>>13713085

>>13713085
Nah, we're just not obnoxiously obsessed with it.

IBO is a good autist deterrent.

I never had interest in it from at all.

14 "Vessel of Hope": Tekkadan delivers cargo for the Doruto Colony from a Teiwaz request.

15"The direction of footprints": Workers start to protest in the colony, Tekkadan gets involved.

This week's episode was typical IBO.

Nothing happened.

Because why do we need an IBO thread to shitpost about Tomino and G-reco?

There was no episode this week. The show is dragging terribly, and doesn't leave anything to talk about since the thing thinks we're all blubbering simpletons and tells us everything at least 2 times.

>>13713085

Is it normal for me to hate Naze?

>>13713144
Hey, at least Kudelia didn't have a pity party.
Last weeks ep made me feel like things might pick up, but >>13713140 has me feeling I'm gonna be disappointed

>>13713293
Yeah, it kind of seemed as though, or at least I hoped, they were going to spend maybe one episode in the colony and leave after they foil the assassination attempt on Kudelia. But it looks like we're getting 2 episodes, and most likely a few more, on the colony and things will get dragged out.

Here's my prediction

This week
- 15 minutes spent on exposition on colony life - oppressed by Earth and Gjallarhorn blah blah blah
- Kudelia finding out new things because she's the sheltered princess
- more "romance" bullshit between her and Mika, maybe Atra if the writers remember to include her
- last 5 minutes is the foiled assassination attempt, action completely composed of stills or just poorly animated

Next week
- 12 minutes spent on Kudelia being shocked and feeling sorry for herself or civilians that died in some sort of chaos, more repetitive dialogue about muh cause or muh Earth oppression
- 5 minutes spent on more ass-dragging bullshit about the colony actually wanting to revolt from Earth because of its treatment
- last 3 minutes Tekkadan and colony militia get ready to fight Gjallarhorn
- last minute is the Fumitan-is-a-spy reveal cliffhanger

No show this week, so no point.
If you have some specific topic in mind you want to discuss, make a thread. General threads are cancer that just encourage circlejerk shitposting. Other recent shows had non-stop threads because of paedo-shipping and top-tier trolling, neither of which are things /m/ needs more of. IBO will be discussed again when IBO continues this weekend, there is no need to have a thread up 24/7 with nothing new to discuss.

Yeah, actually. Got bored with it around episode 10.

Why are the Orphans portrayed as sympathetic when they pretty much kill other orphans without batting an eyelash?

Unlike G-Reco I don't need to take month long breaks from it to finish it. So far enjoying this and hope it ends on a good note.

You are forgetting that it has become yet another seasonal show than the feel of watching "gundam".

It's the most "family" oriented show, that's why.

Theme is about true "bonds" that are thicker than "blood".
So far alomost all blood relation has been shown in bad light because they happened to be privilaged class or plain adults.
Only Imouto relation are safe.
Just look at it what Fareed and Kudelia's biologicallly true parents did to them.

Unintentionally or intentionally, they are going for "evil adult " theme more blatantly than previous shows.

It should be named Iron bonded Orphans .

If there's one thing you should have learned about hentai or fan art by now is that they are almost never on model, sadly.
That's one reason why I only really read original hentai, and not doujinshi

Oh shit I completely forgot there was no episode this week
I guess that sums up how I feel about this show

I just watch it because everything else this season has ended already

>>13715914

Macross Delta has shifted the playing field at least, since it's soaking up most of the shitposting for the moment. It'll probably only last another week or two until the next new episode of IBO when it'll go back to there again, but if you want decent discussion of IBO now is probably your best bet since the focus is shifted elsewhere.

It just isn't very interesting to talk about. Everything is so set out and characters are repetitive and predictable. What we know of the politics leaves little to guess at but it also isn't deep enough that there is anything really there. The mechs aren't even interesting to talk about cause they just aren't very special.

And from the looks of >>13713140 fuck all is happening in the next two episodes as well outside them introducing a new issue with the workers. We are half way through and it feels like we've only had an introduction to most things and at best sort of started to develop them like the romance bit. The show even feels like it has filler with the pirate bit which was horribly executed and even the characters in the show were telling guts stop repeating the same shit you aren't a slave and can do what you want idiot. Unless they can get themselves a season 2 this show will be a complete mess by the end

Well, it's like Metal Gear Solid V alright, nothing much happens until the very end. In before the actual final arc can only be seen as an OVA on sale.

I'm OK with the lack of action for sale of world building. But if there is going to be only 25 episodes, that seems a bit unnecessary

>>13713085
Too be honest until I saw that barbatos thread I forgot this show was even a thing. Do yeah I lost interest. (Hence why I dropped it like two months ago)

>>13716043

Yea, that's not actually what I said anon. All I said was that Delta was taking up the focus of shit-posting, not that nothing else was being shitposted on or would be in future.

