I loved the hell out of gunpla builders. It didn't take itself seriously at all and was really fun with good battles so I'm hoping for more of the same. I don't care what anyone says poo poo like this was amazing

Sakurazuka posted:Not sure if I should be worried that Bandai will give up on serious Gundam shows if this is popular or hope that they do, any more. The origin is still coming out along with g-reko. Combined with the insane amount of money unicorn has been giving Bandai, I don't think you should worry about bandai giving up on serious gundam. Dessel posted:I've watched quite a few Gundam series but I still don't know jack about different gundam models at all, and the premise sounds utterly terrible. It's not a gundam but I think you're thinking of the Gyan.

I really liked this show, not surprising because I was one of the few people around here who was excited for the show when it came out. I liked some of the humor in it, like with the opening scene and the fights are very well done and nicely animated. It's a fun silly show and I hope they can keep it up. But man, I really wish gunpla stores like Sei's existed in North America. For over a decade I've had to go online to get my fix  . Although considering it takes me a month to build and paint a kit, I'd be terrified of actually joining a gunpla battle.

Caros posted:Fo Its entirely possible that Build Fighters is going to go AGE on us and absolutely poo poo the bed once it gets past the clever opening, but done well this could make for a really, really good gundam show about little plastic robots. Age was pretty bad from the get-go. It had a 14 year old working to design a mobile suit and him figuring out that the Vegans were going to attack soon. Instead of telling the leader of the colony, someone he's close with, he only tells his teacher who dismisses him. So right now build fighters first episode is way better then age's.

Considering they'll be making a hg turn A, I wonder what abilities it will have if it shows up. If it's got the moonlight butterfly then the gunpla it's fighting against is pretty much screwed.

I find it funny that people complain that they won't do "anything crazy like G-Gundam ever again" when G-gundam's whole countries fight in a big tournament was a direct mandate from Bandai. Imagawa had no choice but to include it. He then added the devil gundam and then made the story work. I think the main problem is that gundam has a lack of competent writers and directors. The last good gundam series was arguably 00, a series I enjoyed from beginning to end. At least build fighters looks promising. Although this should likely go in the general gundam thread.

Couple of thoughts 1. Op is really, really great. It's really obari like and it's just fantastic. Ending is quite good as well. I like the human/gundam hybrid. 2. I like how they made Reiji kind of a dick and not just some magic nice genie. I laughed with him just taking over the bed and just going "I paid you back once, now forget about it." 3. It was a little thing I liked, but most shows would have glossed over the fact that a school had a gunpla arena, but at least they gave a semi-plausible explanation as to why they had one. 4. glad the sumo didn't get completely punked. 5. The fights is this series are quite dynamic and sure as hell beat the boring rear end age fights. 6. It looks like their going to address Reiji's deal pretty quickly. As other people have said, this show is fun and you can tell the guys working on this are having a blast. Monaghan fucked around with this message at 22:16 on Oct 14, 2013 |

I like how if you look closely, you can tell that ral used the old lovely gouf model from the early eighties during his fight with Sei. The elbows and knees don't move and it's got a similar blocky styling. The little details in this show are nice.

Either Mao brought a airbrush/spray can with him or he hand painted the white trim on the kyshatria, which I commend him for, because handpainting white is hard as hell, not to mention how tiny the trim is. He must have steady hands to do that in a truck.

God drat that fight was incredible. Such a great back and forth and fantastically animated and directed. If their heading for the world tournament already, I'm wondering if this show will only be 13 episodes.

Bimmi posted:A fair point, but even those shows had female characters who weren't just there to adore the hero, be cartoonishly evil or wave their tits around, i.e. characters who might actually be relatable and positive for girls viewing the show. Nothing of the sort on display in GBF as of yet. I don't know if Aila can be categorized as completely evil yet. There hasn't been anyone in the show yet that's just completely evil. We'll have to wait on China- she may turn out to be a decent builder/pilot. I'll withold judgment on the shows treatment of female characters until later.

