It was recently declared that this is the best Gundam in decades. Is it true /a/?
>>133138279
watch it and find out
>>133138600
I already did and its great
>>133138279
Not even close
The show is pretty nice. These two guys are pretty shit though. One of the worst things about it.
>>133138914
Shit taste.

Not even fucking remotely.
>>133138279

>best gundam in decades
shows a lot about the quality of other gundam series if anything
>>133138914
pretty sure the aniki figure is going to die
>>133138982
>pretty sure the aniki figure is going to die
Me too. Another good thing about the show.
>>133138279
Wrong. The best gundam in the past decade is >>133138708
No, but it's the first non shit AU Gundam in a long ass fucking time. GBF doesn't really count with its meta plot. G-Shit, AGE, 00, and SEED were good awful.
>>133138914
I just find them really boring. No noticeable flaws at all.
>>133139192
For a main character, being really boring and uninteresting is a pretty serious flaw.
>>133138279
If you're a retard maybe.
I'm amazed talk of it died so quickly
I figured with who is writing it wouldn't be my thing but it might be a new normie gundam. But hype has died down pretty much everywhere. 5 episodes and there is still nothing to get really into
It seems like a show that lacks a lot of care or passion. Lot of lazy drawings to fix in BD and it will say stuff like "mika is doing minimal movement to dodge!" and then he'll do this >>133138887
>>133139211
This is true. Kudelia and Mika have had the most time so far and both still manage to be underdeveloped. Kudelia is annoying and Mika is just dull. The whole Tekkadan crew lack a really military brotherly banter thing going on as well which is especially a problem with Mika and Orga
>>133138279
Did you forgot about ZETA GUNDAM NIGGGA?
>>133139323I WANNA HAVE A PURE TIME
>>133139321
This gundam show is very simple. There isn't much to discuss or speculate about it.
>>133139321
That ED though.
>>133139321
At least there is romance anon
>>133138279

Wow, this guy's meme really caught on, huh?

