2023-01-22 18:53:54 +0000 UTCThere's a short story that takes place between season one and season 2, that I believe was voiced and put to images. It's called The Cradle World, and I'd def recommend it if you haven't checked it out yet.

2023-01-22 15:33:51 +0000 UTCI mean, I've got a crackpot theory that Elnora uploaded herself into the helmet and, with Prospera being her "host". Taking the "Helmet = Bad Guy" archetype to the next level, if you will. :3

2023-01-22 14:46:41 +0000 UTC"I'm trying my best." And you're doing amazing. Truly. You're putting in so many amazing reactions, especially with all you're going through. And you were the person that got me back into anime. I intend to watch Symphogear today to start following along with you :)

2023-01-22 14:37:20 +0000 UTCYes! I caught up before the finale! I'm so glad I decided to watch this show after all! I have this weird hangup of having to do things in order and I've only seen the original Gundam and Gundam Z so I wasn't going to watch this before I'd watched like 35 years worth of Gundam but I decided to make an exception! Man, Suletta's feelings in this episode hit way too close to home. She really do be just like me fr fr. I'm kinda in that mind right now where I feel like I can't do anything right and that everyone would be right to hate me but I'm trying to fight it. I've been there before but I've had better times as well, I'm trying to work on it and I'm gonna start therapy again as well. Hm, maybe that's TMI, oh well. Witch from Mercury feels very different from 80's Gundam but it manages to hit a lot of the same themes as well, it's rather interesting. Original Gundam and Z were both these rather slow war dramas with a lot of politics and people getting caught up in these tragic spirals. G-Witch has that as well but the whole corporate warfare has a very different feel to it. The conflicts between Earthnoids and Spacenoids is alive and well too. The mobile suits in G-Witch are a bit more fantastical as well with the gund units and everything but I appreciate that a lot of the realism of the old shows is left intact. Few sci fi works do zero gravity as well as Gundam and they have mentioned lagrange points of hand as well which is super cool and I love that Gundam uses those real orbital mechanics. Super excited for the finale, haven't seen it yet but I have this sinking feeling that there will be tragedy.

2023-01-22 13:40:25 +0000 UTCThe end credits scene in episode 12 is unforgettable.

2023-01-22 13:27:54 +0000 UTCfrom like ep5-9 you can see their Gundams behind Denning but starting this ep you see Dunning replaced by the two girls from Earth The mom is the OG but what SUletta is unclear. The guy who was on the bigger size was once the pilot of the suit that killed Eris dad

2023-01-22 13:01:54 +0000 UTCProspeara is Elnora she is not lying about that ii think. She is also the developer of the Aerial. If you haven't read Cradle Planet yet, please do is such a nice small piece about Suletta's life on Mercury narrated by Aerial herself.

2023-01-22 12:51:25 +0000 UTCOh BTW, you probably didn’t recognize the dude who’s subordinates were talking shit about him, Kenanji - and many don’t - but you have seen him before in the Prologue. He is the very pilot of that fancy Mobile Suit which Eri’s dad sacrificed himself to stop to save his family.

2023-01-22 11:55:42 +0000 UTCAFAIK they got Hiroyuki Okiura, one of the anime GOAT animators, to do the funny zero G chase scene.

2023-01-22 11:42:54 +0000 UTCFun random info: The show was delayed so this episode ended up airing on Christmas Day (oddly enough, a major romantic holiday in Japan). As a bonus to this delay, the animators actually got some help from other members of their studio who had some time off and came on to help. Notably the crew working on the second Gundam Hathaway movie worked on this episode. That's part of the reason that chase scene looks so god damned good.

2023-01-22 09:47:48 +0000 UTCWatching this series and hearing you go "Oh I know I call them my gaybies but I know it's not true, I just like shipping them" made me smile like crazy...

2023-01-22 09:45:19 +0000 UTCProps for noticing the names of those Gundams. Many speculate that these two Lfriths are the very same units that Eri’s dad and that other lady died in. Those machines weren’t destroyed, so it is possible they were salvaged and ended up with Dawn of Fold and upgraded into their current forms. Though they could be completely different units from the Lfrith series.

2023-01-22 09:30:49 +0000 UTCThe Earthian Witches weren't on the intro until now. This is the third permutation of the intro.

2023-01-22 09:21:21 +0000 UTCSo I doubt this will be of much value to you but this episode was packed full of references to previous works by sunrise. Like when our girls be chasing, the bit with "you and your freakish strength" was a reference to Lelouch from Code Geass which for fans makes them go "Oh she's thr Lelouch thats awesome"...then they sit, and they think...and then they cry going "oh god lelouch". But otherwise everything else is just a visual nod to past series and past works. So while this episode very much is telling its own Gundam story here the amout of thematic and visual callback is really amazing. Also, with the mom and that off putting bit. Think back to the phone conversation and think about all the other times she's talked about her daughter (minus the ep.0) all the love and affection is directed towards the mech where the bits to Sulletta are more teacher to student, or flat out her giving orders.
