Yet, you’d be surprised to know that the franchise hasn’t released any new anime since 2015. Mobile Suit Gundam is finally making a fresh comeback with a brand new series this year.

Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch From Mercury will be the latest addition to the long-standing franchise and will be released in October 2022. A specific date has not been announced yet, but I expect it to be out soon.

The new series will be broadcasted on MBS/TBS’ Nichi-5 slot on Sundays. MBS has also revealed a new video which gives us a rundown of the famous anime that have been aired in this slot.

Some of the most well-known series like Code Geass, Fullmetal Alchemist, Haikyu!!, The Seven Deadly Sins, Kingdom, and several Gundam installations have been broadcasted during this slot.

The video ends by announcing the upcoming anime, Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch From Mercury, that will grace the slot with its presence.

The new series comes with a brand-new plot, characters, and Gundam models. So, after seven years of not receiving any new series, I am looking forward to a show-stopping debut.

Although no plot or trailers have been revealed yet, the anticipation around the anime is already high. Will The Witch From Mercury write a new chapter in the military science fiction genre? This fall will definitely bring some answers.

About Gundam

The Gundam series is a science fiction anime created by Yoshiyuki Tomino and Sunrise, featuring huge robots, known as “Gundam.”

The series changes its setting in each part, ranging from Earth to far-off planets. All the shows have their own story, and some of them take place in an alternative universe.

In every story, Gundam has unique purposes. Sometimes it’s a deadly war weapon, sometimes a beautiful art or sometimes even an outdated technology.
