If I were that poof, I'd get my shit together because his subordinate is literally losing limbs over him.

>>13875969

he better not be shouting about revenge next episode, cause Ein getting hurt was his fault and he should learn from his mistake.

>Kimaris, called also Cimeies, is the 66th demon of the Ars Goetia. He is described as a godly warrior riding a black horse, and possesses the abilities of locating lost or hidden treasures, teaching trivium (grammar, logic, and rhetoric) and making a man into a warrior of his own likeness. He holds the rank of marquis, and is served by 20 legions. He also rules over all the spirits of Africa.

Guess this loosely explains Gaelio's role for the time being.

>>13875939
Anyone else feel like Gaelio and friends would've made a better protagonist group? I like a lot of the Tekkadan crew, but the show has no fucking focus, so characters just come and go and no one gets the characterization they need.

Just because he's cool, doesn't mean he's any less rapable

>>13876283
in all honesty no, Gaelio's team would be wrapped up in so much red tape they would never fight. Gaelio is an alright character, but then we'd have to deal with Ein more often. and when you think about it, Gaelio has only Ein, McGillis, and that new girl. so a team of 3? take too much changing and adding to make Gaelio protag material.

>>13876312
You're probably right, I think I just find their overall dynamic more fun.
I think Tekkadan has too many people at this point, Kudelia and Fumitan got way too much screentime that just felt like fluff. I like interactions with Mika, Orga, Eugene and pals, but it seems like it happens so infrequently.

i also point this out, in the OPENING, we see a dead Barbatos, and Mikazuki is not shown in the same frame as Kudelia.

out side of Hathaway, Bernie, and Amuro i can't come up with any protags that died in a gundam. I doubt they'd kill Mika

I don't know if I'd really count Bernie. The protagonist of 0080 was Al, and Bernie and Christina were immediate supporting characters. He wasn't really a main pilot, let alone a Gundam pilot.

They're hyping up Barbatos's next form as for "the final battle" on Gundam.info. What do you have saying s2 is confirmed, Gundamguy's article on an Amazon posting? The same article that says IBO is massively popular when it's pulling in weaker ratings than AGE?

This is the most /a/ Gundam has been in years since SEED. No wonder it's garbage.

>>13877806
>when it's pulling in weaker ratings than AGE?
this actually surprises me. AGE had lots of problems, it didn't know who its demographic was, Hino being a half-assed director, being a 50 episode series, and so on. IBO is only 26 episodes, getting good promotion from bandai's side, etc.

>>13877615
Mika isn't dying. We saw destroyed Gundams in 00's last ending and no one died. I don't see Orga dying either. The people I see dying are

wew lad

Now that I know it's getting a second season I'll just drop it here. I figured I could just tough it out since it was only 25 episodes but I'm not watching 25 more.

Why does /m/ hate IBO so much? I think its probably one of the better recent TV Gundams to come out.

>>13877892
every gundam series does well in models. some may not reach the heights bandai set (see age's ridiculous expectations) but none are total shit. So going by tv ratings, bluray/dvd sales, other merchandise, and word of mouth by the fans is a way to see how well a show did.

as far as i've seen, gundam fans/oldfags hate/bored with IBO but casual fans of anime seem to think its good.

>>13877829
wat

there was tons of gunpla for TRY and G Reco, especially for TRY. I mean, they kept releasing gunpla for it even after the series ended. What last couple series are you talking about?

>>13877844
Hi, welcome to /m/, I recommend you lurk more, find out who derringer is, and think harder next time before posting.

>>13876388
It's been announced as separate weapons pack

>>13877910
its kinda boring and there is no fights. plus the writing assumes you can't think for your self so they beat you in the head mercilessly with the character point of views or drag out what should be a 1-2 minute scene to an 8-10 minutes scene.

>>13877913
>find out who derringer is
I know who derringer is. of course he'd say this for damage control. The show is getting terrible TV views and saying people are watching it other ways is silly.

I personally download it off nyaa because i can't watch it on tv or youtube because it isn't "available in my region" but to say thats why the TV views are shit is total damage control.

