Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans

This is the ultimate statement on class warfare. It shows the horrifying physical toll of upward mobility and how the elites ultimately co-opt working-class revolutions. A cynical, brilliant, and realistic end to the season.

The perfect ending. A fitting conclusion to all the hard work, sacrifices, and everything they've gone through up until now. Aside from the ending itself, I really feel for Gaelio. The betrayal is hard to come to terms with. Overall, Season 1 is definitely worth watching and highly recommended!

Three days of nonstop battle—it's exhausting, but that's what makes this such a great episode to watch as they push toward their final destination. More sacrifices have to be made to complete their mission, and the most exciting part is definitely the showdown between Mikazuki and Ein!

The battle is brutal and satisfying, but at the same time, I can't help feeling the same way as Merribit. Those kids who came out to watch the battle had to witness the harsh reality of the adult world. It's a really mixed feeling, but it's definitely worth watching nonetheless.

An emotional and heavy episode. Orga can't seem to move on from what had happened, while Mika continues to push him forward. The slower pace works well after everything that just happened, as everyone needs some time to process it all and cool down. Be sure to watch this one if you want a little breather before what's shaping up to be something big in the next episode!

The battles are great, and Tekkadan's strategy to escort Kudelia and Makanai out is really exciting to watch. Everything seems to be going smoothly and according to plan, but then things take a turn for the worse at the end... Definitely an important episode you don't want to miss.

They made it safely, and it feels like everything is finally over—but nope, there's still more trouble waiting for them. Biscuit's sudden decision is definitely going to have a big impact on Tekkadan's future, and I wonder how they'll deal with it. The next episode looks like it'll have even more action, so stay tuned to see what's next for Tekkadan!

What a battle! As they make their way to Earth, they're forced to face countless enemies trying to stop them. The action is intense and exciting from start to finish. Definitely an episode you don't want to miss!

This may be a small victory, but it doesn't really feel like one. We also get to see Kudelia grow as a character, slowly maturing from all the things she's seen and learned along the way. The pacing is a bit slow, but it's necessary after everything that happened at the Dort Colonies.

The first half of this episode is a complete massacre, showcasing just how ruthless Gjallarhorn can be. It's dark, brutal, and hard to watch at times. Meanwhile, the Maiden of the Revolution finally makes her decision, and Tekkadan dives straight into action. Definitely stay tuned for what's coming next!

This episode shows just how powerful Gjallarhorn is. They have everyone covering for them while putting the blame on union workers, Tekkadan and, most importantly, Kudelia. Definitely an important episode to watch if you want to see what move the Maiden of the Revolution makes next!

This episode is kinda hard to watch. The violence, the betrayal from someone you trusted the most—it really hits hard. For those who watch it, knew that character seemed fishy from the start, and the truth is finally revealed in this episode. Great buildup for the next episode!

In this episode, we can see that things are about to get messy. Between Gjallarhorn, the political issues, and Tekkadan being caught in the middle of it all, trouble is brewing. What starts off as a calm episode with some shopping and relaxing moments quickly turns into a mess in the second half. Be sure to watch it, or you'll miss some important details!

The aftermath of the battle hits hard. These kids have never held a funeral before, so this is their first time going through something like this. This episode really hits differently—the emotions and the feels are all there. If you're not in the mood for a sad episode, you might want to skip most of the second half. That said, there's an exciting moment at the end, hehehe!

A heavy episode. I didn't really like how things turned out, but the battle strategy was pretty good. As expected from the space rats, as Tekkadan called themselves. The pacing was solid too—definitely not an episode to miss.

Another Human Debris is introduced, and this time it's someone closely related. What a sad reunion. You can already tell a big battle is brewing from this episode, so it's definitely not one to miss. Also, what an entrance by Mikazuki!

The pacing is a bit slow, but it's necessary setup for the next episode. We get to see the backstories of some Tekkadan members and what led them to where they are today. If you're interested in their backgrounds, this episode is worth watching.

A very important episode not to miss. Tekkadan finally has a "brother" they can rely on as they continue on their journey. It's also heartwarming to see everyone enjoying themselves together during the little night party. A really wholesome episode!

Good pacing! Everyone is doing their part well—Mika and Akihiro with their training, and Orga and Biscuit dealing with the political stuff. Remember, they're just kids facing an adult world, and they're doing really well

Great action scene! Tekkadan had to face the space mafia directly under the company they wanted to negotiate with. Mika is struggling with Barbatos because of its reactor issues, and Akihiro is taking on two enemies at once—just wow! The pacing is really good too!
