You're watching the wrong franchise if you're asking the question. Gundam and masked characters are like chips and dips.

>>14820166
>00 S1 was essentially perfect.
It was edgy trash so I guess you must have been 12 when you watched it if you thought it was "perfect".

>>14820168

There was nothing edgy about 00 you faggot. In fact it was less edgy than Gundam Wing. 00 was basically Gundam Wing done right.

Literally the edgiest shit in 00 was the stuff with Hal/Al and Soma and they're Cyber Newtypes which would make 90% of Gundam just as edgy.

>>14820168
>Edgy
>Muh Gundam named after Demons
>Only used melee weapons like katana and mace.

IBO is literally an edgy original Gundam fanfic made by a 13 year-old Linkin Park fan.

>>14820122

>>14820174
IBO being edgy doesn't mean 00 wasn't edgy.

>Muh emotionless child soldier with two chick want to get in his pant.
>Only used melee weapons like katana

2/3 apply to both

>>14820175
Because G-Reco.

>>14820174
Pretty sure more people would want to fuck Mika if he talked more. Not since he's a compelling character, but since his harem gravity is that strong. Could be worse, he could be Sekai.

I feel it's between Gali Gali, Ein and McGillis PA. They're giving us a lot of reason to suspect Gali, especially now we know masked man is apparently working against McGillis. But if it's the PA that could be a fun subversion. A masked man who is playing a role on someone else's orders.

>>14820181
Setsuna is hardly emotionless like Mika, though. And his autism for Gundam is much more fun to watch than Mika.

Not trying to say one was better than the other, not really a fan of either of them, but not because they were edgy.

I've watched 00 a while ago and I barely can remember anything that happened in it. I don't understand the praise for it, it's not marginally better than IBO or anything.

It looks better than IBO

>>14820042

Sekai is thick headed but a nice guy to be around. Mika is a fucking psycopath. There is literally nothing compelling about Mika. He's the absolute worst Gundam main character ever created. Worse than Heero.

So, when can we expect Hush vs. Mika in a battle of the Gundams?

It's clear that they're setting up a rivalry with Hush seeing Mikazuki as an obstacle to overcome, with Mika being Mika and not caring in the slightest.

Hush intends to pilot a mobile suit no matter what, and since he's "too old" for the Alayabanana surgery, he'll have to settle for doing so the boring, normal way.

The "Too Old" argument is kind of bullshit to me, since Ein was implied to have been given a more extensive version of the surgery during the process of becoming the Graze Ein. Chances are, Hush will either go the SUPER PILOTO route and be on par with Mikazuki despite the lack of the nanomachines, or he risks the surgery anyway and succeeds because MUH WILLPOWER/plot armor.

>>14820276
>The "Too Old" argument is kind of bullshit to me, since Ein was implied to have been given a more extensive version of the surgery during the process of becoming the Graze Ein.

The two situations are not even comparable you fucking idiot

>>14820276
Or, because this is IBO, he never learns to pilot an MS and makes up with Mika halfway through the show.

>>14820285
While Ein was basically mutilated from the waist down, he was still given the AV surgery and then some, and there was no mention of his age being a mitigating factor in the successful application of the AV's nanomachines.

>>14820182
The more Mika talks and acts the more I am baffled by any character giving a shit about him.

>>14820296
I wonder whose decision it was to have the main character be a non-entity

>>14820298
>I don't watch the show: the post

>>14820293
And he was kept alive in a fucking tank and inseparable from the machine. Not comparable.

>>14820302
Also ghallahorn most definitely has better nanomachines surgery tech than a bunch of low pay martian mercs.

>>14820302
Nah it's hyperbole: the post. He's important to the plot, yeah, but his personality is insanely bland and he tends to get half a dozen lines an episode.

It'd be nice if the show actually focused on Mika and Orga pushing eachother like it was supposed to.

Brother drama as early as episode 2. As expected of IBO.

>>14820311
This time they're not blood-related

A fresh take on the concept

>one shot bananza
>contrived coincidences to relate new characters to already established ones

They haven't learned anything, have they?

>>14820311
And the flat chested girl already has the relationship Ein had with Gali with Rasta guy.

>>14820302
Look, at any rate, I probably should have been clearer on this, but there being an age limit as a factor wasn't exactly present; it was touched upon in that the older you were, the more dangerous it was to have the AV surgery, but there was never any arbitrary cutoff date, tech gap notwithstanding.

The old guy was saying "You're seventeen? Then the surgery won't work.", which I'm calling bullshit on. Ein was older, and while he had tons of other shit done to him, the AV system was installed into his body, and he was considerably older than anyone in Tekkadan.

As >>14820306 pointed out, Gjallarhorn most likely had better nanomachine tech or whatever, so some "age limit" wasn't a factor with installing the AV system into Ein, along with the rest of his life support tank/cockpit block.

I'll concede that it's most likely a situation dependant on the kind of technology Tekkadan has access to, and while Tekkadan is certainly prospering, Orga is implied to have a firm anti-AV stance for new recruits, so he would likely not want to invest in better AV installation tech.

So keeping that in mind, between Hush getting the AV surgery despite all the risks and surviving because plot armor, or Hush learning to pilot a MS despite lacking the AV System because plot armor, the latter is more likely than the former.

After all, Naze's girls don't have the AV System, and they seem as though they can still pilot circles around Tekkadan's pilots, sans Mikazuki because of his CONTRACTO with Barbatos giving him even more plot armor.

>>14820320
Not true.

At least Orga had the decency of shooing Kudelia for the time being.

>>14820293
They perfome surgery differently.

>>14820314
>A fresh take on the concept

>>14820254
>Worse than Heero
I'd have to disagree. Mika is so strongly dependent on Orga that you almost have to look at the pair of them as a single character. He may be half a character, but that's still more than Heero's complete lack of character.
All Heero has is that "how many times must I kill that girl and her dog?" and didn't even get that until EW.
Mikazuki showed more empathy and humanity in the flashback where he tried to buy food for Atra than Heero did in the whole series and film. Not to mention his concern about the farm, his obvious attachment to Cookie and Cracker and his eating the meal that Kudelia messed up so she'd be less awkward about helping out.

>>14820042
Fuck you. I like both equally.

>>14820343
>I'd have to disagree. Mika is so strongly dependent on Orga that you almost have to look at the pair of them as a single character.
That would work if they had more than about 3 scenes that amounted to more than Mika go do the thing

Most of the stuff like who's controlling who etc stuff is just fanwank

>>14820276
>Ein was implied to have been given a more extensive version of the surgery during the process of becoming the Graze Ein

You could argue that if he had just got the "normal" surgery, he'd be paralyzed too, and it only worked because they gave him the "complete" one

>>14820276
>Hush intends to pilot a mobile suit no matter what, and since he's "too old" for the Alayabanana surgery, he'll have to settle for doing so the boring, normal way.
He'll still get a gundam.

>>14820137
He designed the tekkadan logo and other insignia as well as some ships and stuff and he's said he's been doing stuff other that mech design. I don't think it's too much of a stretch to believe he designed that mask. I mean we sadly saw what happens when the actual character designers attempted to come up with a mask

>2 episodes in
>3min and 30 s of mobile suit fights
>not even 2 minutes of MS action per episode

To be honest last week I was expecting Mikazuki to show up and end the battle in an instant. Hell his arrival took longer than his actual fight, which was boring. Compared to last season the first two episodes were pretty similar in structure and pacing, but at least the fight with the Grazes in episode 2 was pretty good and longer than 2 minutes.
I have the slight feeling we will only see MS fights every 2 to 3 episodes and that we will see more MS standing in hangars than ones in motion.

>tl;dr: you are a fool for thinking IBO would change

>>14820371
They even brought in Crank v2 and female ein.

>>14820371
worst toy ad ever

>>14820325
>>14820311


IT WILL BE THE SAME AS SEASON 1 GUYS! THE CAKE IS A LIE!!!

I hate that they are using MS battles as cliffhangers, only to end the battles 1 minute in to the next episode. 3 minutes of action every couple of episodes after 40 min of character drama is really tiresome. Just look at the first season of 00 which had a shitton of fights and character development that actually worked

>>14820376
They are really lucky the MS look so good and the kits are high quality otherwise, cause teh show is not helping

>>14820376
Why you need a toy ad when you have a coold designed robots?

