Iron Blooded Orphans keeps getting better and better with every week.

Mika is just so damned brutal and I love it.

So I decided to watch iron blood on crunchy roll yea it's a week late due to daisuke owning stream rights for sharing so crunchyroll had it week late so I be watching episode two tonight next week episode three

The HG team did an excellent job translating both the God and Shining Gundams into plastic. They're just fun to mess around with.

The title of this week's episode made no allusions to its content. It was satisfying to see them take charge of their situation, but man if it wasn't surprising to see Mika do what needs doing. Serious game face on that fella.

Love Episode 3 of IBO. Something I really liked about this episode was that the kids in CGS are stern enough to drug their superiors and kill 2 guys on the spot, but give fair pay leave to the people who left or will continue to work with them. I also love that the accountant got spared, lol. Orga seems like a pretty stern but fair guy with all the decisions he's made so far.

The fight scene was great. Not that different from the other fight scenes we've had (but good god that mace tip piercing the Graze was pretty brutal), but still good. I also love sort of the awkwardness of when the commander guy wanted Mika to kill him, with him emotionally reaching out and Mika just not responding to it.

Now that we've got this initial Gjallerhorn attacking the base stuff out of the way, is the next thing that is going to happen that they're gonna go find Kudelia's rich friend to keep Tekkadan going? That's what I think, but the previews kinda made it seem like they're just sort of waiting around.

And hey, Barbatos has that one Graze's shoulder pad. So they are at least using the interchange armor stuff.

I've seen the original, Wing, G, 08th MS Team, SD Gundam Force, parts of SEED and one episode of AGE. I was curious about Build Fighters, but I didn't really know what it exactly was outside of the Gunpla elements. I do want to get more into Gundam, though.

You reminded me of how moody American Gunpla commercials tried to be compared to the Japanese ones.

Oh cool! That's a decent amount of series, but not too much either. Since you've seen the original series, I have to recommend the 0079 movies as well, along with the Zeta series and its movies too. Zeta's a great show and has much higher stakes and much cooler action then 0079. Actually, the movies and Zeta should be getting re-released soon, so now's the perfect time to jump in.

I also recommend 00 by default. 00 is great. It has great action, a tightly-knit fast-paced story, cool characters and MSes, along with a great world. It has 2 seasons, so be sure to watch them in order, and the movie is pretty awesome as well, at least to me. It's my favorite Gundam series and my favorite anime, so take my recommendation with a grain of salt. In order to watch these, however, you're either gonna have to find some old DVDs, or go find it online somewhere. I rented the series and movie from my library so maybe check there?

Unrelated, but I found an interesting post on twitter about Modern vs old gunpla. It's a comparison of 2015 to 1995 HG kits.

Anybody that is new to Gundam on here or hasn't watched one in a while, you always suggest 00 :lol

Also Altron looks good

Well, obviously. It stands on it's own, and doesn't suck. Those are two things you don't often see together in Gundam. IBO might change that, though.

I.Want.It.

Also, Neptune, X. Watch X.

I would have been interested in it if it wasn't another P-Fucking-Bandai exclusive.

Yeah, X is win.
