Where does the time go?
>>14089420
Has there been any updates on the OVA?
>>14089517
This, I want more Sei.
>>14089420
Quickly like plotlines in samflam.

BF Try killed any momentum GBF had Sorry no more sequels
>>14089420
Time is so rock solid in the minds of the hordes but they can't
explain why it should slip away
explain why it should slip away.
History and future are the comforts of our curiosity
but here we are
rooted in the present day
rooted in the present day.
The questions that beseech us in life are testament
of our helplessness.
There's no vestige of beginning, no prospect of an end.
When we all disintegrate we'll all happen again, yeah.
If you came to conquer, you'll be king for a day.
But you, too, will deteriorate and quickly fade away.

Didn´t the kits sell well?
Isn´t that all that matters
>rewatch GBF
>that bittersweet ending
>Reiji knows that he's about to leave
>Reiji and Sei's high five isn't completed
>gunpla battle is over for an unknown amount of time
I haven't felt at a Chinese cartoon like this in a long ass time. Why the fuck was a generic shonen tournament anime allowed to be so good?
>3 years since meatbun shenanigans
I want to see them again. ;_;
>>14092943
Aila was bestest girl and she left. I miss her.
>>14093018
Rinko is best girl.
Anyway, just watched through both series, enjoyed the hell out of the first one, Try was a failure. All the main characters were retarded.
>>14092934
yep. that scene hit me right in the feels. really good, fun series, and very rewatchable.
>>14089420
remember how fun it was?
how GOOD it was?
how ENJOYABLE it was?
thank you bandai for killing it
>>14093076
I wonder if bandai knew why Try failed, I mean we know why but execs can be pretty blind to the most obvious things sometimes and come to the wrong conclusions
>>14093124
But why did it fail?
>>14093076
NEVER ENDING HALF-PANTS SPIRIT
>>14093124
>>14093126
it didn't, technically. They said it was successful at the IBO reveal event. Though it's not like we know what determines a success for Banrise or not.
It was still a major step down from GBF
>>14093126
The only thing we find bad about GBF is the over reliance on the "Build Knuckles". It's a climax duller.
And then Try amplify that to the extreme by having Build Burning.
Only the last episode has that feel of GBF.
>>14093151
>>14093151
>Though it's not like we know what determines a success for Banrise or not.
"It made money".
A lot of people around here seem to think that if something isn't an explosive success then it is a failure. Try most likely met its sales goals and possibly more. It just didn't sell so well it sold out on various designs like the original did. People forget that selling that well isn't typical for a gunpla release.
So, what's your dream Build Fighters episode? Here's mine:
Ral gets a booty call from Sei's mom to meet her at the World Tournament Arena. He gets there, turns out it was the PPSE Chairman and Codename C using a voice modifier. All of the Gunpla Mafia is there too. They've stolen all of his Gouf models and they tell him he has to follow all their instructions and whatever happens to him he has to act like he enjoys it. If he doesn't, they will break all of his Goufs and boot Sei and Reiji from the Tournament.
So the next day, Ral walks into a room wearing diapers and a pacifier, acting like a retarded baby. All of the Gunpla mafia is there and they give him the hardest, most brutal gangrape in history. As instructed, Ral acts like he completely enjoys it and asks for more.
Then in walks that guy Tatsuzo from episode 7. Turns out he joined the Gunpla Mafia for revenge. He's been eating a special protein-only diet for weeks just for this. He pulls down his pants and partially defecates the longest, thickest, hardest log ever, and proceeds to use it to give Ral the most furious ass-to-ass action ever recorded. Ral can't hold his tears anymore, but pretends they're from pleasure. It's finally over.
Then the Chairman reveals the room they're in is actually see through from the outside, and they're in the tournament arena. All of the audience has been watching Ral get gangbanged and enjoy it, and it's been broadcasted worldwide. They finally kick him out of the premises, and break all of his models anyway.
Later, Ral runs into Sei's mom, who tells him she didn't know he was such a fag. Her husband walks in and proceeds to have passionate sex with her in front of Ral, and after he finishes, pees all over him, much to her delight.
After the ending credits, Ral is wandering off on a road in the middle of nowhere. A speeding car runs him over and breaks his spine, but it's non lethal. He is left laying there in extreme pain for days, and finally dies of hunger.
WHERE IS THE OVA?
>>14089420
This show was garbage, fuck off.
I really hope that the OVA is more GBF than Try.
>>14093262
Wow great argument faglord you really convinced me with those hot opinions.
>>14089420
Well the first season of GBF has been reairing on Japanese TV quite often recently.
