And Now My Thoughts On The Gundam: The Witch From Mercury Mobile Suits.

And now my thoughts on the Gundam: The Witch from Mercury Mobile suits.

I found myself quite liking the Dilanza Sol, it seeming to be shaping up as the Zaku analogue, with multiple variations.

The New Lfrith’s (the Lfrith Thorn and Lfrith Ur) are an utter treat. I particularly love the Thorn’s gremlin stature and beam launcher/shotgun hybrid. I don’t normally go for paired units, but I think I may make an exception here.

ChuChu’s Demi trainer and Guel’s Darilbalde are odd cases, because I think in both terms I like them more on the strength of their pilots than on the individual machines. I’ll probably have stronger opinions once the series has ended.

The Pharact’s just ok. I’m fairly ambivalent towards it, though that’s at least partially because I fully expect we’ll see an upgrade to it. Another unit that’s more on the strength of its pilots than anything.

And finally we come to the elephant in the room.

The Aerial Rebuild. I don’t dislike it per se, I just definitely prefer the standard Aerial to it. I do like the wings, but there’s so many cool weapon systems in G-witch that a beam mega launcher (or whatever equivalent weapon that is) doesn’t excite me as much as it ordinarily would. I do also (usually) like my Gundams to have more colours than just blue and white (I know there’s some very small bits of red and yellow on there, but I find they get lost in all the blue). I do, however, like the head. The fact that we’re getting an upgrade this early in the game does make me think that we might be due for one new upgrade a season though, meaning that we might end up with four Aerials to choose from (plus the original Lfrith), so I’m not concerned.

Finally, we do know that we’re going to be getting at least one new Gundam next season, the Gundam Schwarzette (And some other unit that looks like a mass-production type to me).
