So biscuit will finally bite it next episode? Yeah I know none one die in IBO, but the few that had die were made incredibly obvious, like Shino I’m sure Ein will kill him after his cyborg augmentation just to show he is a threat

so what happened in the episode? currently downloading it.

>>13903719
The old man they were trying to meet end up been powerless, so now they must escort him to a meeting so he may not be powerless any more or something like that, Biscuit brother kill himself, Ein will become a cyborg and the orphans dislike seafood

Calling it now: Worst entry in the franchise.

>>13903884
Impossible, Destiny and Age still exist.

>>13904091
Destiny was awesome and at least Age can sometimes be entertaining, go back to the circle jerk on Anime Suki.

>>13903719
It turns out that they are still being used by old men like highschool girls in an h-manga. Also Biscuit has a bad day.

>>13903514

Also Ein becoming the 6 Million Dollar Martian.

>>13904108
Destiny was awesome? Wow I’m speechless really? I mean SEED I could understand even with its flaws it was fun, but Destiny? Also it’s still the worst entry point by virtue of been SEED sequel

>>13904170
I wouldn't say it was awesome, but it wasn't this bad by a long shot. Shit happened, a good deal of it was interesting and it had fights that weren't entirely off-model.

>>13904108
If you're going to declare your tastes as being abysmally shitty then why bother commenting on the quality of something else? You're just going to be disregarded.

The ONLY thing IBO could do to make itself the shittiest series ever would be to link it absolutely to UC. It would make no sense but it would ruin the franchise. Sunrise would commit suicide and Bandai would topple.

Then it can be called the worst.

By you, faggot. Very few people on this board think it is the worst below Destiny and AGE. If you want to keep closing your eyes and covering your ears then by all means keep doing so.

At least shit happens in AGE and Destiny. 99% of IBO has been talking heads spouting exposition or reiterating exposition that was said already.

>>13904243

Just go to Horrible's site and get the magnet link.

>>13904248
I'll call it the worst for being full of horrible characters, awful pacing, bad visuals and animation and being incredibly boring

>>13904391
desu I think IBO has gotten slightly better since the Dort Colony bullshit. At least the plot actually started to move forward. But yeah it's still really bad. It'll mostly depend on the ending whether or not I call it worse than Destiny or AGE, but it's certainly more boring.

>>13904220

Pretty much. In IBO they are always sitting and talking, walking and talking etc. Hell, even Episode 1 was more lively than IBO.

>>13904391
I'd say that IBO is more insubstantial than offensively awful like Destiny or AGE. The characters are blobs of nothing, the action is weak, story is incredibly slow and always takes the safe route.

I do feel like it should have been Kudelia explaining shit to Orga and Biscuit rather than the old man just telling everyone how it is. Then again, with the implied censorship Gjallahorn's got going on, information doesn't really get around that easily.

You're right, but I'm not sure how "he's already crippled so here goes nothing" would make sense, to me it just sounds like it could make matters worse. Otherwise the kids who failed the operation (that might already be dead) could just keep trying indefinitely.

>>13904778
He won't die with organ implants (which could still stress his body especially if rejection occurs), the system makes it more likely he will die so is just doubling up

No it doesn't make sense for poorly thought out revenge

>>13904764
Chance of beating kids before: 10%
Chance of beating them as a cripple: 0%

Wouldn't you take these chances?

>>13904690
I think the risk for the CGS boys stemmed from their superiors not giving a shit and spending as little money as possible to get the procedure done. We even see in the earlier episodes how they didn't even give the kids anesthetics, and had a couple of guys stick it into the patient in a rusty, dank room. If Gjallahorn is doing it, i'm sure they'll actually treat it like a proper surgical operation, since they have the money to. Or they'll say fuck it and just jab a needle into Ein for dramatic effect idk at this point

>>13904690
>>13904784
I was under the impression that the choice was between being useless and unable to pilot or risking your life for another shot to kill those kids.

>>13904778
The point is they're making the system out to be something that could save his life, when according to all the infodumping they spent the rest of the show doing, it should actually endanger him further.

