Not Sunrise giving us a fencing duel between Guel and Suletta that's so out of place and goofy to animation flex but also shoehorn her back into being the holder just because they can.
I should hate it, but I can't.
Guel and Suletta are both dorks and I can totally see them having a dance battle to figure out who gets to play first on the playstation in another universe.

Packing all that in a single episode was certainly a choice someone made...

Holy heck Gwitch episode 22!
It's insane to me how much this show does each episode, Just yesterday I was worrying about how they'd get through stuff in the 3ish episodes remaining this season. Boom. Miorine's depression *and* her and Suletta getting back together, the full introduction of Calibarn along with the actual affects it seems to have on Suletta. Plus it's weapon / booster being based on a witches broom! And we get to see Suletta truly affirm how good a pilot she is, in an unfamiliar Gundam she just entered for the first time, with an unfamiliar propulsion method and weapon! She avoids all of Ericht's attacks, the very same beam spam that I saw people arguing against her skill with earlier in the series.
I literally had to go back and rewatch multiple parts of the episode just to appreciate events.

For all I've been reacting to episode 23 of GWitch, I don't have any strong feelings about the finale next week. I feel like the show used up its creative payload too quickly.
Spoilers under the cut.
So by the end of episode 23, basically all the Mercury family drama has been resolved. Suletta and Eri had as much of a confrontation as they could, Miorine threw Prospera's shitty parenting in her face, and her plans all unraveled. About the only threads remaining in this tapestry rely on Eri, who sacrificed herself to save her mom and big sister.
That leaves...what?
There's the Peil Industries stuff, which hasn't been undeveloped, but it has way less development than the Mercury family drama. I just don't care much about the mecha Bene Gesserit as villains; I like them less than the typical space capitalist, but that doesn't mean I consider them compelling antagonists—especially not for Miorine and Suletta specifically. I guess Suletta is pissed that they killed her sister, but that's less interesting than the complex relationship she has with her mom.
I guess there's probably some Rembran family stuff, but that was never as complicated, and it feels like it won't require much more than a conversation between Miorine and Delling (once the latter recovers more fully). It will make a good scene for the last episode, but
Maybe Asticassia and/or the Earthians rebuilding what was destroyed could make a good throughline for the finale, if there was enough epilogue-ey stuff that you needed to a whole episode after the climactic fights to wrap it up. But Peil just tried to blow up Quiet Zero and a bunch of unrelated Benerit Group stations. The stakes are trying to escalate, this isn't the time for that kind of thing.
What does that leave? Maybe Prospera making up Suletta? Screw that! I do not think Prospera can or should be redeemed for her well-meaning abuse, especially not in 22 minutes of action-packed television melodrama. She might love Suletta, but that doesn't and shouldn't negate the harm caused by her actions!
So yeah. It's probably going to be the Earth House crew and some collection of their allies fighting Peil Industries and their allies. I'll watch it, I want to see how it ends, but I'm not excited about it the way I was when Suletta was going to talk with/fight her mom.

Okay so listen I understand the thing that happened in episode 22 was primarily just a reference to prior gundams
But I can't stop about this scene
Tumblr media
She's staring at the blade, she's staring at the tip like it's her entire future, and like, in a way it is. Not because it determines whether she can be with miorine. But rather, for suletta, it's about the spirit of the promise she made to miorine, regardless of how she lost.
Tumblr media
It's only a frame or two but she's absolutely staring at the blade and thinking about the wedding and I just. God damn gwitch.

ok I might be over sulemio not getting a kiss because of the gundam main couple treatment (which isn’t even true by the way) yadda yadda HOWEVER. I still feel like there’s stuff, entire scenes even, missing - which I guess goes for the entirety of s2:
- someone pointed out that in their reunion in episode 22 Suletta doesn’t explicitly forgive Miorine, instead only urges her to move forward together, which I think it’s perfect because at that moment there’s other more pressing shit going on and they can’t do much more than set a new basis for their relationship. What I would have liked is a subsequent scene in which they actually build on it. I guess we did get Miorine telling Guel to back off and assisting Suletta in raising the Calibarn’s score (beautiful scene btw) showing that she can be relied upon again but... I dunno what about a tiny scene for just the two of them? alone?
- no tomatoes in the finale. arguably they’re more of a Notrette thing, but they’re also about Miorine and Suletta, both in and of themselves (Suletta is the first to be given a tomato and allowed in the greenhouse etc) and insofar as Notrette is Miorine’s mother. Just like we see Suletta achieving her dream of living with her family and working on building a school (or two) thanks to Miorine, we should see Miorine achieving her dream of going to Earth and continuing her mother’s tomato legacy thanks to Suletta. Miorine’s symbol of connection to her mother, to Suletta and to others is missing from the finale.
- a wedding. this should be self-explanatory. you (the show) can’t have “marriage” as one of your main themes, set up an expectation through a lot of dialogue, double down on said expectation despite the multiple chances to subvert it and then not show the wedding. cmon. guess a wedding would’ve entailed a kiss (there we go) so it’s no good. hmmm.
and finally, but this comes down to personal taste, what struck me when I first started watching (UC) gundam is that some scenes have a distinctly erotic tone. yknow it has the kind of scenes you watch and youre like “wait what is thi-oooh its like that ok“. so among the main couples you have kamille cornering fa against a wall and pressing his whole body against her, nina draping herself over uraki because he’s too rough with the gundam’s levers, amuro and char tumbling in the grass and so on. I quit like this aspect of the show because it makes a lot of sense for a bunch of emotional teens/young adults/grown-ass adults to be horny on top of everything.
for reference, the closest gwitch comes to this is in ep 8 or so when Shaddiq is at the greenhouse and Miorine is looking up at him while laying on her back while the camera lingers on her legs. as far as I’m concerned sulemio don’t get one such scene, what they have is lots of rather sweet and wholesome scenes, which is FINE because it still gets the point across, but it’s- we could’ve had more layers to it by gundam’s own standards is what I’m saying (btw if the writers intended sulemio to be canonical ace rep they should’ve inserted something to that effect, otherwise it’s just a lazy post hoc cop-out a-la-jkr). Instead to me it feels like either the writers or the producers consciously chickened out of explicit gay stuff and settled with the whole uwu cute wlw vibe. yes really, I think it’s that simple.
like - you’ve got an engagement, you’ve got the theme of premarital sex in the tempest, play with that concept a little bit! you already reference utena, why not give a nod to its most sensual aspects? have Earth House raunchily and mercilessly teasing Suletta, have Miorine be more forward and Suletta more repressed, show us that these two girlfriends want each other in a more base sense! there were so many possibilities. but maybe it’s just me
