Gundam Build Fighters is hands down one of the funnest and entertaining series I have seen.
Gundam Build Fighters was obviously made to sell toys. But, it has fantastic characters, a well thought out story, beautifully animated fights and wonderful catchy music that overshadow the toy angle of the show.
Story (8):
The main plot is an excellent example of how to do a tournament series right and the general mystery behind one of the main character, Reiji is well done.
The tournament plot is handle in a way where during the preliminaries we focus on future opponents instead of focusing on opponents that won't matter in the
...
long run which is something a lot of tournament stories forget about.
Art (8):
The animation is like most Gundam series where you can tell Sunrise put all their money into making it look good and eye catching. Though what elevates it is the storyboarding and direction during the fight scenes are great and capture great moments.
The character designs are simple but memorable. Each character has a distinct design and stand out from one another.
Sound (9):
The soundtrack of Build Fighters is incredible and has a wide variety of music. The individual character themes and background melodies make several scenes better just by being there like a great soundtrack should. The openings are fantastic and tells the viewer what the themes of the show are which is what all great openings should do.
Character (9):
The characters are great and very well developed. The main duo Sei and Reiji compliment each other greatly making them perfect team. Other main characters such as Aila and Rinko are fantastic characters who make every scene their in great. Even side characters have a bunch of personality and leave an impact even if they only have a few scenes.
Though the main rival, Yuuki sadly doesn't get enough focus until final few episodes. Though he does have a history and personality. But, it came a little too late for me.
Enjoyment (10):
I had a smile every episode weather it was character interaction, incredible mech fights or even references to other Gundam series such as how every single episode preview they say the next episode phrase like the original Gundam's, "Who will survive?".
Overall (9):
This is a fantastic show and I highly recommend anyone even if your not interested in Gundam or mecha.
