What did you guys think about Iron Blooded Orphans? I was honestly surprised about how much I liked it and I'm happy it's returning this fall.
>>139251633
7/10, it was awful

>>139252362
For a short time fafner exodus was discussed maturely amongsts fans of the series, even if a bit cirlejerky the show was excellent and huge improvement over the previous flawed seasons so it was deserved.
then coincidentally when some Japanese director dude said the series was way better than G-reco and it outperformed g-rekt both commercially and crtiically the threads started getting alot more shitposting near the end. Such a weird coincidence.
>>139252446
>>not having a mech fight every fucking episode like most gundams, it only weakens the excitement of them when they are every ep
While on one hand I agree with you, this only works if the mech fights that you do actually have are visually compelling or dramatic, and IBO botched both fronts. Every single mech fight was just a bunch of poorly animated shots of Mika curbstomping everything.
I liked it, I'll give it a 7 or 8/10, and it gets extra points for all the undeserved butthurt and anger it's caused on /m/
My favourite Gundam series I've ever watched while its aired desu (Been a Gundam fan since 2007, seen all series, OVAs films, etc years ago)
>>139251982
The first ending was great. You can tell they want to bring it back too.
Dropped it 14 episodes in, did the princess win the Mika?
>>139252750
Polygamy.
>>139252438
all those threads filled with
>GREKT was so good
>THIS is trash
>WORST GUNDAM EVER
that was one of the best day in the year
>>139252766
Even better.
Dropped it after Fumi-tan's death.
>>139252580
>Every single mech fight was just a bunch of poorly animated shots of Mika curbstomping everything
poorly animated yes, but curb stomping no, the only real curb stomp was the fight against the 2nd crank fight and carta, IBO especially when compared to other gundam's has some of the more fair fights in the series and mika honestly didnt win that many fights when you really look at it, he loses his first fight against crank and ein cause he runs out of gas, has to flee from a few fights against gallio and charcolate man, couldnt beat carta & guards in their 2nd fight causing biscuit to die, and winds up in a tie near loss against lafter.
Most gundam shows have the main protagonists pretty much slaughter their enemies in large numbers, especially amuro, uso, and in the autistic range heero and setsuna. Im pretty sure domon and garrod never lost a fight. Mika has outright lost fights and the final fight even though he won curb stomp style near the end he did go blind and become a cripple as a result.
>>139252674
that scene where he promises to take care of his sister was pure gold
I dropped it at episode 10 because it was literally putting me to sleep
what do you think is going happen next season?
The show had a very promising premise, but they kinda squandered it. It could have been much better if they didn't waste the middle part of the show on pointless bullshit.
At first I thought I was going to like Kudelia since it felt like they were going to make her a subversion of the idealistic peace princess character. They made her a worthless idiot who doesn't know anything about anything. But in the end, that meant nothing. She moped around a bit about how worthless she is, but everyone else kept praising her and fawning over her, despite her literally not accomplishing anything at all in her entire life.
The only reason she wasn't the worst character in the show is because Merribit existed. You're an accountant working for space mafia and you're sent on a mission where a bunch of child soldiers die and you go and moralize to those child soldiers about how revenge and murder is bad in the middle of a battle? Go kill yourself you fucking cunt. Atra fawning over Kudelia and sucking her dick constantly made me hate her too.
Final episode was okay. It would have been great if they didn't pussy out and show the dead characters from previous episode miraculously surviving. ChocoChar was one of the more entertaining Char clones, and the best asshole in Gundam since Ribbons. It was hilarious how he fucked over his two childhood friends. I hope Mika doesn't mellow out in season two, his psycho talk with Orga near the end was one of the highlights of the show, alongside Carta's pathetic death.
>>139252843
Domon couldn't really lose a fight since his whole show was one big tournament. And even then he lost to Master Asia a few times as well as a few other fights.
WHERES MY FUCKING BARBATOS MASTER GRADE
/m/ hates it, which means it's obviously a superior specimen.
>>139252932
I dont remmember him losing to master asia, i think the first time he revealed himself as the villain domon couldnt bring himself to fight but domon without a doubt kicked his ass in the mid season fight and the final fight at the end of the tournament.
the only fight domon lost was a hand to hand with shwartz
>>139252911
mika is going to go the route of ein and become setsuna's dream
>>139253086
>buying toys
the protagonists are shits, I did cheer for the wicked
>>139253216
This nigga doesnt buy cool toys
>>139251633
Utter disappointment for me.
I dont believe i'll be watching s2. It showed some promise in the first episodes only to drop it hard.
The pacing was horrendous, the plot seemed simple yet they botched it and it wasnt interesting at all.
Also the characters were annoying and tiring.
Honestly, the only good thing it has going fot it is the OST.
It was shit.
>>139253216
>>139251633
Had promise at first, but I tapped out before it was halfway over.
>>139251795
What did /m/ hate the ending so much for?
Also
>They all died I'm telling you!
I told you they weren't dead. Where's all the "she's been turned into tomato sauce" comments now?
>>139253293
Started going downhill after meeting the Turbines which is funny because the Turbines were far more interesting than Tekkadan
>>139252175
The only reason I might watch the second season is to see McGillis get destroyedHe won't be though because if Okada decided Tekkadan was right all along and Merribit was wrong. Then clearly McGillis is doing nothing wrong.
Poor Gelio, he didn't deserve so much suffering.
>>139252750
Unless something change in the next season, currently there is no clear conclusion but it seems it will end in harem >>139252766

