There are also some anime that will be airing their first episodes in the near future. Among them, we would like to review one particularly highly anticipated anime this time!

If you haven't watched its first half of the season, you should watch it right now! This spring anime is especially popular in Japan!

【Gundam】The second half of the season will start airing on April 9! Don't miss the most anticipated Spring 2023 Anime! This anime is drawing the most public attention before it starts airing!

Now, finally, the long-awaited second half of the season begins on April 9!

However, some of you reading this article may not have seen the first half of the season yet! If possible, I'd like you to actually watch it, but I'm sure some of you don't have the time to check it out.

In this article, we will quickly review the Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury to find out why it is attracting so much attention!!

Why did Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury become so popular?
There are three key factors that made it a hit!!

The biggest point! It is interesting even if you don't know Gundam (no prior knowledge required)!

First of all, I think this is the biggest reason why it was a hit! It's Gundam, but you don't have to know Gundam to enjoy it!

When people hear the name “Gundam anime,” many people shy away from it, thinking, “It's a series with a long history, and I don't know much about Gundam.” But don't worry! The producers of this anime are well aware of this fact! “They created an anime that even people who don't know Gundam will find interesting once they start watching it!” The story structure is ingenious!

Of course, the Gundam appears in the anime and is an important element, but how it is important is explained in the story, so you don't need to know anything about it at first! As the producers hope, this anime can be easily viewed by those who are unfamiliar with the previous series!

The story is well written! The first 12 episodes of the season were spectacular and I looked forward to them every week!

There is one more point that made it a hit! The story is simply interesting!

To give a very rough description, it is the story of a girl from Mercury, a remote area, who enrolls in a pilot training school along with a Gundam!

However, the school is not a peaceful place, with conspiracies by the school administrators and prejudice and disparity among ethnic groups. Despite these circumstances, the main character, Suletta Mercury, gradually makes friends with the people around her with her natural straightforward personality!

Suletta becomes especially close to Miorine Rembran through various incidents! She is the daughter of the principal, so she is determined to be the bride of the most powerful pilot in the school. Miorine-San is indeed a princess of the school...... but she decides how she wants to live her life! She is a very good character who tries to accomplish even the most absurd things without hesitation!

Characters are attractive! I like that as the story progresses, even the characters I dislike become more likeable!

The above two factors alone are quite interesting, but in addition to this, the characters are wonderfully attractive!

Not all of the students are kind and good, but the various characters gradually change and grow through the various events that occur in the school. Especially characters whose parents are related to the school or have great influence over the school are struggling to live the life they really want to live. It is very good to see them trying their best to be themselves in such a situation!

Many people who recommend The Witch from Mercury say that the character Guel is great! I agree with them! Guel was the strongest pilot in the school, but was defeated by Suletta. His father is angry with him, and he feels ashamed of his position in the school.

With Guel having lost the elements that used to protect him, Guel will have to face what he can do on his own and his own thoughts and ideas! He is young and has a stubborn personality, so he is in some ways very immature, but he also has a pure side to him that is very sweet! As the story progresses, you get more and more attached to the characters! There are quite a few such wonderful characters!

●Guel lost the duel and was kicked out, so he started camping solo. He is tough!

What kind of future awaits the students who live in the midst of intersecting speculations and intrigues?

In the first 12 episodes, the students were having a good time at the school (......or were they?). They were living a typical student life that wasn't that cutthroat. Then they get involved in a big conspiracy.

Episode 12, the final episode of the first half of the season, caused a stir in Japan for portraying an outrageous C-part.

The fans who have been waiting several months since that 12th episode C-part are now looking forward to the second half, which will begin on April 9. Can't wait to see the rest of it! Me too! This Gundam is really easy to understand and above all, interesting, so if you haven't seen it yet, I urge you to watch the first half in the few days you have left! I'm pretty excited about it too, so let's enjoy the second half of the season together!!

Okay, that is all for today! I will see you in the next article!!

See you soon!!
