Just watched episode. A bit late to the party, but here goes: I think this is practically the first and only time we've had a proper rival build-up in Try so far. Minato has been built up since the beginning of the series and it really pays off here. We know his motivations, we know his personality,...

Noir is up! And.... as disappointing as we pretty much already concluded. The backpack is kinda meh at best and the Dual Pistols are basically green version of GN Pistols. Fragach 3 still looks cool and I haven't gotten a chance to try the Dual Rifles yet. Though given what I've seen thus far, I am ...

Just watched the episode, so I figured I'd give my two cents (that no one will care about because its a wall of text). First off, I have very mixed feelings about the fight. On the one hand, it was tactically beautiful. We finally got to see Gunpla Academy fight as a team instead of solo slaughterin...

Cool. Any other "interesting" additions coming our way?

More than half? Heck, you could get the whole thing sans the Noir Striker. As for Cherudim, I popped the Final Battle Spec legs onto my Arsenal Heavyarms. The GN missiles don't have as many shots as Heavyarms' leg homing missiles, and they lack the Supplemental Ammo ability, but they do grant all-r...

Quick comment on Cherudim: Its actually pretty badass, featuring the only access to Leg Remote weapons, an option with dual offense/defense option at the SAME TIME, as well as up to three options for the legs if you use the final specification version. Both weapons are pretty cool. Overall, I am a b...

Pretty much this. Oh well... at least 20 years down the line, when we all get at least as old as the Wing pilots, we might get to see the damn designs.

Everyone expected team job to job. But its REALLY stupid they did it all offscreen. If you're going to have the trouble of making crossbone fight, at least do it onscreen so we see exactly what gunpla academy is going up against. I get that they're going for a parallel here with the renatos brothers...

Yeah, had to run with Duel's Bazooka to get a legitimate weapon. (Canon-wise) Still trying to figure out melee...

Also, really hoping for the bits to show up on the legs this time around. They kinda missed a chance with Providence, so having Cherudim make up for it would be ideal.

You know... for all our "whining", Sekai gets pretty much the same amount of silver platter as Reiji. Free world-class Gunpla, can't repair his own crap, only wins because he can spam Build Knuckle that magically always make contact with the enemy... oh that sounds familiar. Sekai certainl...

Amatsu Bling Frame is up! And... no weapons. Nada. Not even the Amatsu Mina "Totsuka no Tsurugi" double rapiers. No wonder they're releasing two variants of it.

Tad bit underwhelming, no?

Anyhow, I am really looking forward to Dark Nu Burning Uh....What? Going back to this topic a bit: The head is very Hi-Nu-ish, between the placement of the V-fin and the MS having mouth vents. If the 2nd Meijin's Gunpla is the same one, as many people have suspected, you'll notice that the head loo...

Well, if the backdrop is any indication, we have either Sekai or Not-Sleggar intervening. Makes me wonder how in the world Junya managed to incorporate parts of the Build Burning (most obviously his variation of the purple RG) if he doesn't successfully steal the box. And if he does, how does Sekai ...

Now with the SD-R fight being 2 parts we have 7 eps left. Mandatory fights with at least an ep dedicated to them: -Try VS Junya -Try VS Minato -Academy VS Lucas -Try VS Academy There should be at least a filler before the finals, that leaves 2 eps for random fights and character development. If any...

I am not going to get upset over the communicate thing because that's already been established. For all we know, its some sort of tournament rule to only use the "in-game transmission". But I did think the smartest thing was to blow up the castle from outside using the Phoenix move. The pa...

Bandai wanted the Tri Zeta in Try, but it lacked the combination feature for 3on3 battles so we got Tryon3. Well, Try Zeta still got in as Minato's imaginary main MS. It was definitely foreshadowed. I don't think BFT is nearly as bad as people seem to make it out to be. Its nowhere close to BF, but...

Ummmm... You know I didn't notice till my second watching of the episode but Mejin mentioned that the Shingyo School has both an Eastern and Western Schools, and that both would have a representatives at the Nationals. No, he meant that both the Eastern Master Builder (Yuuma) and Western Master Bui...

Its not really a "Black Build Burning Gundam", as a lot of people have been quick to jump on. The basis of the design is definitely a bit different. The head reminds me a bit of either Legend Gundam or Hi-Nu Vrabe.

Question, since I get somewhat confused by Astray's timeline:

Does the Librarian Works stuff happen before or after the most recent Astray stuff? Because the Caltewich feels inferior to Red Frame Kai, but the Blue Frame D definitely seems superior to 2nd Revised.

Very interested in Dark Matter of all things. Practically will buy, but part of me do find it looking kind of weird for now. Maybe better pose/pictures will show up later. I am also REALLY hoping they include Amazing Exia's shield in Dark Matter colors because I am 90% sure the only way Amazing Exia...
