I can't stop watching this.

OMG lulz

Chewin and Sim right now:

 

 

 

I could never  fully understand the existence of such characters in serious shows.

They seem like an after-thought, tacked-on, not really belonging in he setting.

 

Speaking of which, I heard there's a fight going on here.

So I'll confess to a not-so-guilty pleasure-

 

Started and watched all the current episodes of Gundam Build Fighters Try, as well as finally pushed myself to reach the last five episodes of the original GBF.

 

It is unabashedly fun, tongue in cheek, full of cameos and references to past series (Gundam and other mecha), and in many respects self-aware. As far as tournament-style anime it's quite good, having solid animations and generally well-choreographed fight scenes, enjoyable quirky characters, a nice network of character relationships and development, and not at all pretending to be serious or have any doom-and-gloom. Plus, for older viewers, the first outright gundam MILF.

 

It's like Yugioh, except without children's card games, egyptian spirits, the power of friendship, horrible voice acting, blatant-rule breaking, poor fight scenes, world-threatening consequences, contrived childhood abuse drama, or card games on motor cycles and other death traps.

 

But it does revolve around a children's toy that people take overly seriously.

[Some Geth]

Yeah the Gundam Build Fighters series have been really fun.

 

But two things.

 

Lalah Sune was the actual first Gundam MILF. According to Char anyway.

 

And English Brock Kaiba and Japanese Jack Atlas shows you know nothing of the great voice acting Yugioh has.

 

 

That is all.

It is largely subjective whether one finds something adorable or not in a medium. I myself found the Tachikomas to be rather annoying and if it weren't for their continious discussions on the concept of individuality I wouldn't have liked them that much.

Speaking of LOGH, I am still having a hard time deciding whether I like Reinhard or Yang Wenli more. I admire Wenli as a character but Reinhard more as a political figure. Truly, I keep jumping back and forth with these two. But this is one reason why the show is so great. Rarely do I find myself rooting for both parties almost on an equal basis. I love it!

Indeed. Those two military geniuses with great ideas, plus so many other sympathy-able great characters.

Char is awesome.

 

Still f**ked up tho.

@Sim

That is indeed a peculiar way to put it, lol.

But yes, that is the essence of Wenli which I love, and exploring it from different viewpoints in the story (Reinhard and the Empire, people directly and indirectly around Wenli and the Alliance, Phezzan included) is a joy to watch.

Though personally I think I lean more towards Reinhard, since he is in a lot of ways taken directly from Thomas Hobbes’ Leviathan (a work that I admire). As we can witness in the show, Reinhard's experience with the Empire and the nobility thought him that a sole monopolizer of power-- whether a person or political body--is necessary to impose order and peace. To that end, Reinhard systematically amassed political power and ruthlessly eliminated his opposition, also learning of the importance of image in the projection of power.

Experiencing how he goes through with everything and beyond that (so far at least) is an aspect I enjoy watching more than p*rn, if I may be so blunt.

Never mind me...just drinking coffee and doing some orbital bombardment of this thread.

[Chewin]

So is this Lelouch fellow that impressive of an individual? I'm curious.

[Chewin]

I geass people, started my own military, started my own country, took over the throne, declared war on the world and destroyed over half of it in the process.
 
Then I was stabbed right in front of everyone, on camera! Now my ghost haunts this thread. 
 
Ohhhhhhhhh...... Boo!

Impressive feats for sure, but the importance lies in how it acted upon and what factors are used to reach that state. In what manner does he directly and / or indirectly affect these outcomes? Does he at all? How does it develop? What aspects are in his usage and how does he act on them? Are there allies on his side? Does he utilize them as well? If so, to what extent? How pro-active is he about the conflict, are there any ideological factors or ulterior motives that drive him? Etc.

So I am interested in knowing what distinguishes him as a character and more importantly as a leader. Appreciate if you refrain from any major spoilers.
