Since we're doing our second IBO design in a row, let me just say... I really don't think the IBO Gekko movie is ever coming out. Or Iron-Blooded Orphans G or however they brand it. It's an adaptation of a failed game, coming from Sunrise (well, Bandai Namco filmworks, but let's not get pedantic), a production company that can't ship an anime to save its life. Literally, it can't. If the company was gonna run out of money tomorrow they would just have to accept it because they don't know how to make anime anymore.

Hathaway 2? Yeah, that'll happen. The first did very well and its sequel is eagerly anticipated. But this show based on a game that seems like it kinda sucked? I imagine that's just gonna fade into the background.

I've ignored this design for ages. At first blush (ha cuz it's pink), it really doesn't seem like anything special to me. But a closer examination reveals that this is actually a pretty awesome design, with a lot of cool stuff! And then there's the Hajiroboshi, which, sorry, I think I was pretty much right about. It's not bad! It's just... unremarkable, given its peers. What if an IBO gundam was pink and had no cool gimmicks. Ok. Put the Marchosias back on screen, please!

We should have never let Akutsu do the Castor & Pollux. I can't say for certain that that's where it all began- I haven't done my homework like that. But it just makes sense. He did those two-faced robots, those Janus-headed little jerks, and it just gave him a taste for reversible two-identitied designs that... I'm sorry, they're bad! There are some things to like about the Mirage Frame, but the two-faced elements just make it kinda crap. The Blazing, though! The Blazing rules.

I wish to rescind my earlier statement about Team Trinity: you do not, under any circumstances, "gotta hand it to them." Can you IMAGINE how annoying it would be to fight the Drei? Or rather, to fight whoever the Drei is with. The Drei itself, not a big deal. If you'll forgive me for that. But having all your sensors jammed... I needed those!

(Slapping the hood of an MMO) This baby can fit so much fanservice in it! More than just a few references to FFVI, Final Fantasy XIV is jam-packed with magitek armors from all over the history of Final Fantasy, including making some designs that weren't magitek into such. Sadly, it doesn't do much with the designs of Final Fantasy XV, but... well, there's always time.

Go little car, go! One-seater cars should be more common. ...Okay, no. Sorry. I like them aesthetically, but that's actually the exact WRONG way for society to go. I'm forgetting my socialist roots! Gotta center myself. Trains. More trains. Metros. Buses. Maybe a boat, boats can be good. Public transportation.

This machine is a friend, though.

It does break my heart that for practical, copyright reasons, I can't do themed music on here anymore. Final Fantasy VI was a very influential game for me, and I hold its soundtrack close in my heart. That said, this episode is vastly Type-0 by volume, so perhaps it should be that? The Theme of Ace or whatever? Never played it.

I suppose I can't fault the theming: these machines are, in fact, of a knightly aesthetic. Dylan makes the Shovel Knight comparison during this ep, and it's spot on. But something about it rubs me the wrong way. Not the designs- that's a whole separate matter. But these guys being called the Black Knights. Maybe it's just because they're Sauceless in Seattle? Not quite sure. I have encountered a lot of cool "black knight" characters, and these folks just don't rank.

These days, it's all about having extra legs. Think about it: more legs means more fun. Especially if they're incoms! Though actually, that brings up an interesting point of discussion: the Trinity's legs are remote weapons on wires. Classically, we call those "incoms." But the show calls them "leg funnels." There's also the classic example of the Nu Gundam's "fin funnels." By the original definitions, if it's disposable it's a funnel, if it's reusable it's a bit, and if it's on a wire it's an incom. So the Nu Gundam's fin funnels are bits!

Probably it is just a representation of how language evolves: over time, the distinction between "bits," "funnels," and "incoms" becomes less useful, and they simply all are called by the name of the most common form, the funnel. That's my guess. Also it's fun to shout "Funnels!"
