I have to say I'm kinda disappointed that the proagonist's rivals are all 00-inspired machines. (Although The End is at least a bit of everything), especially since last season also ended with an 00 machine prior to the mocks. I know GN Drives are shorthand for powerful but in a series where the Turn-A Gundam can be defeated by a bear punch to the cockpit it doesn't really need that shorthand.

well the writer for BF also wrote 00, maybe he's just got a bias towards them.

EDIT- Really given all the advantages a GN Drive would offer, I would put one on my gunpla if I was a serious competitor.

Actually you're very wrong, the next Build Fighters series should be nothing but Exia variants.

In this case it actually might have been an executive decision; so far Bandai's been doing their best to either make new molds or recycle fairly modern kits, and that leaves them with 00 S2, AGE, and Unicorn. AGE is obviously off the table and Unicorn isn't going to work for a weekly TV series so...

EDIT: Also if I'm remembering right, most of the team worked on 00 so there might actually be some bias here. :v:

Also this series got pretty fun! Like it's starting to feel like s1 in all the right ways.
In a year or two the Build Fighter recommendations will all be "S1 is fantastic for everything but your wallet, S2 starts kinda crap, but halfway through gets really good."

Well from his intro the only people he seemed to like being around are either women or people fromhis home area, as all his dickery was targeted towards residents of Tokyo.

Still, it was nice seeing everyone just have fun this episode. Everyone was allowed to interact and do things and we even got to see building!

Those where a thing in the 00 Movie, sorta.
There where big remote controlled pods with a GN drive, that released even smaller funnel-like things.



Edit: While looking for the above I also found more to answer this earlier question, It's not the biggest but it's lineart.

I feel like I'm the only person in the world who doesn't really mind Sekai. :shobon: He's a pretty generic shounen protagonist, but he's had a few really fun moments like his totally unshakeable faith in how awesome his sister is and Team Zaku Chumps not really being able to grasp that yes, he is actually that straightforward. I also laughed pretty hard at everyone showing off their new concept drawings, Fumina holding hers up, Sekai going :syoon: and then a second later turning to Yuuma and going SO WHAT'S ON THE BLOCK FOR MY BUILD BURNING??? He's not super duper interesting but he spends most of the show in kind of a neutral state while periodically having funny interactions with other people, which I think is okay.

If Yuuma hadn't spent most of the series in an emotional black hole I feel like the two of them would have had some excellent Odd Couple interactions.

I like to think the writers/BFT Team at-large have rebelled and locked the guy responsible for the first half in a closet somewhere, because the latest episode's been a marked improvement and it looks like it'll continue that way :allears:. It's just the sudden increase in little moments like the scene of the triplets huddling and going "Do we know that guy?" "Uh... maybe?..." "Nope, not a clue :shrug:".

Personal bet, not 100% serious, is that not only being a student of Jigen Haoh and all, he was basically who Sei tried to use as a substitute in testing the systems that'd go into the Build Burning. I mean, sure, Sei was a good pilot, but he's not the kind of physical person who could really push a suit like that, and since Reiji isn't around, he went looking for someone. When he realised Junya was a jerk, he left, but Junya kept the gunpla.

Whoever's using the G-Arcane forgets that it can transform until midway through a battle. Sakai is seen in the background having a seizure over the pilot's forgetfulness.

The shows started at the exact same time, what the gently caress do you expect. Theyve probably already got plenty to do without trying to get mech specs and abilities from Tomino before either show airs. Now that theyre both well into the swing of things, it makes more sense.

Build Fighters is a show about custom jobs rather than absolute accuracy. All they really need is the appearance and they can do whatever the hell they want off that.

Based on schematics it looks more like 3 suits that combine into 1.

So yeah at least this kinda goes some way to justifying the 3v3 format

They don't. It's pretty likely Fumina's kit has a transformation gimmick into an HG, and she's said as much that the general design's built around supporting the team herself rather than just parting out as equipment for Sekai and Yuuma.

Well the Build Burning has to get another upgrade somehow. I refuse to believe that they will let the main suit not have some sort of crazy backpack.
