THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Second episode is also out today. Another mission. Kazami (the Justice guy) seems pretty excited about it.

I do find it interesting we got to see a village of animal characters. There's also enemies known as the "One Eyes". Seems this anime has potential for a lot of world building. I'm curious how they'll plan to develop the main cast though. Personally, I see a lot of potential for this anime.

Once again, the immortal Patrick Colasour lives up to his name.

I really liked these two episodes. The cast is a bunch of lovable odd balls, each using a rather obscure Gunpla. Mia obviously confirmed for best girl for using a WaDom. Decent animation and good detail on the robots too. Magee returning is a bonus too. Although I hope that she is not the only character from GBD returning.

That ED is the most precious thing ever.

This episode suggests that the first story arc will be about a PUG (pick up group) who attempt to be the first to complete a story mission on their server. Replace "story mission" with "raid" and it's very much what you would expect to happen in an actual MMO after a major update.

I just wanted to point this out. I appreciate that they acknowledge how MMOs actually work, because some shows just don't seem to know at all.

Love Build series but it seems like I'll need a few more episodes to warm me up mentally.
Also doesn't the whole Build Divers thing quite similar to Danball Senki Wars?
Also, need more muscular furry characters.

I like that they take this way better than the previous season. They have taken on the approach of a seasoned player with a backstory of his more newbie-like days, instead of a Force of players with 3 new players where one of which has a spurt of skill growth. Even if this takes another feature of MMORPGs for plot progression, the music, the battles and the characters already got me intrigued enough to watch it.

Really hope Hiroto and May will become couple. They look good together.

So they got involved in a Story mission, which shouldn't be available yet, and that first battle was only the start, huh. So... our main team is formed by Hiroto, Kazami, May, and Parviz. Hinata got the job at the café, and Magee appeared talking to May. It was another nice episode. I hope they can protect that place even if those people are only NPCs, or NPDs or whatever. Oh, and the OP and ED are nice.

So another " real world " in digital world.

Remind me Digimon a lot.

Jeez, this might not be bad in the same ways as Divers s1, but these first two episodes are pointing towards it being bad in its own unique way. I'm here for Gundams, not villages of NPC characters who exclaim "It's Gunpla!" I know they can't fill up the entire episode with just the robot battles, but I wish they would at least keep a majority of what I'm looking at on screen relevant to Gundam.

The animal people remind me of the characters from Solatorobo of the Little Tail series.

This is rapidly moving further from the rest of the Build series. Not entirely sure I like the new direction yet or not.

Need more salt. Hiroto is fine, and I do like the Core Gundam's gimmick. I like May too but so far she overlaps with the MC. Parviz can get annoying fast if he doesn't get some development quick. I don't know why Kazami exists. Still don't like the Divers setting, hope we get more offline scenes. It's gunpla but feels less like gunpla every season.
Sieg Zeon!

So this is really suiting up to be a RPG isekai VR anime. This is what separates divers from fighters which was more tournament/sport rather than having to complete stories.

6:43 lol the SALT. What a reference


omg the RX-78-2 colour sundae

16:55 Obligatory Patrick cameo

20:58 This reminds me of the Heero with the girl and her dog scene from Endless Waltz.

22:46 Project V logo is on the dad's bottle

I keep thinking freakin you by jodeci is gonna play whe the ending song begins lol. Not only might "Magic Time" be my favourite ending this season but song, over any op an d insert.

Novels I have read/am reading pending approval: since November 10 2022

Well there's Magee I wasn't expecting to see an old character this quickly.
So both Kazami and Parviz are dead weight.

Parviz is annoying and Kazami is incompetent. May is okay but I can see her being a copy paste Ayame.

From the preview it looks like the core gundam is going to use that red mars attachment the MC was looking at. I'm definitely a fan of something like this it reminds me of Liger zero from zoids swapping out parts to jager, schneider, panzer etc.

My guess is that the NPC Maiya either becomes an EL-Diver and works with the BUILD DiVERS/Re:RISE team after the main story, or becomes recruitable in the main character's future Force formation. She has way too much personality to be a one-off for this arc.

Hell yeah, im going full dive right now. Nuking everything just to pass a mission. I doubt MC going to go there. Gunpla world is more than just a game!

I liked the reference to Sayla Sorties and the dietary importance of salt.

People talk about it and the idea of ​​a very good sense but contain words that are generally considered good. Of course, we will never know Konatsu's lips - why Yakumo rejects Sukeroku's secret and Miyo dies in his mouth - and Shin-chan's conclusion is crucial to life. Utal Yakumo bu / ike /. But you can see the same thing (happily moving, face) and understandable.

MAGEE!!!! I'm so happy to see a familiar face from the previous season! LoL
But that said, Kazami's starting to get on my nerves. He's the typical boastful character who really only wants fame; he is more suited as a side character, not one of the main ones, sheesh!
