Great first episode. Orga is giving off the Kamina vibes :D

I enjoyed it too. Nice production values and, good setup and I Love the Gundam design

What is even the point of an official English sub release that you won't make available to the US?

Now I'm just gonna torrent it and they won't even get ad money.

Because it's on Daisuki?

Crunchyroll will be airing it starting next week.

Very solid first episode and I enjoyed the characters, particulalrly Biscuit and Orga. The exposition bits with McGillis and Gaelion were a bit clunky but most everything else was done pretty well.


Like many, I liked how we're starting off with the Mobile Workers and that these Gjallarhorn MS are very threatening and of course it was great to see Barbatos in motion and that Gjallarhorn guy get so totally owned.


All in all, unlike the first episode of the previous show I found this to be very organic, dynamic and engaging. My faith is strengthened and my body is ready for more. COME AT ME, GUNDAM!!

Daisuki wouldn't load it for me. Not to mention they have the most intrusive ads ever.

Crunchyroll will be airing it starting next week.

That's a much more compelling argument for watching a show legitimately than Daisuki streaming.

Got my 0079 vol 1 BD set from Rightstuf. Freakin' beautiful, bring on vol 2 & the movies!

How was it? Does it have english subs? Thanks. ;)

Is "Cucuruz Doan's Island" included in the set?

No. Seems like Tomino refuses to allow that episode to be released anywhere else apart from Japan :p

On the topic of Gundam BD's; since my Victory BD Box II came in today:

I'm sure you can guess that I'm a UC loving Gundam fan :p

Do have 0083:Stardust Memory & Origin II on pre-order at AmzJP; left with 0080: War in the Pocket whenever it gets a re-master :(

Don't crucify me on the SEED/DESTINY BD sets.

Have a soft spot for it despite its glaring problems (more so than Wing, which I never plan on re-visiting.)

They came with english subtitles and I was able to find them for less than half of retail price.

So I figured why not grab em instead of waiting on an NA release with no guarantee of collector-like packaging and PQ/SQ.

Why'd you put CCA before ZZ?

How is the blu ray transfer? Also the old shitty dub is the best!

Looks great. Someone on Mania.com mentioned seeing compression artifacts, but I think they're being paranoid.

If you can't bear 480p upscaling, try Crunchyroll. For that matter, if for some stupid reason Daisuki's stream won't load in your browser due to extension incompatibility issues, try Crunchyroll's free mirror of Daisuki's 480p stream. Or, if you have the aptitude, do some IP tunneling to bypass YouTube's region-locking and watch it there. It's even in HD, probably.

And if you really want to support the show, buy the model kits because it's a 25 or 50 episode toy commercial (depending on how successful the initial run is) and that's much more profitable than website ad revenue. For that matter, TV syndication deals probably would be too. But lackluster ratings for 00 were caused by Americans not caring about Gundam, not the poorly-marketed lame dub aired in a bad ratings block on a cable TV channel that's been floundering for over a decade, so I guess we can forget about that possibility.

Excuse my cynicism, I work the night shift.

Just saw the first episode of Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron Blooded Orphans and color me impressed!!! :D But why does the Barbatos remind me of Exia for some reason? O_o

Because there are only so many ways you can tweak the original Gundam's design...?

Yeah just add a buch of stupid ass spikes and oversized weapons to the RX-78-2 and you basically have the main gundams of the last 20 years.
