IBO was such a great breath of fresh air. Basically a mecha anime that happens to have some of the robots named "Gundam", but almost wholly unlike any Gundam show before it. There's a harem ship, the main character shoots a hostage at point blank in the face without a second thought, and A Char shows up towards the end but is really the first example of A Trieze since, well, Trieze.Deadput wrote:ScottyP wrote:Oh don't get me wrong, I adore Unicorn.

Oh er, Cyberverse, yeah. Don't really have much else to say until they release some more information.
I personally loved Gundam Iron Blooded Orphans and the ending was perfect.
I've never completed any other Gundam series so my opinion is kind of bias.
It'd be potentially cool to see Hasbro try this with Transformers- make a cool show about mode changing robots that happen to be called Transformers, and throw away almost all of the other tropes. In today's corporate culture of Total Brand Awareness this will never happen, but it's probably what needs to happen.
