I'm rewatching Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans, a show that I considered one of the best in the franchise. Will it hold up?
Ep 01 was well done, definitely a different feel.
I do realize one thing though. Gundam IBO straight up OWES Broken Blade OVA (2010). I'll explain.

I've written about this OVA back in the day: ghostlightning.wordpress.com/tag/break-blad…
What you'll find here that's the most striking is how the Broken Blade mecha is basically the template for Gundam Barbatos: it's a melee-only mecha that's upgraded with different melee weapons from time to time

While I hold the Broken Blade OVA to be more inventive and have better fights altogether, I don't think it takes THAT much away from what Gundam IBO was able to do. It doesn't have to work with BB's magic, muggles, and mecha setting. It's a try-hard grimdark Gundam show.