Also NotGarma doesn't want to take a gamble, he wants to save Ein's life. They could do it with cybernetics but he turned it down because he's anti-transhumanism, an the AV-system is something even "grosser", it wouldn't make sense to bet on it even if he's already dying.

>>13904784
Well Ein had a few screws loose and Gali-Gali isn’t helping, he when from Pedo enabler to dead wish achiever

>>13904799

>>13904795
>being useless
Being alive isn't useless when he is being foxed with robot organs anyway, especially when your other plan is surgery that can kill (while you are in a weakened state) so you can kill children to avenge your syperior that wasn't happy about killing kids after they both accidentally killed a few

Ein is an awful character

That would've been a valid interpretation if Gaelio didn't respond right after in a way that pretty concretely contextualized "save" as "save his life".

>>13904843
That one was cute not sexy.

Ein seems like a Mr Bushido 2. He's getting a last-second upgrade so they can have a final episode one-on-one equal tech fight while the others just fight the 10-man Jet Stream Attack. If there's a 2nd series they'll then make him the special snowflake rival.

I prefer that to the constant praise it gets elsewhere because it is in fact bad but for example I thought last week's episode was good but it was business as usual for /m/ in roasting it

>>13903487
So this is getting a second season right? Because there is no way they will wrap up everything in 5 episodes. If it does it will be consider the worst Gundam ever. And this is coming from someone who enjoy this Show at the beggining

>>13905023
/m/ hates it, reddit loves it. I like it, but I understand a lot of the reasons why people might not. Just know that the Brewers arc is considered the low point of the series so far, but it does get better after that (at least I think so). Maybe give it a try once all the episodes are released, I think the show would be more enjoyable when you don't have a week to over-analyze each little thing that happens.

>>13905023
It's the Ninninger of Gundam, but with far, far less fights in general, if that tells you anything.

>>13905084

>Just know that the Brewers arc is considered the low point
Dort is much lower. Brewers had a horribly awkward introduction, lazy development and terrible character designs but at least has battles and sort of works. It is just bad filler. Dort has all of that plus huge amounts of retardation. I will never get over the no we can't fire another bullet at the woman in our sites causes that might get more attention after we already shot once (and people are shooting all over the city), plus it would take too long like teh conversation we are having now

One shot is plausible deniability.
Two shots, especially when the spotlight is on your mark, leaves traceable evidence that undermines the efficacy of a wetjob.

This isn't a hack job like Oswald needing 3 shots to zero in and kill JFK. You take the shot and walk away before dots are connected.

>One shot is plausible deniability.
>Two shots, especially when the spotlight is on your mark, leaves traceable evidence that undermines the efficacy of a wetjob.
What the fuck are you on about? What spotlight? There were two people and some bodies there no one else was doing shit. If they were caught no mater how many shits they had taken there was no plausible deniability. The evidence was the bullet already in her fucking back

And why would they care anyway? The gjallarhorn want her dead they aren't going to do some investigation

>>13905256
And I posted a screen shot where it had fallen through most of the atmosphere and was completely fine

How about I be nice and say it might have lost a little bit at the very end. That is still 100% bullshit that is lasted

I would laugh and applaud if Atra gets killed off and ABSOLUTELY NOBODY feels sad or gives a damn about it at all, or even mentions her ever again in S2.

>>13905288
>S2
Please stop.

>>13905248
This.

After the first shot, Gjallahorn would be aware of a sniper team in the area. Any more shots and they would be able to pinpoint their location and track them down, which could lead to proof of third-party involvement if someone decided to try and connect the dots. I do agree that them sticking around to talk about it was stupid, but that was probably more for the sake of exposition/story-telling and was executed poorly.

>>13905307
1 shot is plenty to track them down.

