Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans is an anime series produced by Sunrise and directed by Tatsuyuki Nagai. The show, which aired from October 4, 2015, to March 27, 2016, in Japan, has also been licensed for international streaming by Daisuki. The series follows the story of a group of young soldiers called the "Tekkadan" as they fight for survival in a world torn apart by conflict and political intrigue.

The show is set in the future where humanity has expanded its reach across the solar system, but with the expansion has come new tensions and conflicts. The Earth Sphere, which is home to the majority of humanity, is ruled by a tyrannical government known as the Gjallarhorn. The Gjallarhorn holds a monopoly on advanced technology and uses its power to suppress the rights of the people living on the outer planets.

The Tekkadan are a group of young soldiers who have banded together to fight against the Gjallarhorn and protect their home. The group is led by Orga Itsuka, a charismatic and determined leader who is willing to do whatever it takes to achieve his goals. The other members of the group include Mikazuki Augus, a talented pilot who becomes the pilot of the Gundam Barbatos, one of the most advanced mobile suits in the series. There is also Atra Mixta, a kind and caring girl who supports the Tekkadan and has a close relationship with their leader Orga. Finally, there is Kudelia Aina Bernstein, a young Mars-born princess who becomes the symbol of hope for the Tekkadan and the oppressed people of the outer planets.

The storyline of Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans is complex and full of political intrigue. While the Tekkadan are initially seen as a group of mercenaries hired to protect Kudelia, they quickly become embroiled in a much larger conflict. The series explores themes of oppression, power, and rebellion as the Tekkadan fights to protect themselves and their cause. The show is not afraid to tackle complex themes and does an excellent job of exploring them in detail.

The animation in Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans is excellent. The series uses a mix of traditional animation and CGI to create a visually stunning world. The mobile suits themselves are beautifully designed, and the action scenes are choreographed to perfection. The battles in the series are intense and action-packed, and the series does an excellent job of balancing the action with character development and political intrigue.

The voice acting in the series is top-notch, with the English dub cast featuring talented actors such as Bill Rogers, Adin Rudd, and Landon McDonald. The voice acting in the series is crucial to the emotional impact of the story, and the actors do an excellent job of bringing the characters to life.

One of the best aspects of Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans is the character development. The series takes its time to explore the backstories and motivations of each character, giving the audience a real connection to each of them. The characters are complex and flawed, making them feel real and relatable. The character designs in the series are also fantastic, with each character having a unique look and personality.

Another highlight of the show is the music. The series features an excellent soundtrack that complements the story and the emotion of the scenes perfectly. The opening and closing themes are also fantastic, with both being well-suited to the show's tone and themes.

Overall, Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans is an excellent anime series that is well worth watching. It is an intense and action-packed story that explores complex themes and features fantastic animation, voice acting, and music. The series does an excellent job of balancing action, character development, and political intrigue, making it a must-watch for fans of the mecha and sci-fi genres.
