Kidou Senshi Gundam: Suisei no Majo Season 2

After surviving a brutal terrorist attack on Plant Quetta, Suletta Mercury returns to dueling at the Asticassia School of Technology, while Miorine Rembran sits at her injured father's side, waiting to see if he will recover. As the residents of Earth House are preoccupied with their respective troubles, two members of Dawn of Fold—the perpetrators of the attack—secretly infiltrate the school, putting Suletta and her friends at risk.

At the same time, Prospera, Suletta's mother, approaches Miorine to propose the continuation of "Quiet Zero"—a project headed by Miorine's father that can allegedly end all war. Prospera seems to be another political figure with hidden, opposing motives, and whether she truly has Suletta's well-being at heart remains to be seen.

Season 2 is a harder pill to swallow as a fellow country bumpkin gifted kid who was always inches away from being thrown in the trash the moment I'm too much of a problem. "Our Empty Selves" is a painful watch for anyone who's had terrible things done to them "for their own good."

But it's what makes Witch from Mercury a worthy successor to Revolutionary Girl Utena despite lacking the latter's artistic flair. I know people who finished Utena's playhouse of metaphor who felt the series was an inspiration, but the ending stops before dealing with the "real world."

Despite souped-up sci-fi and a bunch ... of rich kids, Mercury doesn't shy away from recognizing there is a real societal poison that leaves no person untouched, and the characters must recognize what the poison has done to them, how to live with others, and most importantly, how to live with themselves. It creates an experience that is completely resonant even if some of the characters' journeys are more abstract than others.

Mixed Feelings

The show is a lot of fun, and overall I enjoyed my time with it, but the writing has issues. The pacing is just downright bad and every plot line suffers for it. The show has so many plot lines crammed into it, and not only does it not have enough time to properly go through and resolve them all, it doesn't use the time it does have efficiently. It also keeps ramming new discoveries and new issues all the way down to the last episode.

The political intrigue balloons in scope and starts meandering. A bit over halfway through Season 2, so many things ... start happening at once it would already be hard to follow if the writing held up to begin with. A lot of WfM's plot developments don't have a lot of logic behind them, but Season 2 has the worst of it - things just start happening with no explanation, plot twists come out of nowhere and are handwaved away (a LOT of things get handwaved away), things just... happen, with no real reason behind them. Beyond being hard to follow, it becomes hard to care about.

The main duo's relationship suffers the most from this - unlike in Season 1 where the politics, the overarching story, and the character drama between our main two were nicely intertwined, in Season 2, for the most part, these plot threads are now separate. The main duo have no time to breathe, and their story has no time to develop. It doesn't feel like a conscious decision by the writers, but rather a consequence of a lack of runtime.

The show is still gorgeous, the characters are still fun, the ending, while feeling rushed and generally unsatisfying, still has a lot to love. Many plot lines go nowhere, many of those that do get resolved don't get resolved well, it becomes hard to follow and can generally feel like a bloated, meandering mess at times. Still - while I can't outright recommend it, I had a lot of fun with the series.

As an aside, it was great to see some yuri in a mainstream franchise like this. While it ended up being a minor element in the grand scheme of things, I hope WfM is successful enough to bring more yuri to genres we don't see much of it in. Failing that, I hope it's at least successful enough to make bigoted corpo suits think twice before trying to walk back on yuri developments in shows.

gundam the witch from mercury. cool name, you'd expect big things from a gundam series but instead we get one of the shortest series ever. the story has potential but it's wasted hanging around a school worrying about romantic relationships instead of actual fights and adventure. the thing is though for a show about gundam there are very few gundams in it. three of the four mobile suits used in the finale barely have any screen time and the villians that are supposed to play a big role and add to the suspense are easily put down and taken care of without actually contributing to ... the main story this is honestly like a bad version of gundam iron blooded orphans, probably never gonna give this show a second watch if your trying out the gundam franchise for the first time i reccommend a different series there are literally a dozen different gundam series that are much more worthwhile than this one try Gundam seed or Gundam 00