>>13905307
They could do it after one shot. They would have to actually send people which would take time when they are already dealing with an uprising which includes having much of their force standing by in MS, one more shot when she is literally in their sites takes none and they should already have an escape route planned

> which could lead to proof of third-party
When you hire assassins you generally get ones that don't blab. Even easier have them claim to be working for someone else, hell the gjallarhorn would probably all for them saying the Dort workers paid them because of a schism in the group, easy propoganda

>>13905075
>Because there is no way they will wrap up everything in 5 episodes
They can wrap anything they want in 5 episodes with exposition. Which of course is what's gonna happen.

>>13905333
>They can wrap anything they want in 5 episodes with exposition
This, they wrapped up dort rebels not only surviving that massacre but somehow getting the save level of rights as earth in what was not at very best a day but seems like less with exposition.

>>13905321
>>13905327
Care to provide work experience and education to back that claim, mister forensic scientists?

>>13905344
We currently have systems that track off one https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gunfire_locator . We also never see them even trying to set one of these up (so they were never looking for a second shot and were likely too busy with the whole other shit previously stated which is where we see them acting) and it would likely be effected by shots being fired everywhere anyway.In fact care to provide proof the ghorn were even looking and gave a fuck as we literally never see them mention it or give a fuck?

So I went back and watched the episode where Fumitan was kill again. Based on what they're saying, they didn't let Kudelia live because the second shot wasn't worth it, or would give them away. They left because what they wished to accomplish was already happening, and that was to escalate the riots. The workers were already turning violent, and they didn't need a dead figurehead to get them riled up. In fact, if they had killed Kudelia, then that might have provoked people to respond even more extremely, further destabilizing the Dorts and making it harder to escape. Plus, Fumitan didn't die right away after being shot, she stayed on top of Kudelia to obscure the shooter's vision of his target so he wouldn't know whether or not he had actually hit his mark or if the bullet stopped at Fumitan.

No they didn't, the order about killing her was pretty clear and she could and in fact did reverse the whole situation. If they just wanted riots they didn't even need to be there, that happened on it's own

There was a space battle outside and the streets were full of fighting, nothing was going to make it harder or easier

Pretty sure a good amount of her body was poking out, he should have easily have been able to hit

>>13905441
The problem is that a sniper bullet isn't going to be stopped by a body. It should have went through Fumitan and hit Kudelia anyway.

>>13905466
[ballistic physics calculations requested]

The bullet can just as easily get lodged in or even deflected all kinds of ways due to the physics of entering a fleshy body with bony bits. I'm going to call you out on this one.

Looking at the scene he does have body he can hit. He could also take a second for her to fall but they have their dumb there is no time rule

Certain bullets wouldn't go through but he has no reason to use one that wouldn't, especially when they knew this would be a crowded events so may need to shoot through someone. Even then ones that don't are for dear and stuff, I'm not 100% of people but Fumi is likely thin enough it could do anyway

>>13905448
Are Merry-bit and Atra related? Seems highly plausible.

>>13905383
>only interested to see if Atra ends up with Mika or Kudelia
It'll be all three or a non-ending for that as well.

>>13905441
Why even take one shot if what you are looking for has been achieved? If killing Kudelia would now cause problems then why even shoot at all?

It wasn't like they need confirmation the riot has begun, they saw it begin.

>>13905466
Yeah that's bullshit m8, bullets aren't supposed to overpenetrate.

>>13905456
>No they didn't, the order about killing her was pretty clear and she could and in fact did reverse the whole situation. If they just wanted riots they didn't even need to be there, that happened on it's own
I don't think anyone expected her to be capable of that, or to have the balls to do something like broadcasting her message to the world. It's been clear throughout the series that people (especially her sponsor) have been underestimating her because she had been pretty easy to manipulate up until Fumitan had died, which was a catalyst for her to finally change and be brave (even though she's been making "decisions" throughout the whole series lol)
>There was a space battle outside and the streets were full of fighting, nothing was going to make it harder or easier
The riots escalating (at least to the point of shutting down the ports) and the space battle didn't occur until the following episode. I'm sure the assassins made it out by then
>Pretty sure a good amount of her body was poking out, he should have easily have been able to hit
Pumping multiple rounds into her legs/torso probably wasn't the best plan for the situation. Besides, it's clear they got the order to stand down at that point, whether or not it was a bad call from their superior.
Also >>13905491 was exactly what I was thinking. I don't know why they wouldn't use a higher caliber round. Maybe they wanted to match the ballistics of the rifles Gjallahorn's grunts were using, (never mind bullet trajectory I guess)? Maybe a crater where her pretty face used to be or a missing torso wouldn't really make for a martyred Maiden of the Revolution?

