geeze your attention span is weak. this is exactly the same sort of reaction for Gundam 00 S1.

>>13558266
No, attention span has nothing to do with this. Attention span would be
>Why are they doing this again?
>Why did they change sides?
>Wait I thought Gjallarhorn was bad?
>Why are they allying with Jupiter now they tried to kill them last episode?

The show is boring exactly because we ARE paying attention, and what happens is extremely dull and boring. After nearly every episode I find myself thinking "Wait, that's it? Did they just waste 20 minutes on basically nothing? Again?" The people with short attention spans are the people who find this drivel entertaining - because they don't realise the exact same things are being said over and over and over and over and over and over again.

>>13557172
That Mika's pic: it looks like the hand belongs to Orga and he is trying to stand up while Mika is checking if Orga has a fever.

>>13557172
And now hands on the hips pics:
-Chad and Dante are being happy and Akihiro is being serious, Shino is teasing someone - most likely Orga
-Takaki is scolding Ride Mass

>>13558361
Yeah like i just get the feeling its assuming we're not paying attention? So its taking extra steps to hold our hands and make sure following along. I mean i dont mind a slow pace and more focus on character interaction, its just it can be tedious having the same things explained to you again and again. Its just needs to cut the fluff. just a bit worried because theirs ony 25/26 episodes

>>13559403
Yeah I've been saying this since episode 3. They either need to step their game up soon, or things are going to end up being either rushed as fuck in the end or it's never really going to "get going" and stay lukewarm the whole way through.

I'm more interested in the shoulders. They look like they might house some kind of system there. In any other show I'd speculate it had beam shields there or maybe some kind of generator for electrical attacks or something, but with IBO being all physical stuff who knows.

>>13558361
>The show is boring exactly because we ARE paying attention
This. I feel like I could just watch this while building gunpla and still understand everything. It is very slow, repetitive and gives little interesting to latch onto and think about

I disagree that every episode has nothing happen, but too many do and they have a habit of being in a row which cements the idea

>>13562297
Eugene was never not an idiot.

He's a strange mix of brash and easily riled up and cowardly.

Also waifu material.

>>13562312
>never not an idiot.
He admitted he had no idea what was going on or who Kudelia exactly was, when he was in the fucking room when these were all explained and they discussed how they would act on this

Outside that he is just a very standard anime teenage boy

>>13562289
I don't know why you guys don't like exposition or plot progression. Are you literally only here for the fights?

>>13562328
yes

it's all just setups and no payoff.
no drama, but dry fluff.
need more tits, if no fights.

>>13562319
You're blowing it out of proportion.
The way the scene went it's clear that he didn't get the larger context of what was going on.

The simplistic notion that Kudelia is for Mars independence and that Gjallarhorn wants to silence her because of that was probably clear to him.
But as seen by Naze's the matter is a little more difficult than Gjallarhorn just being colonial lords.
In fact it's very likely that they don't actually have much direct benefit from controlling Mars.
It's the fact that Kudelia is directly defying them and wants to speak to the economic blocks directly is what worries them.

>>13562328
>exposition
Cause it is a very lazy way to tell a story and when it is information being repeated it is even worse

>plot progression.
Barely. Since we found out that Mars wants independence from earth and the Jewess is trying to do that we have barely got anywhere. Bad guys want to stop it and there was a war ages ago. That is all in episode 1

8 episodes into a 25 episode show and all that has been added is the bad guys fought in that war and there is a mafia of some kind. If the characterisation was any good this would be fine but they are also weak as fuck

>>13562334
>The way the scene went it's clear that he didn't get the larger context
When was that clear in early scenes when he was discussing plans with everyone else? He is at every meeting and even talks at them and is there to hear others explaining the situation

It was not made clear. They made him stupid for a scene to give a reason for exposition

>>13562328
what fights?

>>13562349
You're retarded.

This is the first time anybody went into any detail on WHY Gjallarhorn was so hardcore against Kudelia.
Because if they were actually enforcing the interests of the Economic Blocks of Earth, there wouldn't be any reason not to let her talk to them.
But since we now know that they're trying to keep their thumb on both Mars and Earth, it'd be some bad shit to let them converse.

This is something the viewer didn't know, so why should Eugene?

>>13562376
Those things that take up almost every second or third episode.

