The Weekly Stuff #472 - Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch From Mercury Season 2 Review & Discussion

<p>After checking in on all the recent video games we’ve playing – including <i>Diablo IV, Street Fighter 6, Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, </i>and <i>Final Fantasy XVI – </i>and hearing a very funny <i>Ultraman </i>anecdote from Sean, we dive back into the Weekly Suit Gundam waters with our review of the second and final season of <i>Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch From Mercury. </i>This season brings the story to a close with a rousing, jam-packed set of episodes that’s darker, richer, and more action-filled than the first season. This is the first mainline <i>Gundam</i> series besides <i>Reconguista in G </i>to tell its story in just 2 cours, but that doesn’t mean it’s a thinner or less complicated show, as our super-sized conversation in today’s episode attests to. With so many amazing characters, stellar animation and music, and a story that revisits classic <i>Gundam </i>scenarios and iconography while also challenging and moving beyond them, <i>Witch From Mercury </i>is a show with a lot on its mind, and a lot to break down.  </p><p><strong>Time Chart:</strong></p><p>Intro: 0:00:00 – 0:05:10</p><p>Video Games (Diablo, Zelda, Street Fighter): 0:05:10 – 0:24:52</p><p>Final Fantasy XVI: 0:24:52 – 0:39:36</p><p>Ultraman: 0:39:36 – 0:49:53</p><p>G-Witch: 0:49:53 – 3:47:35 </p><p>Support the show at Ko-fi ☕️ <a href="https://ko-fi.com/weeklystuff">https://ko-fi.com/weeklystuff</a></p><p>Subscribe to JAPANIMATION STATION, our sister series about the wide, wacky world of anime: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/c/japanimationstation">https://www.youtube.com/c/japanimationstation</a>  </p><p>Explore our archives and subscribe to The Weekly Stuff Podcast on all podcasting platforms:</p><p><a href="https://weeklystuffpodcast.com/">https://weeklystuffpodcast.com</a></p><p>Follow <i>The Weekly Stuff Wordcast </i>newsletter for regular updates and extra content! </p><p><a href="https://weeklystuff.substack.com/">https://weeklystuff.substack.com</a></p><p>Ending music by Thomas Lack <a href="https://www.thomaslack.com/">https