>>13877913
>there was tons of gunpla for TRY and G Reco
i don't remember these two series getting western releases with a dub or seeing any of these HGs in a book store in the west. or try/greco getting various other merchandise like IBO.

I'm rooting against Tekkadan since they are just a band of zero development invincible retards

>>13877920
Yeah I can see that. When there are fights and actual shit happening its pretty good though.

The threads for this show already die quickly. Next season is going to be a desert of discussion. I really hope we get something else announced and revealed that'll air. The BF OVAs are down the pipeline but Thunderbolt and Origin are almost over. Give me something. New Unicorn, new Seed, another new series, I'll even take Frozen Teardrop. Just give me something besides this.

>>13877941
Sometimes. Not many of the fights are well-animated, majority being either heavily reliant on panning of still frames of them posing, or low detail distance shots to cover up for the inconsistent art.

>>13877955
hey despite the shitty art i loved that grunt vs mika sword fight when they were entering the atmosphere, that looked cool

>>13877941
>>13877960
I can agree with this, there's still some QUALITY moments, but it doesn't bother me much in motion.
I just wish there wasn't so much shitty retreading fluff in between this show's good moments. It really does not feel like we're nearly 4/5 through this show, I can just tell the ending is gonna get shat out.

>>13877938

>or seeing any of these HGs in a book store in the west

You mean fucking coasters?

>>13877912
>So going by tv ratings, bluray/dvd sales, other merchandise, and word of mouth by the fans is a way to see how well a show did.

No it's not. Peoples opinions on internet message boards don't mean shit. As far as tv ratings, BD sales, and "other merchandise" (whatever that is) goes, those are like sprinkles on the cash cake that is gunpla, which is the driving force behind why gundam series are still being made to this day because that is what makes bandai the most money. This is essentially bandai's mindset: "Oh we made some extra cash besides what we are already making from raking in sales of plastic crack? Neat."

>as far as i've seen, gundam fans/oldfags hate/bored with IBO but casual fans of anime seem to think its good.

It's always the smaller groups that are the loudest about hating something. Also how do you differentiate between a gundam fan/oldfag and a casual? I've seen every gundam series, read multiple gundam mangas, have way too much gunpla and have been on /m/ for years and I don't hate IBO. IBO is certainly not a great series but there are parts I like and I make sure to catch the new episode every weekend. Does that make me a casual all of a sudden?

On top of that, /m/ hates every new gundam series. Even season one of build fighters had people shitting on it and still does to this day even though it was, from at least my perspective, a pretty popular show on this board. I will legitimately be in shock if a gundam series ever comes out where everyone on /m/ has something good to say about it and agrees across the board that it's great. I mean ffs around this time last year everyone was jerking it to zeta like it was the best gundam series ever and now these days there are multiple threads and posts being made saying that it's trash. Just because some people are whining loudly about something doesn't mean that it's the general consensus of every gundam fan.

So am I the only one who enjoys the 2nd OP now?

>>13877938
>or seeing any of these HGs in a book store in the west.
I literally was just at Barnes&Noble before I came home a little while ago and all the gunpla they had there was from TRY and G Reco, except for one HG Freedom kit.

>>13877910
>I think its probably one of the better recent TV Gundams to come out.
Found the newshit

>>13878005
It's alright, a bit generic feeling though. Maybe the first OP just grew on me too much.
It also didn't feel like it arrived at a turning point in the show, so it felt a bit out of place.

>>13877982
>I can just tell the ending is gonna get shat out.
Probably with either Orga or Mikazuki dying or something along those lines. Okada does love her melodramas.

>>13878001
your first part. all gundam series do well in models IBO isn't something magical with sales that hasn't happened in a long time.

second part. duh /m/ hates everything not exclusively talking about /m/. no it doesn't make you a "casual" when i say casual i mean someone who really doesn't watch anime a whole lot. I know couple people who hardly watch anime thinking IBO is alright.

Still doesn't mean the "casuals" are going to run out and buy the models which is where bandai get its main revenue

casuals or not, the gunpla sales are doing very good.

