From TL, they're advertising that they'll be selling Suletta's room wear, but a nice new illustration.

Due to Covid stuff, the release of episode 12 on some Japanese streaming services will be delayed. The television airing will go as usual, and presumably the Crunchyroll upload as well, considering that this is an exclusively Japanese tweet.

I have had to spend the past few months living with the looming spectre of some twisted delivery of "Happy Birthday" coming on my actual birthday this Sunday from this show, they better loving deliver on it. :colbert:

They would have said by now if it were, so likely no.

The reason for the delay in Japanese streaming seems to be that the streaming services had a slightly earlier deadline to turn in the masters than the network did.

This is for the gundaminfo stream so it's not for North America but we can bet that the CR stream should be fine as well.

Now the question is do I stay up until it airs or do I try to catch a few winks first...

That was a pretty great season finale. There's a sense of tension all throughout the episode because you've got no clue how the dice will fall for the characters. drat, poor Bob needs a hug so bad. :smith:

The after-credits scene gave me the chills. We've seen Prospera's gaslighting and manipulation of Suletta all throughout the season and it all finally came to a head in the most horrifying way possible. Suletta was very much traumatized upon seeing a dead person for the first time, and the way Prospera twists her saying to make Suletta think it's okay to kill people is just wrong on so many levels, goddamn.

The wait for the 2nd cour is gonna be so rough. I just wanna see what happens next!

Suletta Slap-etta

Bright Noa has got some competition.


Well, poo poo. That ended sooner than I expected it to and went in some ways I anticipated and others I did... not.

Fuuuuucking hell this is gonna be a long wait until April.

The Llfriths use the older Permet Score system (though it CAN bypass Antidote countermeasures if it's pushed far enough) and Sophie does refer to Suletta and Aerial as "big sister." I know she's become kinda clingy and unhinged around the Aerial but I'm convinced there's a bigger link now. Also Sophie can push Permet Score 4 and almost die, but not quite.

Also Masami motherfucking Obari contributed to this episode.

Shatner voice: "My friends, we've come home."

Also, https://g-witch.net/mobile-suit/17/ if you use the machine translation, they've updated the Japanese page for the Llfrith Ur. It is derived from the mass production Llfriths, the ones that got delivered before the prologue, and specifically calls the prologue the Vanadis Incident as a result.

so that settles that, prologue is 21 years ago and Suletta is some Manchurian Candidate Bioshock trigger word SOMETHING.

Like, this is gonna have to start up right where that scene left off or shortly afterward, right? You can't just end it there and not have Suletta's immediate reaction to being called a murderer. I wonder if she'll snap out of her happy face fugue state.

Something tells me that next cour Delling will remain indisposed and Miorine will be thrust into the role of figurehead for the Benerit Group, causing the other companies to redouble their efforts to seize control. And Prospera will just whisper into Suletta's ear and turn her into the company executioner.

Well that sure was a way to end a cour and demonstrate this is, in fact, a Gundam series... :suspense:

I'm still pretty drat sure Suletta's artificial now after that, because that was a pretty hard switch from "I'm terrified, oh no, I might have to kill people... :ohdear:", To eagerly delivering a slap Bright would be proud of. You'd expect her to do it as a last resort, or shoot with the rifle or G-Bit after trying to get them to stand down. Not that :stonk:. Something in Prospera's little hand-strokes feels important, reaffirming conditioning, or new hypnotic/conditional programming of some kind, because it's like Suletta's gone full Mikazuki on a dime.

The Aerial's also changed with her; Before she was mostly piloting the suit conventionally, as A Mobile Suit. Now, she's clearly more integrated into it and getting recon information from the G-Bits (I'm pretty certain they're not letting us see her screens so you assume that's what's giving her info, when there's actually nothing on them. She's getting that info directly linked into her head as a part of the whole Aerial Gundam). There's also a new open question with the Aerial; The beam's not for combat? Then what the gently caress is that thing for? Because that's a bit much for Permet mining, I'd have thought.

She also have a very specific, and clearly faked, "Mom Voice" she uses for controlling Suletta compared to how she talks to the one person bullshit probably won't work on (Belmeria).

Okay, I'm definitely thinking now that after all the Utena stuff, what G-witch actually is is a spiritual sequel to Planetes. I'm intensely reminded of (Planetes) Hachimaki's confrontation with Hakim near the end, and the theme there of Hachimaki's idea that in order to keep moving forward, you have to become someone, some animal who can kill and feel about as much emotion about it as "swatting a fly".

Both Setsuna's and Mikazuki's backstory very much show that in Gundam you don't have to be a robot to be a ruthless killer, no reason for Suletta not be human when Prospera had her while life to brainwash her

Im sure Suletta could have talked down the guy that was in essentially a suicide mission since he had no means to return as he went from a low ready gun position to a ready position about to shoot the guy that he already said was going to shoot.

Oh I see! This must be the Bad Opinion Zone!
I really don't think some random aside comment from Prospera proves some Suletta != Eri thing. It merely shows that Prospera is alienated from Suletta in a strong sense. The explanation for that doesn't have be mechanical (metaphorically or literally), if anything it makes the most sense for it to be emotional. Specifically, the way that Miorine sees Suletta kill someone with a smile calls back to Elnora seeing Eri kill people with a smile. If Elnora started seeing Eri as something of a monster and not really her child after that, it would mirror (and eventually contrast) the very likely upcoming rift between Miorine and Suletta over the Splat incident.

lol i was definitely expecting suletta to have to kill to save miorine but not to have it be that weird. surely suletta should at least be freaking out too about killing someone rather than "i'm so clumsy haha"

lmao at how vim died

the show has been teasing suletta != eri so hard that whatever answer we get isn't just going to be "oh her age is weird due to cryogenics" or the other fairly mundane ways people have speculated for suletta = eri to make sense. if they do anything like that there still has to be more to the story to make it an interesting reveal.