>>13562377
>WHY Gjallarhorn was so hardcore against Kudelia.
No it isn't. It adds another part to it but we already new they didn't want to lose control of Mars

Plus he didn't just not get that bit, he said he didn't get any of it or why she was important. That part hasn't changed and had been explained multiple times

>>13562376
It's those parts where the animation gets really bad and then for a second sort of good

>>13562392
Sorry, I read the scene differently than you.
As in the right way.

No it really is. Character interaction and development only work when the characters are interesting. IBO doesn't have interesting characters. I don't care about these characters so I don't care about them interacting.

>>13565994
Don't criticize the show you moran!!! It's great and you're just hating on it for the sake of hating!! So much has happened this episde!!!!!!

>>13565994
Yeah, that's the one thing I felt they're overdoing with. Same goes for Ein going MUH CRANK.

Still, a pretty enjoyable episode on the whole.

>>13565928
Except Turn A was 50 episodes long and thus perfectly paced.

>>13565928
You say this every thread. People liked Turn A because it was actually fucking interesting. This is just boring shit.

>>13566004
Bringing up Crank again reminded me how quickly they blew past him and how non-existent the relationship his and Ein's relationship was.

Crank should have been in command instead of that stupid guy.

>>13566005

Yeah, I'm not inclined to believe that excuse at all.

If it was on screens today you'd probably be snoozing. Where's my fights? Where's my character death?

>>13566023
Turn A had more, and better, fights by this point in the story, and when it didn't have fights it was busy looking absolutely gorgeous, had a great soundtrack and interesting dialogue. IBO has shitty fights, garbage animation and QUALITY art everywhere, generic as fuck soundtrack, and the same exposition and details repeated ad nauseam every single episode.

NotJerid must be the most flat Jerid-clone ever.
If he said "I'm going to get revenge because I'm a Jerid-clone and that is how the trope goes!" his characterization would be a lot better.

What really grind my gear in iBO is when people moving from one ship to other ship, it's just, happened.
One scene they are on ship A, and suddenly they already on ship B.

Did they already have instant teleportation device?

The general flow and direction isn't good in general. It just cuts the necessary scene so we can consume the next information block with little thought to how those scene feel next to each other and how it adds to a theme or feeling

I'm not sure which episode was worse this one or the one from last week. If they were trying to have more character exposition and bonding they fell miserably at it.

>>13566229
Yeah.

>>13566234
Huh. It's just I'd imagined there'd be more fuss about it.

>>13566218
It's like they focus on some background characters without actually paying them any attention. For instance, Shino - he appears every now and then but we know as much about him as we did in the episodes 1 and 2. The same could be said about Atra. She's just there.

>>13566237

Every other Gundam show at least had action in it and proper world building, this barely has any and most of its dialogue is either slice of lify or "guys look I'm poetic!" Say what you will about Age, I consider it the worst non-SD entry, but there were still plenty of moments that stuck out. Every Gundam series except this where all I remember is Mika the serial killer and Barbatos doing a backflip.

Did she not make up her mind 5 episodes ago?

>>13566831
I wonder what point in production they realised she had nothing to do for the first half of the show

>>13566831

5 episodes ago no-one had raised the explicit possibility that her actions had a high probability of starting a war. At the time she was deciding to have Tekkadan escort her to Earth despite the danger they might face because they were okay with it and she should respect that. Here she's confirming that it's worth risking a war to get what she wants for Mars because she knows it's worth the risk and doesn't want to waste the lives that she's already cost.

>>13566613
That's why they were all drinking 'juice', amirite. And Orga got sick because he ate something bad, amirite.

>>13566831
did you miss the part where her actions might CAUSE A FUCKING WAR?

Plus, it's not like she has been characterized as being kind of insecure.

>>13566837
>she was deciding to have Tekkadan escort her to Earth despite the danger
In other words she decided that fighting/death would happen because of her mission and she decided that was okay

Also the fact she never considered war could happen despite being one of the leading people in the movement is baffling

>>13566837
>5 episodes ago no-one had raised the explicit possibility that her actions had a high probability of starting a war.
>>13566843
>did you miss the part where her actions might CAUSE A FUCKING WAR?

Are telling me she never opened a History Book?

And she knew that already. Or did she think they attacked the base on Mars for fun?

>>13566851
>>Are telling me she never opened a History Book?

Also she should have realized that her side would be the underdog.