IBO could have been good.
>>139251633
its only really been ok the past couple of episodes, the middle just dragged on and on
animation was consistantly awful though
i have no idea what studio 3 were doing, not a huge fan of their visual style but they can really animate a fight when they want too
>>139253387
they didnt say merbit was wrong though, they pretty blatently showed that tekkadan lost alot of lives even though they werent named characters. Merbit was just relieved seeing them still being alive afterwords
>>139253333
>all that blood
>Azee just has a headache
>Lafter was screaming because she was getting tomato sauce all over her anesan's ride
Surprisingly fair opinions from /a/ about the series.
I guess I was just used to /m/ shitting on it the entire time it aired.
>>139253377
Honestly the addition of the turbines is what really dragged the show into the ground. As soon as tekkadan reached earth and orga stopped listening to merribit and didnt have naze holding his hand anymore things picked up
>>139253569
This show is literally Aldnoah Zero.
From the little girl driving princess in the humvy, to everyone "dying" in the end.
>>139252813
No I've else died who matters.
Okay who will tell Cookie and Cracker?
>>139253437
The few darker episodes such as pic related were written by Okada herself. I wonder how most of the events would have turned out if they had let her loose.
It merely reinforced my opinion that Okada is a hack.
>>139253686
This comparison has always been grasping at straws and only become more retarded as it went along. The only real comparisons are just common in mecha/sci fi anime in general. The fact that mika's lack of expressive emotions is an actual plotpoint rather than just the excuse A/Z used to not write a fucking character is the real dividing line between what the 2 shows are really going for.
>>139253568
Nameless mooks aren't people, no one cares about them
McGillis is the best attempt in any franchise to recapture Char's appeal. He has the charisma, the scheming, and the well-hidden, but unyielding rage that really made Char who he was. All other attempts to recreate the character really fell flat in comparison. Definitely the highlight of the show for me.
I liked the mecha design and the scaled-down plot interested me. I suspect part 2 will scale the plot up to more typical Gundam proportions, but we'll see.
My biggest gripe, on the other hand, were the severely telegraphed deaths and the fakeouts. Although I'm tempted to say the fakeout spree in 24 was homage to Tomino's "kill 'em all" (especially since at that point it was believed that the series was ending), but despite that suspicion it still felt really cheap and pointless. I hope this kind of thing doesn't happen as much in S2.
On a misc note: I wonder what they'll do with Merribit in S2, if anything. Her character and perspective were interesting to me, like she was an adult spectator in the middle of a Lord of the Flies-esque tempest.
Really puts into perspective how stupid the average anime fan is when so many people can't comprehend the intention behind Merribit.
>>139253638
I've been discussing the show in quite a few places, /m/ was the only one that was being negative, general consensus elsewhere is that while not overwhelming praise its generally considered to be one of the best things to come from the mainline franchise in a long as time. Thats not saying much because the franchise has been ass for a while but its still gotten a very good reception for the most part. /m/ just likes to disregard any other place thats not them as being some casual view to the world of mecha
>>139251633
Below average gundam series, but not awful. The dort and brewers arcs were the worst parts and are in bad need of a rewrite.
Looking forward to the second season, especially if the director change is true.
>>139253904
Explain it then or you're just tipping your fedora
>>139253939
>especially if the director change is true.