When I first heard about this show I expected it to be pretty silly but have fun mech fights. It definitely has those two things in spades, but I am really surprised much I'm enjoying the characters in this show. Felini immediately hitting on Kirara and then blowing it by getting smashed and nerding about gundam was hilarious. Also him starting the first day of the world tournament hungover was great.

I love how this show makes fun of all those e "serious" gundam cliches with stuff like the " masked guy's slow dramatic unmasking" with Yuuki looking exactly the same and everyone wondering what the hell he's doing and the " I devoted all my energy to beating you!" because fellini stole all those guys girlfriends. And by god bandai, you better gives us an mg of fellini's wing gundam, with the core booster.

Yeah at first I was wondering why they didn't shoot the tank, but it makes sense given they were so close to the finish line and only had the railguns available. Also really love how goofy the main bad guy is, what with him dancing around after Sei and Reiji lost. I hope the gunpla hitman comes back. Edit- As for cameos If you look closely you can see a genderbent heero and sarah. Monaghan fucked around with this message at 19:10 on Jan 13, 2014 |

I can see why Fellini wouldn't throw the fight because his whole motivation is proving he has the strongest gunpla around. So having him just voluntary give up a fight would go against his nature- he wants to win all of his fights. Besides both him and Reiji wanted to seriously fight one another in the world tournament, so it makes sense why he wouldn't take it easy on them.

While build fighters is much better, I still enjoyed the builders ova. Everything involving the char knockoff was great. I also enjoyed the zaku fight and some other stuff was funny, like the super small big zam. It that the kid starts not knowing how to make a good looking gunpla. It's a nice little reflection of every modeller's start. But yeah the special parts the beginning 30 got was pretty dumb.

Red and black can be good for color scheme, like johnny ridden's zaku, but one color should be the dominate one. This one just seems like a loving mess.

The fight was enjoyable, even if a bit of an asspull at the end. I was more interested in the character development this episode and learning a little more about Mao, and his parts were fun. So I still think it was a good episode. Still I'm a bit sad that Luang got beaten offscreen,that sucks. Also Mao's master is great and I want to see more of him.

tsob posted:It actually annoys me a little bit that Luang lost the way he did because Sei was able to spot the Zeon toy soldiers moving in a dark, rain filled and rather cluttered environment that was zoomed out from the stands, yet Luang couldn't see them in a bright, empty one only a couple of feet away from him. It's just a silly inconsistency. They really could have done that part better if that's what was going to take him out. Luang was getting shot and and focused on getting in, yuuki was specifically waiting for something to happen and their sensors detected movement.

I liked this fight, it was more straight up dbz then the tactical stuff last episode. I generally prefer the latter, but it was a nice change of pace. Although Why didn't sei give the build strike a machine gun or something, it's hard to cut through a hail of bullets. Also I think sei is going to bankrupt his parents shop considering how many times he's had to rebuild parts of the star build strike

AradoBalanga posted:Man, the staff weren't kidding about Sengoku Astray being a bitch to animate. Half the fight was in total black shading just to get around all of this. I can only imagine how the DVD/BD version will look. I'm guessing when they started making the designs for the show, they saw the design and thought it was so cool looking they kept it. They only later realized "gently caress this thing is so complicated, how are we going to animate it?" edit V- the destiny remaster still has ads for mg's and rg's that are over a year old, so it's not surprising.

BlitzBlast posted:He basically did it at the end of this episode. Either that or he's a really fast sprinter who just happens to carry his Beginning around everywhere. Considering he managed to run up and up to the stage and get set up, he really must have teleported. Sei and the rest of the gang didn't even notice he was gone until he started fighting Aila. How else could Reiji pull that off?

As others have said, this is likely one of the best cyber newtype/ tragic female pilot plotlines in all of gundam. So many of them seem to forget that just having the archetype isn't enough, you have to develop the character and make the viewers care about her. As dumb as this sounds, throughout the episode hoping that Aila would get a happy ending and I thought the ending scenes with her were just adorable.
