Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury wants us to relive the horror of Season 1’s finale and get a taste of the tribulations to come in the much-anticipated continuation, smashing both together into a tense main trailer for Season 2 today ahead of the anime’s premiere on April 9.

On top of more mecha action and character drama, the trailer also provides a preview of “slash” by yama (Ranking of Kings ED1), which will serve as the new season’s opening theme song.

A sightseeing illustration project for the series’ premiere was also announced, in which Suletta and Miorine will tour Japan to visit locations of the 28 MBS/TBS stations in which the anime is broadcast, starting with Hachiko Square in Tokyo:
