Some random thoughts on the finale of IBO

Man I gotta start with...just...damn. That last episode left my feeling like I just got punched in the gut. Lemme just leave some random thoughts on things in bullet format for anyone who wants to read - that final battle was one of the best things I've seen in a long while - you often get the "bad guys" of every Gundam series calling the main MS a devil of some variety, but since we usually focus on the pilot which greatly humanizes the main Gundam, that's usually undone. This final fight really did a good job of helping to characterize the Gundams as devils to the troops of Gjallarhorn. - having Akihiro and Mikazuki pair up as the last two to be fighting worked really well and brought me back to the very beginning where they were the only two pilots. - Akihiro and Mika take a huge beating, and I'm not just talking about their gundams. They were covered in shrapnel which would instantly kill anyone else. I think the only reason they stayed alive as long as they did was because of how fit they are, and also the fact that they were hooked up to the Gundam's AV systems - even though they are scary weapons, I seriously am not sure why Deinsleifs were banned. They don't strike me as something on the same level as say gas and chemical attacks which rightfully are a weapon that should be banned. Regardless they had yet another great showing this episode - while it was sad to see Mika die, I think they had him go out in a good way. It didn't feel like they were cheating us or giving him a weak death - someone needs to get a kill count for barbatos and Gusion for this fight - on a lighter note, I'm glad things ended mostly good for everyone who survived - Gaelio and Julieta getting together is kinda nice. It's good to see Gaelio getting back to normal - Rustal ending up being a good guy was a surprise. I really understand why he was calling McGillis childish now ( although I still like Macky for trying to make a change, just not in the best way) - Ride getting revenge for Orga feels good, although I, like everyone, feel bad that he can't move on. If we ever got another part of IBO I'd love to see him reach some closure - I'm glad things with Kudelia are going well. I'm not much of a shipper, but I low key kinda would have loved to see her and Eugene get together just a tad bit - Atra grew up alot, damn. She looks good lol - Akatzuki is great, I hope he grows up to be a bit smarter than his father - seeing everyone else with different and more safe jobs was comforting. - I wonder if they ever salvaged the Gundams on Mars, or did they just leave them there like with Barbatos' mace. We clearly see that Bael was returned (with not as shiny a paint job this time around), but did they just leave two very rare Gundam frames on Mars for no reason? Even if they are in shambles, it would be a smart thing to take those and put them somewhere safe. - the new graze or reginlaze looked neat. When kit bandai

This punch was so satisfactory.

I’ve been thinking about IBO and I’ve been thinking that I would really like a series set during the calamity war. Because I honestly can't see them doing another series that took place after the events of IBO.

Quick question for the IBO fandom: Why are there so many people into it and 00?

I love IBO but I struggled to get through the first season of 00 only by viewing Celestial Being as the villains and have never even considered the second season because I just hate those three terrorists so much (Lockon was alright though). Why do people consider it good that Ride is becoming Setsuna? Why do people complain about Mika being invincible when he almost completely becomes a vegetable by the end, meanwhile Celestial Being spent their first season basically being bullies completely unaware of how their plan was completely stupid? At what point does the writing for IBO get worse then “I AM GUNDAM/GUNDAM IS GOD/I DON’T BELIEVE IN GOD” And if all of the likable stuff with 00 happens in Season 2, sorry I haven’t seen it and probably never will so feel free to spoil.
