Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury: Release date, time, how to watch

We are nearing the release date of Mobile Suit Gundam: Witch from Mercury and fans can’t wait for the first Gundam series in seven years. The series has been shrouded in mystery, but the Bandai-Namco Group is gearing up for a big push, calling it an “ever larger-scale rollout. So this could be the biggest Gundam series ever.

What is the release date of Gundam: The Witch from Mercury Season 1?

Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury will release in 2022. A specific date has yet to be set, but we can make some guesses as to when we’ll see the first season drop. We suspect that it came too soon because of the little information that Bandai-Namco Corporation has dropped about the series. We anticipate seeing it decline in Fall 2022 (October-December) or Winter 2023 (January-March).

We also don’t know how many episodes Gundam: The Witch from Mercury will have. The Gundam series tends to stretch, so we could see up to 50 episodes drop. If that’s the case, we’ll likely see 25 episodes released in the first season, with the second 25 coming out a year later in the second season.

Another big question regarding The Witch from Mercury is its timeline. Is it placed in Common century, Cosmic Age, Anno Domini, Post-Disaster, or a whole new continuum? We personally hope that the series returns to the Space Century. It would be great to see something take place after Gundam: Unicorn, and still be so many stories to be said in this setting.

How to watch The Witch from Mercury

The Gundam franchise has never been available on a streaming platform. There’s a series here, a movie there, and it can be confusing for those looking to enjoy Gundam in general. We anticipate a new series like The Witch from Mercury to be on Funimation because users can watch Iron-Blooded Orphans there. However, that’s really anyone’s guess. We could see Netflix paying for the rights to watch the series like they did with Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean.
