[Iron-Blooded Orphans] What’s up with that… The work that people have been saying all sorts of things about is actually pretty interesting when I watch it all at once…

1: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)21:42Yeahx8

Waiting for a week can sometimes be quite stressful.

2: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)21:42Yeahx19

Surprisingly, there are often many things that are said here that don’t really bother me…

3: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)21:43

What’s the matter… Dying to protect a comrade isn’t so bad, is it…?

6: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)21:44Yeahx4

>>3Ah. (Don’t stop… It wasn’t a funny scene at all.)

4: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)21:44Yeahx9

Iron-Blooded Orphans, DESTINY, and AGE were all just plain interesting…
Maybe not waiting a week is what’s working, Mika!

7: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)21:46

I thought Mika was a woman for a long time.

43: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)22:21Yeahx6

>>7What are you doing, Mika~!

51: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)22:23

>>43I see various Mika and the captain around…

8: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)21:48Yeahx7

Is the final battle of DESTINY and the Gilard Spriggan really that talked about…? That’s how I felt…
It’s probably because you already know in advance, Mika!

12: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)21:52Yeahx1

>>8I mean, back then I thought that Kira and the others would win, but I figured it would be really intense, right? The Provi Freedom battle was also interesting.
I never thought that there would be no battle at all…

17: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)21:57Yeahx1

>>12When I think about it, Shin was on the brink of sanity and Rei was just holding Kira back, so it wasn’t really a decisive battle…
I understand that there will be complaints in real time…

29: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)22:09

>>12There is no battle in the final episode because the fighting is concluded in the previous episode in the HD remaster, while the original version had battles as usual!

62: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)22:26

>>8The fate ends in the TV version with Shin being beaten up and standing still on the moon…
Not only is the reconciliation with Kira cut out, but even the part where Athrun comes to pick him up is cut.

9: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)21:48

The Universal Century and the Alternate Universes can never understand each other, no matter what…

10: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)21:50Yeahx7

I’ll boldly start a thread about the fact that I liked you…
What’s this… It’s surprisingly growing, isn’t it…

15: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)21:53

>>10I’m really happy, you know…

11: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)21:51

Olga, don’t cling to the leader!

14: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)21:52

>>11Ah.

13: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)21:52Yeahx5

I saw G-Reco in the movie version, you know…
What the hell… There’s malice all around, but somehow it ended on a positive note, right?

18: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)21:57Yeahx5

I don’t like it, but I’m glad you enjoyed it… I hope you value that feeling…

19: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)21:58Yeahx12

I’ve been enjoying Giga Axes quite a bit, and I feel that the one to trust in entertainment should be my own sensibility…

20: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)22:02

It’s just that works you take your time to watch tend to stick in your memory better than those you binge-watch all at once…

21: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)22:03

The Girard Spriggan has that frustration that comes from being in real time…
It’s being forced into the same pointless cycle, and unlike before, I can’t even make jokes about it…

22: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)22:04

Iron-Blooded Orphans did change the world a bit with Tekkadan, but as entertainment, it felt like the enemy leader just let them go, which I think lacked a clear sense of catharsis.

32: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)22:12

>>22However, there has been quite an impact and damage to Gjallarhorn, so that’s a factor.

23: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)22:04Yeahx2

The finale of Destiny is completely different depending on whether you watched it when it aired or not.
It’s completely different now.

27: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)22:07

>>23What the hell… We can’t connect because I’ve only seen the remastered version…

24: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)22:05Yeahx6

It’s often said that the Earth branch after MA is the hardest.

30: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)22:10Yeahx1

>>24In the first place, isn’t it that there was no need to separate them, and didn’t that frustration explode afterwards with MA?

25: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)22:07

When considering Seed Destiny without the scene of the memorial monument from Final Plus, there were indeed issues.

26: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)22:07

Binge-watching and binge-reading can be tough, but you can quickly move on to the next one…

28: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)22:08

At the time of Destiny, I was just watching it with a normal vibe, thinking “Go, Kira!”

31: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)22:11

I could predict that the Kira faction would achieve a great victory, but the fact that they managed to defeat the chairman almost without any injuries and without having to directly intervene is just too convenient, don’t you think…?

