It's kind of sad. Age actually had some decent designs, but they're wasted on that show.

>>13336681

It's rooted in forging. Wrought iron is well known for it's ornate decoration, so to be overwrought is to be detailed till you become ridiculous.

The thing about G-REco is that the writing is so fucking terrible it seems complicated, but it's not really complex at all, considering /m/ could understand parts of it.

But Gundam usually is shit. They got that much right.

>>13336699

IBO really does make a point of explaining every single thing. Yet I wouldn't be surprised to see idiots who still find it confusing.

Though it's also like, damned if you do, damned if you don't, because people will complain about too much exposition and they'll complain about not enough exposition.

It has to be that, even the odd Vegan designs were pretty damn simple, let alone the federation and Gundam designs of AGE.

But it's ANN they're, well, Retarded, and that is putting it lightly.

To think all it took to make Gundam appeal to plebeians was to make it derivative again. I remember this same situation that came about 13 years ago when SEED came after Turn A while the latter was underappreciated for being too "different" then SEED comes along boosting every popular trope imaginable to sell itself to populous with a subpar product. And now here's IBO a show that offers nothing new, does nothing particularly well and is just a staple of what constitutes for modern mecha anime nowadays but gets praised for being SERIOUS and reminding them of previous less than stellar Gundam outings Wing and 08th Team. Can't say I'm surprised since I predicted this would happen though I think people will be more forgiving of the slip ups in this than the outright disdain AGE received before it aired or the negligence G-Reco was given.

Everyone knows G-Reco's fanbase is as contrarian as it gets and is only so firmly attached and obsessed with defending it because everyone else dislikes it. If the show were popular and praised, or even if it just didn't become a target of shitposting while it aired, it would have been forgotten about by now and all the people defending it now would instead be calling it a 6/10 show.

>>13336750
Disagreeing with you isn't shitposting, buddy.
From Mask's flimsy reasons, Aida doing a complete 180 in relation to her opinion of Bellry in between episodes with no justification, poor development of key characters, such as Cumpa and Raraiya, to the conflict being solved by killing off all the political heads just because, and more important of all, failing to pass the intended message to the general public, I'd say G-Reco's writing is garbage.
But hey, continue to disregard my opinion just because I'm not sucking Tomino's dick. Maybe one of those days this masterpiece will be adored by hipsters instead of bandwagoners like you and you'll finally be justified on whatever mental gymnastics you used to believe G-Reco's writing is good. I'd even go as far as betting you didn't realize that it was a critic to current japanese politics regarding militarization until someone pointed it out for you.

Those were the only people who wanted to fight a war. Everyone else just wanted to solve their problems, one way or the other.

>failing to pass the intended message to the general public
The message was to get people to discuss some topics. He managed to do that in the West too.
"General public" can never be the target of a late night anime. As much as Tomino wanted G-Reco to be as popular as AKB, it was an impossible task to begin with.
But, hey, it is not like his career is made up of astonishing hits. I mean, it took only 10 years to Japana and West to realize that Turn A was good.

Political heads is actually wrong, since the pope, Bellri's mom and La Gu are political heads and they didn't die
But I get what you're saying, and it's basically this: people don't know anything about waging wars or even want to, and that's why when the warmongers among the factions die, they just don't have any reason to keep fighting.

>Iron Blooded Orphans comes on the heels of Gundam G no Reconguista, which was known for its childlike animation style, utter lack of realism, vacuous characters, and confusing plot.

>Yet, by comparing the first episodes of Reconguista and Orphans, I already have more initial faith in the newer Gundam series than I ever had in Reconguista. Orphans’ animation is gritty and the sharp, and (so far) the series seems to have a more ‘realistic’ plot that’s both edgier and reminiscent of the wildly popular Mobile Suit Gundam 00. Like 00‘s Setsuna F. Seiei, the good-guy mecha pilots are former child soldiers, making the viewer feel sorry for them and also see their twisted psychology.

This kind of shit is necessary when you are an angsty 10-16 year old, but these days I'm fine with my mecha shows being genki as fuck. G-Reco wasn't ultra dark, but it was unique and pretty high quality all things considered ( last episode was problematic yes).

