Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury (Japanese: 機動戦士ガンダム 水星の魔女, Hepburn: Kidō Senshi Gandamu: Suisei no Majo) is a Japanese mecha anime series and the fifteenth mainline entry in Sunrise's long-running Gundam franchise. The series is directed by both Hiroshi Kobayashi and Ryō Andō and written by Ichirō Ōkouchi. It premiered in October 2022 on the JNN stations TBS and MBS. The Witch from Mercury marks the first mainline Gundam TV anime production in seven years since Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans and the first TV series in the franchise to feature a female protagonist (fourth in the franchise overall after École du Ciel, SEED C.E. 73: Stargazer, and Twilight AXIS). The series revolves around themes of the dangers of emerging technologies alongside political corruption, criticism of capitalism and revenge.
