Concurred. I have it and love it. Such a vast improvement over the old Bandai Entertainment DVDs I had once upon a time.

On a related topic I got in my Gundam Origin II Limited blu-ray and damn is that a nice set. Origin 1 came with a small storyboard & settings art book and the movie. That was about it. This one comes with a watercolor art print of the limited edition cover, a 10 page character & landscape art book with an actual animation cel in it, another storyboard book, the movie itself, and another 32 page text book with additional background info. It's incredible.

Thats sounds Great.

So finished The Chocolate Man's MS today. think I spoiled myself on some future fights in Iron blood orphans though:
In the instructions it shows that the Blue Graze's claw weapon can be attached to The Gundam's gauntlet arm giving it it's third form

His name is McGillis Fareed, thank you very much. But I need fanart of McGillis being Willy Wonka now for some reason.

Nope until he has a better nickname he is CHOCOLATE MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!.....

Nah just kidding, Knew someone would call me out on it. :)

This week's episode of IBO was pretty good. I was wondering where the story was gonna go after they got to space, but they're gonna need a guide to Earth, so there's gonna be a brief detour. One of the big things about this episode that was revealed was that Jupiter is also colonize and an important factor in this universe. I only thought it had only been Earth and Mars and some colonies inbetween. Makes me wonder what kinds of suits we are going to see on Jupiter, a Gundam frame maybe?

Another interesting thing is that a lot of the kids can't read or write and they have Auto Vinjana systems. You'd think 300 some odd years after the last space war would show some quality of life improvements. I also sense some further character development between Mika and Kudelia because of this, as I can't really think of much more of a thing for them to bond over now that's Kudelia has been around the conditions of Tekkadan for awhile.

I'm confused as if whether McGillis and Gaelio are chasing Tekkadan right now or not. They say they are, but they're still in the space station, so is the station just following them?

We're only 6 episodes in an Kudelia is doing so much more than Reelena in all of Wing.

Even though I love wing I have to agree on that I think BIO might replace wing as my fave season

The main difference between Reelina and Kudeli is that Reelena was more or less thrown into her role where as Kudeli decided herself to champion the Mars independence cause. IBO is already my top gundam series of the last 2-3 years.

The other difference is that Kudelia is actually eager to help and get involved with Tekkadan in anyway she can right from the very beginning. I don't really recall Reelina doing anything other than being the damsel that needs saving.

Agreed.

It's my second favorite as of right now. The show is great but there's nothing about it that would want me to put it above 00, my favorite, which had very fantastic unique things for me. But yeah, when you ave G-reco and AGE to compete with, IBO kinda by default is a lot of people's favorite Gundam show.