>>13878038
but all gundam series do decently in model sales

speaking of models hows the 1/100 Gusion Rebake? is it good? I'm probably going to get the HG but i do like the Rebake.

>>13878027
First there's none in stores and then apparently when they are it means nobody is buying them. Make up your mind already.

>>13878027
Well don't feel too bad, they didn't have the Elf Bullock. They had Klims blue Jahannam, the G Self, a few petite guys, the R-Gyagya, MG Fenice R, and the aforementioned freedom kit. Oh and also the RG 00 Gundam. I want and Elf Bullock myself so if it was there I would have picked it up, but all in all it not being there was probably for the best because a have a rather large backlog right now and I really don't need to add any more to it.

>>13878042
>but all gundam series do decently in model sales

I know man, I'm not trying to say that IBO's gunpla sales are doing better than others, I was just trying to say that it's the main source of revenue that fuels Bandai to keep making new Gundam series. So even if you hate IBO, be glad the gunpla sales are doing well because that means we will get another Gundam series sooner or later and maybe you'll end up liking it hopefully.

>speaking of models hows the 1/100 Gusion Rebake? is it good? I'm probably going to get the HG but i do like the Rebake.

I can't personally say how good it is since I don't own it but in case you didn't know already the 1/100 is a dual kit where you get the frame and then the parts to make either make the Gusion or the Rebake with it so it's a little more pricey than the other 1/100 IBO kits. Whether you get the HG or 1/100 of the Rebake, you are gonna want to do a fair amount of detail painting in order to make it look good if you don't want it to be a stickerfest.

>>13878076
>you don't want it to be a stickerfest.
IBO models are sticker fests or just Rebake? i was thinking about getting Kimaris, that blue graze, Rebake, and one of the barbatos's. (all HGs, might get the 1/100 kimaris as well.)

Wait, why are people questioning Derringer? I dislike the show too but if they are going through with a second season then sales must be good.

>>13878005
It's growing on me, but the first op is better.

>>13878092
I'm still waiting for Frozen Teardrop

>>13878092
i remember derringer saying similar stuff about FT and we haven't gotten shit from that series.

>>13878096
So am I but lets face it, the longer we go without some type of announcement the less chance it has of happening. The BF OVA were announced last spring so it isn't like the announcement can't be made long before it came out.

>>13878112
I don't remember him ever saying that. He just said he knew what the next Gundam series was because he knew the Gunpla.

>>13878083
I would say the majority of IBO kits aren't stickerfests. The Rebake is just a bit of an exception because of the multiple colors used on the huge shield, and well, if you've built gunpla before, you know about bandai's "effort" with color separation on HG kits.

Look at any discussion about anime, or any other kind of media, and you'll see that this is necessary.

What's up with all the people being in arms about second season?
Am I the only one here, who both likes the show and wants it to be one seaosn. I prefer it when things conclude, instead of being dragged on longer than they need to.

Characters reached their destination, now it's just time to set up the climatic battle, fight it and conclude things.

The same flimsy evidence that Derringer used to prove that the show is a success.

I don't think a sense of one-ness with your machine via Alashiya Vagina will fill that hole. Hell, it's gonna make a few more holes if that were the case.

Kinda hard to fake something like TV ratings as well as DVD/BD sales but I guess if one v random tripfag just comes up and says its doing good despite evidence saying otherwise who are we to judge?

So what you're basically saying is that in the face of reliable evidence you ignore it and say that they're lying for no good reason because "damage control", like telling people who don't like something that it's doing well will magically increase its performance and make everybody like it again.

Whatever you say, anon.

>>13878283
>despite evidence saying otherwise
Please show me the numbers that say that the gunpla sales are tanking and that it has a poor reception in the west.

No, BD numbers from Japanese otaku do not accurately gauge western reaction or gunpla sales.

I'm totally expecting the show to end with official declaration of war between Earth and it's colonies.

But I just want that to be end. I don't believe that Tekkadan would work as focus on scale as large as a war. And then there would be room for another series down the line, if someone wants more war stories.

