seti88 Posted March 16, 2017 Posted March 16, 2017 I hope they will go into a season three...I keep waiting for kudelia to be the queen of the revolution (remember the revolution photo in season one) and for tekkadan to be the Knights. And maybe Camelot finally arrives in season 3. Quote
Kelsain Posted March 16, 2017 Posted March 16, 2017 Or they all die valiantly, but Mika has babies. So, yay? Quote
seti88 Posted March 16, 2017 Posted March 16, 2017 Nah... I thk to do that within 3 episodes will be throwing away too much good work gone into building up a solid IBO miniverse... Quote
chyll2 Posted March 16, 2017 Posted March 16, 2017 suddenly the idea of Season 3 is a hit on me. Quote
dizman Posted March 16, 2017 Posted March 16, 2017 At this point I just want a Calamity War movie or OVA, there's a much more interesting story hidden in the past we've yet to see. Quote

seti88 Posted March 16, 2017 Posted March 16, 2017 (edited) Wasn't 00 a three parter? There was supposed to b third season of build fighters too until IBO came along? All I know is IBO has quite the storyline, it's a must watch! Edited March 16, 2017 by seti88 Quote

I would love for them to do the Calamity War. Start at the beginning and depending on how long the war was supposed to be do some time jumps highlighting the progress. I think there is some real potential there that other gundam series haven't touched on. It would be awesome if season 2 ends with a cliff hanger and season 3 is the Calamity War. Then they could have some plot device during the Calamity War that would concluded the series in the fourth season. Ahhh, wishful thinking. 2 hours ago, Archer said: Has Gundam (unless we're counting UC) ever had a season 3 proper?

None of the alternate universes (non-UC) have had more than two series and an OVA/movie, except for Seed. I believe you are right that Seed is very popular in Japan, like Gundam Wing in the States. And the separate UC series (original Gundam, Zeta, ZZ, Victory) only did two seasons. I would say the Universal Century has several series and each series was two seasons or less. Quote
Marzan Posted March 17, 2017 Posted March 17, 2017 I've heard nothing of a season 3. I don't discount the possiblity of them doing a film for the grand finale though. Quote

SuperHobo Posted March 18, 2017 Posted March 18, 2017 47 episodes in of IBO and I have to say I'm quite impressed with how little stock footage or reused animation there is for a mecha show. Quote

Yeah, Seed and Seed destiny had so much re-used animation. The only re-used animation in IBO that I can recall is the Gusion RFC's scissor attack. Quote

Marzan Posted March 19, 2017 Posted March 19, 2017 Ugh- At this point IBO seems like an exercise in masochism. All this crap happening to Tekkadan and now Orga gone. Wouldn't be surprised if it was McGillis that ordered the hit in order to get Mika to freak. Quote

No one else knew abt orga escaping at that very moment! It certainly would set up a barbatos v bael..after bael disposes of the vidar... unless of course the phones were tapped or rustal was monitoring the admoss office... .....maaaybe orga survives? still numb tho...

I'm pretty sure he's dead. They really like killing the good guys off in this series while letting vermin like Iok and Julietta survive again and again and again. Quote

