Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch From Mercury has become a hit. Introducing anime viewers and mech fans to Suletta Mercury, the first female protagonist of the mech franchise, the latest television series is aiming to end its second season with a bang. Before we once again bid a fond farewell to this new Gundam universe, a new trailer has arrived that gives mech fans a closer look as to how season 2 will come to a close. Considering the mech battles that we’ve seen so far, The Witch From Mercury has a high bar to clear.
The latest Gundam series was specifically created in an effort to bring in young audiences, and from the popularity of the new story, it would seem that the mech franchise has achieved its goal. One of the biggest pieces of merchandise that have helped push Gundam to the forefront is the Gundam plastic models, which have sold over five hundred million units to date. Thanks to the arrival of The Witch From Mercury, Bandai Namco has seen a major rise in merchandise affiliated with the long-running mech series. At present, The Witch From Mercury has yet to confirm that a third season will be on the way, though considering Suletta Mercury’s popularity, it wouldn’t come as a surprise.
