Whilst IBO has had fantastic animation, the mech designs and plot are horrendous.
With too many overarching political subterfuge going on and with no answers being given for all of them. It's even worse with appalling characters and rushed sequences that make the plot fall apart.
It had a strong start, but the writer relies on too many of the same plot devices. Repeatedly saying "suffering = good" doesn't make for a good story.
The entire story lacks cohesion and without any logical nuance, I just can't support this anime.
The story is not unique, we've seen it before and we're seeing it again. If you're into a lot of chaos and little plot relevance, I guess this is the anime for you.