>>133139211
He's none of those things though.
>>133139418
It's 5 episodes in, even simple shows have something after that. Even just character discussion
>>133139432
It's pretty nice, OP feels like it is trying to hard to be a DATABASE but sounds like some bad alt band
>>133139459
Mika and Kudelia/Atra have 0 chemistry.
>>133139459
Romance is the weakest part. No one cares about it.
>>133139192
>>133139211
>>133139321
>main character is boring
>main character has no development
i think mika's had plenty of characterizations but you just dont like them. for one, he's had that implant thing shoved into his spine 3 times despite the risk. he's a cold blooded fighter not afraid to execute people immediately. he's also a child.
>>133138279
I completely lost interest in it. At least Wing was funny, this is just boring.
>>133138982
>pretty sure the aniki figure is going to die
The moment he gives his scarf to someone else is the moment he dies.
>>133139631
With his own desire to see the moon. I wonder who has told him the meaning of his name.
>>133139536
>Mika and Kudelia/Atra have 0 chemistry.
Yeah, because Mika is a fucking robot with no personality.
>>133139163
[Reply]
>>133139741
Sorry, that meme doesn't hold any weight.
>>133139741
Mika has more personality than you, anon.
>>133139536
It would be difficult to have chemistry when Mika is barely a character. Maybe Kudelia's retardation will give him some personality somehow.
>>133139741
Kudelia makes me laugh, instead of doing research on her political stuff and preparing herself for all kind of scenarios, she running after a boy.
>>133139741
>>133139820
can't you just admit you like moe shit?
>>133138279
If you've never seen a Gundam series or mecha anime then sure.
>>133139869
What?
>>133139820
>Mika is barely a character
do you have autism?
>>133139820
It's bad since Kudelia is now only defined by a romance to the MC. She looses any character.
>>133139631
>characterizations
That isn't development and can still be very dull. He is very good at stuff, knows a lot and has little struggle with anything. This hasn't brought him to act arrogant or anything but just very dull, he just sort of goes along with everything and has little issue. He has no struggle, ambition or real goals outside a very basic philosophy that kids being mistreated is bad and that should stop.
The only thing that seems obvious to change with him is he might stop killing so easily but that can easily turn to melodrama and UNDERSTANDING.
>>133139811
What exactly is his alleged personality?
>>133139857
>implying real political figures in real life are well prepared to be in their position
>>133139930
I hated it when she decided to just give them money and that was her big thing. No actually learning stuff, just stay as a figure head with money who get lectured to by a manlet every now and then.
>>133139869
>admit
I do like "moeshit", that doesn't enter into it. I suggest you get the fuck out of /a/ if you seriously think that's a problem.
It's gundam for plebs. That should be obvious by how ANN, MAL and /a/ are raving about it.
>>133139964
>implying real political figures in real life are well prepared to be in their position
She is in a dire situation. She must to do it.
Mika is like Inaho from AZ but subservient
>first time fighting in space
>no problems at all
When will japan stop this?
>>133139459
I sense that a lot of people only bother following this show for that vapid aspect of it.
>>133140010
>ANN
They actually aren't. You can see a huge drop off in posters from episode 1 to now, was 200+ and now is about 80 each week
>>133139930
And Mika is defined by Orga. The whole show is full of dull one dimensional characters.
>>133140034
>implying again
>>133139741
That's up to Orga.
>>133139741
>robot with no personality.
The show is so stagnant that the threads are just boxes of troll bait. Even the few people who do confess their open plebian love for this show only have trolls to discuss it with.
>>133140036
He doesn't even fly. I'm talking atmospheric flight. He just goes straight to space. Not even Jesus Yamato did that.
>>133140086
Mika and Orga really need more time together. For apparent bros that have been together forever they have had like 3 scenes and it has just been
>Hey mika do the thing
>okay
Where is the banter and brotherly love?
>>133139930
>It's bad since Kudelia is now only defined by a romance to the MC
Huh? Did I miss something?
>>133140086
>And Mika is defined by Orga
Not at all. They don't even spend much time together, which was pretty unexpected and disappointing.
>>133140129
So he acts like a monkey when his PTSD is triggered, but still acts like a robot the rest of the time. Still boring and uninteresting.
>>133140144
This. I can totally feel the chemistry between Pink-haired Kamina and Kittan Mk II, but Edgy Simon is too autistic.
>>133140129
Isn't that exactly robotic? Prompted to act the same every time some conditions are met without anything else in his mind.
>>133140195
>WAAAAH I DONT LIKE HIM AS A CHARACTER
go watch NGE if you want constant in your face revelations of character flaws
