If I may, personally I feel the pacing is weird because it’s going very very fast and some big things are happening that we probably should have seen. Like Suletta goes from completely despondent and devastated to being determined and emotionally secure enough to recognize and talk about how her mother doesn’t truly love her in two episodes, one of which involved a terror attack on the school and all her friends nearly dying. Which makes sense for the plot and the pacing, but one more episode post-Norea where she comes to that emotional state just a tad slower would be nice. Especially since a lot happened in between episode 20 and 21! Miorine became President, the SAL found out about Quiet Zero, Peil decided to jump ship, Quiet Zero is now operational! And we didn’t get to see any of it happen! If Quiet Zero was this close to being finished why did Prospera need Miorine at all? Did Delling key some important part of it to something only the President would have access to and Prospera needed to steal it? Did she just hate Miorine that much and wanted her to suffer?

It kinda feels like a lot is getting squished right now to fit our 25 episode limit, and I really don’t like it.

As much as I adore Witch from Mercury right now, I feel that its pacing, once you zoom out of the weekly format, is kinda weird. I don't know how to put it into better words yet, but something is just off and I'm glad I get to experience the show on a weekly basis.

#it’s the ‘Miorine becomes President (which happens offscreen) and immediately Quiet Zero is finished’#it’s the ‘how in the hell did Peil learn about Quiet Zero? why didn’t we see them make the decision to abandon Benerit?’#things like that #why didn’t we learn about what the SAL was AFTER we learned they were secretly bankrolling a war against Benerit?#these things aren’t necessarily flaws per see (they do at least make internal sense)#and it’s always the non-Asticassia parts that get hit the worst with it #also how long does it take to build a mobile suit?#we went from Gund-Nodes being under development two episodes ago #to there being an entire fleet of them this episode #so how much time has passed? has it been months? days?#I kinda thought the whole ‘Norea goes ham’ thing happened like a day after Quinharbour #or less #so was there like a month timeskip in between these episodes?#and then you get things like Suletta being a second-year instead of a first-year which.#like that’s not as big but it sure took me by surprise #she’s never been to school before!#why is she a second-year?#g-witch #it kinda feels like we missed an episode in between these two #where Prospera uses Miorine to get access to the resources she needs #to finish Quiet Zero #Peil are under massive pressure due to Shaddiq’s actions #so they find out about it somehow and go to SAL with it #personally I think the wierdness comes at least a little from all the times stuff like that happens and then it is never explained again #the school will act if people get violent?#why didn’t anything happen when ChuChu sent that girl straight to the ICU?#just. a lot of stuff like that adding up #where we can argue and rationalize and go back and forth on it #but what happened is that the show kinda didn’t explain something it sorta needed to #and again the things can make sense and we can think our way through them but the problem is still there y’know?
