I mean, they are only 11 episodes away from the finale, and in episode 15 they introduce the masked villain... more episodes please! If they get 50 episodes, there is more than enough time for story and action to balance out, but as it stands now, they will need to rush things and it might become a clusterfuck like Reconquista. This series deserves to take it's time to develop. Potential enough to become a Gundam Universe of its own, like UC.
Honestly, I would say 50 is too much. I think 35 to 40 would be much better. Granted it would be very awkward for a time slot. Gundam seems to do much better when confined on time like 8th MS Gundam or something. It makes them really get down to the point of the story. That being said, IBO really does seem to be dragging on for a 25 episode series.

That's....absurd. Why are we even calling this a Gundam show then? Why don't we just get rid of the mobile suits all together and have the setting take place in, I don't know...America. The whole crew is traveling from Oregon to Washington DC to protest labor laws or something. Oh, but not after taking detour after detour to Texas, Florida, and New York of course.
Look, I'm not saying the mecha porn has to be the defining part of the plot, but it certainly needs to have a bigger role than what we're seeing right now. It's like having a Godzilla movie and barely showing Godzilla. Ha, glad that's never happend before.

It's really not, but I'm trying very hard to reserve judgement until the end of the series. I'm hoping to be surprised. But, as it stands right now, most of these characters are fairly boring, Mika included. Seriously, Heero had more personality than him.
