So this is the series finale or just the season finale? I usually wait for a series to finish before I start watching it. Unless is a massive series with hundreds of episodes.

Series, at least according to the advertising. While we may return to this timeline in a sequel series, this series seems like it’s wrapping up.

X to doubt, the best we'll get out of this is probably an bittersweet ending similar to Izetta.

I'm still kind've ambivalent about Suisei no Majou, but enjoying it well enough that I also hope it ends well. Would take no joy in a full crash-and-burn, even if I feel like they've increasingly accelerated events that they should have worked us through much more carefully.

I have to catch up on G-Witch, I've been very busy with other series but I think I'll watch it more comfortably when all the episodes are aired, I also tried to watch the Spanish dub made by Crunchyroll but honestly I'm kind of dissapointed with the dubbing studio they chose to dub the series so I'll have to watch it in Japanese.
It seems G-Witch was a huge success for Sunrise and Bandai, I have to wonder if they're planning on continuing with this continuity with a sequel or spin-off like they did with SEED or if the next Gundam series will be another brand new continuity.

Surprised it's the series finale, but the trailer states it. Gundam series usually end up going for 4 cours. This season has been a little rushed and skipped over several details where I felt they could have expanded or depicted and that explains why if it's a 2 cour season. There's a lot left over that they're not solving.

That being said, Gundam is not alien to the protagonist dying, time skips, changes in POV in a 2nd half so it's still possible.

Well so far this show has been light on the deaths. If the minor Earth House characters survive the next two episodes and than it is announced there is a sequel series.

This should be their reaction at the 0:21 second mark of the video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=199WN-I73Tk

Given how massively successful G-Witch's model kit sales have been, I'd say a direct sequel is very likely.

Hopefully it'll be more Zeta Gundam and less Seed Destiny.

It seems like for the past decade and change, Bandai has always misjudged how long any given Gundam show should be. Either too long or too short.
