Now that it turns out there was an existing Beargguy II, perhaps that means there was a Gunpla Builders sequel as well.

What an unwelcome resolution to Bearggate.

It dissapoints me that in BF, apparently most girls only want off the shelf 'cute' Gunpla.

Well, when Aila was left to her own devices she picked a Sazabi to customize, and even when she picked an SD it was a Command Gundam. So I guess she likes heavy firepower, as with Fumina.

Hence why I'm fans of them :)

Well, less so Fumina currently. Girl needs to walk the walk rather than just talk the talk.

What, you got a problem with cute things? Who doesn't love cute things?

I get your implication, but I think you're being too negative about it. Just look at this episode: Yuuma showed Mirai a bunch of different 'not girl' kits first. He didn't automatically go "You're a girl so you have to use this!" Mirai picked that kit because it's the one she wanted to pick.

Not to negate your point, but it was hobo Takashi that picked up the SD Command for her.

Given that Build Fighters is the spiritual successor to Gunpla Builders, I wonder what an actual sequel for that might be like. A proper series with an eventual tournament on a national scale perhaps or a proper OVA that follows a new protagonist and crew on their building adventures? Gunpla in that universe also take what is Model Damage Level B at worst, so not much repair would be needed even after being wrecked in-game. That would allow for many MS to be showcased and gunpla to be sold by Bandai.

Combine with his previous statement on fan art, I proudly offer my synthesis that HellCat prefer Yaoi Fangirl :mrgreen: (just kidding)

My issue is they still went with it as her unit. Don't forget the recent Sunrise trend of giving prominent females a rebuilt mecha painted pink.

I don't have a problem with girl characters liking cute things but Try does somewhat awkwardly push the Bandai line of 'This is the one aimed at girls!'.

It'd mean losing the empowering fact she built it herself but I think I'd prefer it if Yuuma had built Beargguy F and presented it to Mirai as a gift. The way they went about it just mildly bugs me. Would probably help if I felt Try was doing a good job with females in general.

Well in any case, we still have hope with an awesome powerful girl in the form of "Lady". Let's just hope she's AMEJIN as she should be...

But then the problem would be Yuuma choosing the stereotypically cute Gunpla for Mirai simply because she's a girl rather than her making the choice herself, which would make him look sexist to some viewers. And I think we can all agree, the LAST thing Yuuma needs right now is more stuff that makes people dislike him.

I'm reminded of the old joke:

Re: The Official Gundam Build Fighters Try Anime Thread Mk I

See, I find saying stuff like "it's bad to have girls like cute things" just as problematic as saying "girls should only like cute things." Either way you're limiting the choices women have, which is wrong.

The GM Cardigan wasn't cute, and Fumina didn't switch to an SD Gundam for it's appearence. The R-GyaGya isn't cute, the Victory isn't cute, the Stargazer isn't cute. You can harp about the colour choice but that's such a minor thing.

Re: The Official Gundam Build Fighters Try Anime Thread Mk I

As far as color choices go, I have immediate female family members who love pink and are proud of it, so color isn't an issue for me per se, so long as they don't push the idea that women MUST have pink units.

I know a lot of girls like pink, so from a standpoint of wanting to sell models girls might like, making it one of the most popular colors that sex prefers (especially in Japan from where I hear pink is especialy popular) is a valid marketing scheme.

So next week's episode we finally reunite with Samurai Boy, erm, Samurai Man.
I wonder if Caroline will feature as well.
Any expectations at the moment folks for episode 11?

I wonder if Nils will be able to use his knowledge of particle physics to explain any of the mysteries about the Build Burning, but I wouldn't say I'm expecting it to happen.

He's also a serious martial arts fan and based his Gundam off a samurai. Chances are his Gary Stu abilities have a long reach in the mysteries of fantasy kempo.

Some off-hand remarks/explanations of what happened between GBF and Try.

Re: The Official Gundam Build Fighters Try Anime Thread Mk I

On Bearguy topic, I say it's just running gag for Gunpla Battle series, all of them since Gunpla Builder have The Chick use Bearguy or its variants. Both of Gunpla Builder manga (D & J) feature Bearguy variants, in case of D, Saki (who usually use pretty scarry-looking gunpla) even note how she's going to play the role of damsel in distress in upcoming battle (it isn't complain, she seem to enjoy roleplaying).

How many "super moves" (Jigen Haoh and other gamebreaker close combat techniques) have we seen so far and what do each they translate into?
