Now don’t quote me on the title, that’s what I heard from one of my friends that watches the Gundam series. Let me be honest, I’ve always wanted to get into the Gundam series, but the only one I truly watched and enjoyed was Iron Blooded Orphans, and all I’m really hoping for is that this new Gundam: The Witch From Mercury gives me the same vibes as that one.



Now if I’m being honest, Gundam having their first female lead sounds like a big deal, but in the grand scheme of things, it’s really not. I don’t think Gundam is going to change just because of this, which is a good thing. I don’t think the show is going to be less dark, or not have some kind of political angle just because of a female protagonist. It’s just a cool new aesthetic and nothing more, and that’s how I should be.

If you're looking for something less dark, check this Gundam series out.

Now, depending on how they want to spin it, it could be a political drama about how females aren’t allowed to ride Gundams, and only dicks. Which wouldn’t be a bad thing, depending on how they do it. But overall, I’m hype to see a new Gundam, since I’ve enjoyed Gundam and been having trouble checking out the old ones. I’m interested to see if this can knock Iron Blooded Orphans from my top Gundam anime list (since it’s really my only one). Also, I hope she is the first female Gundam lead, cause if she’s not, I’m going to look real stupid, and have to beat my friend’s ass.

Are you excited for Gundam: The Witch From Mercury? Is this the first female lead in a Gundam series (please say yes)? What’s your favorite Gundam? Tell us in the comments.
