I just wish I could turn on an adult animated show thats like deep and mindless drivel with just butches and queers in the style of Bojack, superjail, or Tuca n Bertie. I want it to be for adults but also the characters are at least in their 20s. Hell imagine a very butch king of the hill. Maybe it's on adult swim or something else and i can just turn it on and zone out after work. Instead I'm just writing this and listening to my fan. I don't want to have to create this type of stuff or connect a bunch of artists and writers and producers. I will if this want turns into a need but I just want to be able to put on something to watch and see queer and gay tv thats not just palatable and gay men centered. Sigh I guess I'll put on lost girl again but I've watched it so much and sometimes its too loades to just soak in until I have to get things ready. I get "someone's gotta be the first to make it big" but why can't these things just be now with all this "we're diverse and accepting" mumbo jumbo.

very mixed feelings about the ending of gwitch. Overall I can say I enjoyed the show as a whole a ton, and still think it’s really strong, but the conclusion wasn’t what I wanted. More under the cut.
Gundam Witch from Mercury Episode 24 Spoilers!
I’m glad they didn’t magically resolve the entire central conflict of the setting. The Bennerit Group is gone (good) but Earthian-Spacian inequality isn’t going to go away after just three years, and all those assets *can* just be bought up by Spacians again. If we get a sequel series ala Zeta, this is a clear hook.
We get a brief sketch of how gund-tech has proliferated in the epilogue - Petra’s legs, the nape commlinks Suletta and Miorine have, and so on. All fine, though I still hope we eventually get something set in AS that explores the transhumanist potential that’s hinted at in the Prologue, even if its just a manga or something.
Suletta and Miorine are explicitly married. They are more explicitly a couple than most straights in Gundam. On the other hand, in a show so uniquely focused on their relationship, it feels like a copout to not have a properly romantic conclusion. Let them kiss Sunrise.
Eri becoming a gay keychain is very funny.
Nika’s gay ass haircut singlehandedly carrying half this epilogue for me. I wish we got more of Earth House.
El5n doing his little hiking expedition emotionally destroys me after recently finishing 00.
Guel’s epilogue scene is funny, but I maintain they fundamentally botched his character. After the One earth episode, they pretty much hit the brakes and rolled his entire arc back. Spacian Capitalism and Parental Abuse is Fine Actually, but at least he respects women now.
Shaddiq is just getting sentenced to death or SuperJail or something now? Idk. He feels like such a wasted character to me. Biggest case of “why is this plot in the show if you never intended to do something with it”. I’m glad his mean girl squad are out and thriving.
Idk - the ending feels a bit like an anime that was given a set amount of episodes and then abruptly cancelled near the end. Yet S1 was paced perfectly and we already knew the show would have 24 episodes back then. So I’m genuinely mystified by how this happened and what decisions were taking place behind the scenes. Did they expect a third season and just not get it? That feels kinda insane given how well the show did.
I think with how much they’ve left open, there’s absolutely room for a movie or a new AS show with a different protagonist, but Suletta as a protagonist has definitely concluded her arc. Mind you, it’s satisfying and well done (but also SUNRISE, LET THEM KISS YOU COWARDS)
Above all though - it’s been extremely fun watching the show from week to week, sharing theories, art, opinions and everything else with other fans. It was my first time watching a Gundam series as it aired, and the show will be irrevocably special to me for that reason alone.
