So since they already pulled out goddamn G-Savior, bets on the most obscure cameo this time around?

Gaia Gear? Gunboy-Wilbur (or anything from For the Barrel)? ...Ganota popping up in the background?

The only correct answer is Gigantis. :colbert:

Fumina needs to make Seikai watch G Gundam so he'll do the Shining Finger. Also, he totally needs like, the G Gundam's wings on his back.

The problem with that plan is that I can see Sekai actually trying to punt a skyscraper.

Hilariously, the HG Build Burning is going to be cheaper than HG Build Strike Full Package. I guess those backpacks really inflate the price.

Aside from the upgrades ImpAtom mentioned, there's almost definitely going to be a kit where it comes with a Dom-functioning-as-ejectable-outer armor for the Build Burning. So yeah, there's the pricing there.

I have to say, I want to meet the pilot of the customized Core Booster. Who the hell even does that?

Someone either committed to a strategy, or just plain insane. Since this is a Gundam series, both options have valid reasonings!

Hold on. That's not the AEU09T. The Enact Commander Type doesn't use the blade rifle. Only one that does is the AEU-09Y812 AEU Enact Ali Al-Saachez Custom.

_{What's wrong with me? Why do I know this poo poo?}

Interestingly enough, the Enact's designer actually gave a few remarks of praise on Twitter for including the little details the Try staff put into the Enact's appearance, such as the beam saber location and remembering the Enact has leg missiles.

As for why you know these details..... :shrug:

poo poo, so Mantis Man is going to be dropped out of an airplane and shot mid-fall? Hell of a way to go out.

As for the episode, I will laugh if Kitbash Hell Custom turns out to be later revealed as a Frozen Teardrop design preview.

Decided to take a crack at figuring out the mysterious MS in the opening, and while it's obviously heavily customized

the left arm gives it away as a Nu variant. I guess it makes sense, it was Yuuki's original suit.

I've heard people saying it looks more like the Red Warrior, actually.

Huh, that does look pretty close. Can't say I'd have seen that coming.

Considering the staff like some of the more obscure units (G-Cannon Magna, for instance), it doesn't completely surprise me.

Then again, it probably is heavily customized, like you said. So, maybe it's a kitbash of Red Warrior and a Nu variant.

I saw it pointed out on 4chan that the design of Gyanko's battle club balcony is a direct reference to Riddhe's own balcony from Gundam Unicorn.

Neat detail.

They also pointed out that Sekai's...er, "shooting abilities" were a nod to Patlabor's own Ohta who has similar quirks (and stance) when firing weapons.

I want to see him do the one Master Asia move. You know the one.

I want Sekai to be literally shooting his face at guys in a tornado of plavasky particles.

We also have the perfect setup for the attack. Sekai becomes the tornado, while Fumina uses Winning's fist form to send Sekai flying into the opponents.

...Phoenix Gundam? Sisquiede? I can't say I was expecting those choices.

Hahahaa and the Deep Striker. Yeah that's showing up as a blink-and-you'll-miss-it suit or the animators might start rioting.

Yeah, if they actually animate Deep Striker, I'll be genuinely shocked because that thing is just as bulky than the goddamn Orchis. Seriously, look at this thing:

Then again, Woundwort (and its variants) has its own crazy design quirks that'd make animating it...interesting, to say the least.

I liked Katsuhisa Houki as Ral. Yeah, he's got an issue with sounding like he smoked a gorillion cigarettes, but it works for the character. Hopefully, he'll slide into the role and not be too jarring down the line.

That said, I am looking forward to Team Totally Not Dragonar next week and how they perform.

Zwingley posted:

Is there a reason some people are assuming that Yuuki isn't the Meijin anymore, and Lady is/might be? Or is it just speculation?

Part of the assumption is due to the staff saying that season 1 characters will not be involved in the plot for Try, meaning they'd be on-screen cameos with lines (like with China in episode 2 or Yuuki in this week's episode) at best, and passing mentions at the worst. Yuuki still being the Meijin in Try would kind of conflict with that statement.