>>139253997
Pretty sure they're never letting him touch a gundam series again.
>>139252750
Kudelia stays on Earth, Atra goes back to Mars with Mika. Both still care about him but the romance is never really developed or given much focus.
>>139253844
>McGillis is the best attempt in any franchise to recapture Char's appeal. He has the charisma, the scheming, and the well-hidden, but unyielding rage that really made Char who he was.

He has the potential to be one of the best chars in general, in terms of competence hes already pretty much wrecked all the chars including the original. I love that masked pedo as much as the next guy but char was a fucking idiot who ended up causing a whole heap of problems for the zeon and screwed himself over hard after the events of 079 basically losing everything including his identity. Mcgillis single handidly played both sides and at the moment gained a leading position without losing anything that he intentionally didnt lose. The guy has pretty much won what char was trying to do in 25 episodes where as it took char 2 entire shows, 1 show off screen to finally get that position in CCA.
>>139251633
Dropped it a little after the maid or whoever died. It was awfully boring and uninteresting.
Also the animation was ass.
>>139253844
>McGillis is the best attempt in any franchise to recapture Char's appeal.
Don't even have to read the rest of your fucking post to know you're full of shit
>>139253997
like he would be able to direct a series in time for fall. He already said his next show wont be finished until 2 fucking years from now.
Tomino you were flawed as fuck but i loved you, however you need to hang it up already your just not capable of what you used to be.
Meh, better than Seed, but that's not saying much.
>>139253997
When has Tomino ever taken over a series halfway through? He likes to be in creative control right from the start.
>>139254195
Seed really isnt the lowest point in the series, i think people just go after it cause its the most popular one, it definetly doesnt deserve that but seed is more just kind of bad rather than outright awful (seed destiny is awful though). Id say stardust memory is the real shitstain of the series.
>>139253686
Even worse they brought them back in the same season and they weren't even mcs.
They wasted so much time with Ein and in the end he accomplished nothing.
>>139253710
I wonder if the guy who wanted to tell them had a crush on one of them. It would be fun to see love blooming among those poor kids.
>>139253907
>/m/ just likes to disregard any other place thats not them as being some casual view to the world of mecha
And how can you blame them? The shitters who are now praising IBO as "one of the best things to come from the mainline franchise in a long as time" are the same shitters who just a year ago praised AZ.
>>139254357
0083 at least has some good animation porn, SEED and Destiny don't even have that.
>>139251633
>What did you guys think about Iron Blooded Orphans?
Kudelia is an analogy for the show itself. It does nothing right but people call it amazing either to save face or out of spite or because they know no better.
>>139254378
That was the point of Ein though. He was a raging faggot who let his butthurt consume him and was used by others as a result. He wallowed in the past and couldn't move forward and so he accomplished nothing.
>>139251633
Fucking terrible but I dropped it halfway. Kudelia was especially insufferable but the whole cast was bad. Felt like a worse AZ/SEED.
I would rather it didn't return because it took a bite out of Arslan's slot.
>>139254440
The fact that 083 was beautiful animation wise makes me hate it more though, cause that amazing animation is wasted on literally the worst script to ever grace this series.
>>139254532
That doesn't make it not shit. His character is completely one dimensional and irrelevant.
>>139254448
Got a laugh out of meI agree though
>>139254532
>The point of a character is to be a raging faggot and waste time
Then don't fucking write such a shit character. Especially if you don't want to kill off the shallow doujin bait.
It just shows how terrible the writing in this was.
>>139253387
>McGillis is reading Machiavelli
>>139253387
What did McGillis do wrong, though? Killing spoiled retards who have their head too far up their own ass to beat a bunch of child soldiers isn't wrong, so that doesn't count.
I won't watch any Gundam if it involves an innocent girl dying.
>>139254077
>The guy has pretty much won what char was trying to do in 25 episodes where as it took char 2 entire shows, 1 show off screen to finally get that position in CCA.
What the fuck are you talking about? Char's whole ambition was to get revenge for the death of his mother and father at the hands of the Zabis and he accomplished that at the end of 0079. In Zeta he reformed and took on a different goal and was more of a mentor/bro than a rival his mindset changed again in CCA when he got caught up in his father's teachings. McGillis took 25 episodes to accomplish what Char did in 0079 during that span he doesn't do anything nor does he have a profound impact on the fucking main cast, he's just a mouthpiece to provide exposition and his only accomplishment is fooling two retards on a whim. He suffers the exact same problem as Zechs and Rau i.e. he's a fanfic version of Char made by someone who didn't understand his character.
>>139252915
I was hoping that Merribit would become a cum dump for the kids.
>>139254437
And /m/ are the shitters who praised G-Reco.
They have zero credibility.

