I think it's worth noting that Gundam Build Divers isn't just another Gundam spinoff, it's a wholly new universe. And if anyone's interested, they put out a 15 minute long prologue episode

Oh cool. The manga really feels like he was given one weeks warning that the series was cancelled and he had to unexpectedly wrap everything up in one issue.

The weak link in terms of major characters might actually be Gauron. Making the villain a loose cannon who's steadily burning his bridges is fine for a storyline like the hijacking (it actually builds tension there), but makes him rather unthreatening in the long run. It doesn't help that pretty much the only thing from The Second Raid I've been spoiled on is that not only is Gauron the main villain, he comes back from apparent death again and again. Also, the "I'm not actually Chinese" bit made me worry that they're setting up a twist where he turns out to be Sosuke's father or something equally dumb.

Everything about Gauron was done better by Ali Al-Sachez in Gundam 00, and he still wore out his welcome in the second season.

I actually kinda like the one where the crowd in the stands behind them is just a flat blurry picture. It reminds me of how Bakemonogatari would have bystanders just be like stick figures.

I watched Orphen when I was a little kid and all I remember is the scene where he finally finds his childhood friend and sh'es been turned into a giant monster to birth monsters and Orphen throws up and then strangles her to death. I was like ten years old and that part really freaked me out

Is it true that the GuP animators kept trying to sneak in pantyshots and the director kept catching them and making them fix it, or is that just an urban legend?

Juvenile sexual humor is everywhere, sure, but in anime the pantyshot and accidental pervert jokes are weirdly ubiquitous tropes. I can't think of equivalents in western media I've seen.

What's the deal with all the joke in sitcoms about people walking in on someone in the shower? Is it supposed to be funny, or sexy? Someone who knows about Americans please explain

The first episode of Build Divers is out. It didn't blow me away, but It feels like it'll get better once all the characters in the OP are in the show. I'm especially interested in the shibari fox guy

the different mission types on display implies that there will be a variety to the action at least. So it's not going to make the mistake that Build Fighters Try did

I watched the first episode of Uma Musume expecting to like it but it sat poorly with me. The girls as horses thing made me more uncomfortable than I expected. I liked the character's antics and want Special Week to accomplish her dream, but then there'd be a scene where the trainer just felt up Special Week in public like it was fine, or one of the character's dehumanizing names would be said, or there's that girl who is wearing a bridle, and it just felt weird