>>133140257
I'm glad we can agree that he's shit and boring as a character at least.
>>133140036
>Only fought in it twice up until then
>No MS training
>Any simulation training he did have would be for MWs which can't fly
They really have no idea about build up. Mika has yet to struggle on anything
He really needs taken down a peg. I hope next time Char just 1v1s him and just beats the shit out of him only being saved by the Barbatos' armour. They could do fuck all when there was like 4 v 1 so I doubt it
>>133140248
I think Okada is trying to write Mika as a broken person who can only react awkwardly at best and violently at worst. But its just not translating into animation well at all.
>>133140305
>being autistic and illiterate
>>133140330
It just lacks a lot of the subtly needed for that as well. He comes uncaring rather than broken, someone who is use to it and just became low level to deal with it
>>133140347
>being this mad
I'm telling you precisely why he sucks. Can you give me a single reason he's good for anything? Can you name anything about him that I could possibly make him interesting for me? Because I would love that. I like the show and he's a shit stain ruining it for me, so cleaning that stain would be great.
Kudelia's mother face so mad in the 5th ep. I wonder if Kudelia's mother might the one who has ordered bang bang on her own daughter.
>>133140435
>can you give me a single reason he's good for something?
what? why does he need to be good for something?
>can you name anything about him that might make him interesting
i mean he's had plenty of characterizations by this point and if you find him uninteresting then it's probably your personal opinion more than it is a portrayal of how bad he is as a character. you're kinda being ridiculously autistic here.
>>133140518
We saw first episode it was her father. The show was very subtle about telling us he was a coward who bended to their will as well
>>133140534
So you got nothing. Thanks, I'll retain my opinion that he's boring as fuck.
>>133140586
Stick to your seedshit, boy.
I'm a long time Gundam fan. As in I've watched every single entry into the franchise going back to 1979. My favourite are 0079, 0080: War in the Pocket, and Turn A.
I am loving Gundam IBO so far. It has great potential to be counted among the above for my favourite Gundam series of all time. Still early days, but if it keeps it up I think we're looking at a solid 9/10 show.
>>133140586
>literally whole thread full of reasons why people find him interesting
>"So you got nothing."
i guess you really are autistic and illiterate
>>133140569
>The show was very subtle
It stuck out like cookies and crackers on a dish of sausages
>>133140614
>>133140634
>if I call him a bunch of things and get the last word it mean I won
>>133139459
I can't wait for them to fuck each brains out
>>133140569
>subtle
I like the show, but it's not subtle at all.
>>133140391
He's joked around with Orga, shown concern for Takaki, handled what could have been an awkward situation pretty gracefully with the mechanic, scolded Eugene for getting too rowdy, and shown a somewhat playful/competitive side during that practice round with the mobile workers in the first episode. Is that subtle enough for you?
>>133140646
>>133140699
I don't think you grasp the subtle master works of the show desu
Want to know a real mind blowerThey set up hitler's betrayal an episode before
>>133140065
People desperately want the show to transition to an exciting trainwreck. Any spectacle is better than no spectacle at this point.
>>133140690
>literally whole thread full of mika characterizations and why people find him interesting
>nope i'll just keep repeating the same argument that he's not interesting
>even tho it could totally be like my personal opinion i'll shove it up everyone's ass
>>133140738
Hitler's betrayal was obvious from the 1st ep.
>>133140702
All those examples were him saying is he okay or it's okay in a monotone apart from with a blank face pulling a guy down
>somewhat playful/competitive side during that practice round
What because he did well? No it wasn't playful
But I guess one small moment in most episodes is enough to say he has a character
>>133140696
Anon they've been pushing Mika/Princess hard. I'm so sorry.
>>133140702
You're responding to Recofags who have the attention span of a flea anon senpai
>>133140738
Heckling the show about that is kinda like tackling a retard and laughing at this point.
I'm here for the soap opera.
Where's the soap opera Okada, I was promised soap opera.
>>133138279
I'm still waiting for romance, sex and good villains, but the protagonists are great.
>>133140917
Kudelia is your soap opera.
If you watch IBO backwards, it turns into Valvrave.
Screencap this for when it comes true.
I like brown Kamina.
Mikazuki's eyebrows are just a little too thick.
Biscuit's sisters are delicious.
Kudelia's the first blonde gundam girl I've liked in a long time, Atra cute too.
Candyman scares me.
>>133140946
Fedora Fellini is going to deliver romance and sex. It's in the OP.
>>133140946
>good villains

