Please do not blindly praise
tl;dr: Please stop just saying "Gundam show good". Voicing what we loved about a show alongside it's flaws is pretty important for a IP's development.
Preface: Apologies for offending anyone, I can be unintentionally brash and offensive. It is something I'm working on. Also, I know critical views in fan subreddits aren't exactly welcomed.
As much as I enjoyed Iron Blooded Orphans (mostly for the action, and my propensity towards all things mecha), IBO suffers from damn near ever anime trope I can think of. From the low tier Saturday morning level plot structure and dialogue, children protagonists (though IBO child protagonists makes sense), weird sex things surrounding said children protagonists, to the all too extremely common anime trope of [over explaining](https://www.reddit.com/r/anime/comments/8mgev4/anime_that_spell_everything_out/). Yet, I only ever see praise for the shows not to be considered trash.
I know I'm not the only one with issues surrounding modern anime, but I constantly see blind praises for Gundam content. Like, it's completely okay to really like things, but we want said things to also elevate from their flaws, right? The show runners are definitely reading and watching the community. Give them valuable feedback. Even amongst ourselves, let's have discussions on why we like or dislike x, y, and z without being circle jerky, or just jerks.
I know the ultimate target audience is not adults (anymore?), nor is it for adult sensibilities (anymore?), and the writers of the shows aren't exactly novelists, but damn; Gundam has such a wide range of fans, age wise. There's so much opportunity for a Gundam show to step out of the brand affinity weab-only base, and step up the same way Netflix's Castlevania did. Though, Castlevania isn't a anime that has a big merchandizing machine surrounding it.
In my mind, IBO should have been a mix of 'Lord of The Flies', 'City of God', 'Ballad of the Little Soldier', and 'Full Metal Alchemist'. What we got was mostly a okay at best Gundam show with dope mechas.
I know a lot of what I'm complaining about is exclusive to Japan's anime business. I know even some of Japan's creators of other mediums aren't exactly super stoked about the limitations. It even presents itself in [Japanese videogames](https://www.pushsquare.com/news/2020/07/yakuza_director_heaps_praise_on_ghost_of_tsushima_laments_restrictions_of_japanese_game_development).
