Gundam Build Fighters

@danna 45 You can watch all the current episodes on Gundaminfo's youtube subbed and in great quality. And yes, there is more to the show than Rinko, just wait till episodes 6 and 10.

Has the OST for this show been released yet? I need to hear Reiji's theme in its full glory.

No release date yet. I personally want Yuuki's theme as well as the theme that plays when Team Nemesis is usually around.

Double posting to let you guys know that episode 13 is out.

Baseball game on Mobile Suit? Awesome.

I'm not feeling well, so that's the only thing I could write.

Behold:

That was interesting.

I think this episode was made when Sunrise was on drugs. Or this was an episode where Sunrise had an idea that would never work in an average Gundam series so they put in this episode. I still liked it though.

Also, a question to Gundam veterans. I've only seen Gundam Wing, G, Seed, Seed Destiny, 00, and Age. But out of all those series they don't seem to be able to write or progress a organic/natural relationship. Is it my inner shipper talking or does it seem that Sei x China and Reiji x Aila seem to be the best relationship written by Sunrise?

Gundam has always been famously shit with romance, either because of corporate apathy or because Tomino is having one of his weird moments again. The two best-received ones are probably Domon/Rain from G and Harry/Kihel from Turn A, though they're merely serviceable rather than amazing.

What did I just watch. It was amazing and strange at the same time.

Well, now we just need reiji to find out about aila. (And the bus she went on had the same color scheme as her gunpla )

There's so much to say, the out-of-bound thing, fellini beating that guy (again), the hat on luang's gunpla.

And don't forget the president and his secretary.

You're forgetting the part where Aila pauses outside of the Nemesis trailer and stops for a bit to get into character before going in too.

Gundam Baseball. Freaking hilarious.

Also, Laser Yo-Yo of Death.

Kinda reminded me of Jonathan's fight against Tarkus in JJBA.

Apparently, Nil's Yoyo attack came from an old japanese movie. Just watch the first 30 seconds in.

Razorwire OP.

Bandai Nerf Nils pls.

Maybe a very small nod, but the tiny pistol Rainer got was one of the Strike Noir's "shorty" beam rifles that look like pistols but have the same output as a beam rifle.

I don't know how I feel about this episode.

The G Gundam reference was awesome as hell, but the Baseball scene was fucking stupid and robbed me of what I was hoping to be a good fight.

And come on...GO KARTING NEXT EPISODE?

For the first time, I'm not excited for an episode of Build Fighters.

Yeah I was hoping for a good fight too....

You know, it does kinda make sense though.

While Gunpla battles are awesome, if you keep having them over and over it gets stale. So have a breather match or two and then have the pilots come back for the big last round.

Sei probably would have had a backup plan since the Absorb Shield got destroyed the last time. It makes some sense-there's always a surprise in this tournament.

Hell, the Chairman probably thought this whole round up. It would fit in with his character.

I'm enjoying this, though. It's a nice journey outside of the usual Gundam comfort zone, as someone pointed out.

For those interested, the episode summaries for 14-17 have leaked, and my hatred is truly maximum.

Episode 14: "Code Name C" For the 7th period, a special course of three laps to compete in "Gundam RACE", Sei and Reiji's Star Build Strike shows an astounding start dash. But in the race, it seems like this is the end for Sei and Reiji...

Episode 15: The Warrior's Shine Sei and Reiji's next battle, an absolute requirement to win... But the next opponent is the undefeated Italian champion from 7th period, Ricardo Fellini! Can Sei and Reiji win?

Episode 16: Removed since I can't get the spoiler format to work for some reason.

Episode 17: Shape of Heart Final phase of the world tournament begins. Sei and Reiji's opponent for the first round is Yasaka Mao. The promise that was vowed during that encouter to battle together for the world championship, is finally fulfilled. Now, the mortal combat of Star Build Strike and Gundam X Maoh begins

I'm dreading 15 since Fellini is my favorite character in the show and I don't want Gundam Ezio to lose.

Well we asked for some epic one on one fights, we'll be getting them in about 2 of them very soon.

Also, apparently 4chan liked the episode. Enough to do this. Looks like Gundam models (well some of them) can do what the Star Build did in the episode.

Damn.

They sent that to one of the producers of the show's twitter, he actually commented on it.

Link to that twitter post please.