I really enjoy seeing the comradery between the Tekkedan, and the music is great. But even that isn't worth talking about..

>>13720071
There are a lot of nice touches. I like how there's a definite sense that the Tekkadan boys and the Turbines women have grown close. When Lafter comes to save Akihiro you can get a distinct sense that he's her favourite because they've spent so much time together in the simulator. Unfortunately it meanders a lot and doesn't seem dedicated to its own premise sometimes.

The show suffers the exact opposite problem I had with Victory. Victory had a batshit crazy pace that rushed to kill off as many characters as humanly possible causing me to not give a shit before the halfway mark meanwhile this show takes forever to get anywhere. I don't mind a slow pace, hell Barry Lyndon is one of my favorite movies but there's gotta be an actual reason for it which this show doesn't have. It's like whoever is writing it couldn't manage to flesh out a 25 episode plot so they're trying to drag out everything as long as possible.

>>13713348
I just love how you make no mention to any mobile suits in those predictions.

>It's like whoever is writing it couldn't manage to flesh out a 25 episode plot so they're trying to drag out everything as long as possible.
I believe this is because of Okada's lack of involvement. The writers are just left with a bare bones structure and can't do too much as it is Okada episodes when anything really happens.That means all they can really do is have the characters do the same shit a lot

They could fill it with fights but all the money went to Okada's cocaine fund

>>13720327

What the fuck is gonna be the plot of season 2? I figured we were heading for Gjallahorn vs Mars independence rebels led by Tekkadan, but now we have Tekkadan being part of a mafia organization, and McGillicuddy planning a coup to reform the system, where the hell is this show going?

My interest in the show is waning especially when we've got a few kits already and the season is almost over and we still don't have any damashi out.

>>13721663
>What the fuck is gonna be the plot of season 2?
Kudelia is still useless but this time they have to take her to Jupiter. Mika kisses her puffy vulva this time around.

>>13721663
Is it known that there will be season 2?

Also, yes, there is obviously war incoming and if a PMC can't find stuff to do during a war, it's not very good at it's main business.

I'm curious /m/, how would you write the next episode in order to get series back on track and make it "good"? Of course given what we have so far and not including the leaked scripts for the following episodes

>>13722700
I don't know the details, but actually landing on earth would help a lot.

>>13722700
Maybe they could speed things up a bit, but honestly I'm fine with the show.
But I think even the slow pace is excusable as the show gives proper focus on it's large cast and focuses on the different character's views for any event that happens. Rushing the story forward would mean taking some of that away and I think the show would be less for it.

But ensemble cast and lots of character focus is basically my weakness, so there is that.

>>13722771
Same here, I'm enjoying the show so far as it is, I just wanted to gauge other people's interests. If more action was to be added, maybe Brewers could show up at the colony with more pirates (assuming we haven't already seen the entirety of their organization)/other mercenary forces (possibly provided by Gjallahorn?) for revenge, and Mika, Orga and anyone else who came with them instead of staying behind on the Isaribi have to scramble to defend the colony and themselves using the Man Rodi & munitions they planned on selling while working their way back to their ship. Idk I think it would be interesting to put the characters in a situation they wouldn't normally be in

>>13722771
> Rushing the story forward would mean taking some of that away and I think the show would be less for it.
I remain convinced that IBO is an attempt to set up a larger world to explore in a way that other AUs haven't; at least, not when it comes to animated material. There's really no other way I can see them being this fucking expository and having ~25 episodes to work with - this can't end in a resolution, it's going to have to end in a conflict.

>>13722940
>I remain convinced that IBO is an attempt to set up a larger world
But it's not a good attempt. IBO has a pretty good setting imo, but they've explored very very little of it. Why aren't we getting more political stuff? Why didn't we explore Mars more? Most of it takes place on a couple of ships inside a faction we are told is very powerful (Teiwaz), but see extremely little of.

>>13721663
It's gonna be notAEUG VS notTitans all over again.

>>13722771
00 focused on giving every side a viewpoint but wasn't so boring about it. 00 did everything this show is trying to do but way better. These characters aren't even good so focusing on them isn't even worthwhile. The world isn't explored at all. We've been on 2 ships for over half the show. We didn't even see 1% of Mars and from the episode previews the only hopes we have of getting back to Mars is an epilogue. Instead we're going to explore a colony, something that has been done 1000 times in Gundam then descending to Earth which again has been done 1000 times. The show has brought absolutely nothing unique to the franchise

>>13721663
Why do people keep talking about an S2 that isn't hinted at and probably can't happen because the staff have already been signed into different projects already?

