T, t, t, t, this is h, h, h, how Suletta's Dialogue is, is, is, written, probably. No, Suletta's stuttering isn't someone who suffer from speech disorder, her dialogue is just badly written and/or the direction given to her VA is horrid. Beside my complain about Suletta, I have to complain about Guel being everyone's punching bag, despite his previous claim to be a great duelist. The writing is getting atrocious, especially with what they did with Elan, which supposed to be an interesting bit, but the characterization feels rushed and unclear. I hope the writers to pick it back up, please.
A Gundam series would not be Gundam without political elements running in the background of the main plot and Witch from Mercury is no exception. Suletta can’t seem to get a rest as people keep trying to get their hands on Aerial, but when those people seem to have secrets of their own, the story starts to show its first shapes of development.
Perfect balance between the usual sociopolitical aspect of Gundam and the high school life that Suletta has.It's nice to see the side characters doing something (since they serve as pretty much envoys for their related families) and how we can see how their families influence their actions or if they simply don't (looking at you Guel)
