Iron Blooded Orphans was on Toonami and I liked it so I guess I'm going to fall into robot hell now.

My Turn A DVDs should be here when I get home from work and then the fun will start.

Turn A trip report on the first two episodes: I'm liking the setting and the level of technology on Earth. Character designs are also really good! Loran is a boy that really likes to get naked though, he should stop that. The moon is a bunch of jerks.

I'm not enough of an expert to tell if the translation is really good, but I felt like it was fine enough. The menu is just an episode list with the option to watch a clean OP and ED, but I didn't expect much in features for an older series. The video quality is good, I was watching it on a projector and it looked about as good as a DVD master is probably gonna look. The discs themselves have really cool art on them that I'll probably try to snap a pic of later.

Loran has been pretty much naked for four in four episodes. I'm counting the undie scene with Keith. Literally right after his boss' funeral.

I am also very happy that people insist on referring to the Turn A as "the mustached mobile suit."

Is Turn A hard to follow at first, for you? It took me until about 10 eps in until I was comfortable with who is who and how they relate to each other.

Not super hard to follow, but I don't think the series' events have hit into the right groove of how most of the series will go yet, and I'm starting to get a hang of people's names, but I still sometimes forget.

I had a really dumb Gundam idea at work. An otome game based on GBF, where the different routes are different Gundam protagonists as Gunpla fighters. The Setsuna route features a tense love triangle between you, him, and Gundam, which is very hard to overcome.

I'd write Loran's route as a Princess Kaguya story, where there's always something off about him, but it turns out he's from the moon and he has to go back, and you have to be "No, baby, I love you too much, gently caress the moon!"

Also you have to keep him from gettin so naked.

Back to watching Turn A, this little moonboy's crotch is gonna be nothing by the end of the show. So much genital violence.

I also like that one of the main sources of conflict is not being able to read the robot's manual.

"Rora Rora."

I don't think Guin thought the whole party plan through farther than getting Loran into a dress.

And at least his BS is helping Loran keep the double agent thing going.

I also appreciated the mini-Cake Boss episode with Keith making the cake for the party.

I also appreciated that Dianna's response to being told that war might be imminent was "Let's not have a war, let's have a party," and that that party was also basically a middle school dance with the boys on one side of the gym and the girls on the other.

Gundam 00 has a good dub and a great first season. The second season's not bad either, just very badly handheld into mediocrity. Iron-Blooded Orphans also has a dub that's just starting to air in the US, I think?

Yes, it's Saturdays at midnight on Toonami. Tomorrow's going to be the third episode. Doesn't Build Fighters also have a dub?

Also fun fact about 00's dub: Tieria is voiced by Double D from Ed, Edd, n Eddy because it's a Canadian dub.

So at episode 8, I feel like we've gotten the war into the swing of things and now the series is gonna be stories of the war like trying to get a moonman a cow.

I always felt like the show was taking place in a much smaller area because we've been following the same characters and seeing the same places, but I guess there has been a lot of air travel and the Appalachians Mountain Cycle must be large.

Somebody should have probably asked Corin what the gently caress he's talking about calling the White Doll a Gundam, especially seeing as he seems to be the only person who knows what a Gundam is in this series.

Also Dianna was pointing a gun at Corin and basically yelling "I'M DIANNA SORIEL" and Loran's still "How'd ya know his name, Miss Kihel?"
