But at the very end she realizes she was good all along and instantly becomes one of the best battlers.

I dunno, she seems to actually be experienced compared to the others. Isn't she supposed to be the head of the GB club? I mean her Gundam is literally called WINNING. You think this thing is cute? It wasn't made to be cute. It was made to WIN.

ImpAtom posted:Honestly, something I find sort of weird is that only one of the three main suits is 'canonical.' You've got two units which look basically like new suits and then the ReGZ. The Lighting Gundam look like a knockoff of something from Age to me even though they can't use AGE suits in this show.

I think it's because of the shoulder shape and wing colours looking AGE-3-ish. Anyone know when that license on AGE runs out?

It's not uncommon in goofy anime like this for the club lead to be the crappiest member of the team. She's 'scrambling for players' according to the profile and ends up with those two.

Yeah. And going by that and the other info presented thus far, I'm going to guess that while China's brother is great at actually building Gunpla, he's probably an average fighter at best. Red is probably going be doing most of the heavy lifting in the fights, and I'm guessing Yellow is probably going to handle Sei/Ral's role of filling in background info on the various suits and references that pop up throughout the season. Also, what are their names?

Let us dream this sweet dream for a little longer. Also, if they do care about getting more girls into gunpla (though who knows whether they actually do), having the girl not suck and die for once would be a good idea.

The fact that they went with Build Burning Gundam rather than God Gundam threw me for a loop. Did someone at Bandai realize that they were getting heavy hits on youtube stateside for this and changed the name to lessen confusion? That or they're going for a more fire themed thing so the name change was intentional.

Sei is the Build God anyway so they want to avoid bruising his ego.  It took me like 5 minutes to parse that that Re-Gz wasn't an AGE3 variant...

It's called "Burning" because the pilot has burning spirit and there's also a Lightning Gundam. It's a big weird that Winning is just... Winning unless it's some weird Wind pun.

Take a closer look at the Burning. It's basically an incredibly stripped-down God, without most of the extras and decorations. Also, it's totally doing the God Gundam's fingers-outstretched combat pose in the poster pic on the site's main page.

Remember that the Abigorbine was an Abigor in Dunbine colors. The staff of GBF is fond of references and jokes that step outside of what you'd expect, I'm pretty sure they're referencing the localization of God Gundam on top of going for a fire theme.

It would be amazing if not!Reiji was from America originally, but still a fan of the series, then they could make tons of localization jokes Yeah that's the God Gundam's chestpiece and head crest. It just looks really odd without the core booster backpack and the wristguards.

It's definitely more Shining than Burning, I think. The shoulders in other pics I've seen and ankle guards are spot on, while the chest is extremely similar. The yellow vents on either side of the chest are there, though I suspect it's a redesign because they don't need the core lander to stick its nose through to become the cockpit. Minus the wrist slashers, the limbs look similar to the Shining. I wouldn't be surprised if they had thruster vents that popped open in Burning Mode or whatever.

Kind of a mixed bag on those episodes though, so I can't say I'm not a little worried. Tallgeese Valyrie fight was good, but Mao's episode was lame and Gundam Valhalla was alright but kind of empty. I want the director or directors from Bloodhounds, episode 6, and the Build Strike vs. Wing Fenice episodes. Mostly Bloodhounds. chumbler fucked around with this message at 17:53 on Jul 17, 2014 |

If it follows anything from the last season those suits will probably change as the season progresses. Can't wait to see what PLAVISKY particle fuckery they come up with this season.
