There was apparently an advance screening of the first episode held in a movie theater in Japan. First impressions are largely positive.

Neddy Seagoon posted:What's there to spoil in the ED/OP of a series about smashing little plastic robots? Well... Apparently Sekai meets up with some mysterious shadowed women later on. That's about it, I think.

One thing I do like is that Sekai, even with his martial arts skills, isn't able to evade Yuuma's sniper shots, and that the battle ended inconclusively with both suits about to strike each other. Since this is supposed to be a team of three it's nice to see some acknowledgement that the others can keep up with Sekai, at least for now.

W.T. Fits posted:You still just basically dismissed Fumina as having any worth as a character based on a single episode and a preview. The thing is, Fumina's not just the female lead; she's the protagonist. The narrative is following her inner monologue, not Sekai's. She's the first of the main characters we see on screen, and she's the one who has an actual goal (compete in a Gunpla tournament) and an obstacle (no teammates). If she really is being set up to do nothing but sit back and fail while Sekai and Yuuma get all the glory, why is the narrative even bothering to establish all this? Why isn't it focusing on Sekai's thoughts and goals? Well to be fair Sei was not a shining example of good character development.

I hope Yuuma spends time moping that Sekai was the one who got his hands on a one-of-a-kind Sei Iori custom instead of him.

I wish they'd go deeper and make the announcements references to specific places (yes I know the actual areans are usually cribbed from Gundam locations but I'd like the announcers to acknowledge it." "Field 27: Axis"

Dude comes in boasting about how he coated his gunpla in metal sheeting to ensure it's the most durable machine in the whole drat tourney. 5 seconds after the battle starts he realizes that the plavsky particles can't move his gunpla since it's covered in metal.

As long as we're continuing the discussion, Yuuma spent the entirety of the episode either on the back foot or getting his clock cleaned by the most amazing/awful Wing kitbash I've ever seen. So we have that as well.

Maybe the dude's shtick is that he's so skilled in battle he can get by on uncustomized models. ... Maybe Bandai discovered a huge stack of vanilla Destiny kits in a warehouse and they want to get rid of them quick.

Karuoko is popular because Sazaki is popular and she's his sister. Also she has a pretty nonstandard character design that makes her stand out.

Gaining a momentary advantage by distracting your opponent with how stunningly awful you look is a time-tested tactic of any Team Fortress 2 player.

Fumina is piloting the GM Cardigan in the preview and this is also supposed to be the episode she switches to the Winning Gundam, so expect the thing to get wrecked yet again.

S1 was a pretty slow burn, at the start people just went along with it because it seemed like goofy, lighthearted fun and most were just pleasantly surprised it wasn't absolute dreck. I think episode 6 was the first one where people really sat up and paid attention.

Probably the main rival's entire team, and maybe the Meijin's team too. BTW, we have the name for the Hyaku Shiki variant used in the OP. The kanji reads as 'Million Shiki' and the pronunciation is 'Mega Shiki.'

I would like to point out that Sazaki's shields took a direct hit from a Sei-custom unit piloted by a kung fu prodigy and didn't even get scratched. The colony was less durable than the shield. Sazaki's been practicing over the last 7 years.
