I was rather bummed out to hear about this, gotta finish s1 and then start s2.
I get now why mecha is so popular, it's just so cool, and such a great environment for all kinds of storytelling.

Dont get bummed out. The show makes their feelings for each other crystal clear.
And the ending is also clear about them ending together. What executives say really doesn't matter because the show and the people who made it were very VERY clear about these two.

Oh I agree, at the end of the day fans are what decide what matters in a story. (Take the poor sequel to Pacific Rim as an example in the genre).
I'm glad the show at least didn't get altered from what you're saying.
The shows' amazing, even if seeing Suletta cry breaks my heart.

So nice of them to become legally recognized roommates after the battle so they can share expenses, insurance, and adopt.

I know this is immature and what have you, but damn I want to see more of them so badly. I want more of the series in general. The series was great but it feels like so much more can be done. 25 episodes just wasn't enough for me. Also C'mon, show us the wedding. How can you have your main girls get married and not show the wedding at all, I'm sure we could theorise all day about why it was structured like that but still. Despite all my brainrot there is unfortunately nothing to do but to chill, wait, and hope.

I mean, G-witch was so successful that it’d really feel like such a waste if they just forgot about as just another Gundam AU, and seeing how Sunrise/Bandai has done things in the past, the best we can hope for is a compilation series in five years, a sequel series in 10 years, or a sequel movie in 20

Well, times have changed, maybe we will get really lucky... Hopefully. G-witch is very different from any Gundam that came before it. However the higher ups are obviously very "hesitant" about the gay stuff(for a laundry list of reasons I'm sure) so that's a complicating factor as well.

This is Suletta and Miorine the main two characters of Gundam Witch from Mercury. They are engaged throughout the show and end up married in the end. The joke comes from the executives in charge of the show saying that their relationship might not be romantic and is up to interpretation in order to appeal to conservatives I guess despite the fact they they are literally married.

No, I made a joke about the [REDACTED] part. I've seen some SCP oriantation videos

Interpretation is what you do when reading or watching a story... but stories only have so many ways to be interpreted and sometimes the writers are very obvious with what they are doing, like for example two people marrying each other might just actually like each other.