Spoiler I would have tot orga's smarts to perhaps wear a bullet proof vest. Since Mcgillis didnt seem to care abt tekkadan, orga would not have trusted him. Still holding on to any possibility, tho i get it wouldnt be a stretch for the writers to kill him off, since they already put us on a roller coaster. Next episodes mecha animation looks to be pumped up as expected! Quote
Beltane70 Posted March 19, 2017 Posted March 19, 2017 Spoiler I really hope it's not a case of McGillis of betraying Orga. I think a bigger plot twist would to have McGillis not be behind Orga's demise! Quote
SuperHobo Posted March 19, 2017 Posted March 19, 2017 Well damn, another episode where I'm shedding tears for IBO. It's crazy how much I disliked the first season, but for some reason I stuck with this season and I feel rewarded with season 2 where all of the crap is going down. I remember I only shed tears once throughout Gundam 00 when a certain sniper bought the farm. Spoiler All eyes are now on who ordered the hit on Orga. Was it Macky?, Makanai, or Rustval himself? I also think it was Macky Macky, but lets see how this goes next week. Oh and next week's episode is named after Mcgillis so he's either going to die or reveal his REAL plan. It's also funny how much plot armor our supposed villains have. Usually it's the other way around where our heroes have ALL the armor in the world. Quote
chyll2 Posted March 20, 2017 Posted March 20, 2017 all the evidence point that it was done by McGillis but of course, this could be a misdirection. Overall, a very old, used and cheap trick to get a motivated Main Character. Quote
dizman Posted March 20, 2017 Posted March 20, 2017 Spoiler When I saw the guys standing by the car wearing their tekkadan coats on the open street I figured somebody was gonna bite the dust, then everybody started to talk about hope and future plans while walking towards the car. Shame it had to be Orga but it was going to happen eventually, his death actually feels appropriate seeing as he was more of a CEO than a fighter in season 2. Quote
electric indigo Posted March 20, 2017 Posted March 20, 2017 We still end up with a lot of things so sort out in the last (?) two episodes. Will McG just go into orbit and kill Rustal with a Bazooka shot to the Bridge Char Aznable style? Will Iok go full circle and kill Mikazuki somehow? Will Gaelio kill Julia to spare her becoming the next Frankengraze? Who will survive, and what will be left of them... Oh and nice to see Azee has moved up within Teiwaz. Quote
seti88 Posted March 21, 2017 Posted March 21, 2017 Iok killing mika would spice up the story, like being taken out by the weakest fighter possible, all is fair in battle.... it definately will stir up a lot of fan rage lol.... Quote
Convectuoso Posted March 21, 2017 Posted March 21, 2017 The only Gundam show I've watched is Gundam Wing, but after being at Japan a seing Gundam merch all over the place, I feel like watching another Gundam show. Which ones would you recommend? Quote

Which ones would you recommend? Gundam Origin is a good way to get into the Universal Century series. I would recommend reading the mangas if you can, I haven't watch the anime yet. 8th MS Team, War in the Pocket, and Stardust Memory are a must. Zeta Gundam and Char's Counter attack are good, but you should watch the Origin or the original Gundam Series to get the most out of them. Victory Gundam and F91 are also very good (F91 more so). Gundam 00 is great as a stand alone series. G Gundam and Gundam X are worth a watch but aren't as good as Gundam 00 in my opinion. Quote

Kelsain Posted March 21, 2017 Posted March 21, 2017 I watched the Origin on Hulu last week. It was pretty cool, and it inspired me to check out the original show. I'm about 5 episodes is at this point. Following up Origin's animation with the '79 is a bit jarring, but the story's good so far. Quote

It seems most people these days can't get over themselves to see the great story tying the first gundam series and drop it right away because of the "icky 70s" animation. Once you get engrossed in the story though you'll find yourself largely not caring about the older animation style and actually start to appeciate the aesthetic of it and what they were able to accomplissh at the time.

TBH, the CG mobile suits in Origin felt weirder to me than the hokey animation of the original. The MS-04 Bugu is great, though. I really like how well thought out the world is. This extends to many Gundam series, but particularly the original. The political intricacies, the accurate mapping of the Earth Sphere with respect to LaGrange Points, O'Neill Colonies. Sure, it's got Giant Robots, but even those have a passable justification. Quote

F-ZeroOne Posted March 22, 2017 Posted March 22, 2017 Regards Gundam shows to watch, its around this point that I crop up and... "Turn-A Turn Turn-A Turn, Turn AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA... Turn-A Gundam."... Quote
dizman Posted March 22, 2017 Posted March 22, 2017 So it looks like the next anime release has been announced (or will be announced shortly). Twilight Axis is a short story that takes place after Unicorn and kinda ties up the ending of that and Char's Counterattack. I don't know much else about it other than there is a red Zaku III and a Gundam that is a mix between the Nu and Alex. http://www.crunchyroll.com/anime-news/2017/03/22-1/gundam-twilight-axis-anime-announcement-reportedly-coming-this-week Quote
