Fans Of Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch From Mercury are in for a treat as the Blu-ray release of the anime has brought forth official confirmation regarding the marital status of the protagonists, Suletta Mercury and Miorine Rembran.

In the interview, Kobayashi stated, “We had decided to write an epilogue, but we didn’t decide on the specific number of years until later. The ending itself is similar to The Tempest, with Suletta and Miorine getting married and becoming partners“.

This might be the single most action-packed episode of "Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch From Mercury" yet. I know that may seem absurd considering the feast that we have been given each week. But consider this week's bounty: Guel is abandoned by his family and goes camping in the woods! Earth House builds Suletta some cool rocket boosters out of scrap! Elan's powerful Gundam Pharact goes up against Suletta's Aerial in a space duel! These are the kinds of absurd, melodramatic events that certain folks pejoratively call "anime." "Witch of Mercury" proves that this kind of storytelling can also be fun and addictive, so long as the pacing is just fast enough, and the characters endearing enough, that you suspend your sense of disbelief for another week.
If this week's episode is a big wrapped gift, though, the gift has a bomb inside. This is the meanest and most...

A massive 43-year-old franchise with over 50 installments across film and TV, it can be quite daunting to even attempt to enter the world of Yoshiyuki Tomino's epic robot space opera. Whether you're a returning fan or brand new to the very idea of what a Gundam is, we're here to answer every question you might have about the new show and the franchise it is aiming to revitalize.
So, first up, what is "Gundam" exactly? To give it its full name, "Mobile Suit Gundam" is a long-running series focusing on people capable of piloting Gundams, the most advanced, giant humanoid mecha — also called Mobile Suits. This is rather standard stuff for the mecha genre of anime, but what set Tomino's world apart -- and helped...

Netflix’s cutest death-metal fan is returning for more face-melting good times. The streaming service announced Monday at Anime Expo it has renewed “Aggretsuko” for Season 2.
The charming anime series follows 25-year-old red panda Retsuko, who works an oppressive office job by day and vents her frustrations through death metal karaoke at night. The series examines micro-aggressions, sexism, and the pressures society puts on people to conform to a specific “good” person image.
In the Season 1 review, IndieWire noted, “As it stands, this delightful season is more like filling up on Costco samples than a more substantial series binge. That’s no doubt part of its charm. If Netflix sees fit to renew it for another season, however, there’s definitely an appetite for meatier fare.”
Watch the sizzle reel below:
“Castlevania” Season 2
At the expo, Netflix also revealed “Castlevania” Season 2’s release date in addition to some first-look photos below.