The show isn't needed anyway.

>>14820380
maybe they're counting on selling kits just due to their design and are using screentime to instead pander to fujos so they can sell them more merch.

>>14820385
Maybe, I'm just glad ippei's design are doing well which should mean he gets more work

>>14820042

IBO isn't big with fujos though. Remember, its called too hard for fojoshi, too homo for gunota in Japan.

>>14820385
The show was all about the shirtless orphans since its inception, it's why they hired Nagai/Okada in the first place.

This is good because most likely, the next Gundam series is going to be very action heavy.

Anon, in this day and age of operators operating operational, mercenaries exist. And for a person on the front line it tends to be a positive trait for them to distance them from them people they kill/trying to kill them to ensure they stay efficient. Being a good and loyal soldier doesn't make them a psychopath or even a sociopath, it means they have a goal to work towards and sometimes eliminating hostile without remorse is the most effective way of achieving those results.

You just need to look at how few scenes have involved Mika acting toward anything at all without instruction from Orga. I'm not even getting into the who's-controlling-who fanwank, just stating that nearly all plot-relevant actions taken by Mikazuki were the direct result of Orga saying "Mika, go do the thing." You can't really describe Mikazuki's role in the plot without including Orga's.
But that wasn't even my point. My point was that even the few non-Orga actions Mika has taken so far amount to more character development than Heero got in 50 episodes and a movie.

>>14820403
They probably thought fujos don't care about fight scenes, might as well fill the episodes with something else.

Everybody jobs to Tekkedan.

Feels like hardly anything happened in this episode. Though I guess it's nice that they're already working on fleshing out some of the new characters. Glad they showed someone who failed the surgery, since they kept alluding to how dangerous it was in S1 without actually showing it.
Looks like next episode is going to have some action too. Please don't be a slideshow.

He's interesting but he's bound to fail spectacularly.

His enmity isn't even justified. The men who made his friend take the surgery that fucked him up in the first place are long dead and his frustration with Mika is simply circumstantial rather than anything on a deeper level to anyone else other than Hush.

Best part of this whole thing is Hush will more than likely end up with the Flauros Gundam.

>>14820066
Nope, not in the listing. What is the masked guy's name anyway?

Yeah, the show still has not sold to me why people care about him beyond his piloting skills. Just look at his "conversation" with Kudelia this episode where he basically grunts his way through it and then they have Atra run up and give them all friendship bracelets. Really?
I don't mind an antisocial mc with basically no interpersonal skills but don't try to sell me that he also manages to endear multiple characters to him in some special ways(Orga, Kudelia and Atra) for vague reasons. Yeah they grew up together but then why is Atra's relationship to Orga basically non-existent? I don't see her giving him friendship bracelets.

You're a fucking retard. The argument wasn't "they only use melee weapons" it was "they only use substance weapons". Because there's both melee and ranged weapons in both substance and beam. Or did we forget about beam sabers so soon?

The new ending paints a different picture in that regard. since it portrays them all as childhood friends.
But besides that fluff, in the show itself I don't get much justification for these people caring for Mika as much as they do so the relationships feel shallow from that perspective to me.

You know for sure it's just going to end with him sucking Mika's dick like everyone else in the cast.

>all those Takaki death flags this episode
man he already survived s1 death flags, I don't think he can do another.

>>14820864
I figured there was a reason they put him in the OP so prominently - they have that same home scene from this ep there, and then him standing on a machine as a nearby Rodi is getting shot down.

Feels like they're maybe setting up to swap between the Mars and Earth branches as separate sections of the story. The main guys on Mars fighting these pirates, and then the Earth guys dealing with their own shit.

>>14820864
>I don't think he can do another.
Maybe if they kill his sister as part of collateral damage or raped

>>14820876
Maybe they'll do the mars->earth trip again, this time to go help the Earth branch from getting rekt by ghallajorn/whatever.