He's an asshole.

CCA Char is him on his midlife crisis. He's not trying to be cool because he's generally playing the role as a clown
>>139255009
You do realize that by making posts like these you only prove my point further, right?
>>139251633
5/10. I almost forgot that there were robots on this thing. The finale had almost no action and just autistic dialogues. And everybody survived somehow. Prolly the worst ending on the franchise so far.
>>139253569
Look, let's be honest here. The damage to the mobile suits were either in nonfatal places &/or wasn't deep enough. The cockpit was breached, but never in a way that meant guaranteed death for the pilots. /m/ is just so used to the bridge bunnies dying, they refuse to accept anything less. They're too set in their ways.
>>139251633
The beginning was promising, the middle was dumb, poorly written and kinda boring, the ending was retarded but entertaining.
Overall I give it a 5/10, maybe lower.

>>139255371
Yeah it's not like it's just a badly written and boring show that has to rely on character "death" and cheap drama to generate autistic discussion like so many before it.
>>139255341
No.
>>139255563
IBO was more about mental trauma of war than death. High body count isn't necessary for that, not to mention, you can't milk drama from dead people. Only time people die is if it generates more drama from everyone else than from themselves if they were still alive.
I have been cheated want my time back

Fafner sucks.
I dropped it after about six episodes. It was really pretty stupid. I can't believe it's getting a season two while so many other shows never will.

Ein accomplished everything he was intended to. Just none of it is what he intended to.
It was alright. If nothing else I'm glad it exists for the day I can use Barbatos and the dinosaw in VS and musou games.

It was disappointing. It picked up in the last 3 or so episodes though, purely thanks to Gaelio, McGillis, and Ein.
I think maybe the biggest problem the show has is the characters. They're just so fucking uninteresting. Everyone in Tekkadan could just go, I wouldn't mind. It's a real testament that Gaelio get's so much attention from the audience because he's the only character with interesting things going on.
And man, fuck these people saying "hurr /m/ being /m/", there were so many people prepared to love it when it aired, and for the first few episodes people were hopeful. Of course there were people prepared to shit on it from day 1, but to say that's all of /m/, or even most of it, is disingenuous.

>>139252843
The Brewers fight was just Boss Brewers screaming for help killing Mika while he ran away and threw grunts at Mika. Gali and Chocoman routed them a few times but that was less because of skill and more because it was Tekkadan's job to run away at that moment.
And yeah, other characters struggle in fights, but never Mika. Mika is just a mulcher of enemy foes. At least Domon had to earn his wins whereas up until the finale all Mika did was occasionally huff a bracelet while commenting on the fight like a disinterested observer.

