Comic Con Panel Confirms Simulcast for ‘Gundam: The Witch From Mercury’

Gundam’s upcoming anime series, The Witch From Mercury, has become the hottest topic among weebs, and it rightfully deserves the hype.

The show has become so popular that it has a panel at Comic-Con. Since it’s Gundam, you know it will reveal some exciting stuff.

Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch From Mercury panel at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con International has revealed that the anime will be simulcast outside Japan in October.

Along with this, the panel also hosted the English-subtitled debut of Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch From Mercury Prologue.

The prequel ONA premiered on July 14 and became an instant hit in Japan. Now that the English-subtitled version is out, I can only imagine the massive praise it will receive.

Coming to the main series, it is the fifteenth anime series in Gundam’s main storyline after Iron-Blooded Orphans. By the looks of it, I’m pretty sure this one will break records.

Moreover, the story is really intriguing, and the promotional media have taken our expectations to a new high. It will take Gundam in a highly political direction, with protests and capitalism as some of its themes.

After seven years, Gundam returns with an anime series, along with its first female protagonist.

I’m surprised how the fandom is not creating absolute chaos on the internet over this.
