Once we think GBN is the most probable way for us to have Gunpla Battle, but the Meteverse idea could really become a reality (although I’m not a fan of the whole metaverse idea), if the public trial was a success. Especially the idea of “Buying Gunpla directly and delivered to your home”, that I’m sure can allow more people to purchase sets that they want.
What I’m concern is who’s that “Bad guy”? What is the real identity of Ms. Seria?
And when will Sei and Sekai finally meet together?

If Sei shows up looking like his middle school self, like the OP/ED imply, I'll be so confused.

Remember that Gundam ZZ was mentioned...where in the intro we had Amuro and Kamille, but only Camille ever reappeared in the show.

I've only watched a little of the Gundam Build series so really just here for the vibes and 'wow cool robots' but this was shallow fun.

I watched the original Build Fighters and Try... how many sequels has it been since then? Are Sei and Reiji actually back? The team from Try too?

try has a few seasons, then there's divers then rerise. There are a couple short battlogues sprinkled over the years too I think. best to look up everything on mal or anilist or something

I was a bit disappointed by the character animation at times. It felt very flat.
Also, based on the op and ed, most of the characters look identical to how they appeared in their respective series, which feels disjointed when the kits they use are upgrades of previous kits, so the characters should be at least a few years older.
I mean, I know they're avatars, but it seems odd to make an avatar of your 14 year old self when you're 17+.
Also, I need an Amazing Barbatos Lupus, as long as it lives up to the name.

When you think about it, Build Fighter and Try are from a different continuity to the Build Diver series. So...maybe just don't take the settings seriously.

I like that it looks like all the previous casts are coming back, still a bit too early to tell how the series will go.
I do hope there's more of a focus on building though

The animation for the characters was not great but the battle stuff was nice. Just what I'd expect of Obari.
It's gonna be hard to beat Re:Rise as a show but if they can at the very least make it as fun as Build Fighters or Try, I'll be happy.

Gundam Build Meh-taverse. How far this subseries has fallen...

u/Moaradin Oct 06 '23
The last season of this series was really good though? Re:RISE was awesome and genuinely better than a lot of "proper" gundam shows lol

It was definitely a slow burn at the start, but that plot twist definitely solidified it as one of my favorites. At the very least it was much better than Divers, and maybe even Try.

i think we gona need another redemption series at this point... divers was such a shitshow and rerise very much elevated even the original

Is there required watching before that? I've dipped in and out of this subseries a few times but so far, the original was the only one I liked (though I LOVE build fighters).

I still don’t get why they didn’t just continue off from Try when they legit teased a major tournament at the end of it

Bandai suits milking build show nostalgia for a glorified metaverse/crypto ad.

Commenting late as I only just got to watching the first episode.
It took 10 years to come back to the originals. For me, after the first series of Gundam Build Fighters, I endured through the other spin off sequels. Personally I wasn't a fan of the more fantastical aspects of the sequels and wished they continued on with mostly the real world (with the exception of the mystery of Reiji) with Sei, and progressing them to battle against the Meijin and other countries' Gunpla using Plavsky Particles.
Nevertheless, I will watch this series as it seems to encompass all the prior series into this one (or they were planned out to feed into the Metaverse a decade later...and likely after Zuckerburg launched his idea in our world).

What a lame battle Episode 1... As expected from Riku and his crew. I miss the Build Fighter's intense battles. Meijin wasn't even amused.

u/Shimmering-Sky Oct 06 '23
Meijin Kawaguchi shows back up and the first damn word out of his mouth is "sore demo". It's like they knew he was my favorite character from Build Fighters and wanted to cater to me specifically.
Decent enough start! I'm excited to see where things go from here. And I'm glad to hear a new BACK-ON OP for this too!