33: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)22:12Yeahx3

I looked up the broadcast version of the finale, you know…
I was surprised to read that there isn’t a scene where Kira and Shin face off, thinking “isn’t it great for me…”.
Well, if that’s not there, it would get rough…

34: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)22:13

Rather, I like the Earth Branch arc of Iron-Blooded Orphans the most…
What’s up with Takaki and Aston? They’ve both got pretty good characters, haven’t they…

37: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)22:14Yeahx2

>>34I understand that it’s heavy and painful, but that’s precisely why I think the depiction of child soldiers in the war is done quite well.

35: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)22:13Yeahx2

I think the direct reason that “Don’t stop!” became a joke later, with comments like “Wasn’t it cured?” is because of the ‘Tendon Hitman’ gag.
What the hell… The official just came by and hit us with a follow-up, didn’t they…

38: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)22:16Yeahx10

I believe that in the end, the one who enjoys wins.

40: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)22:18

Isn’t it a bit strange how McGillis’s IQ suddenly dropped too much in the second season of Iron-Blooded Orphans? I couldn’t enjoy it because of the significant difference in quality between the first and second seasons.

41: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)22:18

>>40What happened from the point when you started talking about Bael…? That’s what I want to know…

44: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)22:21Yeahx1

It’s fine to become a Bael lover, but it’s completely unexpected given the initial dry, cool, and good-natured attitude…
I wanted you to show a more romantic and childlike side of yourself from time to time…

45: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)22:21

There are some that don’t require you to wait a week, but knowing the ending removes the expectations and anxieties, allowing you to focus on the process, which changes your perspective…

49: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)22:22Yeahx2

>>45When you summarize it, there are definitely plot points that are properly touched upon, and you can watch it without forgetting those.

46: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)22:22

In reality, Bael’s influence was effective, so it’s not that he has a low IQ.
If we had killed Gaelio, that wouldn’t have been the end of it.
There are reasons why I couldn’t kill.

52: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)22:24

>>46It had an effect on the young officers, but I think the reason the elders of the Seventh Stars remained neutral was simply due to their opportunistic nature and their unwillingness to participate in the plan.

48: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)22:22

Isn’t Jazz Ray’s brother in a dangerous position with a shooting and assassination happening right in the boss’s territory…?

50: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)22:23

At the time of the broadcast, there was a lot of excitement, for better or for worse, but when you look back at it calmly later, your perspective changes…

63: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)22:26

>>50I think it’s a pattern where the overheating leads to overestimation, and the mid-course decline and contradictions associated with a focus on being talk-worthy are underestimated…
But since I gained something from the overestimation, I don’t really feel sorry for them…
In fact, works that are ultimately criticized tend to attract more fans than those that are actually plain.

54: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)22:24

On the contrary, I feel confused because Zeke Axxus, who has been enjoying at the same level as everyone else until now, suddenly can’t keep up in episode 7 and feels left behind…
I should just quietly walk away, but when it actually comes to being the one left behind, it’s really tough…

82: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)22:35Yeahx1

>>54Whether good or bad, it feels like the viewers are getting too heated, so taking it slow and following later might be one way to enjoy it, don’t you think?

55: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)22:24Yeahx3

It can be described as a biography or a kind of epic drama that depicts the rise and fall of the Iron-Blooded Orphans.
I quite like the overall arch-shaped story structure, regardless of the individual parts…

68: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)22:28Yeahx1

>>55I think it’s a well-crafted story that begins at a Mars base and ends with its destruction at the Mars base…

75: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)22:32

>>55Including side stories, you can also hear tales about the group from the outside, so it really becomes an epic perspective.
In the main story, it’s a bit hard to understand, but these guys have a huge social impact.

56: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)22:24Yeahx2

The sight of someone trying to escape after fishing for gold from a safe and then falling apart is something I wanted to see in a blood-and-iron manner.

57: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)22:25

>>56The environment is a bit off, yet the sensitivity is rather normal.

59: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)22:25

>>56It seems that in the initial plan, they intended to have some infighting among the allies too…

60: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)22:25

>>56They are the ones who tried to use us as a shield to escape, so they did it right from the start…

66: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)22:27Yeahx2

>>56That’s because the president of CGS did it… It’s so uncool that I can’t imitate it…

58: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)22:25Yeahx2

>>39Ryousawa’s sister also acknowledges in the interview that Final Plus is the form originally envisioned for the final episode…
What’s going on? The production site is a mess…

61: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)22:26

>>58It’s impossible to prepare a sequel to Gundam in just a little over a year…

64: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)22:26Yeahx5

If a thread is created with good intentions, the responses and the flow will also be positive…

65: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)22:27Yeahx1

The Final Plus and Spec Edition, which have various added scenes, have been around for 20 years, so it’s difficult when only the HD remaster and the last episode of the original broadcast are compared…

69: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)22:28Yeahx1

In other words, having this changes how you perceive things, right? So depending on what you’ve seen, your impressions can vary quite a bit.
And sometimes I see them adjusting things when their stories don’t match.

