Sharkopath posted:It's a minor thing but part of the reason I checked out was I just wasn't interested in any of the robot designs, all of them being variants of gundams I don't like from shows I dont like. somebody can feel free to count to prI've me wrong but anecdotally I feel like the first season had more variety in origin and aesthetic of all the customs. Actually one of the biggest weird parts about this series is that once we got to the Nationals there were a whole lot of totally original customs. Only one of the Try Fighters is a variant of an existing design, all of the Gunpla Academy are original designs(well Shia's is based on a worker mech, I guess, but massively modified), the triplet team was composed of originals, and the Denial was original. Only Kei, team Jobber Zakus, the Tryon 3, Lucas, and a bunch of no names were actually piloting clear variants of existing designs. Meanwhile in S1 every single mech was a customized version of an existing unit.

S1's Gunpla were better for it I think, because it made them a bit more grounded in the Battlestar Galactica fashion, if that makes sense ("we used bullets and nukes because people know what kind of damage they do instead of just lasers doing whatever damage the plot demands").

I'd like a series that went away from the big tournament "I WANNA BE THE VERY BEST LIKE NO ONE EVER WAS' format. I dunno, stuff about running a hobby shop, travelling the world, trying to gain influences from all over to assemble the perfect Gunpla or something. A series about Mao teaching Sakai or poo poo.

It takes away the excitement of seeing something like the Wing or the X in action again. Nobody cares about those three SD Gundams that combine into a dragon. But if they had been customs of the Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei SD Gundams? That would've been so much cooler!

It's neat to have a couple totally original designs(or designs so radically mutated from the source material that they're almost unrecognizable like Sengoku Astray) to spice things up, but I feel like it's way cooler when we get to see old favorites in action again. The Tryon 3 wouldn't be so appealing to me if it were a totally original super robot-esque design instead of so obviously the ZZ with the serial numbers filed off and a lion bolted to the chest.

Seriously though, I think the World Cup probably benefits from a full season. They had a lot of little fights and events that got rushed through in the first season, and you could probably get some decent episodes/kit-worthy one-off customs out of them.

I guess the random fire sword does finally answer what Sei meant by the Build Burning being specced for Reiji's fighting style; the BB is so good at plavsky manipulation it can just straight up make its own weapons.

Build Burning can literally do anything. The pilot just needs to have imagination, to believe in the freedom of gunpla, and to not accept any limits. That actually sounds really boring. You mean I can dodge bullets? You don't have to Sekai. Lostconfused fucked around with this message at 13:34 on Mar 26, 2015 |

drat we almost got an ending where the female characters weren't thrown away/discarded as dead weight. So long Beyblade Fighters, you gave us the R-Gyagya and the Tryon-3  edit: and those wonderful Ez-8 customs I can't get enough of!

If the wasted gimmick of Burning is that it is basically Neo of the Matrix, he should've been tailor made as a reference machine. Like a Medabot that can teleport his own parts.

Dang it people, I meant useful from a writing perspective. It's plenty easy to make a character useful in-world, but Sekai wasn't useful for character development or to the series as a story . In fact he was actively detrimental to it. He kept more interesting characters from interacting directly, like how his presence kept Shia and Fumina from having enough screen time together to establish a proper rivalry. His fighting style wasn't engaging because it wasn't clearly defined enough to have tension or feel impressive. If you don't understand what a character's doing well enough, it's hard to care whether they succeed or fail. Sure he helped in-universe, but he ended up being a waste of time and effort that could have been better applied to other characters. Fumina needed more personal growth, Shia needed more interaction that wasn't vaguely defined Newtype romance, and Lady barely got any development at all. His interactions with Yuuki were great, but they were a bright spot in an otherwise uninteresting character. This series needed more Gundam, more Gunpla, and less martial arts magic.

You know, back during the early episodes when Sekai and Hoshino stomped into the Gunpla building club to retrieve Yuuma from the mantis dude, Sekai looked genuinely ready to gently caress someone up. I think he'd be an excellent candidate for the Gunpla Mafia.

That's not fair because Al is actually a cool character that isn't just beep boop logic robot, but you don't really get to see much of it in the anime... If you haven't read FMP sigma or the book where this scene is in, I won't spoil it for you but if you don't tear up before the Levatein's final assault you're a monster And the climax of the island assault: Computers can't operate the Lambda driver. They can regulate values but not make it work. The interface is destroyed and Sosuke is about to be at the epicenter of a nuclear explosion. After asking Sosuke if Al is a human/person, Sosuke tells him to do what all humans do and decide for himself. Al sustains a lambda driver barrier until rescue arrives. Al is cool. muike fucked around with this message at 00:11 on Mar 27, 2015 |

Yeah I was talking about Sigma, Al is legitimately like my favorite character in that. The ending was so good. I thought it was that the Lambda Driver is controlled by imagination, which an AI shouldnt be able to do because beep boop logic. But then he does
