That was pretty good, I guess. It was nice to see that the show could have some character animation, even if it was only for a couple of scenes.

I'm glad to see lots of crazy super-robot stuff in here because really, there's no point in going half-way on that stuff.

My only real complaint with that final sequence is the director doesn't seem to understand how the iconography depicting is generally portrayed. Compare and contrast with how say, Imagawa, handles such super-attack imagery and you can see that he really understands the whole concept far better. It's hard to describe exactly what's off, but it just doesn't look as cool as it should. I think it's a mix of pacing, angles lighting that just throws it off.

 

[Shouta]

Great episode. A little bit of shipping for comedy's sake but mostly focused on the battles like it should be. Fumina's reactions in the first part slayed me. Nearly lost it at the Powerpuff version of her.

Transient Gundam is defintiely Tekkaman Blade, lol. It looks like it uses a combination of Quant and Exia's chest design but has Kyrios arms. The spear looks brand new which is boss.

Dug the special attack Sekai did but the animation could have been focus more on in close shots of it being formed. The director wanted to portray creating it on the fly by having Sekai do it while still going at Wilfrid but as a result, some impact was lost there.

Build Burning learns Akashic Buster.

 

[Shouta]

Build Burning learns Akashic Buster.

Needs to change INTO the bird to be the Akashic Buster. But yeah, that's basically the move even with the end of animation wing flap, lol.

 

[RangerBAD]

Oh, so it's GN-9999 Transient Gundam.

 

[Haly]

The director clearly doesn't have Imagawa's burning heart.

 

[Crimsonlink]

LOL The first half of the episode was comedy gold!

But man the fight in the 2nd half were epic! Cherudim vs Transient where that noob got rekt but Sekai bringing it back with his exploding fists! I love how the Zaku got rekt so fast so no time was wasted.

Wonder what mobile armor the Cherudim guy uses?

Lots more 2nd season 00 suits now in show. <3

Also my favorite part of Hoshino's love rival reaction from the show.

 

[Vecks]

Really liked the episode. Although the time limit at the end was a bit too convenient since Build Burning had pretty much self-destructed with that move.

 

[WarRock]

Sekai went full Phoenix Ikki with that Hoyoku Tenshou lol

 

[Kojirospath]

Transient Gundam is the best thing ever (huuuuge Tekkaman fan). Planning on getting Gundam Breakers 2 and that shit better be DLC!

Edit: Never knew Tekkaman to be that popular though, to see it get refrenced in a Gundam show is quite surprising.

 

[Hero]

Transient Gundam is awesome.

Good episode, hopefully it maintains this pace.

New OP/ED next week?

 

[CragMan241]

I suddenly have an urge to play Tatsunoko vs. Capcom...

I'm glad Wilfrid wasn't a jerk to Sekai. Transient Gundam is pretty awesome too. Fumina's reactions during the first half were godlike, especially when she went all Powerpuff Girls looking. Why is Yuuma still here?

 

[Valkerionseven]

I'm glad Wilfrid wasn't a jerk to Sekai.

Same here, would have made him a very uninteresting rival if he were the typical jerk. Glad the show is moving to the real competition, hopefully the animation gets a bit better. Also hoping for a bluray version. The quality of the releases so far saddens me each week.

 

[Deadly]

Glad the show is moving to the real competition

I'm actually wondering how this will work since there's also the world championships. Team Gunpla Academy seem really badass and I'd hope they would still appear for the worlds. I almost hope they pull something off like in S1 so both of them pass through.

What Gundam would make a good Pegas?

[Coppanuva]

Transient Gundam is going to get a model right? Please?

 

[Divvy]

Anyone order the Unicorn LED lights from GGInfinite?

They posted a few days ago on Gundamguy that they didn't get enough shipment from Bandai and will be emailing people who won't be able to get theirs until march/april. Anyone heard anything from them?

 

[donkey show]

Obviously:

Xi or Penelope, mang.

Transient Gundam is going to get a model right? Please?

I wouldn't be surprised. It's a prominent rival suit and the only ones that haven't been made into kits yet that feature on the official website are the jobber Zaku team, G-Bull, The End.

Ugly ass gundams.

[kayos90]

Anyone else notice how Meijin's neck collar and tie pulls off the Gundam face motif?

