Thanks for the recommendations i have see so far only ibo and build fighters and I'm enjoying every moment of it.
I've actually been aware of gundam for a while but didnt think i would ever get into it.....then i heard the op for IBO, I LOVE man with a mission!! so i figured why not?
Now that i think about it i decided to watch a lot of anime after only hearing songs from the shows, this is how i got introduced to FMA too
For me music is one of the biggest factors of my opinions on different show

OK yeah, I get what you meant now. The Leopard is definitely influenced by the Heavyarms. And the Airmaster by the Wing. And the Virsago by the Epyon.

Watch 00, X, the 0079 movie trilogy, and War in the Pocket. 00, X, and WitP are some of the best Gundam series ever (although someone's sure to disagree with me on that), and 0079, while very poorly animated (it was the 70s, all anime looked like shit back then), has a solid story that the movie trilogy did a great job of summing up. And it's the first Gundam series ever, so it's worth watching simply to see how far Gundam's come.

That's a really, really loose comparrison, since all of Wing's Gundams were given new cool-tone colourschemes. Wing Zero became mostly blue, Sandrock became blue and lavender, Altron was already grean but became a darker green, and even deathscythe who was already mostly black was made even more black, and most of it's white parts were turned purple. In fact, all of them had their white parts tinted ever so lightly blue. (especially Sandrock, who no longer looked like it went anywhere near sand or rocks of any kind)

About the only thing they have in common is both being black and red (a typical evil colourscheme) with wings, but they're not even the same shade of red, and they swap primary colours.

Honestly? Wing/G Gundam was the last time I feel like Gundam designs really stood out from each other, except for the radical redesigns like G Reco and Barbatos. Most other Gundams just feel like the same suit with minor variations, only really standing out once you get up close. (And yet Wing/G Gundam are the ones to have the least amount of modern kits made, not counting the EW redesigsn that never showed up in the show itself)

As if you ever need an excuse to watch G Gundam! :D

So we get some background on Akihiko this time around, which leads me to think that he'll most likely have an early death....

Nah, they'll probably do something worse and have him start a rivalry with his bitter/brainwashed brother, who may or may not be part of at least this pirate gang.

So Bandai has been announcing the English cast for IBO.

This VA I've never heard of before named Kyle McCarly is voicing Mika. Although I don't watch much anime, so don't take my lack of knwoedge seriously. I looked him up on wikipedia and he was in Aldnoah Zero so yay?

Also, Johnny Young Bosch is gonna be Orga.

We'll get more info on the remaining cast soon, but hopefully the dub turns out good. Bandai has been on top of it with the Origin and Unicorn dubs, so hopefully we can get 3 good ones in a row.

Still no Thunderbolt release annoucement though.

I hope to see IBO on Toonami next year. It would be so cool to have Gundam return back to the action block that made it popular back in the late 90's and early 2000's.

I hope 00 makes it on Toonami too if Ibo gets on first and is very successful.

If Toonami picks up a Gundam show then it would likely be IBO since it's more new. Having IBO on Toonami could re-introduced the series back to causalal anime fans again since the last Gundam show on Toonami was like a decade ago.

Picked up a few more Gundam kits.
