something I cannot for the life of me remember about gwitch is when they call Suletta a "country bumpkin" in the subtitles, are the characters actually saying ็”ฐ่ˆŽ่€… (inakamono)? I cannot get the silly image out of my head that Mercury in that universe looks like the japanese countryside, except it's all gray.

I think the whole dichotomy of city folk and ็”ฐ่ˆŽ they have over there is kinda interesting, I don't think this happens in brazil or the US, in the US a lot of people don't like the countryside or the south, here it's just where you travel to see family if you have some that live there but it's nothing special or ever remarked upon. I keep also flashing back to Tim Roger's review of Boku no Natsuyasumi ใผใใฎใชใคใ‚„ใ™ใฟ and he dedicates a decent amount of time talking about the japanese summer with several anecdotes and fun stories and the one that stuck with me is when he explains how people in Tokyo are when it's summer and how inaka people are, he says when it's summer in the city people stop greeting each other with "hello" and just start saying ๆš‘ใ„ and ๆš‘ใ„ใงใ™ใญ (it's hot isn't it?) all the time in a rushed or lightly complaining tone, but when it's summer someone from the countryside will say ใ‚ใƒผๆš‘ใ„ใงใ™ใญ (imagine the tone shift is "ah.. it sure is hot today isn't it?~) and he says "that's all you need to know right there"

I dunno that whole thing about city people picking on the "country bumpkin" yet they're kinda jealous of them because they have family and connections to a pretty part of that country, the city people yearn for a deeper connection with nature and shit. like there's even a whole subgenre of anime about just saying "look at how fucking pretty the japanese countryside is compared to the city". this post got away from me but imagine the rolling gray hills of mercury with the ocasional solar storm or whatever they have over there, that'd be a funny photoshop to do to me and probably nobody else.

I, too, forget whether they're saying ็”ฐ่ˆŽ่€…, but I'm confident that Suletta's thing about Mercury not having many young people and wanting to start a school there is intended by the script-writers to recall current anxieties in Japan--both popularly and in the government--about the depopulation of rural villages.

oh gosh I never even considered that real world parallel, that's a really good point, I wasn't even aware depopulation was a problem in rural areas but the declining birth rate is a nation wide issue so makes sense. we never even see mercury in the show and she wants to start a school on earth as well.. I guess you can also read that as part of the same metaphor or she wants to help the child refugees too?

Yeah! I'm sure it's no coincidence that when we see Miorine meet Suletta in the epilogue, Suletta's playing with some children; presumably the writers wanted to leave it open whether she's doing things longer-term on Earth or will one day return to Mercury, or whatever.