IBO Season 2: Harvest Mikazuki
>Mikazuki Augus begins his life as a farmer along with his two wives. They must battle their way through storms, wild dogs, and Kudelia's sloppy cooking, while trying to tend cops and graze animals

>Along the way they'll have to rely on the support of their friends the H̶u̶m̶a̶n̶ ̶D̶e̶b̶r̶i̶s̶ Harvest Sprites, a black smith, Orga's Shipping Services, Fumitan the harvest goddess, and many more

>>13878456

Kudelia and Ein have both asked about getting it and been told they shouldn't get it, not that they can't. They both appear to be about the sane age too. It appears to have a higher success rate on younger kids or higher chances of failure on older people or something - not be outright impossible past a certain point. Ein is almost certainly going to get one in the next few episodes.

Guess we will be seeing eins again soon. At least he put up a good fight this time.

>>13878005
No.

>>13877615
did she have more than one expression

So when will Ein realize Crank literally asked Mikazuki to kill him so we can end this shit show?

IBO is basically a huge monument to Okada's hackery.

Every single thing that happens in IBO, I'm thinking how I just don't care because there hasn't been enough buildup. Naze and Orga are bros so Orga is so pleased when Naze's harem shows up in the disguised Hyakuren, but they don't act like bros. It took THIS LONG just to find out why Mikazuki respects Orga so much after 20 episodes of "you guys are so close." Fumitan had some flashbacks before she died. Everything is told via flashback. Ein thinks Crank is the hottest shit ever but we knew Crank for 1 episode and his importance to Ein is mostly done in flashbacks.

All this stuff should have been built up in the first cour, but instead Okada was fantasizing about muscly orphan boys or something and couldn't be assed to try until now, and by now it just falls flat.

>>13879137
I'm convinced Okada hasn't had a hand in anything more than the first few episodes, and from there it's been just interns and other directors frantically trying to fill her shoes.

>>13879149
She only wrote the first 3 episodes and one other. I don't remember which one.

It's the same case of butcherfags getting hype for A/Z only for him to only write the first episode.

>>13879149
>>13879172

It would have been just as bad if she had wrote the whole thing.

>>13878790
>while trying to tend cops and graze animals
Why he need to farm police aside, it seems like even as farmer Mika just can't escape from the word 'graze'

>>13879149
Are you retarded? Okada isn't the centerpiece of the production, she's easily replaceable. The production started with the Producer, director and character designer. She was hired later.
She was told what she had to do, she attended every meeting and pitched her draft. It was okayed, and from there the episodes were split among the writers.
She never wrote a 2 cour anime by herself, she's always getting help from other writers so she can be able to work on the maximum amount of anime per year.

She's a hack, work for hire writer. Pretending like she had any say from the beginning is fucking retarded. They didn't even bother to give her interviews.

>>13878167

What? Ein? People seriously care about Ein or about what he did or didn't do? Where did that come about? Don't people just want to se RyuseiGo tear that shitty Shwalbe apart like I do? No seriously why would you care about fucking Ein instead of Shino?

>>13879288

Because he's one of like two or three characters with any kind of development and struggle. Shino is the other one. Their stories are actually somewhat compelling.

>Shit poorfag from Mars

I don't know if he's right and Nips are massively streaming it, but it's a fact that ratings worldwide are lower than they ever were because nowadays a lot of people streams their shows. I remember reading than Doctor Who's tv ratings are pretty bad lately but when you add the streaming viewings, the total amount of people watching it is the same than it was before.

>>13879320
But majority of what you wrote about Ein is just sympathetic flashback, for the most part his actual character is just an annoyance that needs to be there to create odds against Tekkadan. I don't get why some people actually cheered on Ein for beating up Shino or even to kill him despite the fact that Shino has yet to prove himself as a pilot and has his own demons to fight off. Ein's rage against him is misguided and plain annoying. The last thing I'd want to happen is Ein killing Shino just to prove some retarded point how "protags can die too". Their final duel should be raw and gritty but they both should come out of it alive and wiser, I think.

