Having watched the prologue and episodes one and two of Witch From Mercury this weekend with my gundam-crazed friend Robert, here are our First Impressions.
"“We’re Impressed”!
After having come off the DISASTEROUS disappoints of the recent Gundam shows where Gundam is turned into nothing more than a game, and the recent encounter with Iron-Blooded Orphans which left a bad taste in our mouths, Witch From Mercury seems (at first glance) to be the rebirth of Gundam the way it should be: a WAR story that involves complex issues, hi-tech weaponry (the Gundams), politics and (very importantly), the “Not-So-Black-And-White” lives of the people caught up in it. So our first impression is that this show might be able to live up to it’s heritage and the respected name of MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM!
