I just started my own rewatch last week (completely unrelated to the anniversary though) so seeing it up on official channel was a fun surprise. Watch IBO people! It’s a flawed show but pretty fun.

“Fun” is not a word that comes to my mind when thinking about IBO lol. Intense, gut-wrenching, gripping, cathartic… yeah that sounds more accurate. Either way, seconding the recommend.

You think so? Considering that it’s a Gundam show with such an edgy name it ended up being downright lighthearted compared to what I was expecting.

…I’m honestly not sure how to answer. I mean, there were lighthearted aspects. Who names their kids Cookie, Cracker, and Biscuit? 😂😅😢 But start to finish, it was a tragedy in the classic sense.

I ride with Ride.

I mean, there wasn’t even one attempted genocide! Have you seen Victory Gundam? IMO it’s a lot more bleak, though also not as good tbh so if you haven’t watched it don’t feel compelled to.

True, should’ve used engaging rather than fun. I blame ping - that’s always a good justification, right?