>>13722953
>Why aren't we getting more political stuff?
There was a man who injected political drama into his films; his name is George Lucas and they were the Star Wars prequels. Political drama and sci-fi action drama just don't mix very well.

>Why didn't we explore Mars more?
Presumably because Mars is a bland shithole? I realize that it's not very imaginative, and I'm with you on wanting more, but that seems to be the way things are. Hopefully Mars gets developed by way of juxtaposition upon Tekkadan's return and Mars is embroiled in anarchy and rebellion, or has been the victim of brutal suppression tactics.

>Most of it takes place on a couple of ships inside a faction we are told is very powerful (Teiwaz), but see extremely little of.
Yeah, at this point, I'm more interested in the Gjallarhorn stuff because that at least has the potential to become interesting without any major paradigm shifts in the plot. As an aside, I think it's worth recognizing and defining what they mean in-series when Teiwaz is labelled as "powerful" - it's pretty simple, they can manufacture a mobile suit. Not an ahab reactor, but the rest of the suit. They're also the biggest dogs in a restless sea of interests that aren't worth Gjallarhorn's time and interest. The simple reality is that the big dogs of IBO would barely register as a blip in any other Gundam-verse.

>>13722975
What are you talking about? There's very little politics in the prequels besides Sidious taking over the Republic from within and honestly its well-done.

>inb4 the trade dispute from episode I
It actually set it up pretty well, and the vast majority of the film doesn't focus on it.

>>13723000
Oh and I'll give you the rest of the post, but I do wish the setting was utilized more. Like you said, Gjallarhorn has tons of potential and hopefully something comes out of it. But it's not right to just leave them on the backburner.

>>13722975
You're full of shit. Politics and sci-fi go well together. It's all about execution. If Mars is such a bland shithole and not worthy of exploration they should have just made the show start off at a distant colony instead of wasting the setting. There is no time for a return to Mars. They barely start to descend to Earth by episode 18. Unless you expect Earth to be 1 or 2 episodes with the journey back to Mars skipped the show is literally too slow for anything else to happen.

>>13723026
The operative phrases were drama and action drama. Politics and sci-fi go well together; political drama and action-based drama do not. One relies on a slow and methodic buildup of tension while the other is characterized by more immediate gratification.

As a comparison, people are bitchy about the Brewers jobbing like punks. Now, if this were a standard full-series UC entry, and the Brewers were a Zeonic division rather than a faction, people would be more okay with it. The political element of the show would be much more simplistic, allowing for monster-of-the-week type enemies to come and go without anyone getting too ass-blasted - but in a more politically-oriented show, for a faction to show the fuck up, finish their introduction, and then get rekt in the span of three-or-so episodes, it's off-putting because it feels pointless. Why introduce more complexity only to do nothing with it? This is one of the issues with IBO, it just doesn't really know what it wants to be. The two elements are undermining each other. Now, could it be done better? Yes. It doesn't have to be shit - not that I think IBO is garbage - but I'm making the argument that this is part of what's stopping IBO from ever being great.

>>13723000
>There's very little politics in the prequels besides Sidious taking over the Republic from within and honestly its well-done.
There's very little political (ie. governmental) politics, but the prequels are filled with political tension - mostly in the form of the Jedi and their council talks over Palpatine and Anakin. Actually, mostly in the form of anything involving Anakin, especially his relationship with Padme and how it endangers both of their interests.

When he was putting together the original trilogy, Lucas was trying to marry very political concepts {The Empire as a fascist and overly capitalistic future space-America that finds itself laid low by jungle teddy-bears with rocks, ie. the Vietnam War} and his childhood memories of rich Americana. The Americana won out in the OT.... probably because the writers and producers he got stuck with massaged it out of the script; however, in the prequels, Lucas goes back to that watering hole despite those elements really not feeling very Star Wars-y. That being said, it's not even really a question of there being a lot or a little, it's whether it belongs there at all and whether it can synergize with other kinds of drama. Personally, I don't think so, but I'm not going to assert my opinion as being definitive on the matter.

I will make a mild exception for Game of Thrones, but that show tends to rely on a dominant form of drama within a given setting at a particular point in the story rather than mixing and matching the whole way through.

S2 is generally thought to be bad though. S2 also puts all the factions together and makes them comically evil. Kind of what IBO is doing. S1 was great to see each Blocks response to Celestial Being, to get into the minds of the members of the Blocks and to see the world as a whole react to Celestial Being.

>>13722940
So you're saying this is like if Wing was made with making Frozen Teardrop, Glory of Losers, etc later in mind?

The Brewers mentioned trying to get support from Gallarhorn or however it's spelled. They kind of seem like they were in Tekkaden's place before they met up with the Turbines. So are they relatively new or have they been pirating out there on their own for a long time now?

>>13723919
No, but I implied that most of the story happening on two ships is not really a good argument against the series.
