....Sunday at 7:30pm?

I get your point that it might not be an ideal time slot for IBO, but it certainly isn't comparable to the kind of anime they put out Sunday mornings.

SIIICK

Anyway I started Zeta, and I hate Jared.

"BLEGH KAMILLE YOU KILLED MY ALMOST GIRLFRIEND! SO I DIDN'T GET LAID LAST NIGHT!"

Dude, you have ZERO right to complain. Your moral high ground is nonexistent.

Someone please tell me he dies horribly.

In fairness Jared killing Kamile's mom was an accident even if he was a dick about it.

If by horribly you mean "Kamile basically swats him away like a bug" then yeah.

Is there actually evidence of IBO getting bad ratings?

I feel that I should point out to everyone that Japan's standards of what's appropriate for children are FAR different than what it is in the US.

Even Super Sentai/Kamen Rider has moments that makes you think if it's really age appropriate for children.

Yeah even anime release here in the US like Voltron, DBZ, Sailor Moon, Pokemon, Digimon, Yu-Gi-Oh and several others had go through major edits to be approve for a TV-Y7 or TV-G rating.

Wait it's Sunday at 7:30 pm? Crap I thought it was Saturday at 7:30 am sorry got confused there

Good point, id fprgotten that at the time, but I guess it's more just a feeling that IBO is more intense and graphic then the average gundam series but again I haven't seen much of gundam so I could be wrong
Edit: actually thinking about it more IBO is no more intense then the average gundam series (sans exceptions like thunderbolts or build fighters) so im just being kind of dumb

Intense? Perhaps. Graphic? Not really. It shows a lot of blood, but the most graphic thing I ever saw was when Barbatos crushed that one Graze Ritter's cockpit with it's foot.

What was your first Gundam show? I knew about Gundam before Wing air on Toonami since I grew up going to Japanese collector shops and comic book shops that had anime merchandise in the 90's. In 1999, I saw half of a episode of Turn A Gundam fan subbed at local comic book shop. However like most people around my age, Gundam Wing was the first Gundam show that I truly watched.

I'm a casual Gundam fan, so I grew up with Wing, G, the original TV show, SD Gundam Force, War in the Pocket, Seed and 00 on American TV (I also saw Seed Destiny when it came out too). I also did watch Zeta Gundam on a fan subbed VHS tapes in 2002, making it the first Gundam show I saw in Japanese from start to finish.

I heard it from a guy on a another website that got his info from 4chan apparently they've also been checking Toonami's ratings too which is where IBO's bleeding viewers was revealed.

EDIT: and looking at Toonami's ratings for two weeks of November myself IBO's ratings do drop:
