Was looking at the cast and the original Ral wont be reprising his role after episode 5. Looks like he didnt get better in time :(

The gunpla goes haywire worldwide and Sekai needs to quickly teach the rest of the cast a rudimentary form of Jigen Haoh Anti-Plamo Martial Arts to help combat the threat. In a rather inspired decision from the director the last 3 episodes are just a live camera setup of all the voice actors smashing and stomping on an endless variety of different gundam models .

I already have an idea for a custom paint job for this. :swoon:

It's beautiful :stwoon:. Just a pity it doesn't come with a set of alternate heads from the first season finale.

That's going to be like the Build Akatsuki, an out-of-universe exclusive that's being marketed as a BF kit.

Yuuma is shaken to the core by Sekai's noble sacrifice through the use of the ultimate forbidden martial arts technique, and honors his memory by never using a sniper rifle in gunpla battle again, because snipers are the loving worst.

I saw it pointed out on 4chan that the design of Gyanko's battle club balcony is a direct reference to Riddhe's own balcony from Gundam Unicorn.

Neat detail.
They also pointed out that Sekai's...er, "shooting abilities" were a nod to Patlabor's own Ohta who has similar quirks (and stance) when firing weapons.

Which is actually pretty hilarious when you consider that the one time Ohta's ever shown to actually be competent with his sidearm was on the practice range.

Mirai being this show's Char would be the next best thing (the previous best thing was everything about Gyanko).

I agree that this talk about Mirai being the show's Char is completely ridiculous.

She would clearly be the show's Schwarz Bruder, er, Schwester.

I had a feeling it was always going to be that way from the start for a lot of people, so it's a cool thing that there's another gundam show out there that's also very good and caters to a different taste.

I doubt it was a conscious decision on Sunrise's part but it works out for the best.

Count me in as well, but with the caveat that I didn't even like the first season of BF much, and fully expected to like G-Reco more.

I guess the hefty amount of G Gundam references won me over to this season of BF. <3

Rewatching episode 3 again, I noticed something interesting during the fight.

This is the Build Burning Gundam immediately after getting hit by the Jet Stream Attack:





This is the Build Burning Gundam after reemerging from the water and deflecting Gyanko's missile barrage:





Where's the damage? The Rising Gundam's heat naginata should have left a very nasty slash in the BBG's torso... but it's apparently unscathed. And between the Powered GM Cardigan losing its arm and its shield, and the R-Gyagya losing one of its shields during the same fight, we know that at Model Damage Level B, the models should show some signs of actual damage from being hit by attacks. It could be an animation oversight, granted, but... I dunno, this feels like it's more significant than the Kampfer Amazing and GM Sniper K9's beam sabers swapping colors during Bloodhounds. I mean, this would be the first time the Build Burning Gundam has taken an actual significant hit during a fight, which would in turn be a great excuse for Fumina and/or Yuuma to teach Sekai about repairing his model after a battle in the next episode. But apparently Sekai was able to just completely no sell that attack like it was nothing.

Yeah, I pointed that out, too, but nobody else cared or considered it significant enough to think about. :shrug:

W.T. Fits posted:

There was some kind of weird Plavsky particle hax going on during the reveal, which stood out to me. Look at the damaged parts of the Dom and how they start glowing from within; that's definitely not normal. And when Yuuma finally did finish off the outer shell, he blew a hole clean through the Dom's torso; yet there wasn't a scratch on the Build Burning Gundam itself.

...

I'm really curious to hear the eventual explanation for what exactly the hell was up with that.

I'd err on the side of 'lazy writing' before the Build Burning having miraculous nanomachine technology or something considering nobody has pointed it out onscreen yet. It could be otherwise but I kinda doubt it.

I'd actually err on the side of "animation mistake" more than anything, and completely not worth talking about.