It's a pretty nice kit, the 2nd pair of arms struggles to hold the weapons but I got it basically for a quad wield and I am happy. Only downside is the base gusion I will never use
Man, poor Gali Gali.
Him, Ein and Carta got played so hard, man.
Is Chocolate Man the best Char clone ever?
>>139251633
Some people didn't seem to like the character design style, but that (except for some of the antagonist designs) and some of the soundtrack were the only things I liked about it past the first few episodes.
>>139262282
Go for it. You'll also get Pepe gundam
>>139261660
>>139261953
She is from Okada Show?
>>139262689
Yes.
>>139260461
And killing the three pilots would accomplish something? He would've lost to Mika anyway, and there'd be no way to convey the drama of their deaths effectively. Shino is too important in Tekkadan to be killed off in a single episode without a follow up. The girls dying would put a rift between Orga and Naze too serious to be dealt with in half an episode. It just wasn't happening. Ein's entire point was his fojobait with Garma and how heartbroken he was when McGillis revealed he fucked them both over.
Certainly not the best gundam but i liked it a lot. I hope Sunrise will put actual budget on it for the second seasond to avoid QUALITY.
Chocolate man literally disgusted me in the last ep, what an asshole.Gali Gali is still alive r-right ?
>>139261660
>>139261953
>>139262741
She was the Mac Gills of wixoss?
I liked it until the 3 that died somehow lived.
Bullshit.
>>139254750
He literally set up and murdered his best friend
After telling him he'll dick her down right
Why do people trust blondes in this show again?
>>139260049
Anon, just what exactly did Kudelia viewed firsthand throughout the season? And whom did she lose as consequence of said event? People besides soldiers are affected by war.
>>139263060
>After telling him he'll dick her down right
After telling him he'll dick his little sister down right*
>>139263121
>>139263060
He agreed to it.
>>139263060
Carta's blonde lackeys were pretty loyal, even if they were useless
>>139262883
Gali Gali will be the Char of season 2.
>>139258048
>Gaelio get's so much attention from the audience because he's the only character with interesting things going on.
KEK What interesting things?
>job to Mika
>chase some fucking brats through half the solar system for revenge
>HURRR we will defeat Tekkadan Ein for this is our single character motivation Ein
>jobs again
>Ein gets fucked because of him
>gets fucked over by Char in a by-the-book manner
>pity party ensue
I honestly felt more for Shino mourning the nameless kids who died in the brewers arc than for the entire retardedly dramatic fujobait between Gaelio and Ein. Which is essentially just Ein throwing himself dramatically in front of Gaelio over and over.
>>139262996
Ironically enough, she's the Gali-Gali of Wixoss.
>>139262996
Not in a million years.
She loses, HARD.
>>139263232
I dont remember him being agreeable to anything after getting played like a fucking fiddle
>>139260871
But this is more or less how child soldiers would behave. The whole Biscuit martyrdom was the weirder part, although they did just basically fought a war for him so cut them some slack. Sense of relief is completely in place after what they've been through.
>>139252766
>>139253411
Wow this is really stupid.

Why shouldn't they?

