The Official Gundam Build Fighters Try Anime Thread Mk II

[AmuroNT1]

BTW Mark, I've had a pique of curiosity and you might be able to answer since you're working on the translation, but if you aren't allowed to say I'll understand.

Can you tell us if Fumina's idol is actually named "Lady", or if it was just a nickname/polite affectation on Yuuki's part?

[HellCat]

BF had the champion from England back out and put his grandson in his place.

If we assume similar governing is still in affect, anything seems possible.

[AmuroNT1]

Yeah, but the elder McKenzie had the excuse of a heart attack; I'm sure the tournament has provisions for justified substitutions in such cases (ignoring the fact that he was only faking it).

[YokozunaBulldozer]

So who is hyped for episode 9?
I do hope to see more of that G-Fighter's gimmicks.

[Mythgarr]

Strangely, I am more hyped for the next G-Reco episode.
Build Burning Gundam's repeated gimmicks bore me, Lightning Gundam's turn out not too awesome, and Winning Gundam ended up as booster parts for other kits...

[Strike Zero]

I am hyped for every episode.

Every episode is hype.

I live and breath the Build Fighters hype.

[BrentD15]

So, the real question we should be asking ourselves:
Meat Buns or Bentos?

[Strike Zero]

Provided that anything actually comes of it, bentos by a mile.

Not that I have anything against meat buns, mind you, but the bento here is just so much fresher and more exciting.

Meat bun by a mile are you kidding me. The dynamic between the two was awesome, the latter is way still too hilarious to take seriously.

Maybe when Sekai goes through puberty and actually gets a clue about girls it will amount to something. Until then, meatbuns by an Arian mile. Long live the queen.

Man, I missed quite a bit, but I can say this:

Fight was intense as hell.

CALLED IT. I KNEW THE SUPER MODE HAD TO APPEAR HERE. But now... why did Sekai pass out?

Next EP is another damn beach episode + THE BEARGGUY F FINALLY APPEARS.

[Outlaw]

The fight was pretty good, and it looks like The BB's super mode might come at a price. Hopefully that's enough to keep it from becoming an instant win button.

Spoiler

I would have to say that this episode had very final feel to it, what with all the cameos of past opponents, and wraps up the regionals arc nicely. Hopefully once if moves on to the nationals we'll get all that depth people won't shut up about.

If I had to name it I would call this the zombies fight, because nobody would stay dead.
It was also pretty funny when the G-Bomber started firing Big Zam toes everywhere.

Next Week: Swimsuit shenanigans.

[Xenosynth]

This week's episode basically confirmed that the show is definitely more typical shonen and less self-aware/tongue in cheek than the previous show (Though the other show still had signs of sillyness, I take Sekai's condition to be a bit more silly than even Aila's suit.) But in the end it doesn't matter, it was still a great battle and the show is still delivering on what I expect it to. This battle was great and hopefully they can keep getting better and better with the team battles, because this week was definitely their best.

[Strike Zero]

Spoiler

A-MEIJIN-G EPISODE. 10/10.

Let's have a rundown of the best moments.

- Not-Slegga gets to SMACK A BITCH.

- Gyanko continues to be the best girl.

- Meijin Kawaguchi appears to spouting off more cooky lines. That guy needs more screentime.

- Yuuma actually managed to be a badass.

- OH MY GOD DID THE G-FIGHTER JUST DOCK WITH THE V GUNDAM HOLY FREAKING SHIT

- The match is over... OR IS IT?! I seriously thought that Sekai was in serious danger of being TKO'd at that very moment. Lucky for him, Sei seems to have discovered the secret to crafting his Gunpla out of Orichalcum.

- He has also apparently developed some sort of Gunpla system that DRAWS ON THE LIFE FORCE OF THE FIGHTER VIA PLAVSKY PARTICLES. SEI, WAT R U DOIN? O_O

All in all, really great stuff. To reference Master Chinan, stuff like this is why I can't and won't quit Gunpla Builders.

And to top it all of, next week is a SWIMSUIT SPECIAL? MY BODY IS SO READY.

[Xenosynth]

Now that I think about it, maybe they'll make some EVA reference, with Sekai's Sync Ratio with his Gunpla being way too high, haha.

Edit:

Also, best cameo!

(I didn't do a cameo list because uh, I assume the 1 custom Geara Zulu wouldn't really need one, right? Haha)

[YokozunaBulldozer]

So, the real question we should be asking ourselves:
Meat Buns or Bentos?

JUICE! J-U-I-C-E JUICE!

Spoiler

Gosh what did I just see?!
THAT WAS SO HOT-BLOODED SINCE THE LAST EPISODE OF GETTER ROBO ARMAGEDDON AND GURREN LAGANN PLAYING FETCH WITH GALAXIES!
I guess I can drop the suspicions towards Suga now as he proved to be our Fellini of the show.
I felt sorry for Sudou as much as I loved how TRY Fighters won.
Either way, the NETKETSU HYPE IS REAL!
Also, is it just me or is Minato a chimera of Mao, Nils, and Sazaki?

And next time, Beargguy F! WHOO HOO!
Big sis finally gets to flap her gunpla wings!

[Kuruni]

Open, Akira actually make same slapping pose as when Selgger slap Mirai. Oh, and it's the moment I think he's really cool.

So is Gyonko, she recover nicely, no surprise that she's Suzumu's imouto (and I actually feel more impact of hrr lose from previous episode without narmy "death" scene).

So it look like my guess that they will use Damage A in national league. I guess from professional gunpla fighters' POV, Damage B is child play.

The mantis, despite standing at corner, somehow manage to steal spotlight.

And now, the meat of this episode...

Spoiler

Pinpoint barrier punch! I just wish we wold see Sekai's training. But it look cool enough.

V Gundam + B-Part look like true menace, and it is. And we finally see Yuuma and Sekai actually act like team.

This may sound silly, but I actually though Build Burning may lose for moment (sort of like, the next episode will start with "One year later...").

All burn mark and such on Sekai make me wonder what is the nature of Build Burning's super mode? The extreme particle release that make it too dangerous for user? Now I curious if Sei actually try to "seal" the thing...

The Black Turn A at the end look cool and...BEACH EPISODE!!!!

[Wingnut]

Spoiler

Lucky for him, Sei seems to have discovered the secret to crafting his Gunpla out of Orichalcum.

Spoiler

He did this by melting down old original Game Boys to use their Nintendium cases to make armor out of.

Spoiler

And to top it all of, next week is a SWIMSUIT SPECIAL? MY BODY IS SO READY.

Spoiler

Don't kid yourself, it's not ready for this

Not-Slegga gets to SMACK A BITCH.

[Kuruni]

Not-Slegga gets to SMACK A BITCH.

Just to make it clear

(I don't think anything before OP is spoiler)

[Ryujin]

I'm pretty glad that, instead of passing into irrelevance after her defeat, Gyanko would actually continue to have a significant role later in the episode. Oh, and I guess Shimon, too.

Also, I see that the Shingyo school of pickup techniques has seen some advancement since Mao's time.