>>13879434

I assume it's less about being able to accurately trace it and more about plausible deniability. As long as they don't look like suits that Teiwaz are known for using then they can sortie and help Tekkadan and anyone claiming that Teiwaz were helping them can just be fobbed off using "totally different suits, they just look kind of similar" or something as the legal excuse so that their boss can remain politically neutral.

Not the other anon, but he was arguing against those as being compelling reasons to root for ein. He replied to you because you provided the reasons, and in a comment chain you reply to the person who made the argument because that's not only pragmatic, but because his argument was very much relevant to the comment you made. His reply is normal for discourse, and just because you lack the reading comprehension to understand that he wasn't saying you liked ein doesn't mean it wasn't the proper place to voice that opinion.

Is she meant to be sympathetic? Because they give her this sad lovestruck backstory but then make her an incompetent intergalactic desk jockey Christmas Cake pathetically yearning for McGillis.
Is she meant to be a joke character? Because they've given her more pathos than some main characters.
And why the fuck would they introduce her JUST NOW, 19 episodes in?

A sympathetic, ultimately non-evil villain to emphasize that not all Gjallarhorn are assholes. We may see her reaction to Tekkadan killing her subordinates, so maybe she'll be revenge-driven too.

Are you seriously complaining about Ein being a little more fleshed out beyond MUH CRANK? At least now we actually have a reason for why he was so obsessive about the dude. It's nothing offensive.

>Tekkadan lands on earth. Kudelia meets the African Union Representative Makanai Dougonosuke. But Tekkadan ends up being forced to take Makanai to the general meeting being held in Edmonton.

It is pretty fucking vague but the guy knows what he is on about. Apparently shit ratings can't kill this show and it is doing well in the west despite no one talking about it. I give up, I like to finish shows but I'm not watching 25 more episodes of the most boring trash I've ever sat through

IBO wins, I'll use my 20 minutes to play street fighter

I wish they'd put more into Crank and Eins relationship at the start so we could feel pity. Something like Crank saying he was like a son to him, even if we didn't get muh racism until now.

I wish everyone didn't feel the need to explain all imagery and metaphors out loud. Second handshake scene almost retroactively made the first one stupid. Kudelia cannot stop thinking about his big hands.

The excuse for more Gunpla courtesy of Teiwaz was stupid. Only a retard would miss the connection.

I REALLY hope there's more to Mika and Orga's back story. If they leave it at that then I'm going to flip my shit.

Chink queen was dumb. Boring character, boring back story, even Gali knows she's a shitty leader, her over-the-top personality fell flat. Dumb.

Mika riding the graze was a little predictable but compared to the rest of the series it was a good scene. If Kudelia had just shut up and cried instead of talking about his hands it would have been better.

All in all barely a 5/10 episode in a 3/10 series. I don't know how Nagai gets hired.

Someone said the gunpla shows there was no more coming. He says look at the rest of the calendar yes there is. Also comments that it is doing much better streaming and in the west

Now each one of these has faults. Gunpla does get released after a show, better than tv means shit all especially with no numbers and it is the only simulcast gundam with the gunpla put out in america at the same time so will be higher.

But, he also knows what he's on about and should be able to tell what a trend means. So either a reliable insider is just completely off and will never live it down or just drop the show now as you don't want to sit through another season

>on average they're around 30k-50k views.

I'm not against IBO but that doesn't sound great. BF and BFTry got decent viewings (BFTry has a million viewed episodes), heck even 00s1 have around 50k views per episode.

i dont think i can stomach an s2, i'm only sticking with it at the moment just to see it through. but another 25 episodes? no thanks

It seems weird to me that any evidence you look at suggests the opposite, even the merch is on sale. But he is an insider and we aren't, maybe it was just always going to get one.

I don't know and I just don't care any more and I suggest everyone just does the same. Stop watching and stop talking, the show isn't good enough for your hate. If season 2 happens let it be completely ignored like some no name trash

>>13880630
>YouTube is now an anime streaming site
get the data from actual stream sites that had to license it, not youtube. That just makes you look like an idiot.

