IBO having more complex political themes than other Gundam shows? You can't be serious, you gotta be kidding me, right? |

Not a horrible start, but like the first season the dialog and character acting gets on my nerves.
I have to strongly disagree with the reviewer on the music. I found it to be uninteresting on a standalone level and I never even notice it while I'm watching the show. Definitely not my favorite soundtrack. I liked the little twitch McGillis had when the word friend was dropped. That was a nice touch. |

Not sure saying that it starts years after the first season is all that big a spoiler.

A spoiler nonetheless. |

So set 300 years after the calamity war would be a spoiler then?
Seriously, a narrative set up ≠ plot points. Anyway copy pasting my thoughts from the series discussion tread
And although need to see a few more ep to confirm this but I'm calling S2 to be the season where makie, tekkadan and kudelia rise up the ranks and S3 would be the climax of all out war between Mars, economic blocks and the mob. Oh and hush would betray the team some point in S2 |

Yeah Hush is obviously being setup as the traitor, it's a bit annoying at how naked it is, plus it's the start of the season yet there spending so much time on a character no one know or really care about.
I doubt there'll be a S3, no gundam show ever worked that way, they always come in sets of 2, maybe if it does extraordinarily well there's gonna be a sequel (so another set of 50) but I doubt it, from what I gather the number are respectable but nothing special, both in show air time and fungal sale. |

I was lucky enough to get to see the world premiere event for this at Anime Weekend Atlanta this past weekend and I really enjoyed it.
It did well setting up where our characters are now both with verbal and visual story-telling. As a big mecha nerd, it was especially fun seeing the final battle (if it was a bit short). The scene of spoiler[the Barbatos Lupus just dropping from the sky in a standing position like a bamf before home run-batting a mobile suit to death and revealing a good quality Gundam eye light-up sequence] pleased me immensely. |

more complex than build fighters, I guess. |

Most of them actually, maybe only behind zeta. You have a lot of different party around. You have the different economic spheres (5 if I recall correctly) which are all still compromised of various country. Then you have Gjallahorn which is technically beholden to the economic sphere but at the same time seems pretty independent, then within it you have the 7 families, which can probably be grouped into 3-4 internal factions, along with the different section, like earth defense fleet and outer sphere fleet. Then there's also the various companies like turbine which is linked to one of the economic sphere, then you have Tekadan which is an off-shoot of that. Then there's mars itself which seems to have certain degree of autonomy at the moment. And I'm not quite sure how the space colony work, probably as country within an economic block. Along that you have various other organization and mercenary groups and pirates. So yeah, pretty complex compared to almost all gundam series, like I said on top of my mind zeta seems to be the only one with similar level of complexity, and I'm not even sure that's the case (especially if you only compare the first half of Zeta to the first season of IBO). Wing, 00, SEED, turn A, Age and G certain didn't have that level of complexity, same for the original gundam (just counting the actual initial 50 episode). Reconquista maybe, but that's kinda of a cluster fudge. |

I still get that: "At the end everybody will be dead"-vibe.
But seriously, I very much look forward to the second season, and #ep26 was good start. The timing for the end was really good. And Orga is staying true to his form. spoiler[Saying, that he can't run, when Mikazuki ist still fighting.] |

Personally I'm betting on him being spoiler[the very much not dead Gaelio]. We'll see eventually.