>was the traitor in the initial draft isntead of Hitler
Hmm
>>139263933
He's gonna do something nasty to Shino.
>>139251633
It was fucking boring
>>139251934
Gundam always has great music so that's hardly surprising
>>139252769
It's literally whatever is the currently airing one that is the worst to /m/. Wait for the season 1 was the greatest thing ever trend to start up in the fall when the second season airs
>>139265366
Even still, IBO has one of the best OST's ever, man.
Even /m/ agrees on this.
Must be all the Z.O.E. influence I keep hearing in it.
>>139253907
That's because those places were likely seriously trying to discuss the show while /m/ is just going through its usual shitposting motions and that's it. Seriously don't listen to /m/ ever on Gundam
>>139265578
Fuck, I haven't been to /m/ in literally years. /m/ used to be one of my main boards back in the day.
What's it like nowadays?
>>139259270
It'd a daytime TV show not some late night slot.
>>139264015
Like sucking his dick while blushing like a whore?
>>139251934
Literally the only good track in the entire OST. IBO was so promising after the 1st episode
>Isnt that right? MIKAAAAAAAAAAAA!
>>139265718
Implying that has ever stopped the Japs from putting fan service in shows
>>139253686
It doesn't have someone as pretty as Slaine for me to fap to, so it's shittier.
>>139263933
>>139264015
The weird thing is if you rewatch, you can tell he was going to be the traitor. He's basically agreeing with Hitler on a lot of things, doesn't want to give their asshole superiors severance pay, scoffs at the idea of their reputation being noble, and wants to give Kudelia up in exchange for cash. Honestly they should have kept him the traitor since his potential and personality is wasted as just being Orga's understudy.
This song always made the way the episodes ended to be classy as fuck
https://youtu.be/_pyfH3oj_eg
>>139265885
He can still turn traitor in season 2
>>139251633
Pretty fucking good looking forward to the second season
I'm surprised how much of /a/ actually liked this. I thought better of you guys.
My thoughts: Good potential, set up, and initial world building -- unconvincing execution, glacial pacing, uncommitted to the tone it tries to convey.
It's okay. People are too hard on it on 4chan because people are reactionary here, but it's okay. Highlights to me were always filled with a downside of wasted potential. Carta's campiness, Eugene's personality, Shino's entire shit falling apart during the Brewer arc, Akihiro's backstory being effectively made useless and just for drama that would be forgotten, Orga being pushed to the edge only to change his mind quickly at the end. Everything I got excited for I was basically let down or underwhelmed on.
I did enjoy Gaelio, and I actually liked Tekkadan ...the rare times they focused on them instead of Kudelia, Atra and Mika. I was really primed to like Mika, and he had some good moments and line delivery, but overall he became stagnant and even more boring than I could have imagined.
>>139265885
would've been better to go this way,but then it also kinda makes no sense because he'd end up helping them down the line.
Although you could probably do something like have McGills manipulate him into thinking he could earn their trust back by doing "X" task McGills assigned for you to do to help tekkadan
>>139266017
better than moeshit
>>139266083
Him having to help them down the line would be interesting, considering he could have felt guilt, had tension with former best bro Shino, former dick-envy target Orga, and so on. Mika could have actually had conflict in attacking someone who he felt care for once. You know, character drama that serves a purpose and elicits emotions in ways that depict who the other characters are at their cores, rather than just shocking violence and revenge.
>>139265971
I can't see it happening at this point, I think he's just wasted potential now and a supporting non-character. In the beginning, rewatching it with the original script in mind, you see how Eugene's actions make sense. Why should he give a shit about Kudelia when it just got his comrades killed? Why should he care about giving severance pay to men who abused him? Why should he hold up noble principles? He's looking out for numero uno, but also feels protective of his comrades. It could have went somewhere, but to do it in season 2 now after he's helped Tekkadan so much would feel weird.
>>139263312
Gjallarhorn was a disappointment in general
Not so bad, not so good. Liked the beginning and the end, hated Akihiro's arc, the Turbines fight, and the Fumitan arc. I don't hate them in theory, but I hate how they played out. The Fumitan arc at least, I guess,served to heavily further the plot and what little development Kudelia got, but the rest of the shit that happened in the middle of the show felt useless. Almost nothing got followed through on or had lasting effects. It was hard to take any of the turmoil seriously when only Biscuit had it in a convincing manner, and even that was only just to kill him off to make Orga MUH REVENGE, which he just drops in the last episode anyway. For no reason.
I didn't like Ein, but I think season 2 definitely needs more interesting villains now that gaelio is gone. McGillis can't carry the antagonists alone, you need something more than McGillis and Hitler. I would say "this is where Eugene being a traitor comes in", but I don't trust them doing that idea well at all. It could be written well in another show, but not this one. So I hope the other members of the star families are interesting.
>>139251633
horrid and needs to burn
>>139266419
Well, yeah. That's kinda the point. Gjallerhorn have been so utterly corrupted, from top to bottom, that they are a shadow of their former selves. They're suppose to be weak shit when compared to people that have actually fought for most of their lives.
>>139265885
shino seemed pretty incredulous at the things that were coming out of eugene's mouth, and when i was first watching it i thought it was going to go somewhere. but nope.
Anyway, OP, I'll tune in to the second season but my expectations are low. I loved the first few episodes of this show and felt a bit betrayed at how shitty it got.
>>139252446
>shitty art but fights were still well angled and choreographed
you did not watch IBO
Still better than AGE. 7.5/10.
>>139266880
I honestly thought age wasn't too bad until the FX arc and even that arc had its moments
>>139266017
Most people who go on /a/ hate G-Reco and haven't seen anything from the Universal Century other then Unicorn. I don't know what you expected.
She should have sexed him/10
I for one welcome season 2, there is still hope for her getting the Orga D.
I have mixed feelings. 6.5/10, but it started off great. I liked it enough to watch S2, but I'd never call it a great show. Just good enough to get me mildly attached. I had more fun with it though than most anime of the past two seasons. My biggest criticism was Kudelia, and how much time she took up. If the show was going to be about her, why didn't they just say so?
The only thing I looked forward to in the entire show was Ein's final fight with Mika.
Then they gave Mika a last-minute power up and revealed that Ein killed no one in the end.
I could probably write an essay as to why this show was lame. So much squandered potential.
4-5/10: I'm rewatching Gundam 00 to get the bad taste out of my mouth.
I hope S2 is good though. Because I'm definitely watching it.
>>139266936
And most people on /m/ suck UC and Tomino's cock so damn much that they can't admit that maybe G-Reco was too convoluted for its own good.
>>139267009
Man, Gundam 00 was so fun. Why was the ending with rainbow space particles so retarded? I'm still buttraged.
>>139266936
>Only watch Unicorn
Nice bullshit there, /m/
>>139267089
the show was setting up from that from the start when they told us GN particles could transmit thoughts,I'm surprised setsuna didn't go full CCA and expand a GN particle field over the earth so everyone would be connected in an understanding hivemind
It tried to be gritty , but failed to be grittier than a show with giant glowing mind reading aliens and came off as more cartoonish.
>>139267064
Honestly, I never really understand /m/'s obsession with Tomino
Dude made some good shits like 0079, Z and turn A and he also made some godawful shits like Garzey Wing and G-Reco
Nobody is perfect
>>139267089
I loved the ending. (We're talking about S2 right?)
Also rainbow? I keep seeing people mentioning rainbows, but when I go and watch the final ep I don't see any rainbow.
>>139267089

