Anime : Mobile Suit Gundam THE WITCH FROM MERCURY

New anime in Oct-Dec/2022, ended with a total of 12 episodes.
Although it is the latest in the Gundam series, the work received a great response because the main characters are two young women, the main focus is on a war between corporations rather than a conflict between nations, and the base of the story is a school.
In an era when the use of Gundam technology is shaken up in terms of military use, the story follows a girl born on Mercury who can pilot a Gundam and the daughter of a giant conglomerate as they become embroiled in the world's economic and military wars.
The unique worldview of the story confused me in the beginning, but the characters' characterization and emotional portrayal were so carefully done that I was drawn into the story more and more.
The final episode of the first season was so horrific that it created a buzz around the Internet, and brought me huge expectation towards 2nd season starting in Apr/2023.
