If Gali gali is masked char then yes. if he's dead. meh I'll watch it but I'm not looking forward to it
>>
I'm kinda curious to see what exactly choco-char manages to pull off and what gundam he gets (if he doesn't just stick to the grimgerde), but I have no hopes for the rest of the show.

Some of the designs will probably be neat, though.

I'm looking forward to it ending.

Yes.

I'm going to be optimistic, I doubt it could be worse than the first season.
I also wouldn't mind seeing more MS designs that aren't Graze

Whoa what month is it again?

I think I accidentally time travelled.

First season was okay, so yes. I want to see how Mika's wild ride will end. Also /m/ getting BTFO again when the show doesn't flop will be fun.

Maybe it'll pull an opposite of 00.

Kinda.

It's easy to turn this around the way I see it.

I'll watch like the first five episodes to see if it actually goes anywhere instead of just building shit up and then ignoring it like season 1 did.

Completely depends, if it's about the growing tensions and possible war between the Outer Sphere and the Economic Blocs vs. Gjallarhorn with decent story telling then sure. However

Brewers and the Turbines from what I've heard. That's 5/19 kits, and then there are other kits we haven't heard much on (like the Kimaris) so that number may be higher.

But what we do know is that kits like Barbatos, some of the Grazes, and the Grimgerde sell very well.
>>
>>14362104
Still way higher than AGE's (only about 2k) and Try (4.4k). It's about the same as Build Fighters and a little higher than G-Reco (9012). There's also 3 more volumes to come out though, and those numbers can still increase in the meantime.

These numbers are still good for most anime, and Gunpla is where the show makes most of it's money. Ratings though average out to just a cunthair higher than the Kio parts of AGE (after a lot of people bailed during season 2).

It's going to be interesting to see what they do. PTA and media watchdog groups have spoken out against the show (the show being too brutal for kids when Mika executed his former bosses, as well as not calling out the Dort workers for making terrorist threats. That last one had one group saying it would be less harmful to show kids porn). Not to mention, while Mika did place in Newtype polls late in the show's run his real reception is kinda mixed. There are enough people who view him as a monster, almost an evil protagonist.

Will the show stick to it's guns until the end? Or will they change the show in order to try and boost the show's popularity? It'll be interesting to tell.

So IBO season 2 will have porn? I've been waiting for erection since last October.

At least it didnt givr us a named space rat as a whore. Next season is perfect for a space hooker turned spy.


Actually of all the poverty portray in IBO they spared us of the prostitution. Must be hard to write it without giving the audience a hard on

Is season 2 still going to be in that same prime time slot? Unless it moves to the late night slot, it's fucked.

No I'm not I just hope it isn't as bad as SEED Destiny. I'll watch it to see where iron boring orphans goes.
>>
>>14362382
They should take the idea of Mika being a psychopathic asshole and run with it, at the very least it will keep the show from being just "one more Gundam" like it is now.

Although knowing Sunrise they'll probably ask to keep that shit down.

Dude, by the time they got to Dort the average was already lower than AGE's. The Japanese were constantly making fun of IBO over this fact, along with how late night anime were pulling in higher numbers. Not to mention how more people tuned in to G-Reco's finale than IBO's. FFS, the ratings jumped after the credits rolled and Yugioh started.

The show had low ratings.

Pretty much. Most people if they don't like a show they just move on, period. Not dwell on it, not go on and on about a show they didn't even watch. It only marginally makes some sense here because it's a popular franchise people were let down by yet again.

>>14363694
I stopped caring about Gundam shows ever since AGE.

Now I just buy the Gunpla and maybe watch a episode or two if a particular kit does something cool in it.

And due to the Gunpla IBO is one of my favorites even though I only watch ep 1, 7 and 24.

If you mean did it grab with two right arms at the start, including one hidden right arm, but then show it holding it with it's two normal hands when we see it before uncurling the hidden arms - then no. And I've no idea how you came to that conclusion either.

Yes, quite.
Thunderbolt didn't really grab me. I finally downloaded 3 and 4 today, I'll probably watch them this weekend. Likewise, almost no interest in the Unicorn re-format, since it's just the same series chopped into smaller bits.

Interested to see what effect Macgillis will have on Gjallarhorn, how McMurder will show his true colors, and very anxious to see how they handle Cookie and Cracker. I just KNOW that's going to be a tear-jerker scene.

Also kind of curious if they'll wind up in Mika's harem or Turbo Nazi's.

Did you know the first four volumes sold more than G-Reco? Saying one volume sold less is kind of toothless when several sold more. G-Reco is a better show, but that doesn't mean cherry picking sales is going to hide the rest of them, make G-Reco more popular or make IBO disappear.

