I've watched what has aired on Toonami so far for IBO and I don't see anything wrong with it. It's nice to see Gundam do something completely different for a change. We haven't had that since Turn A. |

I'm looking forward to both IBO S2 and Try Island Wars. I do think that the first season of IBO was a bit meh and lacking something. I didn't even realize I was already at the last episode and was expecting more to the story. Hopefully it'll be better in the second season.
As for the new Build Fighter series, I'm excited for what new kits we'll be getting from it though I a lot of them have already been announced/known. Also it looks like that green 00 Qan[T] is called Gundam 00 Shia Qan[T]. |

Do you guys think Gundam Build Fighters could work on a kids channel in the US like Nick Toons, Disney XD or maybe normal Cartoon Network? It would be cool to introduced younger people to Gundam. From what I've seen of it, it's a show for younger fans. Not to mention you would have a toy sale to sell to kids. Kids would have their Gundam show on TV while the older fans will have IBO on Toonami.

Did you see the awesome art that went with this?
Wow. Orga in a suit? I guess he became more like Naze in the intervening time? Kudelia looks older, so this jump has to at least be a few years. But Mikazuki looks exactly the same from when we last saw him. Is that theory about the 3 whiskers of Alya Vijana impeding his growth affecting his aging too? But Orga doesn't look to different either. It looks like there are new recurits in Tekkadan. I'm not sure if these are compeltley new characters or some of the kids in the background that have grown up a bit, because I don't see any younger ones in the trailer. Barbatos Lupus is badass. I know it's just form 4 with some extra siky bits, red shoulders and a bat but god lord this suit looks awesome. Quote:

Yeah, Biscuit's twin sisters looks like they're at least in their early teens now. It looks like Mika grew somewhat, at least in that artwork you posted. |

I've been seeing a lot of comparisons between Iron Blooded Orphans and Metal Gear Solid 5 people have been making. The artwork I posted up above in particular reminds me of a cutscene midway through the game where they get a mech and bring it back to base. "We hold our rifles in missing hands, We stand tall on missing legs, We stride forward on the bones of our fallen. Then, and only then, are we alive." You think this is an apt comparison? I've never played MGS so I wouldn't know, but both are about militarism in some aspect. |

It occured to me last night that there tends to be a glaring omission from most MS armories, and it's a fairly simple one.
Flamethrowers. Effective against other MS? Maybe, certainly not a plotanium-armored Gundam. Effective in space? Absolutely not. But against infantry, especially early on in a war? The psychological impact would be more devastating than an artillery strike. Just imagine a battlefield, thick with smoke and fire, and massive war machines striding about it, incinerating all in their path with jets of white fire, glassing the earth, liquefying armor, erasing infantry. *ahem* I've been reading too much Tiberium Wars.

Well I just finished the final disc to Gundam SEED. That was a good ending. Overall, the show made a lot of missteps and rehashed a lot of what has come before it, but it is a great place for someone entirely new to the franchise to start with. Despite its flaws with its constant flashbacks, 4.5 clip show episodes, and whiny as all hell character, it is a solid show in the long run. It does start out really slow, but it gets better as it goes along. The characters are a mixed bag though. I did like the relationship that was built between the Quattro Clone and Captain Boob Physics as it was the only love story that felt like a natural progression and was legitimate throughout the damn show. Char Clone 47 was pretty awesome too and he brought on some interesting, albeit reused, ideas towards the end. Lacus is probably my favorite character though just becasue she was one of the only people to do something of her own free will. Kira was way too whiny while Cagalli was just annoying. Not to mention the Skywalker revelation between them felt forced in as if the writers just wanted a reason to get Kira together with Lacus because reasons. Athrun was a cool character to, while the rest were just there for whatever reason be it to die or just a shoulder for someone to cry onto. The mech battles themselves were done well despite the huge amount of reused footage, but I think that was more due to the excellent soundtrack it had during them. Blue Cosmos felt pretty much just like the Titans though, only halfassed since they just kind of come out of the... well... blue. The ending was a little abrupt, which isn't anything new for a Gundam show, but it would be nice to just have a damn epilogue that lasts half an episode for a change. This isn't going to make my top 10 Gundam series list, but it isn't that bad of a show either. It's kind of like X in being a middle of the road show.
Next time... Destiny BLEGH!! |