I don't dislike IBO so far, but edgyness often just comes off as silly( like in Wing and 00) unless you can do it right ( like in Zeta or Victory).

Shut the fuck up about fujos. I am sick of hearing about fujoshi. It doesn't make a single difference to the actual show beyond their shirts being off. Who fucking cares.

>>13337167
They're a dumb boogeyman anyway. Fujoshi are the only people in Japan who actually buy things, I say why not cater to them. In fact, I've never met a fujoshi that particularly annoyed me, while I've met lots of people on this board that annoy me greatly.

Yeah by all means, so far I have had no problems with it. It is more so this attitude that a Gundam anime has to be edgy in order to be good that I was criticizing. Which is what the author of the quote was seeming to imply.

>>13337150
So do you hate Metal Gear, too?

Is it now a requirment that all Japanese fiction can only be about problems Japanese society is facing? Why do you want anime to be MORE limited in its scope?

So what?

Aida's opinion on Bellri changed several fucking times throughout the show, it's called character development. After Bell killed Cahill she resented him but wasnt a dependent self-centered wreck like every anime female ever dealing with loss. After she almost shot down his Mother she realized she would have done the exact same thing he did and chills out(she literally says this), from there it's just a one sided relationship with Bellri having affections for Aida up until they're revealed as siblings, Bellri couldnt deal with it for a while but once he got over it the two of them were tight as shit.

>The conflict being solved by killing off all the political heads just because
Because what? That's the most common ending to a Gundam show, the political or strategic leader is killed and everyone stops being faggots. What's different is that the guy behind all of this wasn't in some giant mobile armor or suped up mobile suit challenging MC to a duel of ideals. He was just a crafty old man manipulating people into killing each other.
Besides by the finale there was only one "leader" left. Cumpa, he died as a casualty in the very war he instigated. Very ironic.

G-Reco isn't a masterpiece but it's not as incomprehensible as people like to pretend it is. If you just read you wont be confused.

>>13337079

I agree. G-reco was like the personification of the mental deterioration caused by old age and the bizarre, incoherent ramblings that frequently come from the mouths of old men.

It was just generally unwelcoming in the sense of grabbing the user's attention. That's a fault of the show, not "retarded viewers" or whatever. If you don't suck people in, they will get bored, boredom leads to confusion, which leads to anger and hate. People expected another serious war drama and got something tonally much different.

I want to give it a 2nd chance one day, and the shitposting won't change my mind on that. The people who actually liked the show and aren't shitposting about it seemed to like it a lot and I wanna know why.

Sounds like people should find some other healthy way of expressing their anger rather than making a thousand bait threads.

They think that all Gundam should somehow be JUST like 00 or Wing, and not shows (relatively) unique in themselves ala 0079, Zeta, ZZ, 0080, 0083, F91, Victory, G Gundam, Turn A Gundam, and G-Reco.

>>13337628
>unwelcoming in the sense of grabbing the user's attention. That's a fault of the show, not "retarded viewers" or whatever
It grabbed my attention, and lots of other people's attention, pretty quickly. It's not a flaw of the show that you are not the target audience, it's not bad because it doesn't pander to you. It's not your fault that you don't like the show either. Not everything you ever encounter in life is going to be universally accessible to everyone, and it shouldn't be.

Look, I'm the guy you're replying to but please fuck off with this line of thinking. You cannot prove it. Stop saying it, it's no better than people saying everyone who likes G-Reco thinks its a masterpiece and everyone who doesnt is a knuckle dragging retard.

This seems to be a common reaction in Japan too so it is "controversial" in that sense. It failed to suck a lot of people in. But as you said some people do enjoy it and I want to rewatch it because of that, the ones who aren't shitposters tend to not act like dicks about it and genuinely seemed to enjoy it.

>>13337756
...No, they don't.

I just can't believe how long the same exact people have been shitting on G-Reco without getting bored. You can tell it's the same person because they recite the same criticism practically verbatim, over and over again. I can understand people who like a show wanting to continue talking about it, what I don't understand is the people who hate it so much that they're saltily whining about it nearly a year later.

>>13337936
Nobody is whining you stupid G-Reco fag. Sometimes we just need to remind you all that the show is in fact shit and nothing you say or do can change that.

>>13337969
Sounds like whining to me.

>>13336723
And you blind defenders need to realize that kids shouldn't be exposed to fucking stupidity. And I'm not just talking about the show.

Will this G-Reco vs, IBO shitposting last throughout IBO's entire run?

As long as people keep replying to it, yes.

IBO a shit, even G Saviour is better

>>13338017
Now this is what I can agree on. G-Savior is an underrated gem and the best of the Gundam franchise at it's realest and grittiest.

>>13337969
Most ironic post I've seen in a while.

>>13338000
You have to realize that people are going to shitpost about literally every Gundam regardless of how it is. Been seeing this for about four years straight and I'm sure it's went on longer than that. Sadly, this is not a very good place to have discussion about Gundam.

>>13338054
I've been suspecting this too because it all seems too passionate to be real. It's like YouTube comments but with better grammar.

>>13338054
Oh, I can tell that. People try to insist otherwise, but it is very easy to recognize someone's posting style once you have a bit of experience. I've been seeing the same shitter calling Tomino a senile old man for the longest time.

Imagine how hard the G-Reco shitposting would drop off if Hiroyuki just implemented IDs.

>I know it had problems but I forgot what they were.
Most of it's problems are just being a bit dull, otherwise it is just like any random low budget scifi movie

PS2 game is great though

>>13338080
There are people who change their IP and commence massive forum sliding whenever threads don't take the direction they'd hope. It's weird and time consuming but it happens all the time on boards like /v/. As soon as people start realising they're wasting their time in comes a fresh batch of people who seemingly care way too much about the matter, exaggeratory opposition and a make a bunch of strawmans out of reasonable posts.

>>13338110
What would be the point of doing that without IDs? Nobody'd notice it's the same person anyway.

Anyway, even if there are people like that, we also have the lazy people who are just doing it because it's easy, as indicated by the unique poster count in this thread. I think IDs are still worth doing because they will scare at least some of these people off.

>>13338081
The worst part of G Saviour is that they actually cut out a fight from the movie before it was released.

There was supposed to be a fight between some Bugus and the G Saviour terrian mode in Side 4's New Manhattan, at least according to the G Saviour mechanical design and fact book I have.

>>13336919
Yeah, sure, almost killing someone's mother is perfectly good reason for the hatred for someone to simply disappear. Well, then again, what I said was that there was no reason. I'll concede the point.

>>13336942
>Mask's reasons
Why he fights. He does everything he does is because some sort of perceived kuntala racism, which isn't really something that is very apparent at all in the show. Or that he hates Bellri because he's born in privilege. I suppose you could interpret Mask as representing how pathetic a man can be due to hatred born from jealousy, but even then it doesn't constitute a good character.

>they just don't have any reason to keep fighting.
But the thing is that it's not a good way to solve the conflict. It IS, well, realistic in a way, because at the end of the day the soldiers are just people being forced into war by other people, but there's gotta be something else to it, as a work of fiction. The only person who got something out of the whole conflict was Aida, who grew up as a person.

>>13336939
>Cumpa
Coming from a lineage of badly written villains doesn't excuse him being so too. He's comparable to the MCU villains.

>>13338714
>Yeah, sure, almost killing someone's mother is perfectly good reason for the hatred for someone to simply disappear.
She realized Bellri made a mistake. Same mistake she was going to make if he didn't stop her.

And it is not like Bellri hasn't shown plenty of times that he was sorry and not a bad person.

And for what matters, she clearly remembers it, because she still speaks about him when they met the Resistance.

Seeing as G-Reco is only good for suitposting, I think we should ban discussion of it from /m/. No one ever actually talks about it, it's just a thread derail and excuse to call people retarded for flimsy reasons.

It's indistinguishable from how douchey military meatheads treat everyone they think is below them.

So far IBO has a much better job of showing how this one group is disfranchised and literally starving unless they become child solders.

>>13338916
IBO is just more in your face, but neither approach is bad.

