    For a spoiler-free start, watch the Prologue first, then Season 1 and Season 2. The Witch from Mercury is set in the Ad Stella timeline and gives newcomers a self-contained entry point into Gundam.

    01 · Prologue

    Start here for the backstory. Save episode guides and character wikis until later if you want to avoid spoilers.

    02 · Season 1 → Season 2

    Follow Suletta Mercury into the Asticassia School of Technology, where mobile suit duels are part of student life.

    What to look for in the first episode

    Watch how the show uses a school duel to introduce the stakes. You’ll see who can challenge whom, what a pilot can win, and why Aerial draws attention before the series explains the larger world.

    From the screen to your workbench

    If Aerial is the machine you want on your shelf, Bandai’s HG 1/144 Gundam Aerial recreates its shield with 11 separable pieces. See our Entry Grade vs. High Grade comparison to decide whether it’s the right first build.
