So far IBO has been okay. Started off great, but I'm getting kinda bored with it to be honest.

That's kind of how I feel. I'm going to wait a few weeks before I go back and watch all of the episodes in one sitting.

BTW, Turn A has been announced for BD next year and Rightstuf is going to do an upgrade program for those that bought it on DVD. Also, 0080 has been pushed back until next year.

IBO drags watching week to week, I definitely recommend waiting for it to finish so you can watch it in chunks/at once.

SO two weekends ago I was at a gaming convention I wnt to that's about an hour from where I live. I got a Sinanju anime wallscroll (cringey, I know) and a Sharkrobot RX-78 t-shirt.

Yeah just the way the show is structured it makes it hard to sit through week after week.

It's more like an OVA series that's been diced up into episodes. (Kinda like RE:0096, except done way better than that editing groaner) There're be entire episodes where there's no action, which makes the breaks between big developments feel even longer apart.

The narrative vegtables are fine when eaten alongside some juicy meat, but alone there's really nothing to savour.

Which is annoying because the action in IBO is so intense that it just makes you wanting more of that.

Still, there are a couple of good downtime episodes I mean we've gotten some pretty decent character growth out of that.

Oh yeah totally. The downtime is just fine when, say, watching three or four eps at a time. But as an example, the episode about the formalities of Tekkadan joining Teiwaz is all well and good for character development and establishing plot points, but it means there's a full two weeks time of the plot not really moving.

It definitely gets more evenly paced near the end.
