It really wasn't that bad.
the porn was preddy gud
it felt soulless compared to the original and ended up dropping it after everyone got wrecked by that demonic looking Gunpla
Nah it was pretty damn bad
It just didn't have that spark compared to the original.
>>23502115I hate hexagons.
>>23502115It's better than the two that followed.
>>23502115It was rushed to all hell and the new director didn't know how to keep a tight leash on Kuroda who fell into his bad habit of inserting a bunch of harem romcom elements into his writing. The main problem with the show itself was it was a rushed out blatant cash grab. the Execs wanted to capitalize on Build Fighters unexpected success and pushed it out within like 1/3 the time shows are normally in production resulting in a bunch of really sloppy animation (Especially in the first half) and writing that was kind of all over the place. They also mandated the terrible tri-battle thing because they wanted more gunpla to sell. Basically, Tri's main issue was that it needed another full year to bake in the oven instead of Execs rushing it out in like 8 months.
the only good GBF is the original one.the only good thing about Try is Transient Gundam
NTRing Sekai! Abortion sex with Fumina!
>>23502379I liked the Dunbine Victory thing and Tryon 3.
Nah, it was a huge step down from GBF, and the constant Jigen How Are You Spam was awful.The difference in hype between the /m/ threads spoke volumes.
It wasn’t but the problem is it’s nowhere near as good as Fighters
I never understood why people complained about ending every fight with Build Knuckle. Do people complain about Domon always winning with Shining Finger? Whatever the case, the production staff clearly learned the wrong lesson from the complaint because the finishers in Try felt so lame.
>>23502780It invalidates a lot of the teamwork angle. Why bother with 3v3 when 70% of the time its Sekai doing all the legwork?
>>23502115Certainly a dropoff from the first but still pretty good, and 2nd best of the 4 series (just barely over the 4th). 3rd sucked. And main chick's might be the only SD I've ever actually liked
>>23502115A major wasted opportunity was teaching Sekai Gundam beyond gunpla. Sei already knew and Reiji never learns beyond gunpla battling. Having a character in Reiji's shoes actually learning about Gundam would connect to Domon as his teacher and be an area they never did for Reiji.
>>23502554There was more esteem for the first half including saying the Destiny Gundam got a better showing here. The second half fell off. Similar to the original where people scoffed at how predictable the tournament bracket was maybe besides the Renaldo twins but some saw that coming too.
>>23502115Yeah, it wasn't bad per se. It was solidly mediocre. A step down from the series it followed.Better than what was to come but that's an egregiously low bar.I do think the glasses kid (whatever the fuck his name was) was a bit flat. Like yeah, he had that whole arc about not being scared and shit but I can't even remember his name, which is a shame since I did like his gunpla. The Domon connection was great but underexplored. Overall, the reliance on tropes just really dragged this series down. If I were to go back, I'd have prevented the initial bait-and-switch because I'm pretty sure we all expected fumina to be the protag at first.
Honestly, the thing that pisses me most about Try is that it has all these connections to the original Build Fighters but doesn't do a single thing with any one of them. Like why constantly tease about Sei if you're never actually going to see him show up. I genuinely think Try would be a better show if you jettison all the BF connections and make it completely standalone, cause as is, they serve as a constant reminder of a better show you could be watching. My opinion on this got further incense when Re:Rise came out and did pretty much all of this correctly.
Minato should have won
Its like the writers wanted to emulate G-Gundam, without watching G-Gundam at all with Sekai
>>23502115I liked Divers more.
>>23502115It was better than build fighters because it understood it was a tournment series and not a shallow excuse for the plot with the villain meddling in the competition and also the fucking retarded focus on particles
>>23502115I'd prefer if Fumina was the MC. She's the Sei of Try more than Yuuma.
Sex with Shia.
The moment that soured me on Try was the aquatic mobile suit team and how it was just a joke, despite them getting at least a little buildup.I feel like if that same idea were used in Build Fighters they would have given the aquatic suits a good showing, even if they were in a similar disadvantageous scenario. The whole idea of bringing in aquatic specialists to begin with is that it can make for an interesting combat scenario that goes into a non-traditional environment. The reason being that Build Fighters was made with reverence towards Gundam's history and wouldn't have an extended buildup to a joke about how "these parts of Gundam are dumb, these Mobile Suits suck."And it's not just the aquatic MS, it basically feels like Try is just shitting on everything except the characters and concepts it thinks are the best. "People think Minato is cool? Oh, better toss aside the parts that made people like him and make him a creep who hotglues MS girls, because we don't want people to like Minato."