>>14820876
>they're maybe setting up to swap between the Mars and Earth branches as separate sections of the story.
that'd be interesting actually. the way they did it this episode makes me hopeful. cause that means no point in wasting episodes on traveling to mars and back like in s1

since it's standing on Tekkadan's side, I guess it is a captured Graze. They fought so many Grazes that it made me wonder, why they didn't capture more or used them for spare parts

>>14820927
I guess earth branch is more of symbolic representation of Tekkadan rather than a full second branch. You also have to consider that Tekkadan is still in the beginning of it's career. They are just introducing their first own MS and gathering new recruits.

>>14820276
>The "Too Old" argument is kind of bullshit to me, since Ein was implied to have been given a more extensive version of the surgery during the process of becoming the Graze Ein. Chances are, Hush will either go the SUPER PILOTO route and be on par with Mikazuki despite the lack of the nanomachines, or he risks the surgery anyway and succeeds because MUH WILLPOWER/plot armor.
More likely; an avenue opens up due to somebody with access to more refined AV systems finding out about his desires and capitalizing on that to turn him to his plans. Gets the surgery, probably has other downsides to it like taking his legs off or something, some sort of cost associated with it, maybe a software shock-collar. Ends up fighting Mika, either breaks control or gets killed tragically.

Expect this to take at minimum half the season to develop. If we don't hear anything from this plothook within an episode we won't see anything of it for a long time.

true but its clear there is going to be tensions there. that one account dude made it pretty obvious he doesn't care about the "orga" vision everyone on Mars follows so blindly, I'd say its safe to say there are more.

if someone can get this to Shouganai Scans maybe he will scanlate it for you guys

BTW the story ended(in HJ, next month in GA) with Argee defeating Rosario but sparing him, only for Nanao to stab the Vual's cockpit and kill Rosario. Then Volco recovered about 82% of the Astaroth Origin's armor only to Nanao escape with the repaired Astaroth. Liarina became the head of Tantotempo with Argee as her bodyguard.

The question is what Argee will pilot in the 2nd season, Vual with the old patch-up Astaroth armor?

The nanomachine method is subject to variance, of which one factor is how early you pump someone full of the shit. Plus he's OLD and a second generation Tekkadan member so the plot would have to really bend over backwards to permit getting the nanomachine treatment.

Ein's setup was a different, arguably more barbaric man machine interface requiring entire limbs be lopped off. It's also a complete forfeiture of any desire to return to a normal life outside the suit, because you're pretty much a torso in a jar with the direct connection method.

>>14821160

For fuck's sake, is Mika the only guy capable of killing people in this show?

>>14821188
it was damn obvious he was alive.

>>14821188
Just wait, that old guy, Ein, and Carta will all be alive.

I can't help but think that all the worst parts of this show would disappear if they just cut out Mika and Barbatos.

>>14821179

Ein also had access to earth medical tech, while the tekkadan members were getting backwaters chopdoc treatments.

Heck, earth has a full cyborg now apparently.

If they just cut the 'Mobile Suit Gundam' from the title, people wouldn't bitch so much and actually watch the show unprejudiced

I like Mika, he just kills everything way too far and struggles zero. He can only quickly roll over everyone so many times before it gets boring.

>>14821347

He's made for angsty teens to self insert as for that power fantasy.

>>14821373
Mika does it incredibly fast, two minutes tops and he is done. Setsuna didn't steamroll fuckers for this long, this is 27 episodes in and there is still no opponent that can hope to challenge Mika in combat. Mika steamrolls sheer numbers, ace pilots, and flagships all by himself in a couple of minutes each time. Since Mika doesn't give a fuck about human life either, his steamrolling never breaks for even a minute.

>>14821360
>I like Mika, he just kills everything way too far and struggles zero.
So he's the anti-thesis to the entire franchise

Yeah. At least Amura felt bad about steamrolling people.

Amuro also had worthy adversaries, something IBO has been lacking.

>>14821264
bump

>>14821399
That is what IBO lacks, worthy adversaries that make battle interesting and challenge Mika. Crank was a moralfag, then there was a fucking pirate, and than Carta was a complete and utter joke with blond fuckboys, and then Ein failed at life on every level. We are back at pirates again.

>>14821410
Not only will he fight Mecha Gali but he will also fight Choco man in a final showdown

>We are back at pirates again.
those were pirates? they looked too military-ish

Choco man is just going to highfive Mika while fucking Gali's sister while Mecha Gali proves robots can cry.

