| Well, i see that some people are tired that the good guys get killed while people like Iok keeps cheating death non-stop. Not gonna lie, that teasing is a little bit annoying, not enough to lower my score but damn. |

| The series did kind of dip in quality than what people expected from the finale, I am pretty dissapointed with the direction in some places though the new episode kind of quelled some concern but not all with what it was going for. Frankly i think theres a bit of a missed opportunity with the current events, it'd of worked better if it had more episode to flesh out rather than just be the grand finale, i get that this is likley going for a full casualties ending to emphasis the series theme of consequences for rushing into things but I just feel like there was ample opportunity to flesh this out more than what we are getting. That is preventing me from giving the series a 9 like i had hoped. Also mcgillis is a bit dissapointing too, while predictable it would of been better to just have made him betray tekkadan and be the final fight than to kind of make him job in the final episode, its very likley he will just die next episode too, |

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
| Maybe they forgot this was gundam and mass murder happens all the time. Nobody is safe, RIP Orga |

Consumed said: Maybe they forgot this was gundam and mass murder happens all the time. Nobody is safe, RIP Orga Yeah, when this happened my reaction was, "Oh shi- ...oh right, Gundam." |
| It's not the fact that Orga died, many predicted it, after all, it's the way he died, pointless and for the sake of Mika's character development when Mika's been the same for 2 whole seasons and it's only 2 eps left. It's shock value for the sake of shock value, and it's just not a good writing. Worse yet, it's not happening just with Orga. Mika went ooc at the plot demand taking shit from Julietta and not even trying to finish her off even though it's his iron clad rule to make sure his opponents are dead, McGillis losing all of his season 1 character along with all of his brains apparently, Kudelia being farthest thing away from the eponymous Maide of Revolution or even from her own season 1 character, Atra being reduced to Mika's semen bag and nothing else... the list is long. |
| ったく、嫌な世の中だよ。 |
| I love this series so much, and i'll give score 10/10. Maybe many people forget that, this series is a drama like the other of serial gundam. I think the death of Orga bring the story to the epic ending. The drama in this series is so great! |
| It has gone downhill. Season 1 was basic, yet decent and I did enjoy it but like most Gundam series, season 2 is worse. The females here are even less significant than 00, they just serve the purpose of harem and romance. Take Kudelia for instance, I expected to see an actual leader, she has been known as the 'Maiden of Revolution'... And what she thinks? If she should have Mikazuki's kid and take care of Atra's kid. The whole kid dialogue is cringy, unless it is metaphorical, (even Wing's lines are 10x better than that-- mind you, Heero) and the death after death is just an **pull for tears. Not to mention majority of season 2 has been boring, so they had to continue with drama by killing characters. |

Noice said: Suppose I even agreed with you about Orga. But what about almost every other important character, the nerfs, the idiot balls they're taking, the sheer ridiculousness of it all? The writing has gone bad so much it's almost painful to watch. Like the poster above noted, even Wing and Heero were less cringeworthy, and even 00 treated its female characters better, and that's saying something. It looks like IBO is just killing off its characters because it doesn't know what else to do with them. This Gundam had the potential to be very good, yet it's going downhill so fast that friggin G-Reco will probably be the better show by the end of it.*snip* |
| ったく、嫌な世の中だよ。 |
| The issue with the writing is that most of the cast is severally underwritten and underutilized, and with the main "villains" tier of plot armor their deaths look like cheap, manipulative emotional punches more than anything. Shino for example had been largely irrelevant all season, suddenly he got screen-time and development in episode 20-21 (and half of that development was done post mortem), after that he faded out of existence, not even a passing mention from anyone despite being one of the most connected Tekkadan's members. Eugene barely had a presence all season, Akihiro fared a little better as far screentime goes, but not much. The season had better pacing and more action than S1, they removed Kudelia, but on other hand most characters just ran around like headless chickens all season waiting to get killed and characters' relationships largely disappeared. |

| I really loved the first season and I'm enjoying this season as well but I've to admit that some episodes were quite underwhelming and I feel that Mikazuki's character has changed. Orga's death was kind of expected, IMO, but maybe not that way. However, his death won't be a reason for me lowering the score. I did like Orga and I'm sad that he's gone but sadly I didn't feel all that sad at the death scene. The most memorable and touching deaths for me in this series are Biscuit, Naze and Amida's. Another disappointing thing is how Kudelia has been handled this season. I was satisfied when she started to realize that she wants to protect Tekkadan as a whole and that she regards them as family and not just Mikazuki but then we see that she's still vulnerable when it comes to him and it seems that she still can't get over him. So instead of moving on with her original plan, she opts to play house with Mikazuki and Atra. Kudelia isn't really my type of character but it's a shame that she was reduced to being one of Mikazuki's women. I thought she would be more proud but oh well. So yeah, the second season is a bit underwhelming compared to the first, which isn't really a surprise since most mecha anime are this way. |
| This show has basically turned into everyone dies: the anime. |
| Not sure why you even consider this is a very good series, at most max 8/10. If you have watched all the other gundam series, you know Orphans is just above average. I mean seriously, the story is just so so and members rate it high mostly because of Mika's opness. |
| I already know the characters are going to die. It just got really boring for me. |
| if Iok survives this bullshit i dont know what im gonna do! |

| It's because this show turned from THE premier action series to "Tekkadan's Litty Pity Party". I'm aware Gundam is famous for being a kill-all series... but the way this show is doing it, it's just emotional manipulation. It comes off as so forced when the entirety of S1 and the first half of S2 was showing that IBO was "different" from your typical Gundam show - when it showed that the heroes were clever pragmatists and such. This was even further reinforced with S1's final battle where Mika shrugs off Ein's classic villain madman speech. It's not that Orga's death alone caused the dip in the ratings - it's the breaking point when watchers decided this shit was enough especially since everyone who we even remotely cared about is dead and it was all so Mika could get off his ass. So why even follow the adventures of those dudes we don't give a damn about? One of my highly rated Gundams - Zeta - was also a kill-em-all series but I didn't churn my dinner over their quality of death. So something is obviously awry here. It's a Shaggy Dog Story of the highest order... and I regard those kinda stories in drama form the worst. |

| Because honesly, we're at the end and this all seemes pointless. Which might be exctly what Okada wanted, but this is not what I wanted from a Gundam. I want my Gundam shows to end at least somewhat triumphantly, or at least have something meaningfull happen. IBO 2nd season has been.... meaningless. |
 |
| Im actually surprised the score is still this high. If this seasons gets a higher rating then the first I will finally give up my hope with MAl ratings. So far every death in season 2 was pointless. Characters appear and disappear because .. MC has still not a single percent of character developement. Everyone dying is just not what I want from a Gundam with abused kids. Like. Why am I even watching this? Not even the fights are good anymore. |
| "This emotion is mine alone. It is for Madoka alone." - Homura or how I would descripe Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica. |
| iok is the only anime character i want to die more then griffth. His plot armor and that of the other villains is ruinning the show for me. if he does not die and all of tekkaden dies at the end of the series I will feel like I wasted my time. this show is on a tightrope for my rating I want to know that watching these forty episodes has some meaning to it. |
