Weekly OP: Gundam IBO

To be honest, my favorite part of the newest Gundam’s OP is the first five seconds, which suggest a more soaring orchestral theme than the rock number we get, and “Raise Your Flag” by MAN WITH A MISSION isn’t anywhere near as stirringly awesome or operatic as “Daybreak’s Bell” (the 00 theme) by L’Arc-en-Ciel. But it is hella catchy and is quickly growing on me. There’s nothing in the gritty visuals to complain about, either.