>>14821423
Yeah, they were pirates.

>>14821385
the staple of Gundam has been hotblooded/proficient pilots with some sort of burden. Mika is beyond proficient and doesn't give a fuck. He is basically a sociopath product of being a murdering child. Orga just takes advantage of that. He actually points who has to be murdered and the kid does it. I have to say it's the least relatable main character on any Gundam series I have ever watched, but because of this I like him and I really like seeing him steamroll enemies and make them crap themselves before turning them into a red blood splat inside a cockpit.

Setsuna kind of has a similar background, being a war kid and having murdered people and behaving like a robot, but Setsuna at least is a complete character being a great pilot and having motivation, where in IBO this is splitted into two, Orga is the drive and Mika is actually the one doing the piloting.

>>14821410
To be fair, it is not that the adversaries aren't a challenge. It is that the narrative is not willing to let them be a challenge. Like, shit, Ein's complete inability to kill important characters was mind-boggling.

Fucking Carta ended up being the only one to kill a named good guy and that was Biscuit.

>>14821450
>Ein's complete inability to kill important characters was mind-boggling.
That has more to do with the storyboarders being asleep or inept, they genuinely should have been dead.

>>14821456
And by they I mean the characters in the story, not the people on staff making the story in real life, I just want to make that clear because I just caught that.

>>14821449
In that I agree, it is a powerfantasy but he isn't relatable at all. He isn't even interesting in fact I find it interesting because he is just straight forward on the murdering and he enjoys killing and fucking up shit. It's like a typical psycho bad guy but this time it's the main character.
When I started watching I was like 3 eps in waiting for signs of him going rogue and fucking everything up and going bad for at least a season. Never happened, finally I didn't care.

>but he isn't relatable at all. He isn't even interesting in fact I find it interesting because he is just straight forward on the murdering and he enjoys killing and fucking up shit.

>>14821192
nonono, i remember lengthy conversations here and on /a/ that mostly came to the conclusion that McGillis had the kind of personality to check wether the guy that could've singlehandedly fucked over his plans was actually dead and not just pretending.

>>14821197
Mika fucking shot that old guy outside of his MS, he's dead as shit anon.

>>14821225
But then people would bitch about it being a shitty Gundam ripoff.

>>14821485
I personally think it is Ein uploaded to a robot body but Gali would be preferred. McGillis just doesn't seem like the type to make such a massive fuckup as in not making sure Gali was dead.

>>14821481
>Maybe the new animation director is better it would be nice if it looked as great as Vulvarape
That show had shitty animation. Its animation was legitimately worse than IBO.

>>14821481
The problem is that IBO fights are not animated at all. Everything always look very static with Barbatos motionless in cool pose.

It's God Mars tier.

>>14821494
>It's God Mars tier.
God Mars was awesome, don't compare it with shit and cum.

You know, with Mika being referred as the Devil of Tekkadan him being able to steamroll everyone might become a subplot later on, assuming they don't drop all the cool stuff like S1.

>>14821494
Nah, It's SRW F tier.

I don't mind having a pretty sociopathic main character. My problem with Mika though is that they play him waaaay to safe. I'm guessing it's some author v. executives things though, because you can tell that someone wants Mika to go full blown psycho, but the script doesn't let him.

>>14820259

Whats wrong with bonding with the leader of the group of pilots who nearly killed you and drove your comrades brother to suicidal insanity from living so long as a slave by humanising him. This isnt the Brewers or CGS. They are going to treat him like an actual human being.

This actually reminds me of a story from a friend who grandfather was almost part of the SS but couldnt stomach the atrocities and asked to be transferred to the navy where he would get boarded and captured by a soldier. After he got out of the POW camp he fell in love with the sister of the guy who captured him and found out about it.

>Orga just takes advantage of that.

I think it's more Orga and Mika are taking advantage of each other. They enable each other in a very toxic way.

Orga tells Mika what to do, and Mika does it. So far it doesn't matter what it is, including executions, Mika will do it. But Orga is also trying to live up to Mika's expectations of him, and to some length he fears the manlet (see "who should I kill Orga" scene). And we've seen what happens when Orga fails to live up to those expectations (same scene). To this point, Orga (who went the entire series talking about how Tekkadan was his family) was willing to go all out and throw his comrades into a meat grinder in the name of revenge.

