I just didn't want to admit to it.

That Prison School thing was... Yeesh. It already sounds horrendous, throwing in gratuitous script changes to plug already dated jokes is just "why"
Might as well drop some hot Donald Trump references for good measure.

The first anime I remember seeing bits of was Inuyasha, although I was quite young at the time and I don't recall much of it aside from the first episode being weird and a looped sequence where Inuyasha was carrying someone while jumping along some rocks. As well as that I watched bits of Keroro Gunsou when I was younger as well, but I never watched the episodes in any particular order. Azumanga was probably the first anime I watched in its entirety.
Why would anyone rewatch that? D:

Sounds great. It's a dub, localizing the jokes is perfectly acceptable. If you want your straight literal translation, go read the subs.

Can you really say that after watching this?

Fake edit: How does it have over 4 million views?!
My first anime was probably Speed Racer on Cartoon Network, but I barely cared about it. The first couple anime shows I watched regularily were Dragon Ball (not Z, mind you), Sailor Moon and Saint Seiya. I wouldn't even try to rewatch any of them nowadays because they've all probably aged pretty badly (I did watch a single episode of Speed Racer a couple years ago... and man, the pacing was slow as hell compared to modern anime's).
I later watched stuff such as Slayers, Detective Conan and Ranma 1/2. Dotto Koni-chan was also really fun to watch (it was a gag dub that actually made the show pretty popular, down to the point that its Wikipedia entry in Spanish is actually longer than in Japanese!).
Shows I never got into that were also airing at that time were Captain Tsubasa, You're Under Arrest, Orphen and Slam Dunk (all I can remember from the last one is Hanamichi Sakuragi's name).

No no no nononononononono
It should be Gundam Build Fighters. C'mon. By the time SamFlam is finished it'll be the 2 year anniversary of when it first aired. The timing is just perfect.

But Gundam Build Fighters won't result in mass bans and a new salted earth policy.

Exactly! It will result in happiness, fun, and a bunch of people buying Gunpla.

I started watching anime in the 90s.
But in terms of heavily paying attention to what was in the upcoming season, getting excited for shows prior to them airing, and following the latest stuff week to week? Probably around 2004?
I know the first show I was really aware of prior to it airing in Japan was Digimon Tamers in 2001, but prior to about 2004 I mostly just became aware of shows after they started, and wasn't too well versed in what was a part of each season, as I can recall.
This. I tried to watch it and dropped it after 1 or 2 episodes, because I just found it boring beyond anything. I also haven't seen any other Gundam show, so that may also be a reason.

This is wrong.

Ahahahahahahaha.
You've seen nothing yet.
Gundam Build Fighters Season 1 is one of the best mecha shows in the last ten years.
Well, maybe, but it doesn't help that it starts out so boring. D:

There's a difference between localization and throwing in pop culture references willy-nilly, which is not the best comedic technique whether you're translating or not.

The first half of the show is the best part of it. God knows it wasn't the ending.

The only Funi dub that changed the script substantially that was good was Shin-Chan
ACTION BASTARD, BASTARD BEAM!
I'm sorry, but if it doesn't have some kind of hook in the first three episodes (which is more than an hour!), it's dull. There's no immediacy in GBF at the beginning. Children playing with their Gundam models screaming: BUY OUR TOYS is not my way of spending quality time. I'd rather watch any other Gundam show. At least they can still be entertaining. Like train wrecks.

Gundam Build Fighters is great! It's undiluted mecha greatness in all its hype inducing glory!
Sölf, I thought our anime compatibility was 80% according to MAL, but it looks like I was mistaken
RIP nintendoman. Looks like he broke.

That was a weirdly good episode for this bad show.
Episode name game on point

It probably was mine, unless you count anime I watched as a little kid before I knew what anime was (and there it was probably Kimba or maybe Voltron).

Pretty enjoyable finale. The car salesman was a very fun character.

I though it was supposed to be over by now. I keep waiting until the last ep and it never ends.

You know the quality has been going slightly higher and higher lately?
Of course he is watching one of the best shows currently airing.

Next episode (hopefully)
It fluctuates at random. Some episodes are pretty cool, some are just snoozefests.

The villains in G are terrible. The girls are all idiots who enable Dr. Ver because they never realize he is duping them when it's very, very obvious. Not even Sugita can save his character, he sucks. Fine and Carol are better but they aren't that good either
You know I am right. You just won't admit it.
And 26 episodes according to MAL, so 2 more weeks.
