During season one i thought it was ok, but season two really solidified the greatness of the show for me. I struggle to understand how divisive the show is with fans. My only conclusion is that there is a large segment of Gundam fans who only want a power fantasy and war drama and miss the core of the show. War is hell, power corrupts, and only cooperation leads to a better world. I actually believe IBO is probably the best executed and realized version of those core Gundam principles intended all those decades ago. That said it is a tough, sad pill to swallow.
The main reason a lot of fans dislike season 2, is cause it feels Hella rushed, and also cause of juilleta. Her character felt like she had all the plot armor, while tekkadon members were killed off for no reason a lot of the time.
Good video. Honestly probably the realest Gundam show. Most Gundam shows will have you forget two episodes in that the main character and some other people around them are children and they just fade into being soldiers like everyone else. This one though, the entire time, I would constantly be like fuck....these are really just children fighting a war. Every death, even the most minuscule characters, just felt so much more impactful.
It was one of the finest Gundam series ever made hands down. I wish they would make a game based on it where you can make your own merc unit and the like.
Edgerunners definitely hits on some of the same notes. It is also one of my favorite shows. I'd say edgerunners is missing the political and generation aspect which I find the most impactful in IBO.
There were a lot of sad deaths I felt the rage of shino being mad he couldn't destroy galihorn's ship then dying for nothing and biscuit died trying to hold on to life then orga and tawa'z and lafter even though tekkaden didn't really win completely galihorn was reformed
Well I think it was implied well enough that the Teiwaz higher ups other than McMurdo didn’t really like them or naze Turbine Who stated that no one likes young upstarts.
They might not have liked them, but they were happy to allow them in and work with them until it reached a point that they had surpassed them. That was when parts of Teiwaz turned against them enough to try to actually kill them.
I loved it, theres a lot of ways IBO can be analysed, be it by its importance alongside other stories, its own tale in the context of the show or our world. How as time has gone by, the series seems to gain more importance with the issues we are dealing with.
If ever there was someone trying to convince someone else that Gundam anime is cool and can be watched and enjoyed by older adults (that's my Mom), this is the video to show them. This has to be the best summary of my favorite TV show ever. Keep up the great work!
I just stumbled onto this video. I have to say, this is a very Good Vid. Especially as an IBO fan, this is dope I sure hope your channel grows big soon. Good Luck
Even though I disagree on some points, and I personally see IBO as the most disappointing Gundam series that I have ever watched for all it's narrative faults on both an objective level and from my own subjective perspective, I deeply enjoyed and appreciate this analysis. I honestly never really had that much insight on the characters and the conclusions they come to by the end of series the same way you did. And I really appreciate your perspectives and the articulate analysis you give. I also INCREDIBALLY (you have no idea) appreciate how much you don't paint Tekkaden or even McGillis as the "villains" of the series like I see nearly every other video analyst do in the videos they make when it comes to series. Doing it by looking at it from an idiotic meta perspective. Instead of looking at it with meta-tinted glasses you actually look at the series for what it itself says. Seeing them as nothing more than tragic, and victims of both their own flaws and the cruel circumstances forced onto them. And that I cannot appreciate enough.
Had this in my Watch Later list for a couple of months and just got around to watching it. I'm thankful that I did, as your analysis was on point, well constructed, and beautiful. IBO is my favorite of the Gundam franchise and it's disappointing to me that Witch From Mercury couldn't live up to this as a "Next Entry" in the franchise.
For your first video, this is really good. You speak into the mic well, the script is well-written, the editing is great, and the use of music is nice. Hope to see more.
this was amazing.ibo is my favourite gundam series.I was thinking about how would i write a sequel to it but your review made me realize it would lack what made ibo ibo
I like the design of the gundams and some of the fight scenes but the one thing i didnt like is the ending of this series this is the most dissapointment gundam series that i have watched.

I agree with you there. Especially with trying to understand why so many were divided over it.
Agreed.

This show, the OST.. probs one of the best scores of all ANIME in my opinion. You fucking feel everything. But the goul

I'm not even a gundam fan, but this was such an interesting watch
cyberpunk edgerunner is basically an abridged version of this

Man this video just made me notice that they used shinos eye logo for a factory :’)

Excellent analysis!

This is very good
I love IBO so much, easily in my top 10 list.
Very well-made video, you've got a good eye for literary analysis and a helluva way with words!

Nice vid
Rather waxing poetic, and could stand to be 10mins or so shorter, but this was an excellent breakdown.
65 subs? i got you bro. 66.
Do you know what the name of the song used in the background of the beginning of the video is
It's part of the shows OST, called "Our Home"
Thank you so much bro
Bro made one video then left
I like the design of the gundams and some of the fight scenes but the one thing i didnt like is the ending of this series this is the most dissapointment gundam series that i have watched.