>>13905536
They didn't get the order to stand down until after they fired the first round. They weren't trying to start the riot, but escalate them in the other Dorts, which we didn't get confirmation of until after the hit got called off.

>>13905542
>I don't think anyone expected her to be capable of that
She is their idol and is being put in contact with earth leaders, you could see that coming if you weren't a comical fat old bad guy. It also doesn't change that the order on killing her was very direct and now letting her go will cause some change in the future which is now not part of the original plan.

>I'm sure the assassins made it out by then
Both those events were starting up around that time, it wasn't like there was a day break. If it took that long to organise all that then killing Kudelia really wasn't going to change things a great deal, it was going as fast as possible anyway and they were using her a symbol

>Pumping multiple rounds into her legs/torso
In her torso it could easily kill her

>Besides, it's clear they got the order to stand down at that point
Plot convenience and a pretty bad one. If all they wanted was a riot they had no need to be there and just killed one of their own creating an unstable element

>>13905546
>They weren't trying to start the riot, but escalate them
Why would they even take a shot then as they could see how the situation was going? No one on Mars had a better view of the situation and how it was going than those two

The vast majority of what she had been able to accomplish up until this point had been under the guidance of her sponsor. To the people she was their idol and savior, but to the people pulling the strings she was an immature, sheltered figure with very little real world experience. Nobliss figured she wouldn't act out on her own and take initiative and boy was he wrong.

At that point the only riots that were taking place were in that particular section of the colonies (forgot the exact name). The original plan was to kill Kudelia in order to rally the other Dorts into rioting, but once it was clear that was already happening, Nobliss (i'm assuming) called off the hit, probably because either seeing their idol dead might demoralize them at this point, Nobliss realized keeping her alive would be more beneficial so he could use her, or (most far-fetched) the riots would have escalated to the point where his forces in the shadows couldn't pull the strings anymore.

Not denying it's all too convenient, but how else would they progress the plot at this point? Tekkaden's merry band of orphans has dicked around all these adventures so far through sheer luck and circumstance alone. It wouldn't be too entertaining or make for good storytelling if they got their shit pushed in.

>>13905635
Gonna assume you meant Dort. What they saw was a riot on one colony that was quickly getting put down. What they needed was for every colony to be up in arms, which they originally planned to do by making the death of Kudelia a catalyst, so that people who wanted reform but didn't really wanna resort to violence would be pushed to do so. They got the order to stand down because that had been accomplished, so no need to kill off one of their most valuable assets for something that happened on it's own.

>>13905689
the director said atra would stay "innocent" throughout the series so shes not getting the dick.
really the director meant she would be the least affected by the conflicts in the show to make the other characters changes more apparent.

>>13905701
>Nobliss figured she wouldn't act out on her own and take initiative and boy was he wrong.
It was a dumb plan however you see it. His plan was her to be dead and thus not do anything after. Even if she was just an idiot with no skill her still being alive and continuing her mission would have some knock on effect, even if it is just humiliating Mars as that could make any more business extremely difficult. It's like JarJar at the end of Revenge of the Sith, he indirectly creates the empire by proposing the idea. You don't leave idiots in positions of power especially when you just lost what was controlling them.

