Review Iron-Blooded Orphans: Bukan sekedar robot adu jotos

 


Saya baru saja menyelesaikan tontonan 2 season Anime "Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans" di Netflix. Anime yang rilis pada tahun 2015 ini menceritakan tentang Mikazuki, seorang tentara bayaran dari perusahaan bernama CGS: Chryse Guard Security dan Orga sahabat dan boss dari Mikazuki.

Saya tahu kalau series Gundam itu tidak hanya sekedar robot-robot besar (mecha) yang saling bertarung. tapi lebih dalam dari itu, cerita tentang politiknya kental sekali. dan di series Iron Blooded Orphan ini tema politiknya sangat terlihat dan menjadi tema utama.

Diawali dengan penghianatan pejabat-pejabat CGS, Orga memutuskan untuk mengubah nama CGS menjadi Tekkadan "Iron Flower Brigade" setelah berhasil selamat dari serangan Gjallarhorn (perusahaan militer terbesar di timeline ini) karena Mikazuki memiloti Gundam Frame bernama Barbatos.

Mikazuki dan Orga berumur tidak lebih dari 20 tahun tapi dalam usia semuda itu, perjalanan hidup mereka dipenuhi dengan darah dan mayat. Mikazuki tak segan menembak kepala orang yang menghianati Orga atau Tekkadan.

Karakter yang kuat tidak hanya dimiliki oleh karakter Mikazuki dan Orga saja, tapi Biscuit, Akihiro, Shino dll sangat lovable dan membuat penonton tak ingin kerasnya jalan cerita merenggut mereka. 

Tapi sebagai persiapan, sediakan tisu yang banyak karena cerita tentang perbudakan (human debris), pengkhianatan, politik, dan revolusi di Iron Blooded Orphan tidak akan selalu berjalan lancar dan akan merenggut korban. Catatan saja, penulis Iron Blooded Orphan itu sama dengan penulis cerita Anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day. Jadi ya... siap-siap saja.

Secara keseluruhan, 2 Season sangatlah cukup. Ceritanya solid dan tidak bertele-tele. Saya tidak menyesal menonton anime ini sama sekali. Sedih, senang, menang, kalah, jatuh, bangkit. Kamu akan seperti naik Roller Coaster dan berharap setiap anggota Tekkadan selamat dari setiap bahaya yang mereka hadapi.

acceptance aka ac·cept·ance

  today I finally reach the age of 30. ten years ago, my naive and underdeveloped brain thought that I am gonna achieve greatness, that I am the main character, the chosen one. what a memory that is. I know that me. right now is just an NPC or extras or whatever somebody with no insignificance is called. I live a mediocre life and now I am not even sure if I still have ambition anymore. I wake up every day knowing that my day is gonna be mundane. and I didn't know when was the last time I felt excited. TLDR. Me and my life are boring. I am just a programmer with the bare minimum skill. I am gloomy and cowardly, hate working hard, and even though I know I should fight. in the end, I am just running away. and the sad part, I am okay with that. sigh. even I understand that my life is not *that* miserable. but my head keeps telling me that I am not worth it. I keep kicking grass in frustration. why am I like this. I wish I can accept this, I wish I have acceptance in my life. but my he...

Rest

I wish one day, far in the future, I can be like Thanos at the end of Infinity War movie.  Take a satisfying rest after all the hard work.  Feeling relieved to know a job well done.

My Life

I feel like this life is sucked balls. In my childhood, I didn't have much. We live in a small cottage inside the Elementary school complex because my dad is the guardian for the place. I don't have many toys and often always play in a friend's house because I am so awed by what they have. When the young adult me comes, I work in Jakarta for like six years. and still, feel like I didn't earn anything. I have invested very poorly in a house that too far from anywhere. and I sold it with a loss when the business I work with went under. after 6 years of working, I didn't even have life savings. And then, I work in Bandung, everything seems totally fine. until some dipshit of a person ruins my life. betrayed me and cost me not only financially but also mentally. I have tremendous debt and to make it worse, my dad is sick and needs to be operated quickly. Somehow I got through it. my dad is okay now. But right now. I feel like I have very little control over my life. I a...
