Oh I get and like that about him, but that line is just asking for snark. You can toss a stone and hit a Gundam series with a child/teen pilot.

That could very well be intentional.

In the OP it shows them fighting side by side in space, so who knows what Crank is up to, but he doesn't give off the Villain vibe at all. It's most likely due to the branch he belongs to that gives him that vibe.

If IBO is getting a English dub next year then is there any chance that it would air on Toonami?

You're right. He's so far, villain in name only. Might switch over, who knows?

Depends on the market, honestly in this day in age. If it doesn't hit the mainstream viewer numbers It's more than likely it won't head to Toonami, but who knows anything can happen.

Possibly. The main issue with Toonami trying to air Gundam is that Sunrise prices the broadcast rights for it too fucking high for an anime series in the western market. Again, going back to that old Bandai mentality of Gundam being as big here as in Japan. But if this is going to be the case, then Sunrise must have swallowed their pride lowered their asking price.

At this point, I'm less worried about it airing on Toonami and more about getting more Gundam on more streaming platforms. I talked to one girl in my Physics class about IBO, and she asked if it was on Netflix, and I said no. With my generation of people, if it's not on Netflix, your show is shit outta luck being considered popular.

Biscuit, Cookie and Cracker for best Gundam naming conventions ever.

Since it is getting a dub next year, I think I'm just going to hold off on the show until that comes out on BD.

I finally watched episode 1 (yay for Crunchyroll being slow...). It was pretty good. I like how the city area of Mars looks, and Mars in general should provide some nice landscapes. The battle was perfect. Intense, some suspense in it, it showed off the sad truth that people will die, and it made our soldiers (who are kids) look strong and like competent fighters (you know, unlike a certain other show).

I like the characters for the most part. Bernstein kinda struck as me being like a Tumblr social justice warrior. But she wasn't completely in your face about it, she's like every teen who gets into a cause and finds it weird that adults don't know about it. As long as she doesn't turn into Releena 2.0 I'm fine. The soldiers are fairly nice to from what was given, though I don't really care for Orga, he just seems generic to me.

Not a bad start. Looking forward to seeing episode 2.
