Mobile Suit Gundam : The Witch from Mercury is the latest entry in the long-running Gundam Saga. It’s been a while since Gundam has produced a “classic” TV-show, seven years actually, since the last series were Gunpla-based stories (like the Gundam Build series) and the rest of the productions were movies/OVA. The Witch from Mercury is quite an innovative series for the franchise because it’s the first TV series to feature a female protagonist (but not the first Gundam show to do it). Also, it’s setting is different from the traditional Gundam show since it’s based on financial, companies, emerging technologies, corruption, capitalism and revenge instead of the usual war between colonies and nations. The series premiered in October 2022 and started with a prologue episode, then 12 episodes ending on a second season announcement.

La Saga Gundam et moi, c’est une vieille histoire qui remonte à 20 ans désormais (oh bordel..). Malheureusement, je m’en suis un peu éloigné depuis quelques années car les récentes productions ne m’intéressaient pas. La dernière série TV de la licence qu’on pourra qualifier de “standard” est Gundam Iron-blooded Orphans sortie en 2015. Après ça, Sunrise a enchaîné les série Gundam Build ou encore les SD Gundam qui pour moi sont plus des accessoires qu’autre chose. En parallèle il y a évidemment eu quelques OVA ou films avec Gundam Unicorn et Gundam Narrative, mais ils m’ont horriblement déçu. Il n’y a que l’adaptation animée deGundam The Origin qui m’a vraiment marqué ces denières années. A côté de ça, j’attends toujours de voir la suite de l’adaptation animée de Gundam Thunderbolt, dont il n’y a plus vraiment de nouvelles alors que cette production était tout simplement géniale.