>>13880630
Which is why everything he said reeks of damage control. We know its not doing well in the ratings in Japan and its stream numbers aren't exceptional either but apparently because its doing so well internationally, largely because you guys actually bothered to push it to other territories instead of being dicks about it, that it'll get another season based on that. It feels like IBO was suppose to be another SEED or 00 in terms of revenue but its not making a big enough splash like they hoped then again the franchise is much bigger now so IBOs current revenue is more than enough to compensate.

>>13880182
In the 2nd opening we see the Schwalbe Graze in McGliss's colours but it could have been an error. Seeing that the purple Schwalbe Graze has been totalled, Ein will probably become bionic man and get the giant MS teased in the HG announcements.

Honestly, the fact that he is supposedly an insider is why you should distrust his words. He's not going to shittalk his meal ticket.

>In contrast, the company predicts growth for its Mobile Suit Gundam franchise, both in toys and hobbies, as well as in groupwide consolidated categories. The company is projecting 78.5 billion yen (US$689 million) in Mobile Suit Gundam-related sales for the 2016 fiscal year, which is trending higher than the property's fiscal year 2015 sales of 76.7 billion yen (US$673 million).

This wasn't supposed to be Gundam without action scenes. Character interaction and development should be his strong point but this is Flashbacks and Exposition: The Gundam. I can't think of a person who has had a change in character due to another person's interaction. Orga was a perfect leader so Naze didn't change much. Kudelia wanted Mika's D from the beginning so all of these blushing moments mean nothing, same with Atra. Kudelia's goal is a single word: Revolution, it's hard to tell when anything about her goal changing. She went in naive to protest for revolution and now she's seen Mika fight for her a bunch of times so now she isn't naive, I guess. Also Fumitan died, big deal. Eugene has actually changed, forgot about him. Mika hasn't. His skill is about the same as he started, he isn't shown to be any less brutal (and the "you love killing" comment has changed nothing), he still follows Orga, he is still holding the same relationship with every single crew member outside of the girls, and so on. Only difference is now he thinks Kudelia is amazing and he has an Atra attached to him at all times.

>>13880668
First of all nowhere in my post did I specify YT I said streaming numbers in general. Second YT is the biggest video streaming site in the world and get much more traffic than CR, Daisuki c and FUNI which is why IBO is uploaded to their Gundam channel first in separate languages so if its not doing well in YT its not gonna be any better or CR or FUNI.

For a 26-episode series, gunpla doesn't get released much after the series is over. G-Reco and GBF and Try all dropped off once their run was over besides MGs. IBO is getting 1/100s instead and maybe an MG or two. Probably not though because the 1/100s are decent enough.

>>13880708
>G-Reco and GBF and Try all dropped off once their run was over besides MGs.
And it'll be the same with IBO, what's your point?

Those are NG and their new HG line

>>13880708

That's a lie. We had had a huge number of the last episode ones including Davinci, Ral Dom and Super Fimina

Plus wasn't that metal parts version confirmed for summer?

>>13880707
It's because of everything gundam-related, even IBO. But doesn't say what the investment to profit ratio is no.

>>13880722
That's why 00 was the first show in two 25 episode parts, to allow for sales of merchandise the 6 months between shows and that's probably the reason here.

So I actually don't hate IBO, maybe it's because I'm watching it with a friend.

But I feel like last episodes re-entry was kind of forced, like the emotions tied to it.

Everyone was crying, but it felt weird. Like it wasn't properly shown why Mika risked himself. To fight that one random pilot? It was never shown he was an actual threat to the shuttle, especially with 4 suits on top of it.

Was Mika feeling self sacrificial? Why did he tell Not-Char "there are still things you need to do".

Was he planning on dying there until he had his flashback?

Like when Amuro has his re-entry, or when he escapes in the core fighter, or even when Banana re-entered orbit in Unicorn, it all felt more substantial.

Maybe I'm being autistic but this scene fucked me up.

