Gammatron 64 posted:I love the look of the OZ suits. Too bad they're a complete joke in fiction. Then again I just tend to like grunt suits better period. The funny thing is, from a purely technical standpoint the Leo could probably chump a lot of the OYW/other AU grunts. The problem lies in the fact that the setting's Gundams outclass everything by a disgusting margin. Wing Zero and Epyon in particular are basically untouchable.

I'm pretty sure someone has ran the numbers and found that a Leo would basically be a protagonist-grade machine in any other Gundam show aside from maybe 00.

It's sort of telling when the prototype of the Leo had a tendency to turn its test pilots' organs into meat slurry through excessive G-forces.

Those test pilots just weren't grunting and pulsing their muscles or whatever it is you do to deal with G forces hard enough. Though I think it says something for OZ pilots that when not in space they'll pilot in practically dress uniforms  .Also Leos don't have basically 4 Saturn V rockets strapped to their backs and cutely called "verniers". God I love the Tallgeese.

Eh, if someone wants to put me on ignore because I didn't like an anime enough, I can't give a drat. The mentioned of an MG Build Burning actually made me wonder what they're going to do for its upgrade unit. I assume he's going to build his own Gunpla after learning about the joy of Gunpla Buildings because they want to sell more toys, but it'd be kind of hard to imagine him out building a Sei Iori super-custom. Maybe it'll be a team effort and they'll all work together to make an upgrade. Danball Senki ended up doing three-man teams where they eventually had their robots combine into one super-powerful robot. I wonder if they'll borrow that for the upgrade instead. It'd even give them a unique gimmick since Gundam hasn't really done actual mecha combiners before. Combining backpacks and poo poo but not really full-on super robot combiners. We know from the pre-release stuff they're going to do 3-v-1 battles with mobile armors at least.

Man, Nils reinvented Plavsky Particles, there is like a 100% chance of him showing up 7 years old at some point.  I hope he has somehow become even more samurai in that time. Just walking around with a topknot and katana and a labcoat and treating it like it is 100% normal.

One thing that keeps coming up when I listen to the soundtrack is that I keep feeling like its from a Final Fantasy game. Like listen to Allied Force from the first season. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dd46nIoKJq8 I swear the intro to that is straight out of FFIV. Likewise, in this episode you have a jazzy, finger snapping song that sounds straight out of FFVI when the three of them are talking right before the battle challenge.

I think the cameo I'm most looking forward to is Fellini and Kirara because Fellini was easily my favorite character from the first season and Kirara was up there too (and used a gerbera tetra for bonus points). Assuming that relationship held, they could even reasonably have a kid in 7 years, and Fellini would totally be the doting-est dad. Is it weird to care about the characters' relationships in a show about toy robots punching (buy them, kids!) almost as much as said toy robots punching?

He carries a briefcase everywhere with an emergency kimono, in the hopes that one day he can get away from her security guards and live freely, as a man should.

I honestly imagine Fellini and Kirara basically ending up like Max and Miria where they go through periods of awkward breakups followed by blowing the poo poo out stuff together. chumbler posted:Is it weird to care about the characters' relationships in a show about toy robots punching (buy them, kids!) almost as much as said toy robots punching? No, Build Fighters was honestly really good about making the characters and their relationships fun and easy to care about. It was part of what the show did really well. I mean none of them are deep characters but most of the ones with screentime are really fun. I think the biggest duds are probably Mao and his girlfriend and China and even then China and Sei are cute together.

Speaking of Nils, I hope his parents show up this season. Back when he was introduced for the very first time, I was expecting his parents to look absolutely nothing like the silhouettes in his WWE promo video, and I was a little disappointed that they straight up never showed at all.

You know what just occurred to me. Why the gently caress does Ramba Ral know the name of the Build Burning Gundam? Did Sei show it off before hiding it away? Or is it just Ramba Ral being Ramba Ral?