>At that point the only riots that were taking place were in that particular section of the colonies
Then calling off the order as the riots had spread enough makes no sense. If you are saying it wasn't till later that the riots spread them the order to stop coming so early doesn't work. Whats more the assassins should have been the first to recognise this. Also how was he even getting updates that quick? They can't get a picture of her to use to identify Kudelia but he can stream their tv?
>probably because either seeing their idol dead might demoralize them at this point
A martyr would not do that, I'm pretty sure we saw them straight up say loads of us died and that got them going

>but how else would they progress the plot at this point?
Before they take the shot a robot punches the building or falls on it like that one bit in F91, then have a big robot fight but they also have kudelia in their hand so have to be careful. Just have the assassination completely fail instead of awkwardly cancelled

They got off at the oceanic colony thing? No idea what they will do now, can they even get another job with the regulator whatever still around? Are they around?

Do they even have power there now? Cause apparently a peace deal was done with the earth and I didn't see any gjallarhorn guys there.

Not denying it was a dumb plan. Again, Nobliss figured the rich sheltered idealistic pretty girl wouldn't have the gumption to actually do anything on her own like that. Plus it was mainly luck that the news crew decided to pursue them rather than save their own hide and just go along with the state-sponsored message they were paid to broadcast.

I have absolutely no idea what you're trying to say in response to my second point, so i'm not really sure how to respond there...

Kudelia was a figure of hope. Her beliefs and message (intentionally or not) resonated with the workers at Dort and gave them the courage to rise up and demand more rights. While her death could have inspired them to fight harder, the revolution had just begun, and losing a leader that soon could have just as easily demoralized the whole movement

I totally agree with the whole robot punching a building thing. I so badly have wanted to see a mobile suit fight in the colonies, or just on the ground in general ever since Barbatos first fought at the beginning of the show. At least the preview for ep. 21 looks like that'll happen.

>losing a leader that soon could have just as easily demoralized
Well that generally isn't how stuff goes and isn't like she was ever a real leader, just a symbol which she could continue as dead

So what happened to maruba

>>13905820
Oh god could you imagine how much they would have been freaking out during Eugene's fuckery against Earth's space border patrol or whatever Miss Eyebrows and her Aryan fucktoys were called?

>>13905864
>Gjallhorn has absolute power in space
If what we have seen is called absolute power I'd hate to see no power at all, oh wait that is Kudelia.

>>13905825
What I don't get is how though. The workers just had many of its members slaughtered by Gjallarhorn and probably would've been deemed a terrorist organization. Even if Gjallarhorn did leave the Dort colonies, the Dort government and the workers couldn't have possibly gotten together peacefully so quickly. If anything, it would have most likely escalated tensions.

>>13905880
It's because Kudelia is sugoi.

Really it should have been a stalemate. Both could claim the others had done stuff like blowing up that building. Gjallarhorn can use stuff like they contacted the mafia for weapons and the earth block but the PR is behind Dort.

I would have been fine with it just being they are now in heated talks, Kudelia really didn't do much to help there still but it seems more realistic. Maybe have her being called to talk there after her other meetings

The assassins only knew what was going down on the colony they were on (plus whatever intel they were being fed which probably wasn't much), Nobliss (is he even on Mars?) has access to an entire network of information and people working within both the workers and Gjallahorn to keep him updated.

With them following Kudelia would had been very handy and advantageous for Tekkadan in future episodes.

>>13905930
>The assassins only knew what was going down on the colony they were on
They are there right now so could get info quiker, one has a computer and can look what is happening. The old guy is on Mars and thus would get any information much later just by how far it needs to travel (really it should be days). Seeing as they are in with him they are likely getting the same updates as their mission is all about making things go boom there

If the riots were starting to grow everywhere at that point then worrying about escaping cause things get more out of hand (which is what they claimed) makes no sense. Things were already at that level so leaving her just creates a lose end that could cause trouble and did

How can people have this much difficulty with a show that takes time to spell everything out to the viewer like they're the goddamn moron they are?

They became underage slave labor at some point. How did CGS find any of these kids? Apparently that doesn't matter.

He was CGS's resident mechanic. Now he's Tekkadan's resident mechanic.

>all the girls married to not!Fellini and the one girl not married to him
They're women. They're married to that guy except the one who isn't. How did he meet any of them? Shut the fuck up, that's how.

Those are some great backstories.

