Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury
Getting into the Gundam series is as intimidating as reading all of One Piece for the first time simply by virtue of its years of dense intergalactic politics interwoven through a swath of spin-offs and continuations. Luckily, Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury serves not only as a great introductory point to the series for newbies but also as a wholesome palate cleanse by way of the blossoming romance between its stammering protagonist Suletta Mercury and her bride Miorine Rembran
Witch from Mercury comprises all the political intrigue and backstage politicking the series is known with the added bonus of being told through the lens of a shojo romance like Revolutionary Girl Utena. Just replace RGU’s magical chest swords with 2D animated mecha battles, and you’ve got G Witch. If you still need more convincing to watch this gem of a show, check out this clip of one of its characters absolutely decking her classmate for talking shit about Suletta. You’re welcome.
