There was also the cool Hakuren pilot who isn't one dimensional as she liked helping out with meal duties with Atra and playing with one of Naze's babies.

Here for the second thread tagging
I was hoping Barbatos would be upgraded using scraps of Graze or Hyakuren, but no, it was upgraded using unlimited budget...kinda take away the space-punk feels of it...

Once again another excellent episode. Good pacing and character moments, its nice to see that IBO can keep up the quality even when Mobile suits aren't bashing each other around (though hopefully we get back to that soon).
Next week it looks like it'll be a half exposition half action episode and what interests me is that it looks like we'll finally get a glimpse into Atra and Mika's pasts.

I love how character-focused this is. One of the best Gundam shows in ages.

It's not done yet, so judging it one of the best is quite premature.
Just like when 00 Season 1 started and everyone praised it and then season 2 happened.

For me, while I recognise and appreciate how well constructed it is (especially compared to the mess that is G-Reco) nothing about it has really gotten my blood pumping yet. When 00 was airing I couldn't wait for the next episode, but with this show nothing has me wishing it was Sunday already.

Re: The Official Gundam Iron-Blooded Orphans Anime Thread Mk
Well the first episode cliff-hanger really impressed me. But you are right, every weeks it feels less urgent that say when 00 premiered way back then.Destiny_Gundam wrote:For me, while I recognise and appreciate how well constructed it is (especially compared to the mess that is G-Reco) nothing about it has really gotten my blood pumping yet.

So far this show has demonstrated that it is about the characters, which is kind of nice but I think they could amp a bit the MS combat -you can't sell that many kits without display the toys after all!
As per the last episode, I can't be the only one that chuckled at the cannoli right?

Re: The Official Gundam Iron-Blooded Orphans Anime Thread Mk
I'm expecting more action from now, since the Turbines/Tekkadan team's been assembled. I liked that they were willing to have no action at all, not even to spice things up.
Re: The Official Gundam Iron-Blooded Orphans Anime Thread Mk
I'm still clutching my hope of this series being a traditional 50 episode series with a deathgrip. If it does turn out Bandai intends to follow up with another 25 episodes, then the current eps can afford to spend ample time with low key character molding.

Ep. 11 ''Human Debris'' summary:
Akihiro and Takaki left Isaribi to patrol when they encountered an unknown enemy thus sparking a battle. This enemy is Brewers, pirates that attack the Mars/Earth route
I wonder if it was Brewers that killed Akihiro's parents and sold him into slavery...

Re: The Official Gundam Iron-Blooded Orphans Anime Thread Mk
I felt that after episode 4 00's plot lost a lot of urgency. It was pretty much a repeat of who Celestrial Being is gonna pick a fight with this time and the end of each episode or arc did very little to advance the plot. It wasn't until the three factions teamed up against CB and the arrival of the Trinity siblings that the plot gained some steam again. Though thankfully the show remained entertaining with its fights, some decent character moments, and unique political setting.Destiny_Gundam wrote:For me, while I recognise and appreciate how well constructed it is (especially compared to the mess that is G-Reco) nothing about it has really gotten my blood pumping yet.

IBO may not have the political drama (yet) or as much action as we usually see in gundam series, but in spite of that its characters have me looking forward to the show each Sunday. They aren't great yet but I find myself liking IBO's cast of characters much more than a lot of other Gundam series' characters (at this point in the series that is).
Aye, same here. While I think IBO could still end up being a good series if it decides to be primarily a character driven story, having another 25 or even 12 episodes would open up a lot of potential for the show especially on the political side of things. The last two episodes have shown that Gjallarhorn isn't the only major player in this universe as there are the 4 economic blocks and factions like Teiwaz that stand to gain or loss something from Kudelia's diplomatic mission. All these factions butting heads with each other could lead to some interesting political drama to say the least.Amion wrote:I'm still clutching my hope of this series being a traditional 50 episode series with a deathgrip.

Re: The Official Gundam Iron-Blooded Orphans Anime Thread Mk
Setup is important to good political drama if done rightly. We could be in for non-stop cloak and dagger during the Earth Arc exactly because we were told the bits and pieces before the actual political wheels were presented to us in the episodes proper.
And about the fighting: technically we've had more episodes with fighting than not, just without the focus being exclusively MS.

I am still hoping they're going to pull a Nadleeh out of the Guison.
It looks totally strange to be named Gundam.

Re: The Official Gundam Iron-Blooded Orphans Anime Thread Mk
I like the Guison. A new take on a Gundam design, but I still like it. Now, that giant hammer it's carrying is an entirely different matter, but still.

Maybe they would take a step further by give it full transformation sequence with flashy bubbles in background, end with blooming flowers and Ranka Wink.Mythgarr wrote:I am still hoping they're going to pull a Nadleeh out of the Guison.
Joke, , I actually like how it look. It's like taking a step that SeeD miss - now the term "Gundam" is given new context, why should they bound by the look?

Re: The Official Gundam Iron-Blooded Orphans Anime Thread Mk
Has Gundam ever been bound by the look in-universe? I don't think there's anything that actually prevents anyone from naming their mobile suit, Gundam.Kuruni wrote:now the term "Gundam" is given new context, why should they bound by the look?
