areaseven Posted March 17, 2014 Posted March 17, 2014 (edited) New Gunpla for this week: Gundam Fenice Rinascita - The rebirth of the Italian Dandy. Crossbone Gundam Maoh - The successor to Mao's Gundam X Maoh. Gyan Vulcan - The return of Sazaki. Edited October 13, 2014 by areaseven
antibiotictab Posted March 17, 2014 Posted March 17, 2014 Gotta love the cameos from this week's episode. Minami Fujii, the VA of Mao Yasaka posted this Tweet yesterday. According to this, the director, Nagasaki-san said "all of the Gundam characters live in peace in the Build Fighters world."
bob joe mac Posted March 17, 2014 Posted March 17, 2014 (edited) Honestly seeing so many characters alive and not suffering is what made this episode. Had to pause it every 5 seconds for another epic cameo.Favorites for me 0080, Domon and family and Char and lalah .Also finale has to be Full scale Gundam vs Full scale zaku! And any word on a season 2 yet? It has to be coming with Reiji's world still being given zero explanation. Edited March 17, 2014 by bob joe mac
Dangard Ace Posted March 17, 2014 Posted March 17, 2014 Best cameo had to be Usso and his parents . And the Gundam he was building.
renegadeleader1 Posted March 17, 2014 Posted March 17, 2014 (edited) So many cameos in that episode! EDIT: I totally agree with the sentiment that seeing so many characters alive, happy, and with the ones they love is heartwarming given what we know happens to a lot of them. Its good to know somewhere, and someplace their souls finally found peace and happiness. Edited March 17, 2014 by renegadeleader1
DuelGundam2099 Posted March 17, 2014 Posted March 17, 2014 Heavy fire power > A Turn I so wanna collect bets I just won.
dizman Posted March 17, 2014 Posted March 17, 2014 Yeah poor Turn X. I seem to recall early on a beam spam SEED suit was defeated by close range attacks (from a dijeh I think). Build fighters has shown that anything can defeat anything, it all depends on the pilot. I kinda like that idea. Best cameos for me were 0080 and Haman, they were just too perfect.
anime52k8 Posted March 17, 2014 Posted March 17, 2014 Build fighters has shown that anything can defeat anything, it all depends on the pilot. Plot armor. fixed that for you.
anime52k8 Posted March 17, 2014 Posted March 17, 2014 Anyways, I don't know what's weirder to look at, Crossbone gundam with Gundam X stickers all over it, or seeing the Kanetake Ebikawa aesthetic bleeding into an Okawara design on that Wing gundam.
David Hingtgen Posted March 18, 2014 Posted March 18, 2014 I know I probably missed half the cameos, but I'll vote for Rain being my fave. Best though has gotta be Char and Lalah.
Hikuro Posted March 18, 2014 Posted March 18, 2014 Yeah wow so many characters showed up, anywhere from 1-3 characters per series....I wouldn't be surprised if in some way we saw character from every gundam anime we've been given. But it was a fairly fun episode.
areaseven Posted March 18, 2014 Posted March 18, 2014 Someone spent a lot of time using a magnifying glass on this scene.
David Hingtgen Posted March 19, 2014 Posted March 19, 2014 Can't read the names, but just the posing from the iconic final scene----right between the RX-78's feet---Shiro and Aina? :edit: Gotta be---she's got the right color hair, from a better pic I found. PS---I cannot take any credit for the caption, but it needs to be re-posted for all fans of G-Gundam: Domon is building Gunpla WITH THE HELP OF KYOJI!
VF-15 Banshee Posted March 20, 2014 Author Posted March 20, 2014 I love how they even included the three kids from the Gunpla Builders OVAs.
Hikuro Posted March 21, 2014 Posted March 21, 2014 They did? I didn't even notice them, probably cause they weren't so well known to me exactly. BUT I was at least right on my guess of CCA Amuro and Chan near near the fence on the Gundam's left leg. Score 1 for me.
renegadeleader1 Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 So thanks to this show I have a new nickname at AnimeBoston... "Sei's dad" You see the last four years there's been a panel workshop called building gundams with overnight security that's early in the morning on sunday the last day of the con. It had originally meant to be a joke by the hosts, they never expected people to show. When people showed up expecting to buy kits to build they had none, so I gave away some extra ones I had won. Ever since I've always resigned myself to bring extra kits for new people to build every year. I always got a kick out of watching the joy on people's faces as they start their first kit. I remember two years ago I got a grandmother to build a Char's Counterattack Jeagan. Lol. This year I had my tool kit with me that I let people borrow which yes had a pair of green handled clippers. I never even thought twice about it untill people were "saying thanks Sei's dad!" If your wondering no I don't get compensated for it, untill this year when one guy practically forced me to take $20 for an HGUC Hi-Zack. I just like gundam kits, and want others to share my love.
areaseven Posted March 25, 2014 Posted March 25, 2014 The latest issue of Hobby Japan has a gallery of the Zeta Gundam Honoo's upgrades. Hobby Japan (May Issue 2014)
David Hingtgen Posted March 25, 2014 Posted March 25, 2014 NO commentary on the latest ep? Not as good as when they fought Fenice. But I totally called the final move a few mins before it happened. (Well, I mean, of course we all knew it was going to be a build knuckle-----but the specific variation used-----that was new, and a great homage to G-Gundam). I figured it'd be that, or sekiha ten kyoken.
DuelGundam2099 Posted March 25, 2014 Posted March 25, 2014 Dark Matter Exia might be the best Gundam ever. Might, not sure.
azrael Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 Thought it was an average finale fight episode, which is why I didn't comment.
areaseven Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 Thought it was an average finale fight episode, which is why I didn't comment. I know. It would've been better if Mashita hadn't interfered with the match. Yuuki, by himself, has already defeated Sei & Reiji once. But they had to emphasize the subplot of the capabilities of Plavsky particles beyond animating Gunpla.
Dangard Ace Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 Did they ever show Discharge Aqua Mode they revealed back in eps 10?
areaseven Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 Did they ever show Discharge Aqua Mode they revealed back in eps 10? Nope.
dizman Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 Actually I think they did use it the plavsky funnels that did nothing except look cool and throw a sword at the exia? The big showdown was ok, not the best of the series but maybe we will get that in the final ep.
Dangard Ace Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 That was definitely a discharge but it wasn't named and would they really introduce the 3rd Discharge with only 10% power? Dunno.
Archer Posted March 29, 2014 Posted March 29, 2014 I still think Episode 15 (vs. Fenice) was the peak of this series (which was a great series overall, don't get me wrong). I too sort of wish we saw a legitimate Normal Yuuki Exia vs. Strike battle, but I can get behind why they had to do this
