The contextual intricacy and the fact that the last episodes change the setting completely, also switching the slight comedy for drama make “Witch of Mercury” a mecha anime that is definitely worth watching, for reasons beyond its usual technical prowess. Go to Full Review

Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury is a fresh entry in the long running history of Mobile Suit Gundam and one that continues to be a standout. Go to Full Review

4/5
A strange mix of school life, business politics and mobile suit combat but with a lead character that’s genuinely charming and easy to route for (with the possible exception of the final scene of the series!) made for a fun ride. Go to Full Review

Lazarus B @LazarusBlous May 27 The Witch from Mercury: Gundam’s Most Overhyped Flop They promised a fresh, bold new Gundam with a school setting, strong female lead, and yuri undertones. What we got was a flashy but hollow mess that collapses under its own weight. The first half is decent eye candy with some fun mecha fights, but the story is a disjointed disaster. Characters are introduced then immediately sidelined, major plot threads go nowhere, and the ending is one of the most rushed, unsatisfying conclusions in recent anime history. All the social commentary feels shallow and performative, while the "romance" is barely there. A visually slick Gundam that squanders its potential and wastes your time. Stick to the classic entries. This one’s a pretty disappointment. See more Erick H @RT37730302 May 20 Terrible anime. I really despised watching this. shippers and rainbow fans take the L again! See more Homu L @AkemiLord May 3 Fantastic anime . I really enjoyed watching this. Great movie! Waifu fans once again lost! See more Mercuslop s @Mercuslop Jan 2 Terrible show with underwhelming mobile suits and a convoluted story. The plot confuses and alienates newcomers, feeling dated and dragged out despite only 25 episodes. Suletta is bland and unrelatable, while the supporting cast is forgettable and irritating.The Houses and Branches lack flair, serving as contrived devices that awkwardly push Suletta into a mess she doesn't grasp—leaving viewers equally frustrated with no payoff.Mobile suit designs are among the weakest in any AU, generic and lacking personality. Antagonists feel forgettable, offering no real challenge or complement to Suletta's Aerial, which has forced and unconvincing stakes.Animation is stiff and uninspired; characters are one-dimensional with exaggerated, cartoony expressions that clash with the tone.Battles are low-stakes and pointless, with no tension and grating, repetitive sound effects.Strongly recommend skipping it—it's a waste of time. See more Erick H @JHonnygoyslop Jan 2 The show is awful slop. The people saying is great are the same demographic saying stranger things ending was good. See more Jamms Y. @lilith01 Dec 25 Great show and amazing mobile suits and story The plot is solid for new comers and a nice modern anime at 25 episodes Suletta is charming and the party of characters she interacts with are all nice to watch. for the show the Houses and Branches all have a certain Flair to them that helps them fit in the narrative to push Suletta forward to a plot she doesn't understand, and that works because we are finding out the overall story with Suletta and that's the proper way to tell a story of this scale. The mobile suit designs are some of the best AU designs from the various designers coming together to give the antagonists of the show a personality and flair that compliments the individual challenge for Suletta to go through in the Aerial as they are essentially on this journey together for the mobile suit has a stake in the story as well. The animation is smooth and charming, the characters are unique and diverse with an animated flair that doesn't look cartoony in any way as it's fits the theme of the show My last points are the battles and sfx glorious they all have stakes and a means of the reason for them. The tension is high from the first motion to the battles climax and the sound of the weapons is just ear candy High recommend try it out and see if it's your cup of tea See more Read all reviews