71: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)22:32Yeahx10

It is hopeless to expect dignity from people like this.

72: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)22:32

I know there are various opinions, but I really like the part where Julietta finally says, “They were people who were desperately struggling to live too.”

78: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)22:33

>>72I guess Juliatta should have appeared from the first season, right?

73: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)22:32

Yada yada yada

74: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)22:32Yeahx1

What the heck, it’s a friendly thread but the atmosphere is so bad…
I want Gundam to not get too close to Orga…

76: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)22:33

AGE has some favorite mobile suits and developments, but I couldn’t pilot them during the Flit arc…
I like the Asem arc, but there were parts where I had to comment, like “Don’t touch that enhancement device called Muessel? Absolutely don’t touch it…”

77: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)22:33

I love the Seed series, but I can’t help but think that 80% of the battles in the latter half are just bank shots, which is a bit concerning.

80: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)22:34

>>77I think it’s questionable to have the mindset that it has to be new animation every time…

79: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)22:34Yeahx13

If you can’t even match the endings or use standard forms, you probably seem bothersome in other threads as well…

81: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)22:35

The first time I watched Gundam in real time was with Mercury, but I enjoyed watching it all the way to the end normally…

83: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)22:35

It’s often said, but I think that Iron-Blooded Orphans would have been sufficient with less than a full 10 episodes instead of a 4-cour format…
If you properly focus on the Iron Flower Corps and cut out the unnecessary parts, I won’t say there won’t be any complaints, but…
I think I was able to create a pretty good short story.

84: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)22:36Yeahx1

It’s us who got hit by being too fixated on hand-drawn without any banks, resulting in a reduction in battles themselves…
That’s also a bit of a problem, to be honest.

90: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)22:38Yeahx2

>>84Personally, I think it’s more important to have a strong impression, so I believe in quality over quantity…

85: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)22:36Yeahx2

What the hell… it feels like saying people can understand each other is a lie…

88: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)22:37

>>85Not just in Iron-Blooded Orphans, Gundam is a story of discommunication…

112: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)22:42

>>88In the first place, there are hardly any named enemies.
No one wants a conversation, so we were just barking at each other in the cockpit…
Isn’t it just a struggle for survival of beasts before communication…?

86: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)22:36

In the final battle of the HD remaster, the scenes that aren’t in the bank are mostly taken from Final Plus…
What’s up with the OP video? They really put in a lot of effort to make it, huh…

87: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)22:36Yeahx1

In the end, it’s consistently uncool to keep diverting the conversation to the points where I could poke at you while continually avoiding the fact that I was wrong to lash out.

89: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)22:37Yeahx8

To be honest, it’s harder to dislike an anime once you’ve watched it all the way to the end…
Once the final episode is over, all I can think about are my favorite scenes, lines, analyses, and what-if scenarios…

91: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)22:38Yeahx4

Once you enter the mode of being criticized, you get poked at even the most irrelevant things, and it just keeps on coming…
Looking back, it feels quite like nitpicking…

92: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)22:38

Isn’t Dortmund able to do it now?

99: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)22:40

>>92I think Dortmund has quite a few highlights in terms of characters, you know…
I love the look on Mika’s face when she found Atra after being kidnapped.

93: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)22:39

I’m also watching it right now and I’m on episode 14, and it’s pretty interesting.
It’s just that there seems to be a bit less combat, but that’s probably a matter of personal preference.

94: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)22:39

I’m convinced by the outcome, but 50 episodes is too long to accept a defeat ending…
Even though it’s their own fault, I can’t help but feel a certain attachment to the Tekkadan…

95: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)22:39Yeahx2

It’s better to stop arguing while pretending to be the leader Emu, as it looks silly from the outside…

96: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)22:39Yeahx1

It’s not just utterly insignificant; it’s being fabricated and distorted through a game of telephone.
Iron-Blooded Orphans received both official criticism and complaints, so to speak…

109: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)22:41

>>96It is a Great Mechanic that has been arbitrarily fabricated and distorted as a source in a summary of non-official or rough kind.

