Many people still think the Mobile Suit Gundam series is the best in the mecha anime genre, but the next series may make it queen. Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury is the first Gundam anime in seven years and the second in the franchise to be led by a woman.
Instead of the usual war between the colonies, the new Gundam show seems to be more about corporate espionage and school drama, with the main character attending an elite academy and being involved in both.
In line with this change, the art style has become brighter and more “modern,” sure to make the mobile suit battles in the series stand out more than ever. Gundam fans should know the following about The Witch from Mercury, which has a lot to look forward to and will likely be followed by many new merchandises.
Release Date for the Witch From Mercury
When the show was first announced, the first episode of Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury was set to air on October 2, 2022. The movie will come out on that date, and a simultaneous release outside Japan is also planned.
But it hasn’t been decided yet which streaming service will have it. Still, Netflix already has a few Gundam anime, like Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans and the first Mobile Suit Gundam Hathaway movie, so this is probably where The Witch from Mercury will end up when it finally comes out in October.
