Why does Season 2 seem to be so universally reviled on Yas Forums? To be honest, I liked the whole concept of Tekkadan trying to expand too hard too soon, shitting the bed, and ending up being scattered to the wind .
Is it because it's pretty much a 'semi-bad' end, which is rare in Gundam?
My only real qualms with the whole thing were the fact that Gaelio was still alive and Miyazuki going full Eva-02 in the finale

I dropped IBO when everyone who "died" against Ein was alive at the end of S1.
I couldn't really tell you, user. I'm a huge fan of both seasons.
Yeah, that was bullshit, especially when Shino manages to do it twice. Still, pretty standard for Gundam, especially when you consider how many 'dead, but not really' moments Wing had
I was pissed because Rustal was an utter scumbag who got away with the same tactics he damned his opponents for.
And they acted like that dumbass underling was an acceptable "win" for Tekkaidan. Or that getting back at their former sponsor for betraying them dealt with Rustal coming out a goddamn hero for that bullshit.
I was fine with them having it all catch up with them and end badly, it was just Rustal getting his dick sucked by the show at the end that made it shitty to me. Not a Pyrrhic victory, not him getting his comeuppance or even inconvenienced.
Someone said the director hated Tekkaidan and personally had a role in Rustal's plotline and I could believe it.
Why, because it's a revolting piece of shit.
Not as bittersweet as G Reconquista MC not getting to bone his sister
Yas Forums just hates it because it saved gundam after tomino killed it with Greco
Rustal was a fucking dirtbag, but I thought he was pretty open about the fact that he was a dirtbag (i.e. blatant use of the Dainslief, because fuck 'em).
And I did like the little epilogue where they explained that he was essentially forced to restructure it as a properly democratic organisation.
The dumbest thing about the whole ordeal is that Gallarjorn bringing their own civil war under control actually boosted their credibility and standing with the public. Fucking what? It's like a guy shooting himself in the foot and then congratulating him when he bandages it up.
Yeah, but he didn't personally suffer any losses or real issues either. So basically, the asshole bad guy wins and ends up doing the shit he killed the other side for anyways.
It's...kinda shit. Has no real narrative payoff with all the sacrifices Tekkaidan made outside of Atra having Mika's kid. Even Kudelia seemed irrelevant compared to Rustal.