Hell no

>Chocolate Man
New Gundam with pre-made memes.
>>133140946
Don't worry, soon we'll have a scene of Orga using Mika's spinal things to stimulate his tiny penis.
People who say no to IBO being the best gundam in decades, which gundam was better than IBO since the 2000's?

>People desperately want the show to transition to an exciting trainwreck
I enjoy the restrain IBO is showing so far, it's not particularly interesting but it's not all over the place like 00 S2.
>>133141214
The restraint is pointless, it's an Okada anime why would you watch an Okada anime if it isn't going full derp in dorama?
>>133141125
>inb4 G-reco
G-Reco.
>>133140791
>>133141244
>>133141214
It's like restrained Nicolas Cage, why bother?
>>133141244
It's Nagai's anime. Okada only writes het romance.
>>133141244
>why would you watch an Okada anime
I'm watching it because it's Gundam, not because it's Okada. People who don't get something this basic never watched Gundam.
>>133141306
>Nicholas Cage will never voice an anime character
>>133141244
Anon, it's watched, because it's GUNDAM.
>>133141333
>don't get something this basic
People get it, but what they get is just not very interesting
>>133140010
What Gundam isn't for plebs?
>>133141329
>Okada only writes het romance.
>>133140534
At the moment, it's pretty much "sympathetic orphaned child soldiers with no negative personality flaws versus cartoonishly bumbling evil adults".
>>133141333
But Gundam is historically terrible.
I should know, I'm from /m/. Even G-Reco is bogged down by Tomino quirks to the point it undermines whatever social commentary it may be going for.
More edgy war shit for 14 year olds. SoL gundam when?
>>133141521
>But Gundam is historically terrible
Stop putting everything into the AZ/VVV bag.
Blow your brains out if you ever mention that Seed or its terrible sequel Seed Destiny are even in the running. I feel disgusted just reading that crap.
>>133141554
Valvrave is literally one of the better Gundam AUs out there, precisely because it doesn't get shackled down by the Gundam name.

That's ChocoChar.
>>133141833
It's not catching on
>>133141792
G-Reco requires the viewer to really, really pay attention to be enjoyed properly.
>>133140791
Basically this. People want this to go full Okada trainwreck also keep if it would be like it most of the threads would be nothing than 24/7 shitposting.
>>133141004
So far the most he did was to offer candies to little girls and be an exposition machine on the battlefield.
>>133141937
No you just have to not be stupid.
>>133142037
That too but paying attention is extremely important, lots of details everywhere, abundant terminology you need to grasp asap. In the defense of the people who understood jack shit about Reco, watching it weekly really made it difficult to follow comfortably.
>>133142004
>exposition machine
to be fair that s everyone. Apart from Kudelia, the one with an education and been doing speeches on this for ages who seems to not even know what an orphan is
>>133142159
Kudelia is pretty much nothing but a moefu so far.
>>133139631
>he's a cold blooded fighter not afraid to execute people immediately. he's also a child.
So he's Heero 2.0.
>>133142210
I want her to be killed
Is there any hime in gundam who gets killed in the story?
>>133142352Emma was a princess in my heart
>>133142352
Nope
>>133142110
Not to mention a lot of exposition is dropped in offhand conversations. Whereas, at least in IBO so far, characters speak aloud their entire thought process and explain stuff to each other that they already know.
can i watch this if i only watched g-gundam and wing?
>>133142110
I found weekly made it easier as you had time to digest and talk about it with people, well in-between the shit flinging
>basically a male kuudere and autist
>good
Gundam had so many melodrama queens, people have Stockholm syndrome
>>133139321
>I figured with who is writing it wouldn't be my thing
That's because she's not given full control over the project.
>>133142751
Orga is the opposite of an autist.
Baby first Sociopathic Protagonist desu senpai baka.
>>133142816
Wrong thread
>>133142807
He is talking about Kudelia and Mika.
Mika is okay but he has that same dogmatic belief in Gundam. Instead of I am Gundam Seiei, he believes in some perfect ideal of brotherhood. For sure he'll start chanting soon, like the psycho he is.
>>133142935
Kudelia isn't an autist either.
>>133142352
None.
>>133142532
Don't forget the pretty self explanatory pictures coming with every exposition dump.
>>133143080
>can't read emotions
>can't understand simple tasks
>pretty stupid (education probably just retard care)
>clumsy

I dunno anon
Maybe he is like the hunie boo boo of mars and not really in charge of any movement
>>133143292
She's just inexperienced anon.
>>133143428
Mika, a guy who grew up on the streets, knows more about everything than her. She was aparntly doing speeches on this shit but has no idea
I think that maid may really be a tard wrangler
>>133142399
>>133143209
>>133142478
So what are you saying is that in every godamm Gundam, the Mc falls in love with the princess and gets married qith her? If thats the case then holy fuck how boring knowing how it all ends everytime
>>133140835
I still think Atra has a change of winning the Mika bowl.
>>133143608
>the Mc falls in love with the princess and gets married qith her?
nope
>>133143704
Why would you want her to win a fucking psychopath desu?
If you like her you'd wish she gets as far away from Mika as possible desu.
>>133143608
Are they yuri yet?
>>133143080
>>133143292
Time will tell, but if in the coming episodes Atra proves to be more competed that her, who it's nothing more than an orphan country girl, with the only purpose in the series of been an actual moe blob, I will lose a lot of hope for Kundelia, still I hope she its actually good when the politics discourses start
>>133143886
Maybe because people for once want a psycho for a MC?
Not to mention that he seems to feel nice around Atra.
>>133143886
He's not a psychopath.
>>133143936
>civilian woman being nothing but a moe blob
realistic then
>>133143936
>still I hope she its actually good when the politics discourses start
She'll just repeat what Mika has told her and that it was so hard guys we were shot at a lot
I just hope for an edit with this

