Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans Season 2 - News & Anticipation

[RRW]

Fall 2016

[deadite]

Hopefully Okada can dedicate herself fully for season 2 now that shes not writing Kiznaiver.

[Stark700]

I'm excited. A two course season break seems like it would work quite well to prepare and I expect another 2-cour of 25 episodes.

[SonicSP]

IBO wasn't perfect for me but nevertheless I'm really excited. The show didn't fulfill its full potential but I love the world and mobile suit designs, so having more is nice.

Besides, one needs an excuse to buy more gunpla.

[Irenesharda]

I'm so excited. I don't think we'll get much of a time skip unless they want to replace some of the cast. This series was built on the idea of child soldiers going against the powers that be. Orga is just at the cusp of adulthood at 17 and many of the others are 16+. I think we get a time skip of maybe a few months, but perhaps not even that. All it would take is Tekkadan getting attacked while on route home. But then you have to ask, who would be attacking them? Gjallerhorn is in shambles. McGillis would undo everything he was just trying to do by having Gjallerhorn attack them so I don't know who the enemy would be.

Also, didn't they mention that Tekkadan is going to be the new martian military advisiors or something like that? I'd like to see what they do with that.

Next season should be moving into a more bigger picture
A Gjallerhorn Reformation or the reclamation of their glorious day
The Independent of Mar and other various place

Various group with their own benefits will most likely make a move
we will need to wait and see how this will turn out

[Galaxian]

Two things: McGillis should get what's coming to him, and more Gundam frames!

[xeviouses]

Barbatos Upgrade!

Another remake of Gusion!

Mika vs McGillis!

Galigali alive...

Super E.I.N.Naught v2!

Curios as to where the plot will go this time though, everything seems to have worked out well for everybody in the end. So I guess it boils down to whoever backstabs first.

[Jestersage]

Since it's already like AZ, they should get Urobuchi involved.

If what he wrote for the first three episodes of Aldnoah is any indication, I'd rather stick with Okada-Nagai's team for IBO. Let Urobuchi make his puppet show first and then give him the reign to fully write/direct a completely new Gundam AU series to blow his load and wreak havoc .

Urobuchi's Gundam might have another Kyubey expy, possibly in the form of a Haro, a super technology that grants universe changing wishes, & a Gundam that turned its pilot into some godly being of hope & light.......

[GN0010 Nosferatu]

Beam weapons please. Or some sort of super heated round to bypass NLA. I've grown a little tired of all the melee stuff. Cut back on the Grazes too, or at least introduce more exotic variants...like...a Graze tank, or transforming plane type Graze, idk.

[deadite]

And remove what makes this show unique? No thanks I'd rather not be like other Gundam show. It's great that Gundams aren't super special suits in this one too.

[Wandering Soul]

Hope we get to see more Gundam Frames. Hopefully they will be able fit in a good amount of them during the second season.

I also want McGillis to get what he deserves.

Well, they are called GUNdams....now SWORDdams. But that's me. A lot of the fight choreography isnt exciting as well. A few long distance peashooting, the MS fly at eachother and take some swings, and then Mikazuki wins.

And the Gundams are defintely special uits. Twin Ahab reactors? Legends from the Calamity War?

and make Mika, an awesome calm, cool, collected, with actual character chemistry, hope-spots, and aspirations, to a utter empty shell of a character (Inaho).
HELL NO!!

The mechanical designers have already went out and said that beam weapons won't appear in Iron Blooded Orphans.

While I was a skeptic about it when the show came out, I personally love all the melee focus the show is having especially in the way they have written it in the mecha lore aspect. Nanolaminated Armor and melee are one of my favorite aspects of the mecha lore.

The Gundams are special units but their advantages are relatively far smaller than what they usually are in other shows. If we go into the deeper mechanical lore, they're even quite a pain in fact compared to units like the Graze despite having some advantages in a few specific stats.

If I had an issue with the battles, it would be that there isn't nearly enough of them. Lack of battles by itself may not be a bad thing for a show but I find most the things that it's replaced with fairly lacking. Some of the non battle episodes are handled really well while others are not.

[Kurohane]

I expect season 2 to overturn everything we think we know.

People who say this misread Inaho's character.

Transforming MS are fine, but please no beam weapons. They are boring and they are boring for decades now. This meele is breath if fresh air and IBO showed Gundam can go without these just fine. With beams there wouldn't be any room for best part of show. Actual tactics.

not this again....
well, unless the official site confirm death of galigali and ein, this won't stop

just let them death for the sake of newer antagonist in S2. I don't want IBO s2 becoming another 00s2 with too many inflated cast. causing so many characters suffers from lack of developmental