It just ended a rerun a few weeks ago, and another one has started again.
Let me put that into perspectives, modern original anime very veyr VERY rarely get reruns on Japanese TV. Once it airs, the only time it will be rerun is on specialist cable channels.
The fact it has had 3(more?) runs on TV means it's still bringing in new fans 3 years on.
>>14094153
Fuck off, apologetic sub-human.
>>14093262
>>14094184
>not even "not /m/" but "stop talking about it because I dun like it"
Wew, lad. Perhaps you'd be more at home at reddit where you can downvote the posts you want to disappear?
>>14094278
>muh reddit boogeyman
>>14094418
"Boogeyman" implies I'm accusing you of being from there, which I'm not. I'm just suggesting it as a site you'd probably enjoy more.
>>14093262
typical g rekt tard
>>14092943
>>14093018
At least she got her happy ending and became a space princess. that was nice.
>>14093062
Rinko is LADY.
>>14094546
I really want to see the couples from GBF in the timeskip.
Man did we have a good time when this show was airing or what?
>>14094653
this is proof GBF was truly enjoyable
try do anything like this with any other show here in /m/ and it will be impossible
>>14094591
Me too. But mostly since I'd like to see how curvy Caroline got.
>>14094591
>>14094653
Does anybody have this image with higher resolution?
>>14094737
Oh yeah, I forgot I had this too
>>14094653
>>14094762
>try to do these after watching GBF and getting into gunpla
>realize I'm shit with poses and can't even do that
How do I improve?
>>14094762
>seeing your old image
>seeing how your gunpla has since expanded
God, we're getting old /m/.

>all that love in one image
Will we ever get a Gundam show like this?
>>14094949
Have you seen the victory thread up.
>>14094980
I know, but I mean a NEW Gundam that achieve this.
Fun times. Really fun times.
>>14093168
>"It made money"
Unfortunately, some nice kits came out of that awfully paced show, so yes. GBFT made money and the execs would consider it a success.
>>14094949
GBF was a special case because it made the socially awkward Gundam obsessed toy collector the hero in a story where Gunpla are the most popular and important thing in the world, and then it crammed a metric fuckton of obscure msv's that only the aforementioned obsessed fan would recognize. On top of that, they had the love interest react with humility and awe at Ramba Fucking Ral knowing absolutely everything about everything related to Gundam AND Ral speaking highly of Sei's encyclopedic knowledge of Gundam as a valuable asset. It pretty much shamelessly glorified autistic Gunota (which I will henceforth refer to as "Gunautism"). Not only that, but the shitload of cameo appearances by both MSV's and characters led to newb viewers asking "who's who and what's that?" so the aforementioned Encyclopedia Gunota got to show off their excessive knowledge of the franchise.
Honestly I can't imagine how they could have more thoroughly stroked the audience's ego short of having Rinko reach out of the tv and give you a handjob.
And yes, I fucking LOVED it. My pic in the thank-you is the Zaku II standing over a G1 Soundwave (sideways pic just to the right of Build Strike's waist) and I was one of the people who tweeted the image to the GBF staff.
>>14089517
Soon.
>>14093062
I was going to tell you to kill yourself, but then I watched GBF again and Rinko really is a nice lady.
Sei and his dad are lucky people.
I remember what it was like on here when Star Build Strike debuted.
It was ... fun.
Good times, /m/en, good times
>>14095098
Yeah that was one of the more HOLY SHIT moments in the threads
>>14095020
it also really expanded those builder kits, which I think was pretty neat, perhaps one of their smarter move in trying to expand kit sales
>>14089517
It's in planning/production phase right now, but no release date set yet.
What a fun show.
>>14095242
>>14094949
i feel like i missed some good times, only if i knew about this board when the show was airing
>>14095086
More or less than six months? Just of any info from Bandai/Sunrise, no specifics or release dates for kits/OVAs. Please?
>>14089517
Not since Fall when it was confirmed to be in active production. Will probably not release until Thunderbolt is completed.
>>14095086
So if you know, then that means we're getting new kits out of it.
>>14094653
I'm still upset I was too lazy to take a pic.
God I hate myself sometimes. Great threads, though. Some of the best that's been here in a long time.
>going from GBF to Try
What the fuck did they do? The only part that was even remotely charming at all was the last episode where the Super Fumina is revealed.
>>14094591
Id like to see anything BF set up after the time skip. Honestly what puzzles me more than anything about Try was it would have been far less work to follow up on all the BF plot threads and throw a cameo every 5 episodes
>>14095768
Rushed it out with six months worth of planning
They intended on riding the GBF wave and pushing it hard, but instead they crashed out.