Upcoming episode titles and who is doing what from /m/.

quote:

Episode 6: "Rules of Battlefield"
Shigeru Ueda / Mitsue Aiji / Katanao Akai(chara) / Munetaka Abe(mecha)

Episode 7: "Simon the Motokumi"
Minami Yasuhiro / Shuuji Iuchi / Michinori Chiba(chara) / Hiroshi Arisawa(mecha)

Episode 8: "On this shield I swear"
Shouji Ikeno / Iwao Teraoka & Susumu Nishizawa / Kayo Ikeda & Hiromitsu Morishita(chara) / Shinya Kusumegi (mecha)

Episode 9: "Battle of Solomon"
Kazuki Tsunoda & Shinya Watada / Ken Ootsuka / Kenichi Ohnuki(chara) / Ken Ootsuka (mecha)

For those wondering what "motokumi" means, apparently it's a Japanese term for snapbuilders. The translation of the term comes out...a little derogatory, unfortunately.

At the end of it with Lady.

Also we haven't really seen any character whose name is Simon, so chances are its the Destiny dude. Or maybe the Kitbash gundam guy?

It's the Destiny guy on the jungle gym in the previous episode.

I'm just interested in how Simon is going to turn the Destiny Gundam, a unit built to be well-rounded in terms of melee and ranged combat, into a unit who's main form of combat is boxing.

I'm curious to see how Sleggar manages to ram himself into a Big Zam in this show. It has to happen at least once.

I have a feeling there will be a one-off episode where this happens. And then get played for laughs.

Speaking of laughs, I will burst out laughing if the Turn-A Trombe's user is voiced by Tetsu Inada.

I appreciate the derail about Macross 7 and Escaflowne. They've been added to my watch list.

I see that Escaflowne was dubbed twice. Once fairly recently, and once by... Fox Kids? Haha, wow. I'm almost tempted to watch that version.

Avoid the Fox Kids version.

Like, treat it like it's Gundam AGE and run away and never look back.

Also, what Neddy said.

Today, I watched a robot with a mustache fight a tiny bear robot and lose to the bear because of an uppercut to the cock(pit). Bless your heart, Build Fighters. :allears:

Moral of the day: Do not gently caress with robot bears. Especially robot bears that know kung fu.

This begs the question of how you can crowbar a Garma's Funeral reference into Build Fighters.

Easy. Have either Nils or Caroline do a big speech with a picture of a Gundam's head behind them during the opening ceremony for the nationals. End with a "Sieg Gunpla" gag.

In an episode full of ridiculous and amazing () moments, I don't know why this one stood out the most for me.

The best part? His helmet is more or less the Red Warrior's head (minus the V-fin). Shine on, you crazy Meijin. :allears:

Anyhew, I would to thank our Glorious Lord and Savior Meijin Kawaguchi for finally smacking some sense into Yuuma. Would have preferred the backhand slap method, but what we did get will suffice.

As for next episode, they seem to be doing a "one rep from each team" thing for this battle royale, and Sugita's character looks like he's representing his team. Since mobile armors require 3 people under the new rules, does this mean that finally, Sugita gets his elusive Gundam? Or, like Bright Noa, will he fail to ride the (Gunpla) rainbow?

They'll give him a Gunpla for one of those Mobile Suits that was a Gundam in all but name, like the RE-GZ or Hyaku Shiki (but obviously not those ones, since they've already been used).

Let's go one step further and say he gets a custom Rick Dias.

Although it'd be hilarious if they just made up completely ridiculous fake Gundam shows though. Heroic Ursine Squadron Bearguy and Sengoku Defense Robot ASTRAY.

It's kind of a shame that none of the Amazing manga characters are going to make their way into the show.

Yeah, I would have liked Tooru or Yana to have shown up. Would have been a nice tie-in to the manga.

Instead, we got Julian and F91 Imagine and a very weak tie-in.

But the evil Jigen Haoh guy is with the Miyagi team. Dilandau instead of some random fill-in would be awesome.
