I liked Iron-Blooded Orphans a lot. I agree that it kind of fizzles a bit towards the end, but I think that was just because they had to delay some stuff for the second season, and the second season is happening now so It's not a huge problem IMO. I liked G-Reco too, but it seems to have been pretty divisive online. I don't think I'd give it an unqualified recommendation to someone who wanted to watch a Gundam

a kitten posted:Buddy, you do not want to be raising your hand to Atra even a little. I loved that scene. There was no dramatic music, no ~tiger aura~, but you still absolutely knew that Mika was completely willing to kill that dude in an instant Mika is in such a terrible place. He's beating himself up over not being able to help, and his reputation is is separating him from new Tekkadan members, his supposed new family.

Tea.EarlGrey.Hot. posted:Since it appears to be difficult for people to resist referencing other Gundam shows despite the rules in place, I have a question: Why do you guys keep mentioning 00 in particular? I haven't seen it. Should I? Gundam 00 was a Gundam series that had a really good first season and then a lackluster second season. This has happened with other Sunrise-produced mecha shows, like Code Geass and Gundam Build Fighters. Good first season, not-so-good second season. When IBO Season 2 was announced, people were worried that it would follow that trend.

I didn't see Merribit as a love interest for Orga at all. She was a responsible adult, there to remind the audience and Orga himself that Orga, while being a super tactical badass, was also just a kid in way over his head

GimmickMan posted:So let's bring this back to IBO. So far the worst thing I can say about it is that Kudelia is still a very bad case of us being told she's competent offscreen rather than seeing for ourselves her competence at play. The establishment of the orphanage at and expansion of Sakura farm is directly connected to Kudelia securing favorable export rates for half-metal.

I have been confidently told by people on the internet that G-Reco models didn't sell well, except for G-Self, Build Fighters Try models din't sell well, except for the Build Burning, and now IBO models didn't sell well, except for the Barbatos. Maybe Bandai needs to lower their sales expectations for side character models!

I really hope McGillis doesn't know Gaelio is still alive, and Gaelio actually manages to gently caress up his plans. Things have been all according to keikaku too long for McGillis, I want his downfall to come from something he never saw coming

Lemon-Lime posted:I like that the show is continuing the whole "Tekkadan are irrelevant pawns" thing, too. Rustal and Galan don't care about Tekkadan in the least, they're just useful tools to employ against McGillis. I wonder if "what is Tekkadan" is going to be a theme this season. They aren't just a group of scrappy kids anymore. They had to hire a stranger for their Earth Branch, they're gonna have to hire a whole lot more strangers to run that mine. Orga's goal of allowing all the Tekkadan kids to have non-miserable lives is going to require Tekkadan to expand way beyond the happy little family it was in season 1

I really hope the masked man spends the rest of the show giving confusing parables that the blonde girl pretends to understand

When in the first season it was all about the knights fighting to protect the princess, in the past it was about the knights fighting loving laser spewing robot dragons Your standing in the Seven Stars was determined by how many monsters you slew. That's badass.

Midjack posted:Sure, it probably was since the Gundam frames all seem to have it but it probably wasn't as common back then. The Gundams were the first Mobile Suits, and all non-Gundam Mobile Suits came after, right? So, you are right that there were no non-Gundam MS with nano-laminate armor during the Calamity War.

ImpAtom posted:I think the "literally all beam weapons ever are worthless, IBO is the STRONGEST!" is silly. It's impossible to say what precisely level it could stand up to without melting. We already know that Nanolaminate Armor can be melted by napalm for example. And almost every universe has a different explanation for "beam" weapons. Beams made of GN particles or Minovsky particles work on completely different principles than the beam weapons from Age or Wing

Adel posted:This is what I'm thinking as well and I hope it goes in this direction, but the logistics make it kinda tricky; how would they have descendents if they were stuck in their Gundams as life support after the war, invite a nice lady/guy into the cockpit for five minutes? And I still think the founders were kids themselves at the time, so that thought gets real uncomfortable real fast. Yeah, it would make sense if the original Families were "families" like Tekkadan. They only became hereditary things afterwards in order to keep power centralized
