The Weekly Stuff #455 - Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch From Mercury Season 1 Review & Discussion

The Weekly Stuff Podcast returns for its 12th season and a big 2023 with a long-awaited Weekly Suit Gundam topic, as Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch From Mercury has wrapped up its fantastic 12-episode 1st season. We’re here to dive deep on every facet of this so-far wonderful show: from our first female Gundam protagonist in Suletta Mercury, to the complex and seemingly sinister motivations of her mother/resident Char-clone Lady Prospera, to Suletta’s surprise fiancée Miorine Rembran and all the characters she meets at the Asticassia School of Technology, to the big questions like how in the world Chuatury Panlunch – aka ChuChu – fits those crazy hair globes in her pilot’s helmet. Even with just these first 12 episodes to work with, The Witch From Mercury delivers a huge amount of plot, big ideas, and stand-out moments, giving us more than enough to work with as we wait for Season 2, starting in April.  Enjoy, and come back next week for our lists of The Top 10 Games of 2022!Time Chart:Theme Song: 0:00:00 – 0:00:38Intro: 0:00:38 – 0:28:06Gundam – The Witch From Mercury: 0:28:06 – 3:34:14 Subscribe to JAPANIMATION STATION, our sister series about the wide, wacky world of anime: https://www.youtube.com/c/japanimationstation  Explore our archives and subscribe to The Weekly Stuff Podcast on all podcasting platforms:https://weeklystuffpodcast.comFollow The Weekly Stuff Wordcast newsletter for regular updates and extra content! https://weeklystuff.substack.comEnding music by Thomas Lack https://www.thomaslack.com/
