Zeta Gundam's first half is up for preorder, for those that are interested.

[Adelaide]

Just popping in to say that Iron Blooded Orphans is my new life.

Ya'll have already mentioned the delicious undertones of 08th MS and 00. This... just yes. So good. Also, hi everyone.

[Protoman Blues]

Hey Ares. And yes, I am really enjoying IBO!

[Fxeni]

It's been pretty consistently good so far, which is a good sign.

[Police Girl]

Zeta Gundam's first half is up for preorder, for those that are interested.

Should be noted that like the Bandai releases or any non-Japanese release Zeta will be sans original OP/ED themes because rights or whatever.

[Fxeni]

I'd prefer a console version, but I'll take what I can get!

[Sakura Leic]

Ugh I would so get that game if I had a Vita.  GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

[Fxeni]

Once it comes out, it'll take a very long time before it leaves my Vita, that's for sure.

[Sakura Leic]

Well I'll be sure to get it once I get a Vita in the far, far future......

[Protoman Blues]

Yeah, now I have a reason to get a Vita.

Okay yeaaaaaah, I'm fully on board with Gundam Bebop!!!!

This may seem kind of nerdy but I really liked seeing the insides of the ships in this-we only ever really see the bridge and hangers and a few hallways-this gives a better idea how the crews live in the UC stuff. Also dat music-character design---ehh I'm sure it'll grow on me, little too stylized for my liking.

[Dr. Wily II]

It's all a farce... It's really about jazz versus soul!

[Protoman Blues]

GO JAZZ!!! 

[Protoman Blues]

Well then! 

[Blue Valkyrie]

Well then! 

Well indeed! 

[Adelaide]

Came back for the ORPHANS NAMIDA. Definitely on my top 5 this season. Probably number 1 right now, actually... dat jazzy calmness.

As for Thunderbolt... not sure how I feel yet. Ya'll know how I am. I'll give it an honest go and come back with a one-liner or something. Nice to see this place isn't dead though~ Miss ya'll.

IBO's getting a second season. Coolio, assuming they keep up the quality and don't diverge too much (00, I'm looking at you).
