I hope you're okay with the idea of an anime getting to third base with your mind.

I'm guessing they'll finally bump Hunter back up when IBO comes back. Hell, maybe even Lupin.

Do you know who it is? Back when I reread I couldn't help but hear it as Troy Baker with a huge hick accent and I'm interested to hear who they got since that ain't happening.

Oh this is the dude who voiced Kaneshiro, isn't it? This dude's voice acting is always like one step away from being bad 90s dubbing and I actually like it here, a bit. It's no Mojojojo, but it works.

They had to show the trailer three times now because people were fuckin' demanding it.

E: The Pillows are doing an all-new original score for both series.

2 & 3 will be separate stories.

There will be collaboration with ex-Gainax people from Khara and Trigger as episodic directors.

The new series will touch on the same themes of adolescence as the original.

HIGH QUALITY TRAILER! https://www.facebook.com/Toonami/videos/1775487826075390/

Really hope they don't try and lean on the original show too much, that's a surefire way for it to end up being a dumpster fire. I'm assuming they won't since they're focusing on new characters. I'm somewhat optimistic about this.

I was playing a game while watching Lupin this weekend, so in case I missed it, I have to ask if there was a way to activate the mechanism to reveal the "treasure" without getting yourself and anyone in the area killed?

Because if not, dick move.

My only guess is that since they decided during the first season of IBO that the series would be 2, the contract Toonami made with Sunrise included both seasons and their hands are tied at this point.

It got pretty solid ratings, unlike Unicorn, which might explain it. Averaged 940,840 viewers, .36 in the target demographic. Add in that Toonami management likes Gundam, and it makes a good deal of sense without indulging in conspiracies about tied hands and Toonami being forced to air more of a show that did fairly well.

I absolutely hated it, a boring plot peppered with a third graders attempt at social commentary.

Unicorn was more fun than that.

I thought that Mikazuki was a refreshing protagonist: an out and out sociopath who murders anyone who he perceives as a threat without a thought who nonetheless is completely devoted to defending his adopted family. None of this bullshit idealism you hear from other Gundam protags. Mika is a rabid dog on a chain and everyone knows it.

The overarching plot and general structure of the show are pretty dogshit though.

The enemy of my enemy is my enemy.
Also while the surrounding plot was milquetoast the mech fights were pretty good. Even then the surrounding plot wasn't so boring as to not make me stick around to see them fightin' robots.

Unlike Unicorn where I didn't even bother past the first episode.

McGillis is the blonde Char type engaged to an elementary schooler. He likes elaborate plans, betraying dudes, and fighting the status quo. He really doesn't like his father, for reasons that are elaborated on in the second season.

Gaelio is the guy with purple hair. He likes being basically decent-ish in a corrupt system, trusting his best buddy McGillis, and cool giant robots.

Carta is the woman who surrounds herself with blonde dudes because she wants McGillis. She likes honor and elaborate attack formations. She's not so enthusiastic for what happens when you announce your attack formations to ruthless child soldiers.

Ein is Gaelio's wingman. He likes killing children.

There's politics beyond them, but mostly that amounts to McGillis finding more and more elaborate ways to gently caress everyone else over. It isn't until the second season you really have to worry about anyone else's long game.

Also you (probably, I know I did) want McGillis to gently caress everyone over because wow, Gjallerhorn is dumb.

At least in the first season.

Unicorn was perfectly watchable, but the whole bit about using the psychic energy of everyone on earth was a bit much. But so was the betrothal to a little girl and the dude with the harem. Ick.

Admittedly I've only seen IBO and Unicorn, does every Gundam series involve the pilot somehow being gifted their Gundam by luck or destiny like it's loving Excalibur?
