The Prologue episode of the upcoming Mobile Suit Gundam anime series, The Witch From Mercury, is currently available for free to stream over on the official GundamInfo YouTube Channel. Or, you know, you can watch the whole prologue episode below and save yourself a couple of clicks.
At Fólkvangr, a front constructed inside an asteroid, the Gundam Lfrith is undergoing operating tests in the Vanadis Institute’s laboratory. The Lfrith has not yet managed to meet the conditions imposed by the council, and test pilot Elnora Samaya is growing impatient. That same day, her daughter is celebrating her fourth birthday…
The Witch from Mercury, which is the first new series in nearly seven or so years, is set to release later this year in October and follows a girl named Suletta Mercury from Mercury who transfers to the Asticassia School of Technology. The school, which is run by the Beneritt Group, operates and leads the industry in mobile suit tech.
The series is scheduled to release on the JNN starting in October each and every Sunday at 5:00p. There are no release dates for streaming outside of Japan just yet but the official website says that there are Simulcast plans for access outside of Japan so presumably, episodes will readily be available. For Japanese speakers, at least. Whether or not they will come with English subtitles is not yet known.
