Hmm, interesting stuff.

I'm liking the various models of the other gundams in the combat arenas. Yuuki was pretty OP again which I wasn't entirely surprised at. The fights were epic. Oo, a head flew off. I also admire Reiji's skills as usual in this series.

More battles next time too, I'll look forward to it!

Like he said in the 1st episode, Reiji came from Arian. Just wonder what kind of world Arian is. Another universe? Or future world? What Sei's mom said seemed insightful and intriguing.

It was nice to see Ral-san's match, but he was unexpectedly weak. lol That basement bar was nice. Didn't imagine so many adult players would show up. And they were all wearing uniforms. I liked it.

Battle scenes were impressive as always. Even battles of side characters were depicted carefully.

Kosaka looked nice in the pink dress. Surprised to see her purchasing a GunPla. Wonder what she bought. Beargguy? PV said Kilala. Is it a nickname of Kosaka? Curious to see a female fighter in next episode.

I was impressed at the visual again. For instance, a classroom scene where Kosaka was drawing a picture of flowers. There was a slight yet noticeable difference between the original flowers and the painting. I was surprised the creator paid attention to the details and depicted even such a difference. Considering it's a mecha anime, I think it's surprising. Indeed God is in the details.

Somehow the OP song keeps running through my head. Perhaps it means it's a good song.

I like how they pronounce Fellini. And fuck yeah, Sieg Zeon! Ramba Ral was, after all, a high ranking member of the Zeon club. It was fun. And good seeing Hambrabi. Sad it got trashed by Build Strike Full Package.

Next episode...KIRARA!

It's more like Reiji being too strong for him, because I don't see the reason why the "Zeons" in the bar having high respect for him if he was "weak".

I don't know why, but this series does have some 0080 feel to it. I'm thinking some pretty heavy stuff (i.e actual battles/war and not Gunpla ones) will happen in the second part of the series, once all the world championship episodes come to an end. Plus there are obviously a lot of references for fans of the previous series and a cool direction and art. A good, albeit peculiar Gundam in the making it seems.

In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same.

- And on top of that, a prince... that was a funny telling... :D

- Officially, Sei's father (a Gunpla fighter) is not dead - so far, he's only absent (well, he travels around the world to learn more about Gunpla) and does only appear in flashbacks (there's such a case in Pokémon, although a bit different: Like Satoshi (Ash) himself, it's known that his father (still unknown as of yet) is a trainer who has his own journey as such) ;)

Nooo.... poor Blue Destiny. They should EXAM these lesser known suits more. Really good references though, like how Susumu is able "to fight for 10 more years" with the Gyan.

Great episode, the light hearted plot just keeps reminding me of Medabots for some reason... Also with the all the cameos from all the gundam series which makes it even more appealing to watch. I'll keep on watching this series just to see how it'll end.

Oh, will there also be a mid-season break for this show? I haven't checked yet.

That scene in that bar with the men dressed in Zeon clothing shouting "Sieg Zeon" with Ral there reminded me of 0079 when Amuro met Ramba Ral at the bar, obviously it was intentional, but it was awesome.

You know I am kind of disappointed that Iori isn't doing any of the battles.

I do think that in the future they will do their own battles with Reiji using the Build Gundam Mk2, and Sei with Build Strike, as shown in the opening/ending.

Reiji's from another world and he's a prince.
The Milf and her oppai.
LMAO at them saying Sieg Zeon!
He beat them with a ball.
Wing?
Tobe, Gundam. lol
Reiji showed up.
You can see the BSFP from that high up?
They won.
China wants a Gunpla?

Kind of silly but well done - I enjoyed this episode. Reiji training was cool, and the battles were great. The Gunpla are a bit odd to me though; like are they just the standard models you can buy or can the creators make their own from multiple kits/other objects? Or the stats are just really picky on how the models are sanded and stuff.
