Mobile Suit Gundam - Iron-Blooded Orphans

300 years after a great conflict between Earth and Mars known as the "Calamity War," a woman named Cordelia sets out on a journey to Earth to speak for the independence of the Martian city of Chryse, which is under the control of the Earth government. Escorting her is the private security company CGS members Mikazuki Augus and Orga Itsuka. When a group named Gjallarhorn attacks CGS and Cordelia, Orga sees this as a chance to rebel against CGS and launch a coup. Mikazuki and Orga are thrust into a new conflict. To fend off Gjallarhorn, Mikazuki rides an old mobile suit from the Calamity War, powered by a nuclear reactor, the Gundam Barbatos.

Review date: Feb. 28, 2016

After a couple of serious misteps (Gundam AGE, Reconguista in G) and a couple of fun, albeit kid friendly, side series (Gundam Build Fighters and Gundam Build Fighters Try) we finally have a series that returns the series to its roots while also breaking several deeply grained traditions and tropes built into the franchise. Iron-Blooded returns to the style of some of the older Gundams, including one of the darkest settings outside of OVAs like Gundam Thunderbolt, the series also has a much greater focus on group dynamics and character interactions that have been missing from much of the series since the turn of the century. As of the date of this review 21 episodes out of a potential 26 have aired with rumours of a second season in the future. Hopefully those rumours turn out to be true, 'cause the first season has been fantastic so far.

Also, oddly, thanks to IBO sharing much of the same cast members as Aldnoah:Zero this series is probably better at being Aldnoah than Aldnoah itself was...
