| Miorine really is something else...if there's any character who is smart and clever, she's up there on that list. Plus, she serves as an important guide for Suletta from this episode to prove her worth. I really hope Suletta learns a few things from her down the line. |
 |
| Guel confirmed Tsundere, and the title was unexpectedly literal, lmao |
| “Ha ha, the synergy between my left and right hand made them feel scared.” Ye Xiu said. |
| That was a very bad experience for Suletta. Everything that has happened so far was not the things that she want from attending the school. Nice job Chuchu! Those sh!t deserved it. Punch them as hard as you can. Let's beat them into a pulp. |
何それ？意味分かんない  |
| I am starting to sense some death flags on Nika and Chuchu....they are good target to kill off to drive Suletta of the edge in the future. (since they probably don't kill Miorine) I hope I am wrong. |
| I will continue using Universal Century terminologies in Witch From Mercury. ;) Spacenoids exploiting Earthnoids? That is new in Gundam. Most of the time it is people from Earth migrating to space colonies due to Earth's overpopulation. Looks like it will escalate into another Earthnoids / Spacenoids war. Hopefully, no Operation British in this one. Like most other Gundam, Spacenoids have superior technlogy as compared to Earthnoids. I am thinking about Raraiya when they mentioned "Chuchu". :| Like most other Gundam anime, the Gundam mechanic Nika is very likeable. Probably the most likeable Gundam mechanic after Kid Salsamille from After War Gundam X. |

| Her place as Holder is set, now her phase-shift uniform becomes white as it should. Guel is tsundere. Now we know the names of more Earth House members! Another goat in Gundam! Cucuruz Doan's Island has Blanca, Earth House has Giko. "Space Capitalism kills Earthian workers", Okouchi isn't subtle is he? Spacians is a broad term though. Among Spacians, Mercurian seems bottom rung, being labelled miners. Before Suletta enrolled, Guel, Elan and Shaddiq were Miorine's unwanted harem. Imagine if by the end of this, Suletta's gonna take all of them from Miorine. Looks like Chuchu was talking to Earth House members' parents including who might be her dad? If they are Earthian factory workers, I'm worried some tragedy may hit them, causing Chuchu to seek revenge. Teachers don't do anything about sabotage. Get a fist full of justice, Spacians! |
 Novels I have read/am reading pending approval: since November 10 2022 |
| i like Chuchu she punches the bullies |
| Kinda sucks that she keeps failing. She was locked up on her first day, so of course she wouldn't know anything. Good thing Miomio and the Earthian kids are there to help. What's a mob to a mobile suit. Jeez. It was tear gas but still overkill. So that's why there is such a clash between Earthians and Spacians. Interesting. On another note, Chuchu knocking those girls out surprised me. Knocking out someone in one punch. Have to agree with Nika, that was satisfying. |
| My God was that punch satisfying. Chuchu is officially best girl |
| Quite a frustrating episode, hang in there Suletta. Also great job Chuchu. |
 |
| Chuchu is a strong girl. Suletta joins the Earth house. Since Miorine wants to go to Earth shouldn't she join as well. |
When someone asks me why I like anime, I'd say Just Because. |
| The yuri grows stronger episode by episode, they're literally living together now and it's so good I'm also super interested in seeing how far they go with talking about the militarization of police, media in the hands of capital, and general class warfare. I'm definitely siding with Chuchu a lot here, and I expect she'll realize that the whole Earthians vs Spacians tension is set up to make lower-class folks fight amongst themselves instead of against the people who actually hold the power. Even though most all of the Spacians at Asticassia are from upper-class families, that doesn't mean all of them are - workers get exploited no matter where they live. Also huge shoutouts to the animation when Chuchu was beating those assholes up, it felt super weighty and satisfying! |
 |
| Talk shit get hit. That was one hell of a punch, knocked the prick out cold with a swing. |
| Proposal? Hell nah, I'm getting the heck outta here. Chuchu is beyond based. No warning, no nothing, straight to throwing hands. Bitch had it coming. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Ok, im warming up to Chuchu a lot, shes got a mean punch to her Its good that the Guel proposal is off the table, its Mio Mio or nothing.... lol |
| Damn, that punch was so satisfactory to watch. Screw you prankesters. |

| god damn Racism!! Nice Punch Chuchu... that end card Art was CLEAN!! |
 |
| sometimes characteristic from suletta very annoying and sucks !! |
| Isn't kinda design flaw the Mobile Suits having just one central camera, and no backup? Like you lose your vision and that's it in a battle. Basic trope that people that live on Earth and Off-world are racist to each other. |
 |
| I didn't like Chuchu to begin with. But then she showed us her mean right jab and now I'm fan. Loud bullies are not so vocal when they get a serving of knuckles in the face. |
| "Perhaps there is a universal, absolute truth. Perhaps it justifies every question. But that's beyond the reach of these small hands." Mamoru Oshii There is a cult of ignorance (...) nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that “my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.” Isaac Asimov |
| Those punches to the bullies felt GOOD. Chuchu’s a real one, although quite prickly |
| This episode was nice in a way. Though I agree that Suletta stuttering is a little too much. As for the Earthians and Spacians thing. To think Earth is being in bad shape and those who live on Earth are treated bad. Dang that is too much. Spacian bullies got what they had coming. Sabotaging the machine so they are blind and they fail. Suletta is already at her mental limit. Man that hurt. Seeing those Spacians get what they have coming is freaking awesome. Why does Suletta have to be so dang pure and innocent to break it up? Anyways. Chu-Chu really did a good solid for Suletta. If I see someone who was responsible for bullying I would give them a peace of my mind. |
| Chuchu has dumb hair but a great right hook! I'm happy to see her bringing a bit of pain to those scrubs.

