Couldn't have said it any better myself. I loved IBO and while i wish it had ended differently I'm far more than satisfied it ended the way it did. As soon as i read "continuation" i was in full nope mode but if its a sequel I'm 100% down for that. The original gundams were supposedly named after the Ars Goetia meaning theres 72 gundams in total and we've seen like 15? maybe 20 at most? Theres alot of gundams left to sell new toys and I would absolutely want to see the origins of the Calamity war and Agnika Kaieru founding Gjallarhorn. Plus why did McGillis think Agnika Kaieru's 'soul' resided in Bael. It can't have been because he read it in a storybook as a kid. Lastly The only mobile armor we see is theorised to be named after 1 of 10 angels in Judaism. If the themes of religion continue (and i don't see why it wouldn't) thats at least 9 other potential Mobile Armors to monetize- i mean explore. tl;dr Direct sequel would be a horrible idea but a prequel is desperately needed. |

Is the studio that handled IBO up to the task suggested by the prequels?

Okay to be clear the final deaths of season 2 were pure unadulterated shock value. Don't anyone tell me that spoiler[ Lafter's death wasn't that cause it was & so was Orga's.] Just wanted to get that out of the window.
Also to those questioning how a sequel would work when season 2 had a finality I think your all forgetting what franchise this is. The UC is basically sequel after sequel or side-story where once a new evil organization is dealt with another rises to take its place & kick-start a whole new war or conflict & this all happens within only a couple of years after the previous show. Then there's Seed Destiny which started only a couple years after Seed which basically did that, new organization comes in & starts a whole new conflict/war. Don't forget the recently announced 00 sequel which is also a direct sequel to the original 00. I'm just saying here, this has happened before so don't be surprised by it. Some new guy will come in maybe from one of the unimportant blocs or Mars maybe & start up a whole new war. If this does happen then hopefully they take out Rustal & Juilietta..... okay maybe just Rustal, that bastard deserves to die a miserable death & if he were to bite it then IBO's ending wouldn't bother me much anymore. |

This could go big if it is:
Calamity War Prequel or Almiria and Ride Counter Attack Imagine if Almiria and Ride team up to kill Rustal, could be a fun show. Or even better, colony drop at Rustal place. I genuinely hope it won't be about Atra's son. |

Probably a prequel story considering the scenario has the best potential for more gunpla merchandize sales imo.
I am really surprised at the amount of people who are bothered by the Season 2 ending. The protagonists spoiler[made the same mistakes many of the previous villains made against them by trying to kill someone stronger without much of a plan] and this is the logical conclusion that also fits in with the realistic setting of the series. spoiler[When you try to kill someone in search of wealth and power, it is not surprising that individual is going to retaliate against you and make sure it does not happen again.] Seriously, people need to stop this double standards and get over it. |

OK, I can admit that spoiler[Lafter's death] can be considered shock value. It was a move used to rile up Tekkadan to action, and in turn riled up the audience. spoiler[Orga's death] however, can be debated. spoiler[When destroying an organization, the logical solution would be "chop off the head and the body will die." Taking out the leader would cause the group to crumble from the inside, leaving them defenseless from an enemy attack. They must have been staking out places where Tekkadan frequented, that's the only way they were found so quickly. It's hard to tell if Nobliss Gordon was waiting specifically for a chance to take out Orga, or if he would have ordered his men to initiate the shooting of any Tekkadan members seen leaving the office. If he was waiting for that chance, then Orga's death could more likely be considered an assassination plotted behind closed doors where the audience was not privy to, which is why some viewers may consider his death to be for shock value] This is just my hypothesis, feel free to agree or disagree. Please don't think I'm attacking your opinion. |

I tried to enjoy IBO but the presence Yamagi's character was not only off-putting and uncomfortable but completely unnecessary since nothing was done with it anyway. Did we really need some fujoshi in a show made primarily for boys and barrages of political and spurious social allegories? It just kept lurking the back of my mind and I was asking all the way through 'WHY?!! WHY?!! WHY?!! WHY?!! WHY?!! WHY?!! WHY?!!"
Yeah, now I know to avoid Mari Okada's work in the future. |

Yes they did. I'd been consistently following Gundam since Wing first aired on Toonami, but I was pretty much done with the franchise after Sunrise and Bandai made it clear that they were going to devote way more resources to promoting shows like Build Fighters than shows like G-Reco. Then, Mari Okada's ability to write characters who appealed to more than just little kids brought people like me back into the franchise. Since IBO Season Two aired, I've bought close to a hundred kits and gashapon, and I'd probably stop if I thought that they'd never try stuff like Yamagi's story arc ever again. I want every Gundam series to feel like a different show, and part of that means experimenting with elements that some might find off-putting. |

the way how season two ended, ITS IMPOSSIBLE its going to be a sequel that's directly linked to that MESS of an ending with the whole "KILL EM ALL TOMINO STYLE!" approach!! my best bet is that it will be a prequel that takes place during the calamity war, or if GOD FORBID its a sequel, its decades after the events of that disaster!
any UC gundam fan would have told you that a long time ago considering that she was one of tomino's disciples! |

spoiler[When McGillis declared the beginning of his coup right after Tekkadan just finished dealing with Jasley's mercenary group, Orga had a choice of whether or not his group would join and assist McGillis in his coup d'teat in return for becoming rulers of Mars. That was the point of no return and despite the fact that they were supposed to be on equal footing as allies, Orga did not even ask McGillis about the specific details of the latter's plan until it was too late. When he found out that McGillis did not have one besides Muh Bael and that Tekkadan would have to actually fight all of Gallarjhorn this time, he unsurprisingly punched the latter in the face. It is McGillis's fault that he did not check Gaelio's status and while Gaelio wanted Rustal to wait indefinitely before revealing his treachery to the world, he did not come up with anything else other than what he already had and trying to use Tekkadan to brute force through the whole thing. If Tekkadan was smart enough to to stay out of Gallarjhorn's internal power struggle, they would not have lost anything and McGillis's coup would not have gone as far as it did.] |

The new series can be 5 years later just like what was done in Universal Century.

Conflicted, as I think for the most part, don't really need a sequel. Prequel a bit iffy on. Just depends on the characters. If they make use of certain ones that I was a fan of, I'll jump in.