Orga guides Mika, Mika guides Orga. The both push each other to do whatever they need to without any though. And hopefully, this will become a bigger part of the series this season.

Let me guess, you're gonna cry about the ANN boogeyman, aren't you?

>>14821668
I felt that there's also a slightly more simple and straightforward side to that scene, that Mikazuki had no other idea how to break Orga out of his rut than to try and make things like they were before. If Orga gets back to giving orders and plotting the way to that happiness at the end, everything will be better.


It's difficult to tell because Mika's nuances are largely a product of how simple his behavior loop is, while also capable of emergent moments of insight more than you'd expect from someone who is otherwise dumb muscle and proud of it.

He's the kind of person people inside and outside the show probably overthink when trying to understand what makes him tick.

>>14821754
literally how could they think otherwise. they pretty much confirmed it this episode.

>>14821754
Why? And who do they think is this?

>>14821765
>they pretty much confirmed it this episode.
they did not

>>14821765

Not an autograph guy, have a drawing

>gundam is the named after god of vengeance

>still high in Gjallahorn ranks
who else would it be?
>>14821771
I doubt it, he never seemed like a pilot guy

Great writing: McGillis left Gaelio alive after spilling the beans on his plan

>>14821785
>who else would it be?
Ein

>>14821794
>dude that'd be dead without the graze life support system
>alive with all his limbs
yeah no, besides he never knew he was betrayed/used by McGillis.

>>14821796
They can rebuild him, they have the technology, and he would have a vendetta against Murderzuki.

>>14821803
maybe, but he's not masked man.

Wait is that Blondie or Ein?

who?

he's dead jim

But I wanted this one to be action heavy.

fareedo mack gillis

>>14821706
>you can hang around here and still like IBO,
No you can't. If you like IBO you are a bad person.

>>14821816
he was phone calling Tekkadan so he's nowhere near mars, he's on earth. also the Iok/Meat man said Mask man is making it easier to counter McGillis's plans with the info he's providing.

>>14821754
If it is him it's bad writing like >>14821793 said. McGillis seems like the kind of guy to not leave things like this to chance so having it be Gaelio would just feel like a poorly written cop out.

>>14821794

TFW it's really Carta.

I sure as hell hope this is an elaborate revenge scheme.
I live for that shit.
Pic related, best moment of the previous season.

Not just one, Leo with its head turned, but three.

The one one the left looking off. Directly behind the left looker with its back turned looks like that one is looking to its left a bit. And the then one to the right of the central Leo looks like he is looking a little to his left as well, if he was facing straight ahead its red band would like up with the line on the collar piece.

FYI Earthers are technophobic towards cybernetics thanks to Gjallarhorn propaganda. While Gjallarhorn has the knowledge base under lock and key there aren't much R&D and real experts since the Calamity War era.

This exactly. Gjallarhorn are only ones with CURRENT knowledge of the AV system and proper medical facilities. The space rats get the tijuana special in a van/back alley clinic.

Scar kid is part of Akihiro's family now. They won't kill a second little brother.

> Full city (alt. light French, light espresso, Continental) is the name applied to a degree of roast of coffee beans which is darker than a city roast. In this roast, the beans roast past the first crack, but stop prior to reaching the second crack.

The Brewers took his first little brother.

Gusion Rebake Full French, or Vienna?

>>14820753

You pick that but not the part in the OP where they hold hands?

Between that and the smile Aston gives Takaki in the opening, the gay has gone up significantly.

>>14822575
Which one is gayer?

>>14822645
Well, Full French is pretty close to being on fire. There's that.

>>14822675
As long as it's not a metaphor for more dead otoutos.

>There are/were people in this thread who unironically bitched about a Gundam MC who doesn't have drama problems that make them unable to pull the trigger and/or have such a weak mentality that they break down in the middle of a fight

I swear, the moment G-Reco aired I literally stopped understanding what half of you come to watch Gundam for. For me, it sure isn't that romanticized garbage.

