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.

lol. She's at least way more rational about her cause.

I like her, I have a crush on her. Probably my favorite princess-like character from a Gundam series.

Would own figure of her... Yup.

Suddenly Sinon snipes 'em both down.

She's decent for now. I give her credit for wanting to help prepare the Gundam.

Which is more than what Releena ever amounted too.

I like that Bernstein actually shows why she cares about the Martian people.

lol. Wing is so mediocre.

Something weird I found out today is that the general anime fanbase likes 00, but the gundam fanbase hates it. It's weird. I was browsing through the general anime reddit and they were having a watch through of 00 in honor of IBO coming out and the comments had nothing but positive things to say about it. I hop over to gundam forums and I feel bad for liking 00 the most.

Gundam Iron-Blooded Orphans Episode 2: I am really enjoying this. It was interesting to see how Mikazuki reacted as he fought and the blood drip down from how much of a strain this is on him but how much he's fighting to protect his comrades I love. I enjoy Bernstein a lot right now and how much she wants to help out these people and how she is being smart if she thinks she was a target not to return to her father right now. Orga I am enjoying a lot too from taking the beating from his jackass superior for his whole team and wanting to riot against them too I like that he wants them to take over to make it better for them. Orga and Mika definitely remind me a lot of Worick and Nico from Gangsta just in a different setting but that's good because I really liked those characters and I really like this characters a lot too. Mikazuki and Gundam Barbatos are becoming some of my favorite characters from the Gundam series. I also am enjoying Lt. Crank as well as he doesn't like fighting against Children and the orders he's getting. The story is interesting so far, I like a lot of the underlying plots going on here.

I find it more overrated, but not necessarily bad.

and it's so much Gundam fans as they are Tomino fans in general.
and it doesn't surprise me that Reddit unanimously hates something. either you agree with everyone or get downvoted to hell.

the same can be said for 4chan as well. there is some hardcore Tomino fanboying on there too.
maybe they're just mad not enough people are calling Greco a masterpiece? :P

Still convinced that weapon is more spear than anything else, the way he used it. Really weird looking, blunt spear, though.

Orga I both like and am very wary of, if only for Mikazuki's sake. That guy is perhaps to trusting of him, but he's clearly not an idiot so I hope nothing bad will happen between the two.

Wonder if this Gundam will get the standard wings upgrade, or if they'll just give him a jet booster without wings added on.
