Homophobic executives owned once again. Where do you get the Blu-ray?
japan exclusive currently, and i'm pretty sure it's like 100$ for 2 episodes or somethign, the japanese anime bluray market is insane
it's why things can cost so much in the west, so that they can't just get sold back to japan and undercut the sky high prices
What in tarnation...
Stuff targeted to super fans is always really expensive in Japan. Even back in the 80s in Japan, OVA tapes would be expensive af. Here's a neat reddit comment that shows an old ad from Newtype magazine and tries to hash out the cost.
I think in Japan, "normal" people just watch stuff on TV or read cheaply printed manga magazines (they even have manga cafes for this) and the true sickos spend big bucks on blurays and tankobon collectors releases.

god damn i didn't realize it was that bad
I think most consumption of OVAs back then was through rentals, which makes a lot more sense than paying $50 in 2023 money per episode, but this is coming off of half-remembered Mobile Suit Breakdown episodes lol.
that's how the bluray industry works now, so i assume that's a carryover from back then
Thanks for posting updates. It's good to hear that more emphasis is being put on them being gay married. Fuck the homophobic execs.
happy to be of service
They must have asked the execs "if they're just interpretation friendship rings, can we add them back into more shots for the bluray?" followed by a "these old fucks are never going to read the commentary heh"
either that or they just asked a different less homophobic guy at bandai who was on the same level as whoever shut down the last one. i think there's gotta be so much departmental politics going on behind the scenes of this stuff
Hell yeah 
links dont seem to be working for me but i also dont know how twitter works so maybe im just missing something
twitter is just down rn. here are the images from the tweets
thank you ^^
Lmao. :interpretation-intensifies:
Is this watchable without having watched any of the other Gundams?
Yeah, it's self contained. Be sure to start with the prologue episode though.
It's still hilarious to me that people skipped the prologue and didn't expect how dark and brutal things got
I didn't even know the prologue existed until after the first season.๐
But I'm familiar with Gundam so... 
yeah totally. completely different continuity. i really would recommend watching other gundams (0079 is a classic for a reason, and turn a gundam is one of my all time favorites and is also very queer) but g-witch isn't bad and is completely standalone. if you like it (and especially if you like the stuff about the tensions between space colonies and earth and the background politics) definitely check out other gundams
