Visiting relatives.

Although this is a good time to pick up some gunplaaaaaaaa.
 
Episode 6 has the best single continuous fight since ep2. Great stuff. This show moves so fast. Next week we're going to get our first Mobile Armor battle. Obari will be handling the mecha animation direction no less. Yum yum.
 
Gundam Build Fighters Episode 6:

So this is what toyetic plastic model duels look like when they have the animation budget to buy Belgium with, so very pretty. Indeed, after a storyline delay because shockingly, and I mean that, the entire world does not revolve around Gunpla. They even play the Heart of the Cards trope rather sensibly, mentioning that it is a silly hobby with nothing as serious as lives being on the line and people can walk away from this. WHAT MADNESS IS THIS???? Anyway, looks like next week's episode is going to be one that is going to receive a lot of commentary because I think every anime ever is required to have one of these kinds of episodes.

But will he be handling Rinko's animation for that episode as well?

I'm sure Michinori Chiba will do a great job with it. He handled the character animation direction for ep2 and it was filled with really awesome expressions. I'm sure he will add an extra bounce to ep7! :)
 
I'm finding it more and more difficult to watch the show when it airs on TV. How do people do this without some sort of recording hardware? I haven't watched a series alone right when it airs in years because of this.
 
Just saw the the episodes up too 6. This show is just too good and makes me want to try building model kits again. The story is very well paced and the Gundam's are on point. Great series. I give it 10 Haro's out of 10.

Amazing episode all around especially the second half when things got going and their declaration pumped me up immensely. The music combined with all the characters feeling those sincere, determined, dedicated, emotions and having this unspoken and yet deeply connected and shared feeling was pretty cool. I was finally starting to slightly feel the mech fight too, probably best one for Build Strike thus far.

Im still hoping we get some gunpla there with bits though, then the action will really take off as their the most definitive aspect to the gundams.

Hyped for Beach episode Reiji Sei, but no Mao?

Yay, Build Gundam Mk-II :D Awesome battle sequence between the Zaku Amazing and Build Strike as well.

And lol at the Patrick Colasour cameo when his GN-X lost to the kid's Apsalus. Good eye Ju.

Apsalus
is in the next episode
. Patrick lost to an Asshimar.

I really want the music to the Zaku Amazing Battle. It's so good!
 
Loved the fight and how it transitioned from actual technique and finesse into brutal counters, until the part where they where just firing point blank into each others faces (and the Char kick was another great nod). This show has more energy than all other gundam shows combined. Kind of ironic, really.

The reasoning for peoples enjoyment of gunpla and the battles makes sense too. The fantasy and toy aspect of it makes it exotic and interesting, rather than the Gundams just being another step in the development of engines of murder and mass destruction. Gundam Build Fighters protagonists are living the dream indeed.
 
That next episode preview, lol. Saw it on my twitter.

Episode 6 was awesome. I wish we could've saw more of Build Mk-II though.

Belgium has the 25th largest GDP in the world, this either speaks of the animation quality or how much you underestimate us. Guess I'll find out tomorrow.
 
Episode 6

Well damn! What a battle.

A great combination of music, animation, and fight choreography. They went all out.

And we're still only 6 episodes in.
 
I think it'll get a lot weirder before it ends. At the rate we're going, we'll tear through the World Tournament by ep13-15 or so. That still leaves about half a series of content for whatever stuff they have lined up with PSEE's secrets and Reiji's world. :D

Reiji come from a world where there's actually a real gundam and a war is coming so he's recruiting Sei and friends's to his world to fight actual war.
 
I don't think there's any war or real Gundams in Reiji's world. I do think though, that the Plavsky Particles which PPSE uses to enable the Gunlpa Battles originate from his world. It doesn't seem like a natural human tech. So it's entirely possible that with the right equipment, Gunpla from our world would be able to operate like actual mechs in his world.
 
This show really is Amazing.
I was smiling all through Ep 6. Can't remember the last time I was feeling so joyful while watching anime.

Also that Mk-II looks awesome. Can't wait to see it in battle some more.
I'll probably buy that one and pose it next to my PG MK-II.

I hope that's the plan for S2. Sei convinces Bandai to move the Odaiba Gundam to Reiji's world so they can actually pilot it.
