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
