Loran sorta counted but Nils is explicitly the first time a person with a similar background to me showed up in any anime I can think of ever, he's the loving coolest even if he's a goofy motherfucker.

He carries a briefcase everywhere with an emergency kimono, in the hopes that one day he can get away from her security guards and live freely, as a man should.

Srice posted:I was pretty indifferent to it myself despite loving the heck out of the first season. Felt like a rougher start than the first season to me, since we more or less had to sit through a tutorial session whereas the first season had Reiji figure it out live. I think it's a better intro than the first series, but I think that only lasts as long as they realize it should be the Fuumina show about Fuumina, who is the strongest character so far. muike posted:That would be cool and that boy had better earn his own gunpla instead of just finding one hidden inside of a Dom inside of a trophy inside of a trophy case inside of the shed outside the school which is inside japan, which is in the ocean, which is on the earth, which is in space, which is also where arian probably is. So when I put it like that it actually makes a lot of sense. My friend was real mad when the cool dom got exploded and the lamer gundam came out instead.

I didn't think it was as good as the first episode. Fight wasn't as good and they replaced the lighthearted comedy with generic melodrama until around the post credits bit. Yuuma's a pretty boring dude, would have liked to see that story told from Fuumina's perspective instead.

If you wanted to be specific, I think structuring fights around the fight itself lets you be way more open and creative with how they go down, when you have to tie them to specific story beats you want to hit it weakens it overall and also absolutely destroys any mystery or tension. Once Fuumina got electrokidnapped you knew how it was going to end.

Neddy Seagoon posted:She's proving to be a really competent tactician too. She got a good read on the lineup right from the get-go and put Sekai to use hunting Yuuma down while she drew their attention with her tank of a GM. Oh I wish Fuumina was the main character. Sekai is like that red head dude from the last season but way more appealing as a character to me, I don't know exactly why.

Kanos posted:Yuuma is my favorite character so far because he's just trying to have generic "but my tormented past, you wouldn't understand" mysterious logical genius pretty boy drama, except it's about toy robot battling and nobody else cares enough to let him be cool and mysterious about it. If they played it for comedy that would be cool, but its mega straight and really incongruous, and boring besides.

Srice posted:ImpAtom has always been a dude who is completely honest about his opinions, so I am p sure he is writing all this stuff because that's how he feels, not because of some really bizarre plan to get some sort of passive-aggressive revenge over the G-Reco thread. The G-Reco Illuminati will not take this insult lying down, there wil be blood for this transgression, because that is totally a thing that is happenning instead of different people just sharing their honest opinions, haha. People replied earlier but phonepost so: I think the after credits scene was comedic, and good for it, but the entire rest of the episode with its framing was setting up yuumas story as something genuine. It would have been really easy to spin it in a comedic fashion overtly, even just by having fuumina react to how silly he was being, but the development team made a conscious decision not to, and it drags the whole episode down. Its mega easy to read it personally as farcical in nature, but I don't see any of the artistic intent in it. More fuumina and hijinks, less of whatever that was in the future, hopefully.

It's not some incredibly silly story, dude just quit because he lost and it took kung fu to bring him back. None of the musical cues or even the way the characters reacted to him were played for comedy, even though it would have been very simple to make that happen. If you want to read it as comedic that's cool, but it's really just a boring straight story that ties the episode down and takes the place of the actual good light comedy they could have written, like last episode was full of.

Actually it took Fuumina being electro kidnapped now that I think about it... hopefully that's over with too. I'd like to see Fuumina win for herself, and not get relegated to just transforming into a boxing glove for sekai to use.

ImpAtom posted:Yeah, but I admit it's a little disappointing when they do it. One of the fun things about BF is that (combat yells aside), they rarely forgot they were writing a show about plastic toys which they used to good effect at times. So that or moments like 'we gotta protect these downed Gunpla" feel kind of weird and forced and honestly like the writers getting a little lazy and putting a 'stock' trope in to the series. It's a minor complaint, admittedly. I just assumed large portions of the cast were big gundam fans, so them writing/animating things like it was a regular gundam show doesn't bother me that much.

I mean I agree that the colony vacuum part was silly to a negative degree, but reacting to hits and dramatic yelling are pretty necessary if you want to do a show like this. Imagine Build Fighters if everybody played it the way people really play competitive videogames, dead silence and manic focus, the only noise generated being the agressive clacking of the holographic control stick things.

The gunpla goes haywire worldwide and Sekai needs to quickly teach the rest of the cast a rudimentary form of Jigen Haoh Anti-Plamo Martial Arts to help combat the threat. In a rather inspired decision from the director the last 3 episodes are just a live camera setup of all the voice actors smashing and stomping on an endless variety of different gundam models .

Yuuma is shaken to the core by Sekai's noble sacrifice through the use of the ultimate forbidden martial arts technique, and honors his memory by never using a sniper rifle in gunpla battle again, because snipers are the loving worst.

ConanThe3rd posted:Didn't say G-reco wasn't good. Just it hasn't been my cup of tetley. I had a feeling it was always going to be that way from the start for a lot of people, so it's a cool thing that there's another gundam show out there that's also very good and caters to a different taste. I doubt it was a conscious decision on Sunrise's part but it works out for the best.

Srice posted:Good to know it's not just me. While watching this episode I was reminded of the episode where Reiji and Aila went out together and got to make their own gunpla, and animation-wise this ep definitely felt lacking. Probably just reserving more budget for the robot fighting part, it's a shame, but I guess you would call that understanding the audience and what they really want to see. I thought it was really goofy when sekai/hoshina/ral were talking and instead of just having the camera farther out to show all three of them at once it panned over to hoshino and cut sekai in half. I thought it was a pretty good episode though.

Amphibious mobile suits are the most sensual and powerful type of all the gunpla, the future of mechanized plastic warfare rests on their noble and strong shoulders. Other robots pale in comparison and I can't wait to see what contrived excuse they come up with for how it could ever be possible for a Kapool to lose to anything, because of how inherently insane that concept is.
