Ah, even more kids into the Gundam franchise now. This guy was pretty awesome though in the episode: http://i.imgur.com/5p6ZhJI.png

I kinda liked the new models. Dat OST. The fight was okay I guess, wish it didn't end abruptly though.

Hey man, Gunpla can get you girls !! LOL
So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

Did Ricardo just use Gunpla to hit on women? And Victory Gundam at that.
Now I've seen everything. Oh dio mio!

If the info on the Gundam episode on YT didn't say that Mao was a boy, I would never have known. Gundam X(Maoh) vs (Build) Strike and Victory vs Wing custom in the same episode. Nice. Though the reasoning as to how the Strike evaded that satellite cannon was kind of bullshit.
Ral appearing out of nowhere yet again still gets me every time. This guy is awesome.
Yuuki dropping out is unexpected but that means an easy victory against that Sazaki. That guy improving is out of the picture. Let's see why Yuuki was in that plane in the preview.

It was enjoyable as expected. Their imaginary battle was funny and exciting. China was low-key and likable as always. Wonder why Tatsuya cancelled the entry.

Smiled all stupid like when I saw the Crossbone X-1 Gundam and the S Gundam.
I was like wtf they show that Mao build a freaking HG Kshatriya in a freaking moving truck.
Poor Ricardo got cockblocked and holy freaking crap dat Wing Fenis pose...!

No best mecha collection boy! No best mecha collection!

The end part... It looks like Yuuki is standing of something that looks like it's from Gundam Breaker...

Yuuki has ascended to UNATTAINABLE RIVAL. Evidently, they will go on to the meet this foe at the world stage. Frankly, I'm glad. Facing their rival this early would be sorta anti-climactic, especially since I heard that this series is going to be 39 episodes...? I'm not sure if that's true.

I'm pretty sure they can't make that guy any more Italian. Rides a scooter, has long hair, says suave things to women, does unnecessary things with sunglasses - the stereotype is strong with this one.

It seems the chance to see Kshatriya in battle is slim now.
Now waiting to see PsychoGundam.

Seeing Ricardo trying to flirt girl with gundam, reminds me that I once build NG Astray Blue Frame at campus ground, and my crush saw and help me built it. It was a blissful moment. She even call it 'our son'. O////O

Agree with you straggy on the 'anti-climatic'.
39 episodes? Good. More time to explain where Reiji come from, and there's many gunpla not appeared yet.

I almost cried with joy when I saw Mao inside that X gundam with Garrod Ran's attire... Perfect little details like that make the show.
Of course Iori in Kira's pilot suit wasn't bad either.

I wanted to see more of Sazaki's Gyan... One of my all time favorite UC MS, likely cause M'Quve.
Yuuki obviously dropped out cause having him lose to Iori before even the world finals would be shameful, I'm assuming his dropping out was directly related to that blondie appearing last episode.

Wanted to see more of the GPO2 this episode, it barely even moved.

LOL it's hilarious to see Ricardo created a Gunpla just for dating girls :P I'm loving the custom Gundam designs they are looking sweet!

Both Mao and Sei imagination battle was epic! And as expected Ral just loves to interrupt the battle :P
After encountering Mao, looks like Sei managed to build a badass beam cannon!

I knew that Yuuki has to drop participating the World Tournament, I can't wait what will Reiji and Sei response to it on the next episode of course :)

I want that Green Haro badge that Sei's mother is wearing it.

And did anyone notice the line from the preview sounds familiar? xD I can't believe it's Murrue Ramius VA Mitsuishi Kotono is in the anime voicing as Sei's Mother lol. Yeah i just found it out. I swore i heard her voice before.

Gundam Build Fighters had a pretty strong start, but the last two episodes have been sort of lackluster. It would be awful if the potential that this show has is wasted, so I'm hoping for some better episodes in the future. Even if the show is ultimately disappointing, at least some awesome battles between the Gundams and a decent ED (Imagination > Reality) came out of it.

They're really being self-concious about this, though it might not be a bad thing. They could put more focus on a classic tournament format, I believe. It is one of the best ways to realize the balance of effort, tactics and competion elements. Yet when I watch this, I don't even remember there is something like that going on. I don't know if Sunrise is in a hurry or not, but many characters here don't seem to carry much weight and could use some more eps for them.

Tobia? Surely you jest. What matters are the mechs and Crossbone has too weird mobile suits for it to sell. But we can always hope it's the next OVA project after Unicorn.

It's obvious that they're going to focus about that issue in the World Championship, since this is only a 12 episode anime, not the usual 100+ episode toy anime.

Not really, we could see that something is going to happen from the scene after the ED in the previous episode. Or do you skip credits and didn't see that scene?

I don't like the very idea of this show. The only reason I'm watching this is because I miss gundams and there're only compilation movies left for me to watch. And after this episode I have a strong urge to watch one of those movies

This episode was absurd in a few ways, and the creators know it. There were some really funny scenes. It's confirmed at this point that some of the Gunpla are heavily customized with parts built from scratch (or something similar). I wonder why Yuuki dipped out of the tournament.

Reiji: "You mean it's fun to build and just look at it?"

Rei: "Of course! Working with gunpla, allows us to expand our imagination of the Gundam world exponentially!"

Very subtle marketing there, Bandai xD

Then again, I do agree, with Gundam multiverses and connecting peple who either like to build, to play with them, make stop motion animation, watch anime about them or just look at them on display. Gundam/Gunpla really is the "LEGO of Japan".