>>133144077
Then sociopath or an autist.
Whatever it is, he's mentally unstable desu.

No, not at all. Princesses not dying has nothing to do with any kind or pairing nonsense.

Oh good its a shame this series is going to be full shipping thanks to Okada
>>133146228

Yeah, me neither.

>>133146898

>>133143750
Someone really wanted to spam Marina Ismail losing.
>>133143750
If Shia won, why do all the Try doujins involve Fumina?
>>133150423
Was there even a winner? Everything was somewhat vague
>>133150423
Because Shia was Mikono.
It's my first Gundam, but it made me very curious about the franchise. Until now, I never find a good reason to see it, but now I will see the others Gundam around because of IBO.

Not their fault she lost in three different opportunities

>midseries kiss
>atra is a childhood friend in a GUNDAM SHOW WRITTEN BY OTAKA
Kekdelia is btfo
>>133154569
Well things like that are what keeps threads alive
Which named good guys do you think will die first? I think Biscuit will get rekt soon.
>mfw 00 is better
>>133138887
>Cherrypicking
That was only one part of the fight.

Think that guy from the human debris, I think his name its Dante he has hardly do anything and there is little to no info of him, he seems expendable to me, form the man group maybe Norba, he is the happy guy that’s not really that important, he it’s close to the others so that can work
>>133140835
Atra put a bracelet on it. That has to count for something, right?
>>133139741
Mika has shown concern for Kudelia and appreciation for Atra's gift. Him talking back to Kudelia in ep.1 and talking about Akihiro shows that he's grounded about their situation. He's also capable of smiling and having quirks like eating wherever.
That's more personality than what Heero or Setsuna has shown in 5 episodes.

kill yourself senpai
some of the best ms designs in the entire franchise
I hope Orga dies, Eugene would have been a far more interesting chracter.
>>133149169
I wish 'shit' was a new filter too, because every lazy faggot on this site just uses the word as if it means anything anymore to say 'thing i don't like'.
>>133143750
There'll be Recongista movies, my bet is that Noredo will win.
It's not like she has competition.
>>133158172
Don't kill him already.
>>133143750
Ennil wasn't even trying. It was obvious that Tiffa was going to win since there was no competition
update
>>133140518
she was mad?
>>133158172
A solid third of the show is just Orga making this face.
>>133140835
damnit no, princess is going to wake up to the fact that orga is in her vicinity
she has to
>>133140993
I'd rather it be atra and mika
>>133149909
It's obvious that Exia/00 gundam was the winner in both seasons and the movie though. Setsuna even becomes one with Qant.
>>133141792
I think we can give G-Reco this.
>>133142584
yes. this is true of all au gundam. no previous knowledge required.
>>133160705
I'd rather it be Orga and Mika.
See? I can play the About To Be Disappointed game, too.
Guys, I don't think we're addressing the most important part about this new Gundam series.When and where will Haro show up?
>>133142306
At least Heero had fun with it
>>133144566
>charm
uh
Make your bets. Orga will:
>die
or
>turn evil
>>133146822
Depressed because he missed.
How much suffering will he suffer?
>>133161222
Seems like he'll be that kind of character who's life will be ruined by the MC's but will never actually die. I expect him to be around until the lat 3 episodes or so until he dies while bitterly cursing Mika or Orga. Might also turn insane considering how its still pretty early and he already seems to be losing it.