I only remember that one guy bitchslapping his girlfriend for talking shit about the MC's team. Also had a pretty unique unit.
Despite all that I still hope the next Build series would be a continuation of the Fightersverse.And no, I don't consider Build Metaverse canon.
>>23502115It really kind of was.
>>23505344It was really inconsistent with how we were supposed to read shit.>One of the MC's is traumatized because his gunpa got savaged in a fight and this is supposed to be a big deal.>A handful of episodes late: HAHAHAH WE'RE SO COOL LOOK AT HOW WE SAVAGE THOSE OTHER GUNPLA
>>23502378>Tri's main issue was that it needed another full year to bake in the oven instead of Execs rushing it out in like 8 months.See I don't even really buy that as an explanation. Yeah it was slapdash but I feel like even on a fundamental outline level you should have been able to come up with something that wasn't insufferable even if it was just generic.
>>23505344The aquatic fighters were also set up as an obvious obstacle to force Sekai into adapting his fighting style into something that works on nonstandard terrain. It was a flaw that presented an actual chance to grow as a fighter and as a character, as well as an opportunity to make Sekai rely more on his teammates, who should be able to cover for his weak points. Instead, he trains for a bit to work on that problem, the aquatic fighters instantly give up and lose, and the issue is no longer addressed in every fight after that point. Even the part in Build Fighters where the Star Build Strike was dragged underwater during the race was a much more interesting struggle than what we got in Try.>>23505611This is what pains me the most. I would want to watch a show where Sekai kicks ass in a kung fu G Gundam based gunpla. I would watch a show centered around team battles where the main cast figures out how to cooperate and function as a team, compensating for each other's flaws and highlighting each other's strengths. I would watch the fuck out of a show where a tomboyish Fumina gushes enthusiastically about Gundam. They had a working template with the first Build and a solid setup for Try, and they STILL fucked everything up.
>>23502115it should have been a 2vs2 battle format instead of 3vs3Sekai is also a pretty lame protagonistalso not having a iconic milf like Rinko is the biggest sinthe fights were pretty cool though
>>23507035I think a 2v2 tag team format with a limited assist timer where both members of a team are allowed to come onto the field to perform combination team attacks for a short period of time would be better. They clearly want to do team battles, but don't want to fully commit to anything outside of a 1v1.
>>23507035>also not having a iconic milf like Rinko is the biggest sinFumina's mom needed more screentime.
>>23502115
>>23502115It's not nearly as bad as people make it out to be on /m/. The show has its fist share of problems it's more average then anything else. A portion of /m/ has a tendancy to make it sound like Try murdered their mother.The three man team just didn't work. China's little brother, whose name I can't remember, always felt like he would have been suited as rival to Sekai then a fellow protagonist. Stick up his ass gunota vs a martial arts idiot who is a neophyte to the Gundam franchise would have been a much better dynamic. Fumina's arc is also entirely lacking. The most annoying thing to me in the show was that they gave everything a plavisky particle battery that could run out, and created meta game of you better have a GN drive or some other type of engine. It got really stupid when one the crossbone guys teammates was holding a fuel pack to refill his suit.The on thing I actually do hate about the show though is why explicitly show his master is Domon, the king of hearts, Kasshu and then never do anything involving Domon. That's an absolute waste, and I've never been able forgive it.
>>23507235It's not "murdered your mother" bad, but at best its bland and forgettable, with a couple potentially interesting things thrown here and there. It's frustrating when a sequel completely misunderstands what makes the original fun and proceeds to fumble on very basic elements. I probably would have enjoyed it more if it was offensively bad so I could at least laugh at it.
>>23507255>but at best its bland and forgettable,That's pretty much my exact opinion of it. It's the kind of show no one would ever talk about if it didn't have its tied to the Gundam franchise and the sequel to the original build fighters.
>>23502115It's a boring children's toy commercial
>>23507235>A portion of /m/ has a tendancy to make it sound like Try murdered their mother.After Build Fighters, getting Try was like getting Megabloks (the older ones). It appears to have all the same parts but it doesn't fit together at all, the pieces themselves are of shit quality, and once it was all done it fell apart the minute you looked at it too hard so you just piled it into a bin and stuffed it in the closet, never to be seen again.
It wasn't good, but it wasn't that bad since /m/ loves its hyperbole just like the rest of 4chanThe real problem is that the original Build Fighter wasn't all that good either but it gets put on a pedestal because it's a show made to validate gunplafags and their retarded consumerist mentality.
