Twilight axis is set after Unicorn and is about former Zeonites working for the Federation exploring the Axis colony trying to recover the destroyed Sazabi. There's a new Gundam that looks like the Alex called the Tristan and there's a red Zaku 3 Char never used.

Knowing how the Japanese tend to mangle English I'm betting the title's supposed to be more like "Twilight of Axis" or "Axis' Twilight"

A lot of people having been saying IBO season 2 has been dissatisfying , but I feel like it's kinda the point. This past episode makes me realize this series isn't gonna end like a lot of other Gundam series.

Really? I've thought it was a hell of a lot stronger than the first season was.

The only thing I'm dissatisfied with is that Mika seems barely effect by Orga's death.

Now see, I always figured Mika was some hyper-emotionally-stunted weirdo who processes emotions and things differently. There's a lot of evidence of this, and ever since he lost most of the use of his body he's gotten even more distant. Plus, he very much used Orga as a crutch, sort of enabling him to enable Mika. He really should've snapped with Orga's death, but he seems totally unbothered by it. I don't know if something dark inside him is still coming, but it retroactively makes everything I assumed was him boiling quietly inside to him just being a vacant robot with no secrets or surprises.


Like seriously, I've been waiting for him to snap, and Barbatos go go limitless again, possibly killing himself in the process, and this was the perfect time to do it. But now I guess he won't. I honestly don't know how this show will end, but it seems increasingly unlikely it will be how I wanted.

We finally watched episodes 39-44 tonight and oh my lord, Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo...

Why, god, why?

I'm surprised it took this long for Naze and Amida to die, but I did not expect Lafter to die like THAT! That was cruel and awesome at the same time. Loved the way the other dude went out too.

Sadly though, this series is becoming quite predictable. The identity of the masked man was so freaking obvious that I'm surprised they waited this long to reveal him. I do like the stuff they are doing with McGillis, as this is what I bet things would have been like had Char taken over Zeon during the original show, but again, some of it has been quite obvious.

The battle scenes have been outstanding though and the music is getting really superb these last few episodes. I'm liking this fourth incarnation of the Barbatos (although I still think the original form is the best). Can't wait to see where it goes. Now my only decision is do I wait until the final episode is up on Crunchyroll on Sunday to watch 45-49 or do I watch it before then? Ugh, first world problems!

I'm confused about something. Why does Crunchyroll say episode 49 of IBO doesn't air until tomorrow? I thought 49 aired last week?

All the streamibg services that have IBO except Daisuki are behind a week because...reasons.

Well that sucks. Looks like I'll just download Horriblesubs' rip of 49 and 50 (when they put it up).

Horrible sub most likly ripped them from Daisuki