>>13338916
>It's indistinguishable
well maybe, just maybe you should pay attention

But no going "move out the way nigger *kick*" or "They are letting niggers in now? I'm sure you'll be fine nigger HAHA" is pretty easy to get. Kuntala is used the exact same way nigger was/is

>>13338916
That's because you have a character preaching about how disenfranchised they are while being shown a bunch of slides.

>>13338942
Yeah but no one EXPLAINED it to me so how was I supposed to get it?

>>13338975
Mask says that his people are discriminated against.

>>13338982
Mask is implied to be an odd one for caring about that though.

>>13338985

>>13338985
That doesn't change the fact that they are treated differently.

Two different things, genius.
One is "LOOK AT THE POOOR KIDS AND CRY!!!!" the other is "Well, some guys are still considered inferior".
You would have a point if the subplot about Kuntalas was set when they were still being eaten, but Tomino explicitly decided to show that they were just being discriminated because of their origins.

>>13338945
Yeah it's called showing and telling, while Greco only told.

All we have got is a bunch of edgy pics on an infodump, a sad song and a group of child soldiers, which judging by their bodies and intellect could very well be one of the most elitist groups from Nazi Germany.

I'm sure IBO showed us very well what discrimination and poverty actually are.

Food for though:
How come all of them still have all the limbs attached?
How come nobody among them has to worry about food?
How come they can take a beating and nobody has an issue with getting medial treatment?
I mean, this is the body of a kid born and grown in poverty, isn't it?

No because /m/ isn't one person. I have seen a lot of people on this board say they prefer the tv series, but I've also seen people say they prefer the movies for what ever reason. There are people who love Zeta and there are people who hate Zeta. There are people who love ZZ and there are people who hate ZZ. There are people who love CCA and there are people who hate CCA. There are people who love 0080 and I've never really seen anyone on here who hated it but I'm sure they're out there. There are people who love 0083 and there are people who hate 0083. There are people who love F91 and there are people who hate F91. There are people who love Victory and there are people who hate Victory.There are people who love G Gundam and there are people who hate G Gundam. There are people who love Wing and there are people who hate Wing. There are people who love Gundam X and there are people who hate Gundam X. There are people who love 08th MS Team and there are people who hate 08th MS Team. There are people who love Turn A Gundam and there are people who hate Turn A Gundam.

I could go on. There is no unanimous opinion about anything on /m/ because there is no such thing as an unanimous opinion on an anonymous imageboard with people posting from all different walks of life. Saying that "/m/ says all Gundam is shit" is simply hyperbole. "There are some people on /m/ who say all Gundam is shit" would be a bit more accurate.

That's the only consistent reminder we ever get of how oh so terribly oppressed these former walking rations are, really, and Luin's a jealous little shit with a chip on his shoulder the size of Texas. He's probably exaggerating.

>>13339149
I never said that. I just didn't mention that you can fall anywhere in between, as my point was that there are people on this board who DO fall on either extreme, not just one. Which is why I said "There are people", meaning that there are individuals on this board who love a particular show AND there are also individuals who hate a particular show. Nowhere in my post did I ever say that people on /m/ unequivocally either loves Zeta OR hates Zeta, nowhere in between. That was just you leaping to conclusions based on nothing.

We all know who really needs a fuck!

only one lewd

Luin's Kuntala pride escalating is just because Bellri constantly one ups him and gets in his way.

As Mask, Luin's job is to capture the G-Self and rescue Raraiya. As he views it, it's the only way he can rise in society. Bellri stops him every time, even when Mask tries to delegate with Bellri. So he amplifies his Kuntala pride and directs his anger towards Bellri.

This is a base nature of humans. Bellri is that jackass at work who you think keeps getting in your way. His family has a good connection with the company and it got him a nice job right away. And every time you try to get your job done he seems to get in your way. You find every reason you can to justify your anger and contempt for him. You might tell yourself that someone like him is unfit to enter upper management because he doesn't get it, he doesn't understand the plebs like you rising from the bottom.

Just look at /pol/. They aren't even directly wronged by the people they hate, but they go on about MUH SOCIETY and COLLAPSE OF ROME all the time.

It's in the nature of humans to justify their anger and hatred with things that are bigger than their personal conflicts.

You can say that about any small detail. So whatever.

>>13339344
Sounds like it was important because it was the foundation of Luin and Bellri. It remains to be seen if IBO's themes will be as important, or be treated as "oh here's the adults suck episode".

And what a foundation it was.

You got the juxtaposition of a kid who was able to explore the world, learn the truth, change POV and ideas, and another kid who was obsessed with his pride and revanche against society to the point he didn't even want to listen to his girlfriend.

Close VS Open mindsets. That was one of the biggest themes of the anime.

>>13339377
Why do you seem so angry? I didn't like Reco either, but maybe I would have liked it if I paid attention

>>13339415
I think the biggest theme was future vs the past ideals and wars

Many characters are stuck in the past and it's ideals be it a religious order or living up to what you think your dad wants. Many characters try to push old wars and concepts on others to get them to fight. Bellri and Aida both get other this and it is a big part of their development

It is funny as Greco isn't exactly anti-war. All the "good guys" are willing to fight for a cause, especially Klim who is basically a Char. But what makes them distinct from the "bad guys" is the come to fight their own wars and not those of the past because those aren't their wars and don't fit who they are and what they want. I think this is what Tomino was saying, don't be caught up in an old man's war but fight your own

>>13339431
So he's okay with bringing back the japanese army, but the decisions should be up to a smartphone vote like crowds insight?

>>13339458

>forcefully mutated to synch with their mobile worker machines
>abandoned (even while they're being attacked) and routinely abused by their adult lords,
>have to put up with all that shit or they starve to death in the streets

Meanwhile the kuntala suffer through... some guys saying nigger a few times and what else? Getting kicked once every 26 episodes? Sorry G-retard but the kuntala subplot was poorly-presented and developed.

1 out of three isn't very good results. That movie covers way less content than the others is why btw.

>>13339073
No, I would not call it contrived if a in-universe disenfranchised group is treated like crap. I would call it consistent.

>>13339797
I'm pretty sure that was the point, they were only looked down upon because of something that happened way in the past.

I am not a women and I am a Newtype, thus,I feel no sorrow towards children.

>Kira treated the Megafauna crew like he was dealing with troglodytes because of the Kuntala prejudice.

Yeah he treated them so badly he didn't even disarm them.

>This is a base nature of humans. Bellri is that jackass at work who you think keeps getting in your way. His family has a good connection with the company and it got him a nice job right away. And every time you try to get your job done he seems to get in your way. You find every reason you can to justify your anger and contempt for him. You might tell yourself that someone like him is unfit to enter upper management because he doesn't get it, he doesn't understand the plebs like you rising from the bottom.

This basically proves how the kuntala bullshit was unnecessary, you can have Mask be almost 100% the same without it.

>take away character's main motivation and defining character trait
100% the same
Like changing Kamille's name

>>13339865
You'd lose the burakumin angle for one, then there's the fact that you'd have to redo his entire character and motivations(which would be changing how his people are treated through his actions)
It'll remain a class issue but be even more vague unless you wanna go with rich vs poor.
Remove [That Bad Thing That Shouldnt Be Done Again] from your backstory or change it entirely
Remove all references to it from the script.
Noredo either doesnt get kicked in the first episode or she does for no reason other than being on a elevator she saved up to be on.
Noredo never receives snarky comments from Klim about her origins & her slingshot is even more of a questionable obsession
Kia will have to see the Earthnoids as savages for some other reason. Despite being a bloodthirsty extremist.

But yeah, "almost 100%". Removing it doesnt really improve anything IMO.

>>13339865
There is some discrimination against the Kuntala as mentioned before. Mask also says something about kuntalas being unable to live in Sancto Porto, which is reserved for the highest class. The implication was that kuntala could never achieve that.

Taking the Kuntala angle takes away Mask's entire character in any case. He only works the way he does because the Kuntala thing is his baggage. Something that he holds onto and becomes a source of anger and ambition for him.

>Appearently ANN can't handle writing that doesn't have a character exposing things every 5 minutes

That every anime fan for the last 8 years sadly.
