Yeah, I have to say, the thing I'd be least hype about for a third season is the same protagonists. They really just don't have enough to them to carry it and they've already gotten over most of their flaws and problems. I could see Sei carrying a second season with "now I have to fight on my own" (back before the 7 year timeskip) but not these guys. Maybe Sekai will get his brain wiped in the last episode and Build Burning will end up in a junkyard where a jerkass teen gets a hold of it.

I think they could spin it out if they actually managed to cycle Sekai out of designated main character and give the job back to Fumina.

Eh a third season could let them actually develop the characters, especially if it breaks up the team, so keeping the same cast wouldn't necessarily be bad, and there's no reason they couldn't bring back some season 1 characters. I would be delighted if BF Tryhard was the graceful return of Ricardo Fellini. Edit: I guess I should be a little fair to the show in that it at least makes it clear that Fumina is the team captain, but she hardly ever gets to do much of anything, and it seems like they really don't want to animate real mode Star Winning. It's had all of like 30 seconds of screen time. chumbler fucked around with this message at 17:50 on Mar 11, 2015 |

You know what I just realized? This episode answered the question of how it would function if somebody made a weapon that transmuted the environment into Plavsky particles. And Minato made a cutscene for it.

Maybe Try Again would work if they focused pretty heavily on the fact that going to the World Tournament would bring back a lot of the original series cast. Then spending the entire series as an outsider looking in rather than watching it through the lens of the Try Fighters. Basically have the Try Fighters lose in the second round and spend the rest of the series with them in the stands watching Ricardo Fellini be fabulous.

The Inverse Jigen Haoh Law, whereupon the quality of the episode's battle is inversely proportional to how much Jigen Haohing there is. I really find it funny that they're walking back Assimilation even more than they did, since the Try Burning got its back and spine ripped to poo poo and yet again ended the fight as an amputee. It took more damage in this battle than pretty much any other battle besides Junya and the trial fight at Nielsen Labs. Whoever came up with that plot point in the first place really didn't think the implications for how it would handicap their choreography through at all.

While I know you're probably not making an entirely serious suggestion, having Yuuma and Fumina job out almost immediately would be probably one of the worst things they could do. It would be taking a chance to fix the flaws of Try and instead just writing it off as a loss to try to relive the original's appeal. There's plenty of room to work on Fumina, and Yuuma is a bit better established and would clearly work as a friendly rival. There's also the whole thing with having Lady as a probable mentor who would have to be fought in the tournament.

She's pretty much still a blank slate so there's still a lot of room to work with her. She built a super awesome fancy robot but as a person she hasn't really had any growth or revelations beyond "whoa i need to not rely on my teammates to do everything for me" and her involvement with every other character in the cast has occurred through a Sekai or Yuuma tinted lens.

Yuuma had a battle with one of his two rivals today. Fumina only has one rivalry and it revolves largely around Sekai's Dimension Overlord Straight Thrust.

Next season should just be Sei and Mejin broing out being huge Gundam nerds. e: really it should just be an episodic show about Mejin going around inspiring people by being really hammy and then driving off on his motorcycle. GO!

The latter two are, but there's also a Honoo photo series that is... a thing, I guess? Honestly still don't know what's going on with that beyond the fact it's moved into Try.

Watching some of the other eps of Build Fighters, I really notice that a huge chunk (not ALL) of BF Try's problems could have been solved with a slightly more efficient use of a budget (or perhaps just MORE budget). Like this is probably the most stunning episode we've had in the entire series, visually speaking. Part of that is because Obari is the greatest, but another part of that is that everything else looks so, so shoddy even compared to its predecessor. I mean, I know they're juggling this and G-Reco (and a little bit of The Origin), but it couldn't have killed them to pour a bit more money into the non-Obari episodes to make them look better.

Lessail posted:tryon 3 should have won this is bullshit Yeah, all team try hating aside, if Tryon had won and the series just re-centered on them I wouldn't have batted an eye. They rock. Also I like that the 'innermost secret' of his school is 'build whatever you want', and is immediately identified by his teammate. Nothing says innermost secret of a gunpla building school like immediately seen and understood by people who aren't members of a special building school. Edit: What did I expect from this show though. The secret of the Jigen Haoh School is 'just want to win even more, then win.'

Next episode is Try's version of Gunpla Eve, and from the previews it looks to be Pep Talks: The Episode. So at the very least the entire cast is going to get to do something instead of just sitting around cheerleading. And hey, we might even see Sekai's maste- ahahahahahhaa. Blackchamber posted:Also I like that the 'innermost secret' of his school is 'build whatever you want', and is immediately identified by his teammate. Nothing says innermost secret of a gunpla building school like immediately seen and understood by people who aren't members of a special building school. Going by his first appearance in... episode 4 (?), Sakai screams "GUNPLA IS FREEDOM" like all the time when he's fighting. Kind of hard not to pick it up.

A team that never had a chance of making it suddenly gets thrust onto the national stage when a hotshot Gunpla builder transfers in. But can they stay true to themselves, their friends, and the spirit of Gunpla? And what is the deal with this mysterious transfer student, and his dark history with an old rival? Find out, in a hypothetical, much better, version of Gundam Build Fighters where you actually care about the main characters.

The innermost secret of the Shingyo School not being a secret at all was the entire point of Mao's character building episode in S1. Kid was so stressed about finding a way to win an impossible fight that he was trying to figure out if Chinan knew some sort of magic technique to make himself super strong and Chinan's big revelation to him was "Kid, just have fun and enjoy yourself".

The coolest thing Sekai has done all season is a flying arm bar, so it's not like being restricted to firearms is an actual problem. The Lightning's just been hit really hard by the 3v3 format; you're not going to get a well-choreographed fight that showcases your strengths when your teammates are Kung Fu Miracle Man and Does Basically Everything. Just look at Meijin vs Yuuma; the Lightning was cool as poo poo in that fight.

FWIW, the production companies are the same and the first season was basically a license to print that sweet, sweet HG kit money so it wouldn't be so much a budget issue as a production time issue since there was a (relatively) short window between the first season ending and Try starting.
