Suletta and Miorine in Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch From Mercury

What’s it about: Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch From Mercury centers on the technology behind the mechanical behemoths being intergalactically outlawed despite their therapeutic uses, but the real heart of Gundam’s drama is the romantic relationship between Suletta Mercury and Miorine Rembran. Much like in Revolutionary Girl Utena, Suletta and Miorine’s relationship is routinely put to the test in a series of duels for Miorine’s hand in marriage. Instead of fighting for love like Suletta, Marine’s would-be suitors fight for the lofty prize of marrying into Miorine’s tech-giant family. Basically, G Witch is Succession but with mechs and gay girls.

Suletta and Mioirine’s blossoming romance is often called into question because of the larger political drama at play between their out-of-touch parents in G Witch. Really, that’s the prevalent struggle in every queer relationship. Luckily, Gundam even fed viewers with illustrations of the two going on dates accompanied by audio of their Japanese voice actors to tide viewers over before the series descends further into the pain and heartache of its mecha-melodramatic second season.
