Gundam Discussion - Twilight Axis

[Tarage]

I'm trying to figure out how they managed to build a series where every character has about 20 or so death flags.

Also, I'm not sure if the next episode preview is trolling.

[Cleverness]

There has to be a Red Wedding or end of Zeta type event at some point with how close to death some of these people are. And we're over half done with this series, curious on how the pacing will look for the finale. There's only a few episodes left to setup some giant space war that will inevitably be the finale since its Gundam.

Also that mask and Yugioh haircut is skeptical.

[Vaspinne]

Is the series only going to go 26 episodes? Or are we getting the 50'ish episodes we usually get with like Wing, SEED, 00, etc

[Cleverness]

It's only 25 which I feel is gonna be a problem with how the pacing has been going. In a 50 episode Gundam it would be fine but these last 11 episodes are gonna be really quick plot wise.

[Vaspinne]

Yeah, that's kind of lame. Maybe there will be a big cliff-hanger and they'll get a 2nd season after a bit of a break like with what happened with 00

[Koul]

Yeah, I was thinking isn't that what happened with 00. I'm almost positive we'll get a second season of this. We haveta, WE JUST HAVETA!

[Cleverness]

I don't remember what happened back then when 00 came out(I don't think I started watching it till the 2nd season was starting to air) but it's entirely possible that's where they can go with this. The first season of 00 could have been a standalone series if they just cut out certain parts near the end that tie it in to the 2nd season. Although I'm not sure how popular Iron Blooded Orphans is doing in Japan.

[Vaspinne]

I looked at the dates on MAL. There was a 6 month gap between seasons for 00. This series better be doing well in Japan. This series has been solid so far and just because it doesn't have magical loli's in skimpy bikini's doing stupid weaboo kawaii shit doesn't mean it shouldn't get the attention it deserves.

Damn, Thunderbolt was taken down on youtube...

Finally caught up with IBO, first Gundam series I've thoroughly enjoyed since 0080

Spoiler: show

nothing like a union workers riot to get the death flags flying again eh? I get the feeling Mika, Orga, and Orga's sidearm are gonna have a little talk with their new Teiwaz brother about that little hidden arms deal.

[Serra]

Season 2 of IBO confirmed, so get hyped!

Looks like all those deathflags (and there are a lot lol) might lead up to a big finale that has a cliffhanger leading to the end of the first season. Let's just hope someone like Orga doesn't die and is conveniently replaced by his never before mentioned twin Borga.

[Tyrath]

I expect big bro from Teiwaz to be dead by the end of s1.

I could see that. And then the Harem all move onto Biscuit. :3

In regards to today's episode:



The ending transitioning to the new ED song was fantastic too. This is one of the best Gundam series in a loooong time, and yet there's been barely any mecha stuff so far, albeit, looks like that'll change next episode.

[Tymon]

Well, it's the best since 00, and that's honestly the last real Gundam series.

[Tyrath]

I'm surprised our total Gundam count is still 1.

[Vaspinne]

It's crazy to think 00 came out in 2007. Almost a decade lol

[Serra]

I'm surprised our total Gundam count is still 1.

Up to three now.

Also, has it been like four episodes since we saw any Gundam action?

[Tyrath]

When did we see the other 2? O_o
