Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans Anime General Discussion Thread

[GN0010 Nosferatu]

So the show airs in 4 days, they really didn't show much the way of previews. Wonder if they have a TWEEST involved.

Wow, I'm glad there was a logical reason behind it.

[Rising Dragon]

At least they caught it before the airing.

Not sure, but we might be able to enjoy the series via Gundam.info/Youtube again like the previous GBF/T.

[Frontier]

I don't know, considering how they handled G-Reco, I'm not sure if they'll actually stream this for the US via their youtube channel. Or at least for most people .

Growing older does that IMO. Before you know it months pass by in an instant. When I was a kid new stuff felt like ages to come by.

G-Reco was the exception, considering that Gundam AGE, Build Fighters and Build Fighters TRY were all streamed on YouTube. Unlike with Try and G-Reco who shared a similar season, Iron Blooded Orphans is the only Gundam on the block for this year, so I'm betting we will see a simulcast of it.

[Crunchyroll] Daisuki to stream Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron Blooded Orphans.

Well, that solves that question.

Edit:

Gundam Global Portal has the rundown on all the legal streaming sites that'll have Iron Blooded Orphans:

So we'll have YouTube too as usual.

[Frontier]

Awesome .

[GN0010 Nosferatu]

Excellent, another series on YouTube. And none of that week later shit either.

Early Barbatos manual info. We've got fairy particles, enhanced humans and an illiterate protagonist.

-overall height:18.0m, dry weight:28.5t
-Gundam Barbatos: About 300 years ago, the Calamity War drove by humanity itself caused the civilization decline. Barbatos is an ancient MS produced in that era. Even with that era's technology mounting 2 Ahab Reactors and making them operate in parallel high output was extremely difficult, so 72 machines using a Gundam Frame fuselage were rolled out. All of those 72 machines have an individual name registered to them, Barbatos' Gundam prefix is a rare name for a MS to bear. The burden on the pilot is high due to the high output and high maneuverability, however it's mitigated by the implementation of Inertial Control due to the use of Ahab Particles generated from the reactor when a phase transition occurs inside its vacuum device. The cockpit structure is positioned in front of the reactor to take advantage of this. Among the same frame machines, Barbatos has been adjusted for an emphasis on versatility, it has the potential to adapt to every circumstance by performing exchanges of all sorts of equipment.
-Mikazuki Augus: boarded the Barbatos when Gjallarhorn attacked the CGS HQ facility then became its pilot. He has received the Alaya-Vijnana(storehouse consciousness concept from Buddhism) System surgical treatment 3 times and still returned alive. This system grants excellent spatial awareness and since ancient MS require rapport from an Organic Device Sytem, compatibility with Barbatos is very good. Inspired by Gjallarhorn attack, he participates with the mobilized children including Orga Itsuka in starting up Tekkadan. He has never been to school and can't read properly.
-Mace: Physical destruction weapon made from a high hardness rare alloy used in MS frames. As MS use Nano Laminated Armor for protection, such striking weapons are considered to be effective. Its pointed end has an spear-like stick out injection mechanism.
-Long Sword: Sword used by MS training at Teiwaz's HQ ''Jupiter'' factory. It shows its superiority during localized attacks because it's easy to handle due to its lightweight.
-Gauntlet: already equipped when Barbatos was discovered on Mars. Thought to be an original Barbatos exchangeable armament, not sure.
-1st Form: from the Calamity War around 300 years ago. Discovered in Mars' desert by Malva Arkay(CGS president). Since its Ahab Reactors were still in operational state it was used as the CGS HQ facility's power source until Mikazuki boarded it.
-4th Form: Based on ancient materials from the time of the Calamity War that had been recorded on Teiwaz's database, Barbatos' original shape reproduced by ''Jupiter'' technicians. Machine's weight balance stabilized because of additional armaments. Reactor output was improved too.

That all sounds like a lot of badass shit, good world building. Nice to get these types of tech details from kits again.

[Patriot's Blade]

so does that make Mikazuki essentially a Cyber Newtype? assuming there are no ill side effects from the procedure, i hope that one of his signature quotes is not "i don't know how to read books"

[Obelisk ze Tormentor]

So, after (child) Nicolas Brown from Gangsta this season, we'll get another badass kid who is illiterate. Nice .

Anyway, so my guess was right, the ridiculous mace (and probably Gusion & Kimaris’s weapons too) is made from rare alloy that can effectively penetrate MS’ armors. That reminds me of all the heavy weapons Delphine used in Broken Blade. Nice again.

Not sure if the Ahab Particles will be the GN Particles of this universe. Still, reading all that background info, I can’t wait to see them animated .

That's usually a sign that Funimation licensed it.

I'm honestly quite surprised they gave so much away in a HG. This is quite a lot.

I'm really liking the fact that they have Ahab Partivles and Ahab Reactors and parallel systems.