If we got a fight like this every couple episodes instead of every dozen episodes and Barbatos got the hip boosters about 3 forms ago I would probably be okay.

I mean the technological setting still makes fuck all sense so every fight has like three "Jesus Christ that is retarded" moments but when there's actually some fucking action and not just Isaribi and Barbatos bulldozing into everything it's enjoyable.

>>13879462
Too bad they forgot to change the entire fucking torso and everyone can ID MS frames (of which there are only 40 of those) without even seeing the things.

Anyways I'm sure this is the land battle armour that was mentioned in the HG manuals months ago and the writers just went full retard when they remembered they spent the last 5 episodes explaining why the Turbines weren't helping.

>>13880823
It's because of how IBO is written.

It isn't a nice even unfolding story but generic blocks placed in. Did Mika feel sacrificial? Not really but maybe a bit cause he thinks he's a weapon I guess but from the start he wanted the farm and stuff so it isn't really growth even though he seems to be acting like it? There is enough there to bullshit something but it isn't very concrete and doesn't feel like a very interesting or satisfying development.

This is why a lot of anons like you don't hate it, but it just isn't really good enough. But it is also why some say people are just nitpicking, they don't see that at a core level IBO just isn't very well made. They get blocks of stuff they see and understand and then some surprising anime bullshit, that's enough for them.

>>13877946

See you next Gundam series where you're bitching about how it's the worst thing ever and demanding they bring back IBO

>>13880823
If he didn't fight it the other pilot could have just started firing away at the shuttle. Mika needed to occupy him, I guess. Emotions did feel weird, though.

>>13879729
Why are people so upset about this? Graze is a standard issue military mecha, uniformisation is a normal occurrence, nobody is going to be redesigning basic frame from scratch when it's supposed to part of a "uniform".

>>13880657
to be honest if the tekkadan parka came with a hood it would be a definite purchase for me

>>13880583
we should've had it lose some of it's armor in reentry, that would've been a good excuse for us to get a Barbatos type 6 meant for earth combat

I'm salty because the purple graze isn't a normal HG release, damn p-bandai. Purple graze has had 2 named character fly it and has shown up a great deal more than the blue version. so thats personally why I'm mad at them.

>>13880823
There's also the whole thing about how the Graze wasn't even damaged by the reentry. It had slightly singed paint, and it was damaged and it's less-protected side was taking all the heat. The Barbatos wouldn't have even been singed.

>>13880985
the zaku may have sixty billon MSVs but they didnt all appear in the space of 1 show with 25 episodes. We only see 2 variations in show and after the first quarter they take a step back to all the the goufs, doms, z'goks and gelgoogs

>>13881004
>discontinued MS
you'd be fighting over a very small production run to partition off for variants. The Gouf has very few for a good reason, despite it depriving you of neat MSV designs.

>>13880985
Of the last 5 Gundam shows, IBO has the least variation of Mobile Suits. Even Age's 1st arc had at least 2 enemy grunt units.

>everybody watches this every week the second its released
>they immediately run to /m/ every week to say how shit it is and how they are done with the show

Why do you guys lie to yourselves? This show is actually pretty decent. It's a little slow paced, but nothing a season 2 won't fix. If you guys are actually serious about these criticisms you have some insane standards.

Because the entire reason a Gouf is better than a Zaku is because it's specialized for ground combat. All of its major differences come from redesigning around not having to carry things needed in space. (as opposed to the J-type and G-type Zaku, which just stripped it out but retained the compromises of being originally designed for it)

IBO reminded me why I liked it in the first 9 episodes or so with this episode, and it also reminded me why I'm displeased with it.

Good shit this episode

And that's just what the whole series has been like. They should have dwelled more on the Mars children thing, on how shit life was. It was a good scene. And stuff like that should have been brought up more. I'm interested in the world, not necessarily some of the other people.

Oh well. I'm still enjoying it I suppose.

I just don't like how Mika is the only orphan who acts the way he does despite all of Tekkandan supposedly having a shared background. The closest to him is Akihiro but he's just quiet.