The best thing about it was Fumina and Bandai's foray into girlpla thanks to her.
>>23507457That's one of the better descriptions of it.
>>23502115To me, the best part was Shia. Too bad she was underutilized. Second? Fumina. Her porn and her popularity pushing Bandai into making more girlpla.
When's the next Build series? It's been a while.
>>23507970Hopefully the whole concept has been shitcanned.
>>23507970Last one we got was that weird live action thing. It wouldn't surpsie me if it's rebranded the next time it pops up.
>>23507970They might do one the year before the 50th anniversary.
>>23508506I watched Real one day when I was bored and that series was actually kind of endearing.Everybody kind of forgets about the Metaverse tie-in crap they did, God knows how much of a money sink that whole affair has to be.
>>23502115It made MS girls canon.
>>23508506Last one was Build Metaverse.I don't blame anyone for forgetting its existence though.
>>23508735They really shouldn't. That set up with the shota being secretly trained by his shishou shopkeep oneesan as the series char was a really good dynamic they could have milked so, so very far. I want them to recycle that for the eventual build series set around gundam frames.
>>23509445> Hawaiian boy groomed by sexy oneesan shopkeeper to do exciting thingsSounded like the best plan to me.
>>23509464How exactly do you mess up a three episode oneeshota show
>>23502378>>23505611The whole situation was like the second coming of Digimon Xros Hunters, down to everyone suddenly operating in three-man teams.
>>23502378>They also mandated the terrible tri-battle thing because they wanted more gunpla to sell.This was really the show's biggest issue and most of the other problems stemmed from it. The other big issue was moving away from real animated plastic models to holograms, likely due to corporate meddling because they didn't want kids breaking their plamo.
>>23507235> and created meta game of you better have a GN drive or some other type of engine.I do wonder what the meta would be if Gunpla battles existed IRL, like I'm assuming almost everyone would be using GN Drives as a power unit for that Trans Am powerup while using IBO-based nanolaminate suits as armor to counter Funnel and beam spamming. Meanwhile the G-Gundam based suit mains are the crackheads of the game by ignoring everything and using super-robot bullshit and robot fists to beat up everyone.
>>23502115will we get another Build series once Nagasaki is out of the My Hero gulag?
>>23510419I just want them to not bring fucking Kimura back again for the next series.
Sex with my wife Gyanko!

>>23510330We used to have "ITT Gunpla Battle is real" threads where people regularly posted abuses they'd "seen". E.g. a team of 3 Turn X Gundams using their separation mechanism to share parts with each other, all while putting their cockpits in different parts of their bodies so you can't tell how many you've eliminated.
>>23510330the true "meta" is using what you think is coolest since we get confirmation that the quality of your build and customization directly affects your gunplas performance and seeing as the limit to how much bullshit you can slap onto your suit is seemingly just your willingness to burn money for replacement parts and hobby supplies youd probably end up with a bunch of psycho zaku esque flying murderballs with as many gimmicks and features integrated into it as possible while retaining a consistently high level of quality
>>23511969There still are some parts that are just flat broken, at least how they're presented. GN Drives are basically free value with no clear downside. There's probably some other dumb stuff like that, like if you choose to make your Gunpla entirely as-is but then swap out the inner frame for a Psychoframe and it's free boost to performance.They do emphasize creativity but there are some dumb concepts of parts that are seemingly just out-of-box superior.
>>23512069theres probably a sort of "banlist" integrated since we dont see people using moonlight butterflies or other various bullshit superweapons if i had to guess how such a system would be managed in real life any sort of tournament play would probably have a sort of point system where each gimmick and feature costs a certain amount of points to prevent things like gn drive spam or putting psychoframe onto everythingthis would also allow for tournaments that cater to various "power levels" of gunpla to satisfy the people that want super robot esque beam spam and the people that want walking tank battles
I still get upset about Tryon's reaction in-universe whenever the thought enters my head.What a complete total slap in the face to everything that made the first series good. Completely shitting on the entire message of everything about Gunpla as a whole.Just one of the most tone-deaf things I've ever seen in any media in my entire life.
In the first series there was a lot more variety to mobile suits, and you got to see stuff that hadn't been animated in years get to have a cameo. Then Try comes around and everything is just Zetas and Exias, and OC gundams.
like the show had set up so much stuff for it to go nowhere.also there is like no point in them be in teams of 3 if every fight 4 people get knocked out immediately and its a 1v1 for 99% of the fight