>>14095768
>>14095773
It was a different director/team too wasn't it?
Remember hearing it had the same director as 00S2
And how there were plenty of /m/en fell in love with this beautiful person whose soul burns with gunpla. MOEAGARE!!!!
Dammit, we nostalgia thread now
>>14095781
>>14095768
>>14095781
I feel what tanked Try the most was having to split screen-time and development between 3 characters. In the original Sei was the clear protagonist - Reiji got some development here and there but the series was stronger because it was mostly about Sei and how he interacted with others. Since Try introduced the 3v3 format it had too many characters to juggle.
Makes me so happy to know Katz wasn't in Build Fighters.
Little fuckface didn't deserve it.
>>14095876
>Katz gets into S3
>dies off screen in a crash after hijacking Brights ferrari
Here's Back-On's portion of Animelo 2015.

NINE TIMES THE PASSION when?
Try killed the BF franchise.
>>14095816
Maybe if any of the main characters actually got any development beyond the HEY YOU GUYS ALL SUCK episode.
There was no "one fatal flaw" with Try, it was just an altogether poor product.
>>14094762
>>14094949
>>14095015
Man, BF was too great. I miss 3 years ago us.
>>14094762
And then there was the idea of sending the studio a collage of pictures saying fuck you or with poorly built gunpla after the TRY finale.
My god did things went south, it's almost unbelievable how much they fucked up,
>>14095816
When GBF had finished, the writers mentioned that the episodes where multiple people fought were the hardest to put together. With more characters, it became harder to challenge them as a group and have the audience remain aware of what they were doing. Despite this understanding, they went ahead with the 3v3 setup. The team idea wasn't bad in-and-of itself, but having all fights be 3v3 made the planning absurd. Far too many characters to introduce and then throw away.
Shame they didn't go with 3x1v1 or some other arrangement. Also, I felt like the world championship was still a singles arrangement, so why are these regional and national tournaments on a team basis? Although, Sei/Fellini/Mao would be a pretty awesome team.
>>14096802
I feel like they skipped a season or something.
After BF one would think the logical progressin would be double battles. It migjtbe a bit difficult but I think it's doable and they already proved the team dynamic works with Sei and Reiji.
Who the fuck thought they needed to jump straight into 3v3 battles?
>>14096827
>you will never see Sei and Mao battle Fellini and that American Tallgeese player in a doubles match
>>14096930
Fucking hell, Try robbed us of so many possible cool moments.
>>14089420
>
The good old days :')
Now I have to get off my ass and build my HG-SBS. Minus the Bulk Knuckle rage, we all got along pretty well during that phase.
>All that fun in the /gbf/ general
>TRY kind of kills the enthusiasm but people still stick around (mostly for gyanko posts)
>/Greco/ stays for a bit but looses a lot of people who either couldn't follow it or just didn't like it
>IBO doesn't even bother to get keep it's general and looses a bunch of momentum after the first 5 episodes
Will we ever get the old times back? Will 2017 provide /m/ with a quality show for anons to latch onto and make tons of OC for?
>>14098946
GBF was actually fun and basically sucked all of our cocks with a smile so everybody had fun. It was exactly what everyone wanted from a Gunpla-based series.
Try killed the hype for obvious reasons. Jegan how're you doesn't make for great discussion and threads became waifuposting or constant rage and "how can we fix this show".
Greco was shitposting central for half the airing, and hardly due to its quality. The people who had criticism were met with some pro-Greco memeing/false flagging and then responded by killing any real discussion that could be had so it became hard to stay excited in threads. Honestly Genki Gundam isn't the best to get hype generals for. Stick to A/Z
IBO is genuinely shit and nobody really cares enough. It was trashed weekly with only a few (usually) threads up at once until IBOIDF arrived at around the re-entry and it became shitposting again.
We need something back to get us HYPED. GRAZE YOUR FLAG and #noshirtsnojewsnohomo was fun and we could have kept generals if the show maintained that feeling.
>>14099084
>the show designed around fanservice is the one that gets the fanbased most excited
Surprised mothafucka?
>>14096930
His name is THE RAGING BULL,
GRECO
LOOOOOOOOOOGAAAN
>>14099481
Considering I said it outright in my post, no.
>>14099507
Side-by-side with a fan favorite, it's Ricardo Fellini, or as you know and love him: THE ITALIAAAAN DANDYYYYYYYYY!!
>>14094949
>>14094762
I'm so glad that my Stark Jegan got in.
I remember sitting in my car right after classes finished, ready to watch the new episode on my phone. Shit made my day and kept me motivated.