Who cares that G-Reco's fifth volume sold more? Especially when volumes 2, 3 & 4 had no promo code. You do apparently, cause you're talking about it.

Doesn't matter, I was talking about effective piloting skills, not raw talent or honed effort. If we go by retarded semantics, then the kids have the huge disadvantage of not having piloted for years under very luxurious conditions like Choco Man and Gali Gali, etc etc.

You can't even begin to analyze shit if we start taking apart what is 'real skill' and what is 'artificial'. And even if you did, all that would do is tell you who had the most natural talent, a meaningless endeavor.

It's just a fact that Gjallarhorn had nothing but numbers on their side. Basically all the kills racked up come from non mobile suit combat.

They're not going to move it to a late night slot, not when they're actually trying to market it towards kits. Chances are, it's going to continue being try-hard edgy while trying to pass itself off as a gritty underdog story.

Still, it's going to be interesting to see how it does ratings and video sales-wise. Wonder what they're going to do for a S2Vol 1 promo?

The main thing with IBO is that nothing ever happened, there wasnt anything to discuss at all.

Thats it, there was nothing to discuss
it wasnt terrible, it wasnt great, it was just flat out boring. A few goodlooking poses here and there, too few mecha fights, animation was wonky as hell and the characters never developed.

it was boring, That is what makes IBO unique. its flat out boring.

AGE was a trainwreck
G-Reco had weekly desiphers of Tomino's dialogue which was pretty hilarious, not to mention the animals popping up all the time.

IBO had nothing.

Quality or popularity has nothing to do with traffic.
In fact it's often quite the opposite.

Hell, I'll give you an anime example. Kekkai Sensen.

IBO is kinda like SEED. On the surface, it doesn't look all that bad. Sure, there are a few weak patches here and there but in the end the show doesn't appear to have any fatal weaknesses.

And, somewhere along the way, it picked up a devoted fanbase who are declaring it one of the best Gundams ever.

However, it's only when you look at the show closely that everything starts falling apart. You begin to see the flaws in it, like how the show is padded with fluff to compensate for having a weak plot. Or how the politics are fanfiction-tier, with Tekkadan being massively OP and things magically going their way.

You begin to see that, but the problem is it's fans don't. They're going to take it more or less at face value. Then they begin making excuses. "The fluff is great." "It's just an anime, who cares if the politics are bullshit?" "You're cherrypicking the animation. It's fine." "It's morally ambiguous." Or they become hostile assholes, accusing people of making shit up. They only want to hear praise for their new favorite show, only they don't have their own version of "go back to A/Z".

That is the problem with discussing IBO.

ffs. Just because an anime doesn't jump through hoops to show the main cast as entirely morally righteous and the MC isn't crying at the thought of killing another human being, japan thinks it's too extreme. I loved the way IBO told its story and didn't try to back down or soften the hardships of war and getting your hands dirty in the process of it.
>>
>>14381280
No, they think it's too extreme because of how the characters do terrible things by real-world standards but it's portrayed as completely alright. Case in point, the show not showing that terrorists were doing something bad and instead saying they did nothing wrong while trying to make the audience sympathize with them. Tekkadan aren't afraid to get their hands dirty but they don't suffer consequences for their actions.

Anon, every single Gundam (and 99% of anime in general) have fanfic tier politics.
>>
>>14373642

I know that. But havig a named character as a prostitute or used to be one would give it a character with a tragic past. from being a whore to survive to being passed around like a fucktoy as a human debris. Is it too dark?

Also one thing I noticed is Shino still sucks at MS combat. He gets manhandled by Ein in all encounters . Nearly walks into a trap planted by Orga. He needs to improve next season

>>14381319

Because IBO isnt our society. It is 1920 mindset of corporate towns. Brutal colonial exploitation that makes preivous gundam stories about colonial indepedence look like an enlightened revolution and a clearly corrupt security force who forms false toothless uprisings to crush them

It never got a lot of discussion. Ever.
People were like regularly like: "Hey, what gives? Don't you like Kekkai Sensen?"
And the answer was usually that there was nothing to talk about. No real complaints and due to its episodic nature not a lot of sperging about the story.

The more universally accepted a show is, the less heated and passionate the discussion usually gets.

IBO is a different beast. Because from the start people were going "Look at the lack of discussion on our rinky dink imageboard! Clearly that means its flopping!" Nobody got that fucking passionate about it, apart from the G-Reco shitposters who for some reason think that the only way to vindicate themselves is to shit on non-Tomino Gundam shows. And truth be told, people were tired of engaging them and still are.
While I think IBO was decent, it wasn't worth getting worked up about one way or another.

