Likewise, they find that needlessly killing off characters just for the sake of shock value to be [[TooBleakStoppedCaring detrimental to viewer investment]]. Meanwhile, a [[TakeAThirdOption third faction]] consisting of "Universal Century-only" fans and some others dislike both series, ''IBO'' for being excessively DarkerAndEdgier and ''G-Witch'' for being excessively Lighter and Softer, and accuse both series of [[GatewaySeries bringing in fans]] who only care about shipping the characters to the exclusion of everything else (and this in turn has been accused of being an attempt to gatekeep the series). Ironically, most fanart enjoys depicting Mikazuki and Suletta as friends, and the general mecha fandom would love to see how both series interact in ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWars'', ''including'' detractors of both series who want ''SRW'' to fix the issues they have, as ''SRW'' is known for doing.

Prospera sends Sulleta to Asticassia School, where she plans for her to become the Holder and fiancée to Delling's daughter Miorine to further manipulate them both. When Delling is put in a coma, Prospera manipulates Miorine into running for president of the Benerit Group, even convincing her to go along with a plan that would result in Sulleta reaching Permat score 8. Using Miorine's peace mission to Earth to destroy the Gundam used by the violent Dawn of Fold, Prospera takes control of Quiet Zero and plans to engulf Earth into a giant data storm for Ericht to live in.

This makes no mention of people avoiding the series because of the backlash against the ending, which is what Audience Alienating Ending is supposed to be. Personally, while I know many hated the ending for those very reasons, I haven't heard of people deciding not to watch it because of the ending specifically.

** A year after ''Witch from Mercury'' ended, Yohei Akazami would participate in [[Anime/BangBraveBangBravern another mecha anime]] which similarly has his character rivaling the pilot of a sentient mecha, with said series itself has an element of same-sex relationship. To add insult to injury, his character offers himself to be piloted by the sentient mecha, who rejects him. And even ''further'' insult to injury is that said sentient mecha is voiced by Creator/KenichiSuzumura, voice of ''Anime/GundamSEEDDestiny'' protaganist Shinn Asuka. Looks like trying to propose to ''Gundam'' protaganists isn't Guel's thing.

** There are some misunderstandings about what the "achievements" of the show are, likely resulting from people trying to shorten their sentences without realizing those sentences can turn into lies without precise wording:
*** From the moment the show was announced, people started spreading it was the first Gundam title to have a female protagonist. It's the first Gundam ''TV series'' to have a female protagonist, but the franchise already had titles who did the same before, like the ''Manga/MobileSuitGundamEcoleDuCiel'' manga. Even counting only animated products, the ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEEDCE73Stargazer'' ONA series had a female protagonist more than a decade before Witch From Mercury was even announced.
*** It's also not the first Gundam anime to have LGBT+ characters, only the first to have those as main characters. The title actually belongs to ''Anime/TurnAGundam'', which revealed in its last episode that [[spoiler:Guin was in love with Loran all along.]]
