I like the IBO trailer. Looks like most of this is from Episode 1 like last time. I would have liked to have had a better look at what Barbatos looks like this season but whatever. I think he's getting more demonic, which is nice.

Try is. . .try.
I would rather Gundam Build Fighters (original) get an OVA instead of TRY but whatever. Bring on the Flaming karate gundam and more team battles that are far too short to make use of the team dynamic.

Oh, Never mind. There was a new Barbatos photo released.

Man Barbatos has been lifting since last season.

That barbatos line art is gorgeous. My girlfriend is in Korea at the minute and she recently surprised me with some gunpla. It's was such a surprise but she somehow managed to pick me a RG!

To be honest, I'm not exactly a fan of the red shoulder bits.

I'm really a fan of ol Barby being mostly white and black with some slight red bits.

I hope those arent integral to the HG and I can simply remove them. Maybe I'd paint them.
 
Yep. Try OVA looks exactly like more Try. At least Gyancelot is still glorious.

Red shoulders Barbatos looks alright, but the red is too bright imo (looking at the kit; it looks nicer on the art). Red shoulders should be asymmetrical, and I'm also not really a fan of the skirt armor.
 
Can't say I really like the additional red on the Barbatos, especially on the lower mouth. Mace-sword is good though, although I miss the mace-spear.

New Barb looks hideous, but then I find original Barb to be fucking ugly to with the only good IBO design to be the Asteroth.

Try looks fucking dumb, not Build's biggest supporter but damn I can't understand the decision to pimp out more Try when it was such a huge step down from Build Strike, Wing F, and X Maoh let alone the awful character down grades.

We need more UC announcements bad.
 
That Barbatos is straight-up God mode.
I'll get the HG, 1/100, PG, RG, etc. Anything they make of it is mine.

The Try preview is... eh... I don't think I can watch anything related to Try again.
Shia is still waifu so I'll buy the kit because I'm a consumer whore.
Also that orange/blue kit better be Sei's new project.
And Niiiiiiiiiiiiils Niiiiiiiiiielsen better have more than 10 seconds this time.

New Barbatos looks great. A much more natural upgrade than Form 6. I'm really interested to see where IBO picks up and where it goes. Really dug Season 1 despite the down step of a middle it had.

I don't like Build Fighters, so whether you make a Try or Original OVA, you aren't gonna get me to care much. Only looking forward to seeing what custom suits they bring out.

Yeah, will never be interested in Build Fighters. What little I saw wasn't bad, but...a series about Gundam models and not actual Gundams or war? I don't really get it.

The new Gundam frames look so boring and traditional... :(

Cannon one has got a bit of a unique twist to it, but I need to see it in color.

Other one is very standard gundam.

Yeah Orga looks like a mob boss.

I like the color and the Tekadan logo for the red shoulders, but they look too much like they were just an extra piece of armor put on over the shoulder armor that was already there.

That's kind of the point with Barbatos. The whole thing is supposed to look cobbled together as they upgrade it over time because it totally is cobbled together.

I hope the cannon one is blue and it's animal form is a turtle.

My issue is less the cobbled together thing, I get that, but more that it seems unnecessary since it looks like the old shoulder armor or something similar is already there. It bothers me more in the model picture than in the show pictures though, since the pictures from the show make it look a bit more like an acyual extension to the armor instead of just an extra piece thrown on for aesthetic purposes.

Gundam Season 2 curse, after the first season I will continue to doubt the second season until after the first 14 episodes so I know if it's shit, worse than G Tekketsu, or at least decent and dumb, like G Tekketsu.

Tekkadan is a PMC, they thrive off of conflict and war. They will be the antagonists and the true hero Gaelio will rise from the ashes and bring liberation against lolicon Char Clone and stupid warmongering Tekkadan.

They will repent for their sins in prison. War is not a game, not a means to live and make money you shitty brats.

Wait till you see the special features inside them...

IBO looks great. I'm loving all of the suit designs so far and business Orga is good. Barbatos Form 4 is still my favorite, but this one is also pretty cool.

Still disappointed they are doing more Build Fighters Try even if it is just an OVA. Sekai is one of the blandest and stereotypical protagonists I've seen. Hopefully the OVA actually manages to capitalize on the team aspect of the fights unlike the show.
 
I really don't like the ibo mecha. They dinner do anything for me. Despite this, still looking forward to it.

I'm looking forward to try ova. Hopefully SeI shows up

Really dig all the new IBO designs except maybe the new Barbatos, which probably just needs to grow on me. Looking forward to season 2.
 
Sweet. Never actually seen Victory.
It's an experience to say the least. You see how Macross at least has some respect for its female cast...Victory can't say the same thing. There are female done right in Victory and others that well...you're better off not even knowing the names of cause they probably don't even have names.

Gundam can be really weird with female characters.

Sort of tangentially related, but the first bizarre female character thing I remember was Mirai and Sleggar when I first saw the MSG movies years ago. All I remember is him slapping the shit out of her in front of everyone on white base, then suddenly 20 minutes later Bright is like "I know how you feel about him...." and she's rushing off the deck to see Sleggar. It was just like what the fuck is going on. Weirdest romance in cinematic history.

Anyone else pick up EX VS Force today? I know it's not supposed to be the best game but I feel like I have to show some franchise support anyway.