But for the record, I liked the fun posting, because nobody took the show that seriously.
>>
>>14381203
SEED was hilarious when it was offensive though. IBO was just putrid all the way.

>It never got a lot of discussion. Ever.
It did. It was just not accessible to casuals nor was it shitposting material.
>Because from the start people were going "Look at the lack of discussion on our rinky dink imageboard!
It wasn't get much discussion outside of /m/ either so I failed to see your point. It was just funny to point out that the show many claimed "saved Gundam" garnered the least amount of discussion.
>The more universally accepted a show is, the less heated and passionate the discussion usually gets.
GBF says hi! People loved that show to the point where we made a fucking mural saying thanks to the staff who worked on it. People just didn't give a shit about IBO and every time it gets popped up its usually "I stopped watching after the first few episode" or "that show was boring as fuck"

>apart from the G-Reco shitposters who for some reason think that the only way to vindicate themselves is to shit on non-Tomino Gundam shows.
I think G-Reco is going to be the go to anytime a show someone likes doesn't get any attention.
>>
>>14383058
I think G-Reco earned a horrible reputation specifically because of people like you.
>>
>>14381082
Actually it did. KS was just not easily accessible for casuals and didn't have the same type of hype as say...Shougeki no Souma had the same season yet it managed to sell better.

>The more universally accepted a show is, the less heated and passionate the discussion usually gets.
That is just flat out untrue. There are terrible shows that don't get any discussion and for good reason too (M3, Captain Earth, Argvellon) except for a few diehards who claims that the show gets better.

>And, somewhere along the way, it picked up a devoted fanbase who are declaring it one of the best Gundams ever.
Anon, don't go full autism. Only newfags or people who have only watched Wing and IBO think that. This is like an adult lashing out at a teen girl because she thinks Twilight is a masterpiece. They don't know any better, you do. Let them have their fun, someday they will grow up and realize they were wrong.

It is just mentally ill people quite possibly posting both sides themselves on different devices. Every board is afflicted by this. /o/ is literally 100% this, as of course are all of the larger toilet boards like /v/. I imagine as I get more versed in /m/ and start reading Getter threads/etc I'll get sick of this board and move on again.

Thing is, though, Setsuna murdering his parents isn't portrayed as The Right Thing To Do. All the shit Mika pulls is.
>>
>>14381203
I kinda feel like IBO is the Fate/Zero of the franchise.
>>
>>14363721
That's because 24 is a good episode. It's such a damn shame Gundam wasted the man-machine interface on shit like IBO, because the Graze Ein was amazing. Ein's body just sitting there, mute and still while you see the Graze gesturing and screaming, that was a fucking awesome moment that really shows the horror of what's going on, as well as the power of the true aligned vagina system through him wrecking shit. But then of course 25 ruins it.
>>
>>14388849
Fucking this. It's surprising that people think they're comparable. Setsuna's time as a child soldier fucked him up and is supposed to be a bad thing. It destroyed his faith in the god he believed in, and haunts him years later.

Mika doesn't give a fuck and will do whatever he needs to get what he/Orga wants.
>>
>>14388972

I wouldn't say they're comparable situations either, but Mika killing his bosses wasn't supposed to be seen as a good thing in my opinion, just a, from his point of view (or Orgas, whatever), necessary one. The show misstepped by making CGS adults (outside that one mechanic with the weird beard) such caricatures and so rancidly evil though, since it made his actions completely justifiable and even right in many eyes. Oh well, they made a lot of other mistakes too, that was just the first (that I can think of at least).
>>
>>14388972
Right? Same shit with the suicide charge of the little kids, or, as the PTA apparently pointed out, the Dort thing. With the first it's worse because Merribit and Old Black Dude go "this shit ain't right" and the kids respond "fuck you adults I'mma senselessly throw away my life for maybe getting Martian independence".
And the feeling I got was that you're just supposed to nod along with the kids and go "yeah, they're sure Doing The Right Thing", which was underscored by the fact the heroic-sounding theme kept playing.
>>
>>14389006
>"fuck you adults I'mma senselessly throw away my life for maybe getting Martian independence".

They weren't fighting for Martian independence though. They were just trying to complete their job, get paid, and get revenge on Gjallarhorn over Biscuit. That last one being what drove them over the edge. Then the show treats them like acting like they're normal kids as a happy ending. Not that they are normal kids, them acting like they're normal kids.
