Do we know if Gundaminfo'll be uploading subbed episodes of GBF like they did with Seed and Destiny HD?

I totally agree with that, we just need either Funimation or Sentai to get off their asses and start talking with Sunrise again.

This may be one of my favorite things to happen to a series in a while. I'm all for super dramatic stories and explorations of a person's inner psyche or whatever, but there are times when I really want something nonsensical and entertaining. This show does just that.
Also Ramba Ral! :allears:

They managed to get SD Three Kingdoms in there, I'm more wondering how they'd work it into Dynasty Warriors Gundam, even if it is just Build Strike and Zaku Amazing.

If you're curious, that thing used to be the Sazabi.

It's like Warhammer 40k vomited all over Char's Counterattack. Instead of space Nazis there's just green idiots piloting the Geara Dogas.

Maybe it's a tease for a future tag-team tourney arc?

Makes sense, if it goes that way, then it'll let Sei learn to pilot and Reiji will learn to build models. Then it'll culminate in them facing each other in the finals of the world tournament. End with a fade to white and an epilogue that shows Sei and Reiji as adults building mobile suits. Unless the whole "Reiji's an alien" thing really starts sends things off the rails.

With each passing episode I'm becoming happier that I'm waiting for the Master Grade for the Build Strike, mostly because of how many off the cuff weapon upgrades Sei's been giving it. Hopefully by the time he does a full suit upgrade it'll be something on the level of the IWSP Strike pack.

I just noticed that there's an SD Knight Gundam in the opening when the Build Strike flies by everything and its cousin. This may be the best thing ever if there's an episode where Sei and Reiji have to fight a horde of SD kits.

But if you get the MG you might not get the wacky as hell support pack!



I don't know what possible use a ring of prayer beads could serve, but I bet this show will make a good one. :allears:

From what I've read about the MG Build Strike and Build Mk-II they're both including their support packs so I think it's a pretty reasonable assumption that they'll include the expansions for all the Build Fighters MGs.

This... this goddamn show man. I'm already super invested in like 3 character arcs now they have to go and introduce both Nils and Aila, both piloting my 2 favorite mobile suits in the franchise, the Astray and Qubeley.
And yet I'm still super goddamn excited for next week's Beargguy vs. SD Knight Gundam fight:allears:

Has there even been a Qubeley pilot who wasn't a woman? It's all Purus and Haman IIRC.

Yeah, they're always piloted by women, which makes sense considering it's named after Cybele, the Greek goddess of nature.

How the hell does this show stay so amazing like this?! I keep thinking "Goddamn the tournament's going to be a step down from these preparation episodes" then I see drunk Fellini geeking out about 08th MS Team and my expectations get surpassed every drat time!

The 1/12 Gundam is almost as big as a man. If this is the case, I think we all know what's going to come alive at the end of the series.

I want to see Sei and Reji controlling the 1/1 Gundam with an NES advantage controller while they listen to Jackie Wilson.

Replace Jackie Wilson with Tobe! Gundam and you have a deal.

The funny thing is that Nils is super-weeaboo, too, but he doesn't give a crap about Gundam. I guess he takes Inu Yasha or something way too seriously.

He walks into a hobby shop and asks which Gundam can use the Wind Scar and the slightly confused clerk points him towards the Astray Red Frame.

But no hate for Aila's no effort matches? Fickle crowd.

The other thing is if Fellini threw the match figuring he'd just fight Reiji later when it mattered, and Reiji (plot armor aside) lost to someone else and was eliminated they wouldn't have gone head to head at all in the tournament leaving unfinished business between them.

Nah, Aila's matches are like halftime, it's when everyone goes to the bathroom, gets some overpriced food and beer. I'm actually hoping for any of the primary characters to fight Aila soon so we can actually have a fight that's longer than "The gently caress?!" (explosion) and a shot of Qubeley Papillion with its hand on its hip.

This is true, any other series would do the whole awkward tsundere thing for 3, maybe 4 episodes then she'd get killed off by some random guy to piss off Reiji, probably Gunpla Mafia man

I'm so happy that this show rewarded all of my faith in the writers since the thread had that big argument over whether or not China and Kirara were sexist characters way back when the series was just starting. It could have easily gone the other way.

Also some people argued it couldn't be as amazing as G Gundam because it's not as deep and self aware, and I like to think that the show's proven that point wrong multiple times over.

Really not disappointed in seeing Luang crushed so easily since I thought he was one of the least developed and least interesting characters.

Was really expecting there to be an scene where the the Gundam X Maoh and Build Strike floated in space with the pilots exchanging last words before the X, sparking dangerously, exploded in typical Gundam fashion. The lack of a scene was kind of a cop out in my opinion. Was my favorite episode so far though.

While a slow acoustic version of either Imagination>Reality or Half Pants Spirit plays in the background. I have a tear in my eye just thinking about it...

How is it going against the spirit of the game when Funnels and other remote weapons exist? Not to mention Sei and Reiji also used wire triggered beam backback to launch a flanking attack against the Wing Gundam. The zeon soldiers are just glorified missile/seeker-mine.

But funnels and the like are actually a part of the machine, whereas a squadron of dudes running around sticking C4 on stuff just feels cheap.
