I can’t believe this was your move. G-Witch was created to bring in a new generation of younger fans because the franchise was stagnant and only popular among middle-aged Japanese men. And you SUCCEEDED, beyond anyone’s wildest expectations, probably even your own, and grabbed a whole new generation of fans and re-engaged some old ones.
And you choose cowardice. You completely failed to understand your own show and what made it so popular in the first place. You created a BELOVED sapphic couple that was loved and important to so many queer and marginalized people and NOW you’re going to hide and call it “open to interpretation?” Just absolute bullshit, Suletta & Miorine are MARRIED, it’s in the text of the show, it’s supported by the entire staff, including Kana and Lynn! Backpedaling now to appease homophobes is an absolutely cowardly move and you just pissed away all those new fans and the goodwill you built up.
Just imagine having sales numbers like these. Having your show trend weekly during it’s airing and multiple times AFTER it airing. Having people celebrate the mention of their marriage so much that Sulemio Marriage trended on Twitter after that interview went live. And you pissed it all away by being cowardly and giving into homophobia.
I want to thank the staff of G-Witch for fighting to give us what we got, and Kana Ichinose for sticking her neck out to say they’re married when clearly the suits at Bandai fought against this the entire way. I firmly believe they had a kiss scene planned (there was even a very reputable leak that a kiss was animated!) and maybe even the wedding (listen to The Way We Wanna Go and tell me you can’t hear that playing during their kiss or wedding). This is completely disrespectful to the staff who worked hard to bring us this show and the fans who supported it.
Regardless, like I said before: they can try and censor current and future content, but they can NEVER take Suletta & Miorine’s relationship and marriage back from us. There is no “open to interpretation”, they are textually and canonically married and nothing Bandai ever does will change how G-Witch ended when it aired.
Bandai trying to lose all its fans by saying that suletta and miorines relationship is really only up to interpretation is so fucking stupid and yet hilariously dumb at the same time, like my brother in christ theres nothing to interpret, they have matching rings, eri calls herself miorines sister in law, they live together. And even before the epilogue they werent subtle, suletta fucking proposed to her and miorine told her to stay with her forever, she fucking said to prospera that they will be a family wether she likes it or not cause shes dead set on marrying suletta
Theres not one bit of subtleness about the relationship of these characters, they’re in love and married and the fact that bandai is shooting itself in the foot after such an explicitly sapphic relationship is comedically bad and appalling, stop trying to appeal to the dude bros of the fandom
I would love to hear how a flipper justifies the work that supposedly increases value for any home by 107% in one year. Personally I wouldn’t trust that the work that was done was done well no matter how nice it looks