>>13904690

>>13906021
There is some gay though

>>13905959
Ok, let's use an example to simplify this. Say you're at a convention of some sort, and it's fucking huge and crowded as hell. You're at one end of the venue, and some shit is happening at the other end, while shit is happening at your end. Now imagine someone else (let's say me) is in another location, removed from the happenings of it all, and I have multiple people on site, yourself included, updating me regularly on what's going down. Unless you have access to the same contacts I do (spoilers: you don't), then your scope of awareness is going to be limited to what's around you, and what little info I (choose) to provide you. You wouldn't know about the dick that got sucked on the other end of the hotel (lets assume for scale purposes it's a pretty big hotel idk) because of both the dick being sucked on your end of the hotel and the inability to access that information on your own.

In this situation, you are the sniper team, I am Nobliss, and the dicks being sucked are the riots. They didn't realize things had escalated that far until they were informed. The original plan was to kill Kudelia, and leave before things escalated, key word BEFORE. I have no idea about the speed at which info on the internet travels in this universe, all I know is that Nobliss and his men don't have to worry about the censors on media and the internet Gjallahorn has put up.

>>13906065
Not the same guy, but the problem is that Nobliss is all the way on Mars, so even at light speed, communication would have a delay (I think it's a few minutes, but still).

Yamagi shows how gay he is for Shino in most of his scenes.
Takaki hasn't done anything particularly gay, but he's a cute.

>>13906065
That comparison is pretty pointless as these things are not equivalent and not taking into account certain things. If they have that little computer they have access to general information on what is happening at other colonies. Having the info of supposed spies sent to Mars (takes a long as time) and then a message back makes way less sense than sending it to a colony over. This inability of information is a fabrication you have made and at best would be a plot convenience.

And again, even if things had escalated a lot, shooting her ties up a loose end and and won't ruin the situation as she has always been a figure head so would continue to be that. Things were generally going at an expected pace so that couldn't really be quickened (seem like a few hours) so at worst she just keep the traction going by being killed.

>They didn't realize things had escalated that far until they were informed.
But lets examine what actually happens
>Protest
>riot in square starts
>all killed
Sniper event
>people are meeting up and starting to do other stuff
This is what we actually see happen, now we can assume that some unrest was happening but we saw it took time to become organised and for them to start breaking in to get MS. So basically it had not escalated to a crazy level at that point, at best they could assume motion was set in place to at which point killing her would make sense to keep traction going. If all they thought was needed was a shoot out at the square they would never need to kill her and if doing so was apparently a bad idea they would have waited for confirmation to shoot.

>>13906081
This. To get a message there and back so quick it must of been just when riots started meaning the scale could not of been crazy large. This makes it seem like they expected nothing

If the were that quick though then saying we won't be able to leave is silly as it is already too big, everything is out of control so fuck it shoot her

>>13906032
>All these bros dying

>>13906134
Fair point. I do agree that this part of the show was poorly written and left way too much up to the viewer to interpret with headcanon. As far as I can tell, the plan was:
>Deliver weapons to one colony (presumably the one with the heaviest Gjallahorn presence)
>Begin protest/riot in front of gov't building
>Shootout occurs, workers get btfo by Gjallahorn
>Kudelia, our brave Maiden of the Revolution was to be found amongst the poor innocent workers who were brutally massacred by their oppressors, with help from the sniper team if needed
>The media team onsite was to make sure this was broadcasted to all the Dorts, enraging the other workers throughout the colonies
>Other colonies rise up, take MS from docks w/ no ammo and get slaughtered too
What really happened:
>Protesters get btfo by Gjallahorn at one colony as planned, but Kudelia lives
>While this is happening, other colonies are already preparing to riot as well without the incentive of their comrades getting massacred
>Sniper team gets contacted as quick as possible to let them know to get out of there, the plan has been set in motion much sooner than expected
>Message received too late, or was sent too late. They already took a shot at Kudelia as planned, but didn't stick around to finish the job once they got their orders
Again, hella speculation on my part. In no way defending or justifying this rushjob of a story arc