He just needs to go all in and go Sekiharem Love Love.

Meijin is the fucking best.

 

[Moaradin]

Just saw the episode. This show is hype as fuck and we aren't even in the tournament yet. So good.

 

[lordfroakie]

At least there's this.

Who are those other characters?

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

Who are those other characters?

Pink Hair and handstand are from Tribe Cool Crew

Orange hair is Love Live

Blonde hair is Aikatsu!

Episode 13

MOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNN!!!!

 

[MHWilliams]

I love Exia, so Transient will be the third Gundam Build Fighters kit I buy. I already own Dark Matter and Amazing.

 

[Acid08]

They just decided to mash like a bunch of other robot anime into this shit didn't they?

Got this one dude having a Tekkaman Gundam and then Sekai using the Gotchaman Phoenix attack as his ultimate move. Dude still hasn't done the Erupting Burning Finger or Sekiha Tenkyoken though, guess that'll happen only when he and Fumina get together for that Love Love Tenkyoken finale.

Also I noticed that kick shot with the moon in the back. Looked awesome.

Finally, while I don't like the Exia as much as some other people I was glad to see that the rival has a spear as a weapon and that it looks more Tekkaman-ish than Gundam to me so that's cool.

Still waiting for custom spiegel or maxter though.

I feel like this'll be an end of the season thing.

Just get the shitty 00 suits out of the way now so there won't be any later on plz.

 

[MHWilliams]

Exia forever.

 

[Acid08]

Whenever I see the Exia I just think about dumpster boy Setsuna and frown forever.

 

[Valkerionseven]

Only 00 suit I need injected into my veins right now is Throne Eins.

a customized version of this mofo.

-oooo perfect- Just mad the only version we got of it was a HG, even worse all the online shops with it are in like... Thailand and shit for w/e reason.

 

[Mengetsu]

Motherfuckers is breaking the moon while making east burn red with Phoenix attacks! Exia Custom Build Gundam that looks right out of Tekkablade! My fucking goodness the hype!

Episode 13

Great way to return to the series after the break. I especially loved the Fumina expressions when she saw Sekai with the ~mysterious girl~. Looool. I love those faces, they really make the show. Overall I think this multi-part training arc has been pretty cool. I really helped elevate the show above the more boring qualifying tournament from the first half, and it introduced more interesting opponents, some old faces, and just re-energized the show. The animation for the show on average is still inferior compared to the first series, but the fights are still enjoyable, the customized mechs are cool, and there's some pretty good art in the not-so-animated frames.

Next week we should be getting a new OP/ED too. Yay!

 

[donkey show]

Looking more into it, Transient looks more like it's based off of Astraea (granted it's essentially pre-Exia) with the head and core. Always been a bigger fan of Astraea more than Exia, especially the red Type-F variant.

Also, it looks like another HG Build Fighters unit is coming in March. Hope it's Transient.

They'll probably "accidentally" have the new OP/ED be reused footage like G-Reco and Ange.

Oh awesome, good deal. I wasn't sure what role it has in the show (haven't started watching it yet, plan to start in a few weeks once it'll get close to me finishing when the show ends), but it looks hella awesome. Glad to hear it's likely.

If we get a new OP next week with no Domon sighting I want my money back

that first image looks like something out of the powerpuff girls lol

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

I'm probably super slowpoking on this, but I didn't notice it and I didn't see anyone else talk about it (maybe I missed it) but there is a Shining Finger on Sekai's chest in the OP when he looks to see his silhouetted master.

WHATEVER COULD THIS MEAN

Spoiler

I'm sure everyone noticed this way before me ;_;

Oh and the OST is out.

These two are my favorite tracks.

I hope I'm not late on that too.

 

[Prologue]

Season 2 is just a little notch below season 1, but I love both seasons. This series has a lot of heart and keeps asking me to come back for next week. Its like all the dramatic fight scenes I've imagine in my head over the years.


Now I just want them to release season 1 and 2 on blu ray

..About that. Build Fighters Box 1, Build Fighters Box 2, Try Box 1. Should note that Try's is a preorder that will be released in March. Hope you have deep pockets lol. Of course I suppose there could be nonlimited(assuming they exist) edition versions somewhere else a little cheaper but yeah.
