It was funny how the cour ended on this and the marketing had the tonal whiplash of some engagement tour until the second cour. Canon Miorine was having a horrified mental breakdown while Suletta's MK Ultra programming was active. G-Witch really messed up a lot of the good things it created in the second cour. It was building itself up so much to an actual confrontation between Suletta trying to have her own unimpeded free will vs. a thoroughly villainous Prospera who sacrificed her own kids.

I wish they'd committed to "Prospera is legitimately encouraging her daughter" or "Prospera has brainwashed her into a killing machine" or even both lol. Any more focus on how fucked up Prospera and Sulettas relationship was would be nice.

I find it very hard to figure out her motivation in the second season of the series. It always just seems that she's just going through the motions. Even the gundam company thing in the first season is a bit tenuous because it feels like she was pushed into that direction by circunstance.
The yuri twist at the ending also makes no goddamn sense considering that she barely interacted with Suletta in the second season other than humilliating her and calling her names.
It seems like they tried to cram 2-3 seasons of plot in 12 episodes in S2. Everything is half-baked. Prospera, the earth plot, Miorine, Jetturk and the Schwarzette (lol), the retarded council thing. The only thing that was handled well was the graslly thing. But I still think it's a pretty fun series.

They just basically pulled the most cowardly way out of the cliffhanger by skipping over and then never having her act like that ever again, with it just result in some minor tension for a while, and it was mostly focused on her following her mother's orders.

I generally enjoyed tWfM, but backing out from that cliffhanger's implications was by far the worst choice they could have made.

Tried my best to get into it but couldn't get into it. Watched it with a buddy and, to my shame, quit mid episode 2 (technically 1, idk how the prologue counts). Lost my shit when picrel claimed himself to be head of the duelling club or some shit, and new I could never take it seriously. The animation was also choppy and shit.

That said he has the only design I like in the show and his suit is fucking sick. He should've been the protagonist.

I think this show turned me off anything Yuri forever.
They had a whole new Gundam universe to explore ideas with and did pretty much nothing. It doesn't reinvent the franchise in any particular way, it doesn't even commit to the Yuri plotline in the end, and then it just ENDED. They don't even seem to be doing anything with the universe apart from spinoff manga, although after the second cour I think I'm honestly happier with this outcome.
Seasonal moetrash at its purest.
>>
>>22837502
But there’s no yuri for most of the show. It’s literally there only between episodes 2-8ish and out of nowhere in the very last. They had no chemistry at all, it was such a weird choice.
>>
>>22837552
Makes dogshit show, no one talks about it because le yuri because two women are randomly kind of together at the end of it. If they were smart enough to do that then good for them.

I feel like it's a general Japanese fiction thing, or maybe fiction as a whole. Like, the longer something goes, the more likely it is that the original ideas might be forgotten. Naruto might be a great example.
>>
>>22837552
More like they made a somewhat bland romance. Which is odd, because otherwise the entire show is a solid backstory as to how Suletta and Miorine became best friends, before being lovers.

I swear to god, this show relied heavily on the teasing of the main pair without even committing to show us properly a good writing in romance.

I dont know. I also don't know why they bothered teasing Suletta and Guel for like 3 episodes in the second season (more than what Miorine got). Just a red herring, I guess.

The school stuff was fine. A bit of slow burn before things explode. A calm before the storm in the form the plant quetta attack that prompts a greater focus on a conflict only hinted at through words of discrimination. Season 2 dropped the ball though.
>>
I finally finished the last 6 episodes while clearing my backlog of WfM kits. Dropped it during airing since I couldn't keep invested in the writing and didn't bother to keep up with the threads. So I'm curious how was the general reaction of the final few episodes?

I liked it from the beginning to the end despite not being a leftist yuritard. I think it's a fine show that can stand on its legs on its own, but suffers from an audience of fans and haters that fail to understand it.

>>22860344

>>
>>22854122
It was mixed, but generally people liked it. Some thought it could have been better, and some absolutely hated it. The build-up to episode 24 was more mixed, though, since some yuritards wanted more yuri interactions, and some oldfags wished more fights.
>>
>>22860348
Huh, well I guess chalk me up to those that disliked it I guess. All the lazy writing kinda had me yelling at the screen whenever something dumb happened

Liked it but like most shows it seemed rushed to get to its ending once it was close to the end. I liked the slower pace of the start of the show because it made the later events more impactful and gave time to do character stuff. I'm generally not a fan of "delet this" endings where something is simply removed from the setting in a burst of friendship magic, but it does alleviate power creep.

The only thing I want for a follow-up to the show is to dive deep into the societal issues in the setting. We got a tiny peek at it during Guel's arc on Earth and sprinkled here and there in the series. We get to see that the school is a feeder program for corporate militaries and it's deeply tied with the same societal issues but we don't really get anything about it. An ongoing theme of the show seems to be children losing their childhoods to conflicts, either by being forced to participate or being bystanders. I think the setting has a lot of room to grow into and that's without including anything about cybernetics and ethical questionability of GUND technology.
>>
Wait the yuri isn't even in the show it's just engagement bait? You're telling me Witch from Mercury is Gundam Korra?
>>
>>22860502
Look, Grendizer U was written by the same guy of WFM and both show has the same issues but a little part of WFM is decent because there were sub-writers, like the one who is writing the spin-off manga.

>>
>>22860658
>>22860660
Which episode, because I might have skipped it.
>>
>>22860686
Literally nothing. It doesn't have real consequences since there was a time-skip and the girls were apart for that time, the only thing that trigger (but anything could at this point, since miorine interacted more with prospera) is questioning suletta's fucked up relationship with her mother.
>>
I love 0079 and it makes me so mad people get into Gundam through absolutely mediocre crap like G-Witch. It is offensive how milquetoast this show is. If G-Witch was my first show I would have dropped this franchise like dead fucking weight.
>>
>>22860691
They play a flashback of it when Suletta and Prospera have a heart to heart afterwards. They show her splattering the guy with a restaurateur filter while sappy family music plays. Honestly I doubt that contrast was on purpose given how emotionally tonedeaf the rest of the show was
>>
>>22860686
They brush it off after like 2 episodes
>>
>>22860702
The forced drama was so cheap and not even written well. People were so mad at the girls being separated but even that turned to nothing, we just needed miorine to flop her masterplan to go back to square one and not even say sorry kek
>>
>>22860686
It leads to Miorine becoming scared of Suletta’s relationship with Prospera and devising a stupid plan to break them up that ends up causing the rest of the show to happen, people who say it gets forgotten about weren’t actually paying attention
>>
>>22860502
I wouldn't like it if it's the same writer. Seems like he relies on coincidences to make the characters he created cross path. There's less tension in the final arc since I felt like anything will happen since the show wanted to tie loose ends and will use whatever convenient way to do it.
>>
>>22860595
Okouchi helped with scripts but Grendizer U is mostly Fukuda.

Okouchi is listened in all the official news before the broadcast as "writing and overseeing the series scripts".
About Fukuda as a matter of fact is the Chief Director while Shun Kudo is the Director
