Been following the series, and it's mildly entertaining, should I drop it and start elsewhere?
>>
Why the fuck would you drop something you're enjoying?
>>
If IBO is mildly entertaining I might suggest splashing some paint on a wall and watching it dry. You'll get to a mech fight faster that way.
>>
>>13822599
If you're enjoying IBO, check out thunderbolt along side it.
>>
What part are you finding lack luster? and what are you willing to deal with in terms of older animation? from there i can give you a good starting point. which will probably be 08th ms team
after this flops you might not get to watch a gundam show with /m/ for a while.
>>
>>13822615
thunderbolt is p good but watch some other U.C stuff first so you can feel for both sides. Zeeks aren't always bad and gundams aren't always good

Exactly... Do you have a better option? So far this is the only sexy thing in the series.
>>
>>13822639
True that actually, yeah.
>>
>>13822609
I can taste the salt from here.
>>
>>13822620
I have zero beef with old animation. I will give it a try.
>>
>>13822609
The same complaint applies to Turn A as well, you know.
>>
>>13822608
This. OP's logic is bullshit.
>>
>>13822640
It looks like a Phantoma from ZOE. A skinny, dickless Phantoma.

>>13822691
It really doesn't.
>>
The best place to start with gundam will always be 0079. There's no way around it.
>>
>>13823037
This, OP. Since you have no problem with old animation, you'll enjoy it greatly. It can be pretty slow sometimes, but character development and plot are well done and the battles are great. It's really a cult classic.
>>
>>13823095
>one of the most popular and influential mecha shows of all time
>cult classic
>>
>>13822599
Watch G Gundam, OP
>>
Hey /m/ I wanna get into the Cheers universe. Where should I start?
>>
>>13823095
I would reccomend the movies for 0079. It takes out a lot of the bs episodes, unless you want a whole ark about finding salt, or watch the abridged version which is actually p good and not cancer. And if you decide to go in air date order DO NOT watch the zeta movies

Don't listen to this sub-human trash. It doesn't know about what it's talking about, in multiple ways.

You are a fucking idiot

Unless bait, then I'm an idiot.

Yeah, please keep telling Bandai how they are doing everything wrong and how all new Gundam series are shit.

Don't be so salty anons :^)

Up your game. You should have suggested he watch the 10 hour movie that is about paint drying.

If it is selling well, people must like it.
>>
>>13824473
That doesn't mean it's actually good. /m/ dislikes Wing, but it sold oodles (a lot of fujobait).
Also: Twilight was a hit.
>>
>>13824788
To be fair he never argued that.

And to be fair, "good" can mean a lot of different things to a lot of different people.
>>
>>13822599
/m/ hates anything that isnt UC or 00 just ignore them
>>
>>13822599
If you feel continuing it, do it.
Don't take /m/'s word for that.

You can start other gundam series in parallel,like 0079 or 00
>>
>>13822599
Super bad action.
>>
>>13824860
>/m/ hates anything
Here, that's faster and more accurate.
>>
>>13824140
>Whole ark about finding salt
OP, don't listen to this faggot, it's just one episode. The movies skip a lot of plot-important stuff and characterization, watch them only if you need a refresher between 2 UC shows.

>>13823100
Well, it's both a cult classic AND one of the most influential mecha shows of all time.
>>
>>13824164
Not scaling net growth with population.

Congrats.
>>
>>13822691
Turn A didn't have so much mecha fights but the Turn A itself was often runnning around doing something.
>>
>>13822599
>Is IBO a bad place to get in to Gundam?

The short answer is yes. The long answer is IBO is absolute garbage that's a mix-mash between attack on titan and aldonoah zero.
>>
>>13825731
>only an increase of 1 million people between 2000 to 2014
>produces this result >>13824164
It's fucking impressive if you ask me
>>
>>13822599
I'd say it's less enjoyabe than every mediocre gundam which the bulk of the franchise.
>>
>>13823476
Zeta G-Cheers Norm Buster
>>
There's no good place to start with Gundam since Gundam is shit.

Watch VOTOMS instead.
>>
>>13822599
If you enjoy it, keep watching. I wish I enjoyed IBO, for me it is literally the worst series, but I still trying to find parts of it I enjoy.
>>
>>13822691
The fights that Turn A had are really good like Harry Ord wrecking shit
>>
>>13822691
Except Turn A is good, unlike that piece of shit.
>>
>>13823476
Frasier is GOAT, Cheers is pretty meh.

If you wanna do better, I'd say watch Boss and Damages S1-3, for the darker look inside the Cheers-verse.
>>
>>13831941
>Except Turn A is good
wew.

Look, G-Reco is "good" Turn-A is just befuddled tripe. Like the Bernie Sanders of Tomino Gundam
>>
>>13831941
IBO is turn a done right
>>
>>13832126
Odd comparison. IBO is very good though.
>>
>>13824816
>It's all opinions!
>You can't call my tastes shit!
>>
>>13822599
The problem with starting at the top, by definition, It's all downhill from there.
