Hobby Link Japan is really good but Amazon usually has some kick ass prices with free shipping. It's actually surprising how good Amazon is for Gunpla.

Yeah I've been going though Amazon and they have almost all of them. I'll get two high grade $20 dollar kits just to play with them. Master Grade and Perfect Grade are to expensive and I'll mess them up I bet.
 
It's sad that the episode where nothing happens is one of the best written this season. Like they suddenly realized that 95% of the characters have the depth of a shot glass and they started scrambling to try and make them worth caring about.

Other than that I really liked how they end the episode by coming up with excuses for the obviously superior team to lose with Adou suddenly having some horrible hidden wrist issue, that's just fantastic. And dear god Try Fighters are actually going to combine, just kill me now.

Also, WOW, building in Gundam BUILD Fighters.
 
Things we learnt in this week's episode of talking over flashbacks:

gbftry2315iuhj.jpg

1) Yuuma is a grabby asshole who takes people's Gunpla without their permission, kicks them out of their room and then re-assembles them without asking for them to help even though they are clearly competent builders:


2) Fumina has the ability to stand around and watch two boys work on Gunpla for many minutes on end without saying a word to them or offering to help. She's proven to be a fine builder so I dunno why this happened.


3) Three frames is all you need to animate a single attack.


4) This guy MUST be stalking Jun in his car. There is literally no reason for him to ALWAYS turn up when Jun has just finished with a scene. Is he trying to bone Jun?


5) This guy is a Doctor because he has Doctor clothes.


6) Apparently, according to the writers on this show, it perfectly acceptable to shove awful sports cliches into literally the last second of an episode.

7) In general, it's best to develop all your characters at the END of the show.
 
Hey guys let's give Adou a serious, lingering injury without any foreshadowing whatsoever in the final moments of the episode, introduced by a character we've never seen before. Drama!

I also feel kinda bad for Gunpla Academy, since apparently nobody likes them, while everybody is falling over themselves to help Try Fighters.
 
hmmm the wrist thing has been mentioned several times throughout the show. It's like the only thing in this show that has been mentioned beforehand.

Clearly she didn't want to be a third wheel

3) Three frames is all you need to animate a single attack.

Four hands in three frames, dat Japanese efficiency

5) This guy is a Doctor because he has Doctor clothes.

A doctor from the 1930's maybe

Can't play with Gunpla, can't masturbate. It truly is The End for Saga
 
Didn't the wrist thing come up a few episodes ago?

They should build a wrist brace out of gunpla mid-match.

It's 100% been mentioned, in so far as it's been given the odd line here and there.

In a 20+ episode show you can't just casually name drop something and then pretend it's a big deal because it's the final fight, you have to make it a significant factor beforehand or else it just feel like bullshit. Moreover you can't introduce it as a big deal in the very last shot of the episode. Ugh.

(I know you weren't specifically defending the writing).

It has, but I don't think it was ever made out to be as big a deal like now. Also the fact that it didn't even show up in the previous fight is bullshit.
 
Seriously, a wrist injury from playing gunpla?? come on... you can't seriously pull that crap after sekai practically gets destroyed in every other episode and is 100% fine after a nap.
 
carpal tunnel awareness anime

Seems to me more a matter of presentation than the fact that it's actually used. Lazy writing, but it's made particularly risible by the inclusion of the doctor, from what I can tell.

Well, to be fair they can explain the nocebo effect away by just saying the body is simulating the pain but not actually damaging the body where Adou actually has physical damage to his wrist.

Carpal tunnel syndrome is serious business, you better watch after your hands/wrist before staying all week in front of a pc

darn, beaten by Dresden
 
After this show ends, I hope bamco put a long break from Build Fighter series. I've been enjoying GBFT but it is clearly a stepdown from GBF. Hopefully they can come up with something original (but not as original as G Recon bs).

Do you remember how many times Adou has randomly punched a wall in anger/frustration? Finally got to him.

Come with us! Follow us to the world you seek!
 
Confused,

Why did the episode spend time to have them agree to build together, then right after they all split up? Show seems to go out of its way to show how incompatible they are as a unit.

Or, wait, how about this - as soon as this season ends they announce Try Season 2 - World Championship Edition.

Because that's basically going to happen. Practically every character has been name dropping the World Tournament in the last few episodes.

GBF Open. With the true cast returning, pls.
 
Typical calm-before-the-storm filler. Why are they trying to hide Sei so much?

I haven't watched this season yet. From the sound of things here it doesn't sound that good.

How bad did the quality drop from season 1?

Not as good, but still a solid fun show overall. Jex just being Jex.
