Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch From Mercury
The new Mobile Suit Gundam show had a lot to live up to, but from its very first episode it’s delivered kinetic, gorgeous giant robot action, and sweet, intimately rendered character work as we entered the world of Suletta Mercury and her friends at the Asticassia School of Technology, a place where the future of interstellar capitalism and warfare is introduced to the next generation of corporate scions. Both a wonderful, potentially sapphic high school love story and a fascinating evolution of Gundam’s perpetual Earth vs Space conflict, The Witch From Mercury is a highlight of the current anime season, and one of the best shows on TV right now.
