Watchlist: GBF Try and Gundam Reconguista in G

This quarter seems to be promising in case of my comeback to watching anime. I've recently held custom to watching out for the Akame ga Kill! series and the remake of the Sailormoon franchise Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon: Crystal. But that's not what I want to blog about, isn't it? Not Gundam-wise, anyways.

This season offers quite a delicious treat for Gundam lovers (well, Gundam noobs like me, anyway) as Bandai sets out to feature two series : Gundam Reconguista in G and Gundam Build Fighters Try.

Three episodes in, I can't quite focus on Reconguista - jeeez all that dancing! Opening and ending credits and they are happily dancing... hahah I don't know! It looks fun, though. But funny aside, the series looks like they're gonna get pretty serious any time soon. I'm quite impressed with the G-Self. And the concept of the photon batteries and all those cables going up to space (the "space elevator").... I'm just a bit pissed they're using wired old-school telephones there!  Have you noticed they haven't said a single word of "Gundam"?

Gundam Build Fighters Try is like the first season... in a way. Of course, the discovery of Sekai as a natural "fighter" is similar to that of Reiji - they both have no idea about Gunpla in the first place. And the enthusiast like Sei Iori who discovers him, Fumina, is the only member of the school Gunpla Battle Club. Of course, the artistic character is the brother of first season's China Kousaka, Yuuma. Aww, let's not forget our first cutie for this season, Sekai's sister, Mirai.

Here's to hoping for more interesting episodes!

Pageviews!

Wow, I'm surprised I EVEN get page views! Wohhooo!

Thank you readers and stumblers! Thank you tagging!

Gundam Build Fighters: Try

So as an intro for the upcoming season 2, "Gundam Build Fighters Try", here is a video depicting China Kousaka six years later from the last Gunpla Battle. 

This epilogue was part of the Gundam Build Fighters BD Box 2 and it ties up with next season's story. 

And with that, how about the first trailer for Gundam Build Fighters Try?

Are you not excited?!

A Dreamy Maintenance Bay

Some people are freaking great artists.

Just look at this awesome masterpiece!

The Maintenance Bay at the Eve of Battle 

I love the attention to detail! I have not seen such a lifelike(?) detailed impression of the core fighter. Not to mention those teeny-weeny tiny people! And its in such a wonderful perspective... makes me miss drawing perspectives....O_O It is a great delivery of a scene and a very, very cool fanart.

This dreamy representation of the maintenance bay caught my attention among Gundam Guy's numerous posts this week. The post linked it to a Pixiv account owned by wang景天 . It is very impressive, don't you think? And looking at the artist's gallery, I think he really does great art work. 

Things like these makes me wish I have a lot of free time to create something equally awesome.

Wow.
It's almost two months now, and I haven't got anything here!

Well, that's real life for you. Too much goin' on in the real world.

Anyways, a friend and I went to the first day, Friday, of the 13th Philippine ToyCon up at the Megatrade Halls in SM Megamall. It was the retailer's day, so it was kinda blah.. much of the more exciting events were going to happen the next two days of it's three-day excursion. Only went there for an item pick-up from Greattoysonline.com.

Don't have gundam work-in-progress on my desk as of now, the HG Wing Gundam Fenice is still in the box. I miss working on ze model kits.... T_T

O but I haven't posted my last two works, the HG BearguysanIII and the MG Strike Rouge + Ootori.

I actually love this guy... especially on that pissed-off look.

Okay on the balance.

so cuuuute!!!

So I panel-lined the guy a few days later and it looks pretty decent.

I got this at the 2nd wk May, my 1st ever 1/6th scale.

A WIP of the Strike Rouge from a month ago.

GUNDAM BUILD FIGHTERS-Episode 25: Promise

So our beloved series has ended a month ago and we are left with an itch - an itch to antagonize the creators for a second season!!!

Not quite the ending I was looking forward to... because I'm all psyched for the next season!!!

The Gundam gods have heard our prayers!

Yes! According to an article in Crunchyroll, plans for a new series is in progress as announced on the official site for the Gundam Build Fighters TV Anime. It was also formally announced at the recent 53rd Shizuoka Hobby Show 2014 featuring a poster reading "GUNPLA BATTLE NEXT FIGHTERS STANDBY".

Isn't it exciting!?

I'm currently watching the Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn OVA on YouTube and you know what? I think I regret not seeing it the first time it aired! It is that fucking awesome! Now, I'm planning my next haul from the toy store should include the Unicorn and the Banshee. ^_^
