IBO 18 was alright.

So I'm confused about how the hell Gjallerhorn just escaped. So one of the economic blocs put in a request for Tekkadan to be spared and Gjallerhorn just... let them go? The hell? Is this supposed to show how scummy Gjallerhorn is? I'll beat up everyone behind the economic blocs' backs until they are caught and let people get away?


McGillis doing a deal with Tekkadan is not what I expected out of a Char type character. Usually, you'd expect him to be the main rival, they fight alot, yadda yadda. But this could be a really cool turn on the trope's head. Granted, McGillis could just be using Tekkadan as a sacrifice to the outer orbit Gjallerhron guards to get Kudelia down there.

That scene with Kudelia and Atra crying was kinda cute. It's okay, we all we need a good cry once in awhile, whether you're a man or a woman.

At this point, I'm not expecting much out of IBO anymore. The series looks to fall in the "okay" to "good" range. Maybe it was my expectations were too high, or IBO just didn't deliver, but this show is kinda disappointing now in retrospect. The story is okay, the characters leave a bit to be desired, the MSes are genuine cool and badass but there are too few fights to display their capabilities. The world doesn't feel super fleshed out, I feel like every time I watch an episode now, I am try to scrap anything for lore. If the show doesn't have an interesting plot twist at the end or a season 2, I think this show might have been a waste of everyone's time.