>>13566851

> Are you telling me she never opened a history book

Are you telling me that anyone giving speeches about economic equality should explicitly expect they're setting the stage for a war despite the fact that's not a historically accurate view of events? It sometimes does happen, but it often doesn't. She didn't know that it was a possibility because she wasn't aware of just how much control Gjallarhorn could lose with her actions.

> Or did she think they attacked the base on Mars for fun?

As far as she knew it was just a retaliatory action by the Mars branch and nothing more. She knew escaping had upset them but didn't figure they'd ever be doing more than perhaps sending some small groups like the inspectors after them since it wouldn't be worth more than that and certainly not worth starting a war over. Now that someone has made clear that she's starting to undercut their power by conducting negotiations that do not involve them and consequentially downplays their power and usefulness on the world stage it's much more obvious why they'd be after her and that they'd be willing to do a lot more to prevent her from doing what she wants than sending some groups to cover over a bit of political embarrassment.

>>13566851
>>13566848
It really isn't.

How should she know that Gjallarhorn would go so far?

This thing started out with her just wanting some bodyguards to escort her for a conference on Earth.

Then she realized that she's in some real fucking danger and the GH is willing to send entire platoons after her.

That's something she had to digest.
But she still probably thought that once she reached earth and held her speeches and meetings, Gjallarhorn would throw the towel and seize their aggressions.

However the Taiwaz guys put the whole thing into perspective. Gjallarhorn is basically controlling the economic blocks at this point, not the other way around, so they can't just yank their leash once this blows over.
Furthermore, openly challenging Gjallarhorn's hold over Mars and Earth could very well lead to an armed, galactic conflict.

These are all things Kudelia didn't really know since she's an idealistic, red planet bumpkin that thought that all it took would be some diplomacy.

>>13566851
bitch can't even dress herself still

>>13566874
>>13566878
Oh, yeah, so she thinks she is going to strip NotTitans of one of their territories with good words and the power of love.

Come on, guys. We could call her naive before this episode, but after now she is just an idiot if she never thought there was going to be a war.

>>13566874
>Should a person learn form history when they are following similar events
Are you really fucking asking that?

>she wasn't aware of just how much control Gjallarhorn could lose with her actions.
She should know that given her position

>>13566878
>How should she know that Gjallarhorn would go so far?
Cause they are a military organisation that makes it's money by having this control. She knew she would be attacked which is why she got the orphans in the first place. She therefore knew they would take military action against her

>That's something she had to digest.
She didn't digest it, she was told. It had aparently never come across her mind until she was told just them


Kudelia seems to just be an idiot for the plot

>>13566874
>It sometimes does happen, but it often doesn't. She didn't know that it was a possibility because she wasn't aware of just how much control Gjallarhorn could lose with her actions.

She should have been suspected something when her meeting about independence was secret.

>>13566878
>>How should she know that Gjallarhorn would go so far?

They already attacked her.

>>13566885

She wasn't aware that the notTitans were the ones in actual control of those places prior to this point, since publicly they're just a security company who negotiates deals not the real power behind the powers. As such, how is she supposed to know she's endangering their stanglehold?

>>13557172

>>13566352
it's on hulu, crunchyroll, funimation. It's getting pretty damn high views on those platforms.

>>13566895
>She wasn't aware that the notTitans were the ones in actual control of those places prior to this point
So she is asking for independence but she doesn't even know who she is asking to? Seriously?

>>13566895
>She wasn't aware that the notTitans were the ones in actual control of those places prior to this point,
The show states she has been in debates with earth for a while. How did she have no idea of the actual structure because lacking that knowledge means she could not debate properly

>>13566885
Consider that Gjallarhorn is essentially the UN peace corps.
They're not the Titans in the public eye.

Normal people wouldn't expect them to be as corrupt and ruthless as they turned out to be.

>>13566898
You can't even see views count on those sites

>>13566904
She wasn't really negotiating with them just an economic zone they set up.

>>13566895
She spoke last episode about how they executing rioters/protesters. why wouldnt she see the danger?

>>13566913
>economic zone
You mean those things the Gjallarhorn keep an eye on and have some control over as stated in the show?

You'd think she'd read up on that and make sure she knew enough about it before debating, or otherwise would be told in a debate

>>13566920
>You'd think she'd read up on that and make sure she knew enough about it before debating, or otherwise would be told in a debate

Except she doesn't really think about that when Gjallarhorn tries to kill her. Its pretty much a set up for a conflict.
