Part of the reason Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from
Mercury has struck such a cord with non Mecha fans along with longtime Gundam
mainstays is its main characters: Suletta Mercury and Mirorine Renbram. And while Miroine deserves a list of her own,
today we’re here to talk about G Witch’s adorable Tanuki Girl. Suletta has arguably one of the most
dramatic, tragic and full of jaw dropping moments of any Gundam pilot in the
entire franchise, and that’s saying a lot when she stands alongside child
soldiers, assassins and a bevy of youth with emotional issues. She’s had a lot of highs and lows and most of
them worthy of mention and honoring. So
as we close out my month long contribution to Gundam’s 45th
Anniversary (ignoring we’re spending the last two weeks with FLCL sequels),
today’s Top 5 Wendesday goes out to my Top 5 Suletta Mercury Moments from The
Witch from Mercury.
The Gundam Anime Corner
Just an Anime fan sharing his opinions and love for Anime. Most reviews are from my own personal collection. But I might throw in some theatrical reviews as well if I see em. Def look for a lot of old school titles to show up here. It's where I got my Anime start and theyre titles that should never be forgotten.

T5W#453-Top 5 TM Revolution Songs from Gundam Seed
Whether you love it or hate it (personally I love it),
JPop was a huge part of Gundam entrance into the new millennium with Gundam Seed
and Gundam Seed Destiny. Plenty would
accuse the series of focusing more on promoting musical artists more than
making a good series but many more adore the incredibly catchy opening and
ending themes and insert songs from Lacus Clyne and Meer Campbell. One important artist closely associated with
this era of Gundam is Takanori Ishikawa, better known by his stage name T.M.
Revolution. TM’s voice is the first
everyone heard when Seed debuted in 2002 and beyond theme music, he also leant
his voice to a couple of characters in both Seed and Seed Destiny. In this weeks Top 5 Wednesday, we’re
continuing our Gundam Anniversary Month with a selection of the best tracks
this awesome dude contributed to the long and illustrious line of Gundam
Opening and Ending Themes (Inserts too).
There are my Top 5 TM Revolution Songs from Gundam Seed.

Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury Part 5 Episodes 17-20
A series of heartbreaking betrayals leaves Suletta
without a Gundam and without Miorine.
All of this plays right into the hands of her mother, Prosepera, who
travels to Earth with the Aerial to begin the Quiet Zero initiative. With the
world on fire and space about to become even more dangerous, Miroine struggles
to repair the damage while Suletta confronts her own identity and everything
she’s lost in order to move forward, with or without Aerial.
