Didn't see this, so just delete if I'm blind.

Anyway, this episode had my favourite battle in the whole series so far. The tactics employed by those brothers were really good and I was a bit bummed they lost in the end. So far they were the only people to try to win with tactics rather than raw brute force, so I really wish they didn't crash out, or at least, were saved for a later fight.

Other than that, Mao getting slapped was hilarious and Aila using the name Aina made me smile a bit.

IS THE KAMPFER AMAZING BECAUSE HE'S "A MEIJIN"?
These bastards are glorious.

That bonding time with Aila, err.. I mean Aina. That special soundtrack for Mao's date. That Brother's War. Those ameijin tacticool containers. Those Renato footmen. That EXAM. This is no war boys, no war!

I have never been so glad to set my GP base.

Another Great ep. This series is every Gundam fans dream :D

Glad Luang's fight was shown and he wasn't just off-screened like I feared last time.

Mao getting slapped like that was lol. He deserved it hahaha XD Well she said it's still too early for that so at least she didn't dump him for good lol :P XD

Bonding time with Aila was fun as usual. Man she's cute. Every ep she shows more and more cuteness <3...And how much in sync with Reiji she is, is always fun to watch. Loved her sad smile ^^ Really can't wait til they know her identity.

The battle was amazing. Nice use of tactics. Didn't expect u can use soldiers as well XD But really intense and KAMPFER AMAZING got quite destroyed there. Can't wait for the battle against Nils nxt ep. Gonna be FRIGGIN EPIC!!! >.<

Lol poor Mao getting slapped. Anyways, that was a nice battle. There was no way Yuki was going to lose that battle. Looks like they guys are going to face Nils next. Can't wait.

That was some crazy tactics from the Renato Bros.

Sei X China and Reiji X Aila double date.

This show is getting better than ever and I'm kinda pissed off that people gave it low scores. I mean c'mon this deserves at least an 8/10 from MAL!!!

A date with Misaki?! But seriously, what was that lmao. I blinked and the date was over. LOL.

Aila introduces herself as Aina...but I think they will find out their identity soon enough. I thought the battle this episode was awesome. Never ever underestimate Yuuki Mejin yo. I think those two bros did and paid the price for it.

I call ass pull on Tatsuya's part. That minigun and rocket launcher were bigger than the binders....

It was a good battle, but I'm sick of "MEIJIN KAWAGUCHI" going on and on about being a "MEIJIN KAWAGUCHI".

Everything in GBF is an asspull if you want to nitpick the "nerdy" and techy stuff of the series.
Heck, how does Sei program the Discharge and RG system from just "plastic" into the battle system. Does he register it manually through his GP base? who knows...but with awesome fights like this the question is "who cares?" :D

As long it's not an obvious plot hole.
As Mao and Sei said in their first meeting, Imagination is key in Gunpla buildings.

With the whole "our war" thing I think the Rentaro Brothers are a nod to the Frost Brothers from Gundam X.

The battle was pretty cool nice use of tatics and tricks to give Meijin a run for his money. xD

I really liked the ReiAi date they are so cute together I hope he makes her his queen. I know that will never happen, but that would be sweet.

Nils Vs Reiji this should be a fun match!

That was a intense fight. The brothers are fierce and daaaang their GM has the EXAM system! I kinda face palmed when Sei thought it was Trans-Am.

The shipping is still strong.

Best episode so far.
It's ironic that gunpla anime was more fun than real gundam anime.

Mao got slap, he deserve it. ^ ^
Aila cuter every episode. She and Reiji in sync if it's about food.
That Renato brothers use Zeon figures !! this exceed my imagination.
Laung and Renato brothers lose because of careless.

Waiting for the next episode.

That A MEIJIN pun cracked me up.

Exactly what war do the Renato brothers think they're fighting, I don't think we could possibly leave this Anime at 26 episodes before introducing the first and second Mejin'.

MAO GOT A DATE.
Well, atleast he came back to his bro Iori, better luck next time Mao.

I think Meijin just overwrote the Kampfer's history there, nice going Sunrise.

Still not sure how to feel about the Renato's, If we get a legitimate motive for their attitude I'd love em just out of their witty tactics.

So Nils is up next! Hopefully he doesn't pull the "I'll let you win so I can learn more about Minovsky particles by pissing off the chairman" card.

And we can't even reward his heroism with a simple reward of sitting next to Rinko during the match. Poor, poor Ral-san.

You can't really blame Sei for not recognizing it instantly as the EXAM System. Blue Destiny never had any major media appearances and it's only limited to the :
-Sega Saturn game which is not localized.
-1 manga volume, that only covers 2 earlier parts of the game
-novel
-Being a playable character in many other games. Like The GGeneration TRPG and Versus Series

Haha same here XD i am not sure why they figure it's fine for Sei to thought it's Trans-Am system. This episode is epic! but i am not really liking the music plays during the fight though lol. Anyway, it looks like in the next episode we will get to see Astray vs Star Build Strike it's gonna be awesome :)

The Renato brothers were robbed, they had that fight in the bag. Of course Mr.Bushido/Char was going to win, because plot shield. Either way the fight was the best so far, the Renato brothers reminded me a bit of Lelouch and how he fought.