>A Mobile Worker does a sick Initial D-esque powerslide in front of Kudelia to block the shot
>As this happens, a Mobile Suit (let's say the Gusion Rebake bc it's my favorite so far) slide tackles into the building, taking out the sniper team through sheer overkill

I know it sounds stupid, but I really wanted there to be a big battle on Dort itself. Granted, the fight in space above the colony was great, but I just reeeeally love fights on the ground, especially after that one at the beginning of the show. All we got was the workers continually getting BTFO

I didn't say it was conclusive, I said it strongly hints towards it. Which, combined with all the other scenes with him acting all concerned for Shino, it does. Especially given the level of fujo-pandering the show seemed to be going for in its early episodes.

>Especially given the level of fujo-pandering the show seemed to be going for in its early episodes.
Aside from people that like cold blooded murder and dickish behavior I have yet to see any pandering.

>>13906721
Except it isn't just that concern or care. There is also the jealousy shown in that scene. Combine them, and you get hints at a one-sided love.
If anything this character would be the most blatant form of pandering in the show. Because, while not conclusive, it does provide a sort of fanservice for people who are into that sort of thing.

The problem with the Vaj system is that it modifies the brain while still in development. They stated this right from the beginning. It's not a matter of cost, its the fact that he's too damn OLD.

Why was this allowed?

guys, i just thought of something... could kudelia be a self insert of okada?

I know I say this a lot, but there's no way that this isn't having a second season, right?

Can you imagine if every riot and injustice in the world was so easily resolved once a SUGOI girl like Kudelia popped on TV and said to shoot her?

>>13907764
How can it? There's nothing left in the story to continue upon. Everything is based around Kudelia getting to Earth, from episode 1. She'll get there, make a speech, and we'll get exposition about how the entire solar system was freed from Gjallerhorn and Earth's influence. The end.

I hope. I really, really hope.

>>13904639
Yeah but therein lies the problem, the political stuff falls through the cracks because they talk about it so rarely, and when they do it's with broad statements that don't flesh out the actual political actors and state interests. And like you said, instead of having old man giving the info dump, it needs to be the blondies so that we can establish their political acumen. As it stands they just look like lemmings following wherever the scheming old men lead them. Which pretty much everyone in the show looks like that. Everyone is mis-written so that their characters are out of whack.

Mikazuki is the driving forcebehind Orga, but lately all he's done is alternately blow stuff up or goof around with girls on the ship. He needed to be around when Biscuit told orga to back off. He's orga's reminder to constantly move forward.

Biscuit is supposed to be the unseen brains of the operation. He supports Orga's rash decisions but makes them work out. We never see that. We see orga make a decision and then biscuit gives a "here we go again" look or an interrupted objection so we don't really get the sense that biscuit does ANYTHING and it makes me wonder why we should care that he wants out.

I'm not even sure what Merribit is supposed to be other than vague sexual tension mother figure for Orga. Most of her dialogue is really something that would be better used if another character said it, whether it's biscuit or Kudelia. Her presence seems to be a bit of cast bloat and characters (including her) are having a hard enough time of getting meaningful screen time as it is. I don't need robot fights every episode, but if you wan to make drama and dialogue the centerpiece, you at least have to have competently written characters.

>>13907796
>She'll get there, make a speech, and we'll get exposition about how the entire solar system was freed from Gjallerhorn and Earth's influence. The end.

This seems way more plausible than before thanks to last episode showing how Kudelia's speech brought the agreement Trade Unions were fighting for.

>>13907796
Well for one, we haven't met any of Gjallerhorn's real power players yet. Ein is just now going to get the A-V treatment. Chocolate boy and his purple friend haven't done anything, and Tekkadan just had its first (and a very minor) internal conflict. All this seems like it's shaping up to the be the end of the first act of a story, not the end of the story.

Ein wasn't aware of Cranks moral dilemma over killing all the children. He even believes that Crank tried to help the children, who then killed him when he lowered his guard. He was shouting about it to Shino, remember?