Not like they haven’t said this already for the previous episodes) WhY dOeS eVeRyThInG hAvE tO bE sO pOlItICaL?!?! 😭😭😭. WhY cAnT I jUsT eNjOy tHe rAcIsM?!?! 😭😭😭 Honestly (and thankfully) the crying about Gundam going """woke""" hasn't been as bad as I was expecting, but I think that's been because said crowd has been more focused trying to desperately convince everyone that Mio Mio and Suletta have 0% chance to end up together. |
 |
| These racist bitches are annoying, especially aiming Suletta as well because she's friend with earthling people :S At least they deserved these punches, Chuchu is really cool xD |
 |
We need to talk about this...  |
| Oh, I think I get it. Everyone in the cast so far has something they're fighting in their personal lives, but they either cope with it, run away, or lash out helplessly. Meanwhile there's Suletta, a shy and timid girl from the space boonies, who comes in as a complete nobody and is immediately subject to bureaucratic scrutiny and threats of expulsion and worse. However, she tells everyone that it's fine to run away, as that means you can survive for another day. In the same breath, she says it's even better if you can fight, as even if you lose, you can learn and gain experience. She backs up her piloting confidence with actual results, but she's also humble, caring, and overly considerate. For this dysfunctional cast of students and power-hungry parents, Suletta seems like a perfectly crafted character made to fit into everyone's lives, much like a tailor-made jigsaw piece. Maybe she's a bit too perfect? It's hard to say at this point, but that mix of confidence and timidness is certainly unique. Then again, it's also possible that Suletta's confidence is due to her trust in Aerial. I'm assuming at some point, Aerial could be taken away or destroyed, which may be Suletta's breaking point. Now, speaking of contrasting traits, the character design for Suletta is kind of interesting. I'd normally consider red hair to be assigned to the more hot-blooded or outspoken types of characters, if just going by how anime normally handles red-haired characters. They also tend to stand out more in a crowd, making them visually pop on screen. Suletta has some social anxieties, but she doesn't necessarily run away from social contact. She seems like she wants to talk to others, but doesn't know how. Despite constantly hiding, averting eye contact, and lowering her voice to a stuttering whisper whenever spoken to, she's still excited to be in public and see the world. However, due to her piloting skills and her unique mecha, she stands out, despite Suletta seemingly just wanting to live a normal school life. It's possible that her character design intends to make her visually unique and stand out, and it purposefully runs in contrast with her timid personality. At the same time, her story is about just wanting to live a normal school life, but she's unwittingly forced into the spotlight due to a corporate and political power struggle. |
| Hmm Holders sure get some neat perks. Using simulated mines in order to learn how to use radar and listen to orders is an interesting idea. But its nice to see there are also moderates like Nika within the school as well. Given the pranks I expected that ChuChu wouldn't be pleased but her reaction sure was a bit over the top. Never thought I'll see MS being used as riot control though. The makeup exam though did well to showcase not only Miorine's knowledge of MS but also her skill at coordinating as well not to mention the school rules fluidity regarding retries. Have to say Chuchu and Suletta bonded in the most unusual way but those two pranksters deserved being thrashed. Overall an excellent ep that featured a good balance of lore and narrative expansion while also introducing some new friends to Suletta and Miorine. To me it looks like the people of earth are being oppressed quite heavily even though earth would have been the origin for all humans. |

| Why is this series so half assed, devoid of those kino Gundam politics I loved, and full of generic school shit shenanigans and a half assed generic chaotic racism between these Spacians and Earthians? This is just completely underwhelming, the Prologue was great and Episode 2 was a step up in the good direction, but the last 2 episodes have been completely abhorrent, boring and plain bad. |

Devoid of politics? What show did you watch? The ''generic chaotic racism'' was also present in Hathaway's Flash, and if you watched that movie you know what happens next. Personally I prefer subtle politics over really obvious in your face ''game of throne'' style politics, but I guess we all have our preferences. I do think some people become dumb after seeing ''school'' and then turn their brain off after going ''its school, it must be bad''. But not surprised to see a few reactions like this, since its well known some people really hate school settings out of principle. If you feel that way its better to drop the show untill the inevitable ''you thought it was about school, but actually its about war'' plot twist comes around. |

The way Suletta acts outside of Aerial makes me think of Sora and Shiro from No Game no Life, when they arent together. Complete badasses together, but completely hopeless when apart. |

| Ayo, bitches got KNOCKED THE FUCK OUT! Chuchu is now my favorite by far. Hair like a poodle, but the attitude of a Chihuahua mixed with the actual fighting ability of a pit bull. Suletta just needs some confidence, and what better way to earn it than a few good friends backing her up? She's getting there, I promise. With Mio supporting her, Mika standing up for her, and even the rabid floof Chuchu warming up to her a little, they're setting up the core group of companions that will help her learn and grow into a fine protagonist. I'm expecting less stuttering shrinking violet and more headstrong red rose as time goes on. Even Guel seems to be thinking about her, whether he wants to or not. Lol tsundere |
