History YMMV / GundamBuildFightersTry

** "[[Series/PimpMyRide Yo, dawg! I heard you like Gunpla Battles...]]"[[note]]Thanks to the spectacular debut of the Build Burning Gundam in the pilot episode, fans have started references to Xzibit's famous line...[[/note]]

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: The first opening theme, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K416quzMCQ0 "Cerulean"]] by BACK-ON, which really sets the tone of the show and accompanies Build Burning Gundam's reveal, [[spoiler:as well as the SuddenDeath round between Sekai and Wilfred in the tournament finals.]]

** [[http://www.reddit.com/r/OneTrueMeijin The ''real'' Gundam Jesus]] has arrived! [[labelnote:Explanation]] Toward the end of episode 11, the Amazing Red Warrior descended from a hole in the clouds down toward the battlefield, wrapped in sunlight and with its palms held out. To top it all off, the sunlight from his appearance causes a plant to bloom anew. People quickly drew parallels with a certain religious figure, while some fans have immediately declared Meijin to be this instead of [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEED Kira Yamato]]. Has also caused a bit of a FandomRivalry with fans of ''LightNovel/TheIrregularAtMagicHighSchool'', as the male lead character shares his first name, AND is a very divisive Marty Stu. The link provided in this entry was made [[http://www.reddit.com/r/OneTrueTatsuya in response to such]].[[/labelnote]]

** Sakai is somewhat obsessed with his rivalry with Yuuma. Taken UpToEleven in Episode 22 [[spoiler: with craploads of hot blood reminiscent of battle scenes from ''any'' {{Super Robot|Genre}} anime]].

* UncannyValley: Just about '''''every''''' real-life release of an MS Girl kit, notably the face decals. [[note]]Unless you're a professional modeler that knows how to do a good make-over on the figure's faces.[[/note]]

* FoeYay: Sakai is a little ''too'' obsessed with beating Yuuma in Gunpla building competitions...

* [[FanPreferredCouple Fan-Preferred Couples]]: Though there are multiple ships (as described below), the most popular at this point are between the three main characters, i.e. Sekai/Fumina or Yuuma/Fumina. One can argue that most of the Ship Battles are based around those two.
** [[Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack No...]] [[TakeAThirdOption There is]] [[OneTrueThreesome another...]]
** Despite being Sekai's elder sister and the series appear to pair up Mirai with Yuuma, that doesn't stop fanartists from going the ''incest'' route. [[UnwantedHarem And sometimes throwing Fumina and/or Kaoruko into the mix as well.]]

*** For the {{Yaoi Fangirl}}s of the show, there's also (as of Episode 23) [[spoiler:[=HMS YuuSakai=]]] and [[spoiler:[=HMS AkiJunya=]]]. As for their LesYay counterparts, there's [[spoiler:[=HMS FuuShia=]]].

*** To a lesser extent: [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamCharsCounterattack Je]][[Anime/MobileSuitGundamUnicorn gan]] [[{{Mondegreen}} How're You?!]]

* SelfFanservice: Gyanko's not much wider than the other girls yet most of the fanart of her tends to make her a lot chubbier with very large breasts.

* ToughActToFollow: As the followup to a very well-received series that together with Anime/MobileSuitGundamUnicorn helped to WinBackTheCrowd after Anime/MobileSuitGundamAGE, ''Try'' had a very uphill battle that, while it did okay, was less favorite upon compared to its predecessor.

* VindicatedByHistory: With the release of ''Anime/GundamBuildDivers'', the criticisms towards ''Try'' have been slightly reduced to some extent. Some fans argue that ''Try'', while still inferior to ''Build Fighters'', kept many appealing aspects of it that ''Build Divers'' lacked.

** ShipSinking: Come Episode 15 though, [[spoiler:Sekai/Gyanko seems to have fallen into this category, but for consolation sake, Shimon/Gyanko gets added in.]]

* OneSceneWonder: Marika Hoshino, who only shows up in one episode and the Island Wars OVA, was beloved by fans for being an adorably silly ShipperOnDeck like [[Anime/BuildFighters Rinko Iori]] was and lamenting her lack of screentime.

** Special mention goes to the tenth [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rSgGLoE-hrg track]] of OST 1, '''"[[Anime/MobileFighterGGundam These Hands of Mine Shine With a Roar]]"''', used in scenes where Sekai is going in for the win. It was most memorably heard in Episode 9, when he has fully assimilated with Build Burning.

* AmericansHateTingle: Surprisingly true to the trope, The mecha girl Gunpla (HGBF Super Fumina, Chinagguy, Hyper Gyanko & [[spoiler:Miss Loheng-Rinko]] and their variants) and dozens of Petitgguy variants have caused this have sold well in Japan, but many of the foreign builders still regard those kits as the "poor man's Frame Arm Girls" and the ''black sheep'' of the Gunpla lines, which the fans believed that Bandai opted making those variants instead of producing ''actual'' kits of their fan favorite non-''Build Fighters'' Mobile Suits and make the hobby look bad to outsiders.

* {{Sequelitis}}: Given its lower budget and shorter production time, it's unsurprising that the series is considered inferior to its predecessor. Many viewers consider it legitimately poor on its own merits, while some merely think it just can't stack up to the original. Almost no viewers think it's as good as the original ''Gundam Build Fighters''.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter: Unlike his teammates, Sekai doesn't really have a clear arc in the first half of the series, especially when compared to Reiji and Yuuki's rivalry in ''Build Fighters''. He just fights without any real endgame or purpose.
* ToughActToFollow: As the followup to a very well-received series that together with Anime/MobileSuitGundamUnicorn helped to WinBackTheCrowd after Anime/MobileSuitGundamAGE, ''Try'' had a very uphill battle that it couldn't win. Even many viewers with positive thoughts about the series tend to admit that it's inferior to its predecessor.