>>14822971
Yeah, fuck character development. What kind of losers want that?

>>14822971

The problem is that Mika has almost nothing to him. He is basically Inaho but worse since at least Inaho's retarded super wikipedia physics could be funny.

>>14823356
The problem is there is a clear difference between one autistic and the other autistic. Inaho came up with plans and the reason he didn't give a fuck about killing is that he was fighting for his own survival. Inaha didn't have the thrill to kill. Mika's only plan is to bash and break his opponent, there is nothing else to it. Mika gets murderlust and enjoys the act of killing.

>>14823522

But Mika is still a boring faggot. He just swings to the other side of insufferable.

>>14823545
I am not debating that, I find him boring in everything besides savage and brutal combat, like how he fucked up Carta.

>>14823707

Is that all it takes? Seriously, level up your taste. I like brutal mech carnage too, but Mika is simply not compelling. Just mech fights alone is not even enough to carry one character let alone a show.

On one hand I understand what they were attempting to go for with Mika, but it doesn't work. He is just a plot device, a shitty win button.

>>14823723
Anon, stop getting so angry at me. I agree Mika is boring, but I find when he starts his carnage, I am entertained. I never said he was compelling, he just entertains at certain points. IBO is dull, boring shit.

>>14823741

I'm not angry, retard. You need to stop reading emotions into 4chan posts.

>>14823748
You seems kind of upset, I can tell by your choice of words.

>>14823707
I was kind of kind of tired with watching incompetent characters get steamrolled.

>>14823934

This. It's not interesting because Mika has no investment in any of the people he fights, and the people he fights are incredibly flat, cartoonishly incompetent/evil retards who get maybe two episodes of buildup if they're lucky before they're killed off. Who fucking cares?

Lila Rila in Zeta was a better developed antagonist than over half the ones in IBO, and that is sad.

Currently catching up with IBO, so I dont the thread but I just finished the first cour and I want to say fuck you to everybody who told me its bad and keeping me from watching this perfectly acceptable anime.

Shoving Okada into an action series is great, finally makes her snail stories have a bearable pace.

>>14824262
Watch the second half, now imagine watching it week to week.

>>14823522
Inaho x Mika for bros in SRW.

>>14822725
Full French would mean Akihiko lost a second brother, and is pretty close to being completely destroyed.

>>14823934
It is entertaining twice, the Crank and Carta ones were entertaining. The pirate bullshit in the middle made me want to die and the Ein shit was spoiled when he didn't kill a single person.

>>14824320
I want Inaho, Mika, and Haruto together in SRW. Together, they can make a whole character and it might be entertaining.

>>14824606

I don't know, they all seemed kind of shit. Crank was in what, episodes 1 and 2? It was too early for him to have much of an impact and Mika just gunning him down held little impact. It was the kind of thing that should have happened around episode 10-12, but they blew their load ineffectually with it.

It's really lame because Crank was an experienced old veteran pilot who knew the ways of mech combat and seemed like he could hold his own against anyone and they wasted him.

Carta was always a joke character, so her getting beat down was pretty much like watching some guy kick sand in the faces of babbys. There was nothing cathartic or interesting about it other than that he whooped her REALLY hard, but in the end it was the same old shit and it was also rushed. It felt like IBO realized it needed a character with some levity and for Tekkadan to face someone who was not a total shitbag and for Tekkadan to lose somebody actually important. So in the Carta arc they tried to do all three. It was too little too late.

And finally the Ein shit was downright insulting dogshit. Everybody was shown getting slain as explicitly as you can without showing them being literally gored onscreen and they still lived, without even dehabilitating injury. He fought one time and when they first introduce the Graze Ein he's meant to be terrifying, but then he goes up against Mika, and is an ineffectual joke babby literally who like everybody else. Mika actually takes damage but then suddenly he just decides to get serious and gains the Heart of the Cards and is able to just rise up like a shounen manga hero to have his sword suddenly become ten times sharper and oneshot Ein, the guy using the true form of the Alayavagina. It was, in a word, cheap.

IBO fights lack any sense of urgency, tension, or emotional weight because the main character is invincible and no one can match him, and he wins without trying or caring, and everyone he fights is a caricature.