>>13905188
Actually the not burning up is plausible if you remember that the "laser weaponry" in Gundam is mostly a heat based weapon, which is why their counterpart is the heat hawk. Thanks to the ABC that all mechs in the IBO universe have it is rather plausible for them to just dive through the goddamn atmosphere, assuming that their limbs wouldn't fly off. But this is clearly more thought into the plot than the director gave it, so I'm gonna stop now.

>>13908221
Surely if they can withstand that heat and whatever else factors are going on then no blow could harm them. I'd buy it more if it was a special suit but it's just a Graze with shoulder pads

>>13906701
Listen to the episode preview that's just Yamagi talking about huffing the scent of sweat from Shino's cockpit, then come back and tell me the little shit doesn't want to become Shino's wife.

>>13908225
It's anti-heat coating, not anti-force coating. That's why they all run around with giant slabs of metal for weapons. Seriously, how much metal do you think goes into a Graze's tomahawk? Enough for a building's reinforcing? For 3 buildings?

That would be why I wrote "assuming that their limbs wouldn't fly off" in my post. Presumably that's also why those parts fell off the Graze that Barbatos rode down, but who knows. We can theorize all we want, but that's putting more effort in than the producers did.

>>13906756
Even if they just skip that, surely it would take weeks, months if not a year to get used to such a system never mind become effective with it. Put that on top of rehabilitation from being made a robot Ein really shoudn't be much use

Pretty sure you'd find quite a bit of subtstance in the densest object in known universe.

When was the last time Ogra and Mika interacted? I feel like they haven't appeared on screen together in months.

I guess now that we know Unicorn TV will be running for 2 cours, it means no S2 for IBO.

>>13908884
Around the time Kudelia made that one speech? I think they had a line of dialogue

The proper question is when did they have meaningful interaction, not just giving an order but a personal or human interaction. The last one I can remember is they sort of teased Guts that one time about how he went on about being worthless, and before that it would have been when Orga was drunk.

Obari can't pull shit off by himself. He needs a team to work with that are passionate enough they can do it even in his absence. They got that with GBF - he contributed to certain eps, but that general style continued in others and completely wore off in still others.

If you get a team that just takes his boards like that and throws them on the screen stale (and a lot of the other battles HAVE been stale as fuck jump cuts and fuzzy globs), well then.

Merribit has the important job of keeping Orga on solid ground, like an adult should. Neither Naze nor Black Mechanic (Jesus, why do I keep forgetting his name?) do a good job at that.
Naze sees to much of himself in Orga to act and the other guy is just too zen to tell him shit straight.
Furthermore, why shouldn't Orga have a love interest? There are few people at Tekkadan who need to get laid more urgently than he does.

And the entire chain of events you described happened in 15 minutes. There was no "later" and no consequence or display of his trustworthiness. If you thought that exchange was good in terms of dialog or pacing, you're fucking stupid.

The point is that the guy is a swindler. So it comes as no big surprise that the influence of the Oceanien Federation didn't amount to shit when it came to keeping Gjallarhorn out.
In fact it was a given.
You're acting like this somehow broke the show's internal consistency, when all it really did was affirm that the guy was full of shit.

By the way, did you want another episode or three of downtime or something? Because that's what would have happened if his words had been truthful.

Yes, that didn't happen. He said "Come talk to me" and then their conversation happened.

Yes it is. You're pretending "This technically happened to regardless of how poorly implemented it was, it's ok." (despite the thing you're claiming not happening) so your entire premise is wrong.

>The point is that the guy is a swindler.
Yeah, and how was that shown? By him being a scumbag right off that bat? He never acted nice and trustworthy for him to have to reveal himself as a scumbag in the first place.

>You're acting like this somehow broke the show's internal consistency
The only consistency the show has is horrible writing, so I guess it was consistent on that front.

>did you want another episode or three of downtime or something?
If they paced the rest of the show better, an episode or two of downtime after reaching Earth wouldn't be bad. Or they could have had them interact with him via video link before this so the reveal wasn't in the same fucking conversation as him telling them he can cover them.