The brewers arc needed two things to actually fix it.
1- Mention that Akihiro has a brother who is also a human debris earlier than one episode before meeting him again. Seriously, that's just the worst kind of drama writing. Sucks all the anticipation and tension out of their meeting. Something like when Orga hands their ownership papers to the human debris back on mars would have been the perfect time for it to come up. It both would have established that Akihiro has a brother out their somewhere for later and the backstory would have shown just how much being given their freedom means to the human debris.
2- Have Gusion put up a better showing. I'm not even a gusion-fag but for the first gundam vs gundam battle in the series and the first real battle since barbatos was tuned up and repaired it was anti-climatic as fuck. The majority of the fight was gusion running away from barbatos while the pilot screamed about how Mika is just a killer.
>>139267269
It still made it retarded to build up conflict and settle it that way. I'm not arguing that it's an asspull, I'm arguing that the entire setup was flawed and shitty in an otherwise very good show.
This is why IBO was initially appealing. No beam tech, no overpowered gundam, but then they did nothing with that but make shitty fights. Watching the webm of Hilling makes me so mad about what could have been with this show. 00 had great battles.
>>139267009
>Ein killed no one in the end.
Butthurt over this is pure gold.
>>139267485
Fuck you I loved everything. Especially the movie.
Just have friend who can pull off Dick Dastardly impressions to dub over every scene that feature the A-Laws.
>>139267300
They had to tone it down because viewers were complaining about a child soldier gunning down helpless people in cold blood
>>139267577
He managed to kill 1 MW pilot. Who didn't have a name and we never see his face.
But hey, good for Ein, he killed one of those kids. Mission accomplished.
>>139267517
This was my exact issue with it. The opportunity to mention it is exactly when you said it should have occurred, and it only made Akihiro's brother's rage at his apparent half-assed attitude of finding him seem more legitimate. Akihiro suddenly remembering he has a brother right before he meets up with him again by chance is just retarded.
Not only that, but they barely went into any of his emotions after the funeral. What was the point other than Orga saying "Hyuuman Dabris". I feel like Shino got more development out of that arc than Akihiro did.
>>139267634
Ein was just being a good little brother to Crank-nee, who didn't want any of those kids killed. Why can't you faggots see that? Best little brother.
>>139267321
Because he's the creator of the franchise. To say anything bad about him and his work is admit their beloved franchise is flawed in some way.
>>139265885
Shit, you're right. It's weird that they abruptly dropped that. Now you have fucking Hitler-kun as McGillis's right-hand man, I can't think of a less interesting dynamic, and Eugene regulated to a background character that just shows up conveniently to help dudes sometimes.
>>139267614
Wasn't it eventually proven that the complaints are only a few select people and an overwhelming majority didn't give a fuck about child soldier killing people?
>>139267614
>the title is a reference to the child soldier brigade Japan used in WWII
>If you look at the title, one would immediately think of this as a children's show
>>139267541
Apparently they're changing directors for s2 because Nagai said he knew nothing about war going into this,so hopefully we'll get some nicer battles
>>139267827
Not really. It's in a primetime slot, I remember a lot of complaints being shown in the media. Whether this means there were actually a ton of complaints or not, it doesn't matter. When the media features something, it becomes a shitshow and seems to be everywhere, effectively giving an exaggeration life.
>>139267898
I heard it was only the animation director that's getting changed. Got a source for your claim?
