It's good, folks. Hexbear is picking out my anime from now on.

    Such a good series. without becoming another edgelord anime, it did such a great job at depicting life as cheap. I haven't watched enough gundam to know how different this is, but the fighting was so well done, you could really tell that in all the mobile suit fights that pilots were with full intention trying to kill the pilots of the other suits. The jump cut at the start of that one episode where they're suddenly in a slow, grinding offensive towards Vancouver Edmonton was a top tier moment, even if it first felt like you accidentally clicked an episode too far in your [Mobile Suit Gundam Iron-Blooded Orphans 2015 1080p BluRay x264 10bit AAC-Shiniori] folder.

        I didn't like much about that series, tbh. the first 10 episodes are spent doing school life shit at the boarding school for rich assholes, and then just when you think you've escaped, THEY GO BACK.

        in no relation to anything how does "Yikes, my girlfriend is brainwashed and being manipulated, I must cuck her to keep her safe" sound as a plot point?

        With IBO, I didn't actually know this was a seperate universe from the rest of the Gundam Series, I thought Gjallarhorn, Ahab Reactors, and the Calamity War, and Agnika Kaieru were series hallmarks that the normal audience would be well acquainted with, and that's why there wasn't a ton of exposition on any of them, and the fact this was all new shit made me realize how seamless the world building was, very well done.

          Got another series you recommend more? All I know about WFM is that it does a lot of school stuff, and Hexbear watched it together not long ago.

            nope. only other series I've seen are Unicorn and War in the Pocket, and I can't remember anything about them, but I think fans regard them highly.
