Just started watching this after finishing GCucks.

What am I in for?
I'm three episodes in and I like it a lot. The story and setting is cool. The idea of people on Mars wanting freedom reminds me of spacenoids and their struggle for freedom.

I do like the pacing more than GQuuuux already. I think my biggest issue with that show is that they tried to do too much in too little of a runtime, and it would have been A LOT better with 24 episodes. Here is hoping IBO doesn't have the same issues.

>making a thread about a show you haven't finished yet
Close the tab.

>>280281628 (OP)
Better experience than gcucks. Literally anything is better than that touristslop.

>>280281628 (OP)
you will love it from start to finish, the silver lining of Gquuuux is that it makes the other Gundams 10x more enjoyable to watcb

>>280281689
This will be just like how I found out who Tobi was in Naruto

IBO has its moments. Season 1 by itself is fine. It does a lot of things I enjoy like no beam weaponry until season 2 and the Gundams actually have weight to them.
However the pacing is fucking terrible and it's honestly really poorly written. Miyazaki never clicked for me. I like my Gundam protags super autistic; not devoid of any personality.

>>280282193
Mikazuki* fuck me.

Barbatos and all of its upgrades were cool tho.

I actually really enjoy IBO, but I'm not actually a Gundam fan outside of playing a few games so my opinion ain't worth much.

>>280281689
Right? If youre at 3/50 episodes why make a thread discussing a show you havent seen.

>>280281776
I know I enjoyed Zeta more than GQuuuuuux
I'm not sure why /a/ has a hate boner for Zeta, it was really good

>>280281628 (OP)
There is no issue with pacing in IBO. It is not a simple show for simpletons. Arguably, it’s the most “modern” and cinematic Gundam series because it is aimed at adults and not merely a toy commercial unlike most of the franchise. Its plot stands well on its own even when compared to non-mecha series. Any so-called “fan” who hates this is merely upset they didn’t get a toy commercial. That includes any complaint about “pacing”, which is tardbabble from zoomers without an attention span.

Every gundam series is a toy commercial you troglodyte.

>>280281628 (OP)
Mikazuki is honestly my favorite Gundam protag and Barbatos is cool as shit in all its forms. I don't care if anyone disagrees.

>>280281628 (OP)
>What am I in for?
A bunch of characters who really just do nothing for two seasons. Enjoy.

>>280281628 (OP)
A better experience than g-bitch

>>280282795
Is this one of those Char clones I've heard so much about?

>>280282795
oh, it's the choco man

MUH

>>280282541
So true. 90% of IBO haters just have their panties in a twist about the ending
Read the side story manga when ur done OP. It's, great

>>280281628 (OP)
It's better than gqux but not much of importance happens until the final 10 episodes of season 2.

>>280283415
If I remember to I will.
I think I have retardation or brain damage after high school and getting on SSRIS because I'm stupid now

When will we get an update on pic related?

>>280281628 (OP)
>What am I in for?
MUH BAEL

if you get to the end of season 1 and you enjoyed it, stop there and imagine season 2 doesn't exist, its not worth it, warned a friend of the same, he still watched it and told me he should've listened, its not about the ending, if youve watched mech stuff ya know shit can go south for characters, its just the execution is so shit, rushed and out of character it just leaves a bad taste in your mouth, but you'd still accept the events if it had been written better

>>280281628 (OP)
S1 is decent. S2 is stupid but it can be fun if you don't take it seriously at all. Beware of S2 if you got attached to Mackie or Tekkadan during S1, you will be rolling on the ground on how stupid everyone can be

>>280281628 (OP)
00 is a better representation of the franchise as a whole, even if they're both AUs. 00 also just looks better too, even though it came out almost a decade before.

>>280281628 (OP)
total Rustal death S3 when?

>>280283415
S2 was just badly executed, even when it comes to the Gjallarhorn cast (looking at Julieta here). Zeta didn't have a good ending for its main characters either yet no one complains about it.

>>280287899
yeah the whole cast they introduced for s2 was so underused too, they were incredibly superfluous

>>280281628 (OP)
>What am I in for?
Chocoman AKA the best char clone's wild ride.
He did nothing wrong btw.

>>280282851
What do the spikes do? The police variant has them rounded off, I know what kind of people mecha fans and creators are, you lot came up with a purpose.
