    This video was exactly what I was looking for. After watching the season I was still unsure of certain plots. You excellently explained the story so far and I appreciated the "fan conspiracies" as well. So much better than other reviews that focused too much on LGBTQ+ themes and not the story. I can't wait for your next one

    I was so distracted by the SFX of Aerial's shield and beam rifle along with the BGM that when Season 2 aired, I was very much out of loop of the main story.

    April really cannot come fast enough. Also there is yet more imagery in the extended animation video for the opening Shukufuku, which everybody should check out along the short novel Cradle Planet.

    The biggest giveaway Eri is not Suletta is that Suletta never had the facial glow of red or blue that gund format pilots too. Aerial does but suletta doesn’t and we have confirmed clones in this anime. Yeah season 2 gonna be dark.

      Elan didn't have the lines when he manually raised his scores either. The lack of lines is just the Aerial's thing.

    Maybe the Aerial Rebuild looking "scarier", especially with the face, might be that the face goes a bit more into Grampa Gundam's direction(the faceplate vent) and it might be a bit Farfetch'd, but I think it might show, how Suletta is going to be more like some previous Gundam protags by becoming a bit dull over the fact she just killed a human being(I am not that long into Gundam, nor have I watched or read a lot, so please don't massacre me, if I am wrong)

    The one thing I think you missed was how suspicious minority is of suletta's mother.
    Especially during the "Aerial is a gundam" part. You can see it on her face she is suspicious.
    I hope she realizes what's up.

    Such a great video. Recapped all the loose plot threads that would come up next season and gave rly thorough analysis. The space pollution bit and shot parallels of the kneeling aerial were scenes i noticed but couldnt formulate thoughts on until this vid. The eri theory is also interesting and was presented w a balanced amount of skepticism/evidence. Can't believe this was ur first anime discussion vid, it's so well put together. Excited for april

    Thanks. I only watched the first few episodes but was curious if a twist would motivate me to watch more. The whole "decide by combat" concept seemed so silly to me that it was tough to take this series seriously. I had watched a couple previous Gundam series and enjoyed the mechs, but eventually grew tired of the "there are no heroes, everybody is a shade of grey" philosophy.

    Great video! You really pointed out so many things that i've never actually noticed while watching the anime (probably because u do a lot of research on it and i thank you for spending your time for this) I think the theory that is aerial is sentient is kind of backed up by the novel i can't really give much of my thoughts but, April is approaching soon and im excited to see what the series will unfold

      Iooking back, i noticed how strange suletta's interactions with her mother were. She barely got a say in anything before completely believing prospera. Even miorine seemed a bit uncomfortable

    I think there's a chance that Jeturk and Peil will collaborate in the second season. It's highly probable that the Aerial does what it does thanks to the MS itself having consciousness to handle the load of the GUND format, so Jeturk and Peil might attempt to replicate that with their respective AI and GUND tech.

  • @legendaryoutcast4440

    would make much more sense to say she is a clone, a technology we are capable of today, then to jump to time travel is extreme or other outlandish theories

  • @demongodhunter

    This was a very good analysis of the first season, easily the best one I have seen. Do you have any plans for doing a similar video on the second season?

    • @NewtypeSeiji
      @NewtypeSeiji  9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I'm glad you liked it! I started writing one on my thoughts on the series as a whole a while back but life stuff got in the way and I never really got around to finishing it, I still kinda want to make it I'm just not sure if it's worth the effort now that G-Witch has been over for almost two months.

    • @demongodhunter
      @demongodhunter 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Your video was more of an analysis than a review, so I think a similar video covering the rest of the series would be relevant and interesting regardless of how much time has passed since the broadcast. Since the series has completed you would not need to do any speculation on what might be happening next, you could focus exclusively on what has been released.

    Sulleta being a clone can also be reinforced by that list itself because that’s what Eri wanted to do when she grew up but of course couldn’t because her souls is in the gundam.

    This was wonderfull to watch. I only got to watch G-witch after all of season 1 released so I binged it and to be honest, the translation I watched wasnt the best. I was kinda confused but you cleared all the parts I was confused about (The names, god I cant remember any names) so this whole video was really well put together. As well as all the speculation and theories you mentined, they were really interesting.
    Anyway, this anime has been an amazing journey and I cant wait for what is to come as well.

    Maybe the Mum is the real girl, and Suletta is a clone of herself made cos she can connect to the Gundam better than any other. The Mum has clearly had work done on her face to change how she looks. The bits could have been clones that failed.
