He didn't want to become a youtuber, he just wanted to share his love for IBO

IBO is, to this day, the best gundam I ever saw. The level of tragedy and fall is amazing

the Imperial Japanese Army mobilized 1,780 schoolboys aged 14–17 years into front line service as an Iron and Blood Imperial Corps. during the battle of Okinawa. feel like there’s some kind a ties to that.

It was one of the finest Gundam series ever made hands down. I wish they would make a game based on it where you can make your own merc unit and the like.

This show, the OST.. probs one of the best scores of all ANIME in my opinion. You fucking feel everything. But the goul

I'm not even a gundam fan, but this was such an interesting watch

Bro made one video then left

I really dont understand why everyone hates season 2 so much. Its what made IBO not only my favorite Gundam series, but my favorite anime

During season one i thought it was ok, but season two really solidified the greatness of the show for me. I struggle to understand how divisive the show is with fans. My only conclusion is that there is a large segment of Gundam fans who only want a power fantasy and war drama and miss the core of the show. War is hell, power corrupts, and only cooperation leads to a better world. I actually believe IBO is probably the best executed and realized version of those core Gundam principles intended all those decades ago. That said it is a tough, sad pill to swallow.

IBO is the best gundam series ever put to film. it encapsulates everything that makes gundam series great then dials it to eleven with the most machiavellian writing possible. i dare say it is the single greatest writing in an animated series period. i say this as a 44 year old whose first exposure to gundam was gundam wing on toonami. not that this gives me any sort of authority, it does however make me and old man who has, in his time watched nearly every gundam series in history and since its my opinion and i felt like typing.... ta daaa

I loved it, theres a lot of ways IBO can be analysed, be it by its importance alongside other stories, its own tale in the context of the show or our world.

How as time has gone by, the series seems to gain more importance with the issues we are dealing with.

IBO is not only my favorite gundam show, but favorite anime in general.

IBO politics were like battletech inner sphere pre clan invasion.
Sure you got the great legendary house mech (Bael) who gives a damn it's symbol not a key.

If ever there was someone trying to convince someone else that Gundam anime is cool and can be watched and enjoyed by older adults (that's my Mom), this is the video to show them.  This has to be the best summary of my favorite TV show ever.  Keep up the great work!

Thank you for making this video essay. In our current times where all hope is lost, I’m reminded of how important it is to keep our humanity. That will guide us forward.

Comment for the comment gods

Good video. Honestly probably the realest Gundam show. Most Gundam shows will have you forget two episodes in that the main character and some other people around them are children and they just fade into being soldiers like everyone else. This one though, the entire time, I would constantly be like fuck....these are really just children fighting a war. Every death, even the most minuscule characters, just felt so much more impactful.

By far my favorite Gundam series.

this show literally is my magnum opus, i just joined the military because of this show. i understand that makes no sense but i have no belonging or community or sense of self, but this show proved that even people like me can find a place in this world. As well as the way they depicted a mlm relationship as a bi dude was so sweet and felt so honest. I will forever be indebted to this show for so may reasons. Thank you for the great coverage

Holy cow, man, this is your first video. This is very well done! I'm looking forward to more. Especially if it's more gundam.
