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 movie. I really enjoyed watching this. Great film! See more erick H @RT79329094 Apr 18 It opens with a killer prologue full of tragedy, forbidden tech, and revenge. It follows naive Suletta Mercury at a corporate space high school, dueling for power, marriage, and control while her mom Prospera schemes in the shadows. Season 1 delivers solid intrigue and character moments. Season 2? Total collapse. The writers cram a 50-episode revenge epic — mass murder, identity twists, Quiet Zero apocalypse, corporate war — into just 12 episodes. Everything rushes by in a blur of asspulls, abandoned subplots, and sudden "power of friendship" fixes. Suletta gets reduced to a reactive puppet, big themes fizzle out, villains go flat or get oddly redeemed, and the ending time-skip slaps on a toothless happy bow that betrays Gundam's usual bite. The mecha fights look great and the wives are cute, but no amount of pretty animation saves a story that sprints to the finish while tripping over its own hype. Promising setup, pathetic payoff. 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.