97: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)22:39

I sensed something ominous in the first episode of the first season, so I binge-watched the second season later on…
What the hell… I don’t understand why everyone is making such a fuss…
These days, I’m kinder than the people who were excited back then…

101: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)22:41

It was unexpected for Leader Olga to become this popular…

102: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)22:41Yeahx2

It’s too simplistic to think of it as political correctness just because she’s a female protagonist…

103: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)22:41Yeahx3

Whether or not there are parts where I want to express likes and dislikes is a separate matter…
I love this work, but this part is weird! Or I don’t like this work, but this part is good… There are various opinions, so I wish people wouldn’t easily polarize.

107: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)22:41

>>103Because it’s a hassle…

121: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)22:43Yeahx1

>>103For example, I generally like “Iron-Blooded,” but I can understand the sentiment of wishing that certain characters had lived, which leans towards a more negative opinion…

133: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)22:46

>>121Personally, I think that McGillis messed up or rather that he was overconfident in Bael, which made the plan not go well, and I feel that the fact that Tekkadan is not the main focus is a bit disappointing…
That said, I can’t imagine a scenario where the Tekkadan messes up and fails to take control of the Gjallarhorn.

105: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)22:41

Thinking that you can hide your stupidity just by being the leader is so foolish…

106: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)22:41

The rest was still fine, but the interaction between Mika and Orga ended with both of them being in a complete state of mental shutdown, which was the worst part…

127: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)22:45

>>106Is that so…? These guys are hard to understand! But I wonder if they’re mutually thinking and carrying heavy burdens.

145: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)22:51

>>106It’s true that we are the best of understanders of each other, but…
Why did Mika decide to share her fate with Olga, who is in a deep pit of despair, without trying to stop her?
I wanted a depiction that would help me understand properly…

108: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)22:41

Dort is a pretty important story, or rather, it’s a microcosm of the power structures in that world…

117: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)22:43

>>108Because the economic sphere is more vicious than Galalhorn…

111: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)22:42

If you just said sorry, it would be enough to forgive you, but continuing to make excuses is just ridiculously lame…

113: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)22:42

I want to win at the Uru’s Hunt in Sieg Mercury.

115: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)22:42Yeahx2

>>110Did you come from another world?

118: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)22:43

Bael…

119: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)22:43

What’s going on… you showed up suddenly…

122: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)22:43

It’s always the less intelligent ones who like tone policing…
What the hell… isn’t that just an excuse for twisting the conversation?

123: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)22:44

Well, it’s okay, this guy can die anyway.

124: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)22:44

You understand that someone who shows their ID is not a customer but a troll, right?

126: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)22:44Yeahx5

>ID:y21ohFa2>>114It’s because you’re the one with poop on you that disappears…

128: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)22:45

It was shocking that Orga is a Gundam character.
Yeah, that’s true…

130: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)22:45

>>128Wait!

134: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)22:47

>>130Shut up, you guys!

135: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)22:47

>>130Somehow, Olga is Olga, right?
If we’re not careful, Gundam is so well-known that it could compete with the IP itself…

131: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)22:46Yeahx1

>>128Wait!

136: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)22:47Yeahx2

It’s fine to delete the person who can’t apologize, but I don’t understand why you would delete the person who was bitten as well…
What the hell… Doesn’t everyone here have quite a low IQ?

138: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)22:48

>>136Isn’t “Nanashi” a space mouse?

142: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)22:49Yeahx2

>>136It seems that the ones who became victims of the world are like the Tekkadan…
What the hell… The bulletin board is rotting too…

149: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)22:53

>>136But yeah, since there are a lot of them… isn’t it fine if those who aren’t lucky get erased together as a form of mutual punishment? Ride on!

137: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)22:48

Baal!

140: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)22:49Yeahx1

This is my first time seeing a thread get this out of hand, so I didn’t know which posts to delete and which to keep…
I really want to say I’m sorry…

144: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)22:50Yeahx2

>>140I understand that if you’re going to create a thread about Gundam, you need to be prepared, right?

146: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)22:51Yeahx3

It’s inevitable that someone without a name is dumber than me…
What a management… they have…

147: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)22:51

What are you doing, captain!?

148: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)22:52

Shut up, you guys!
