’t help but feel a sense of excitement and anticipation for this new story, especially since it will be set in an alternate universe where our beloved characters Suletta and Miorine meet as high school girls.

I must admit that while the anime adaptation was well-received by many fans, I too shared in their disappointment regarding the handling of the story. As a seasoned Gundam fan, I’ve come to expect more from the writers and this time around, it felt like some plotlines were left unresolved. However, with the talented Hisadake providing the scenario for this manga, I am hopeful that we will finally get the closure and exploration of these storylines that we deserve.

The choice of Hiro Hato as the artist is also a brilliant move; his previous works have shown a keen eye for detail and a knack for bringing characters to life in a way that resonates with fans. I eagerly await the release of more details about this project, and I can’t help but wonder if this manga will be the game-changer that Gundam: The Witch from Mercury needs.

On a lighter note, I can’t help but chuckle at the thought of Suletta and Miorine as high school girls navigating the complexities of adolescence while piloting giant robots in space. It’s a recipe for chaos that only Gundam can deliver, and I can’t wait to see how it all unfolds!

Fans of the anime series “Gundam: The Witch from Mercury” are in for an exciting addition as a new spin-off manga is set to debut soon. This news was officially confirmed in a recent announcement.

Gundam: The Witch from Mercury Has Been A Hit With The Audience

  • Anime was well-received by fans
  • Season two finale was controversial

In October 2022, the 15th series within the Gundam franchise, titled “Gundam: The Witch from Mercury,” made its debut. This show ran for a total of 12 episodes, but prior to its official launch in October, a prologue episode was released in July 2022 as a sneak peek. Following this initial run, the second season of “Gundam: The Witch from Mercury” aired from April 2023 to July 2023.

Although both seasons boasted stunning animations, viewers felt let down by the way the narrative was managed. Essentially, various subplots were left unresolved as the production team focused primarily on the main storyline. Fans felt that with more careful writing, the overall story could have been improved significantly.

In the final episode of Gundam: The Witch from Mercury’s second season, there was a significant amount of controversy surrounding its production. It was claimed that the studio responsible for creating the episode suffered from poor management. Remarkably, over ninety animators were required to complete the episode, which is extremely unusual, particularly since it wasn’t even a special episode.

I found myself once again caught up in a stirring discussion surrounding an anime, this time due to the absence of same-sex marriage in its digital version. Fans felt strongly that the publisher was attempting to hide or downplay something that had been established as part of the story’s canon and was suggestive throughout the series.

Gundam: The Witch from Mercury is available to stream on Crunchyroll.
