Gundam Build Fighter Review

When Gundam Meet Decade

Finally, I can watch the series, Gundam Build Fighter. I have the series long ago but I just get the motivation to watch it. I finished the 25 episodes on two days, Saturday and Sunday. Hmm, first, this series is very very influented with the trend in Japan. The trending theme is started by kamen rider Decade, Onore Dikeido. Then, its followed by Kaizoku sentai Gokaiger. The third series brougth this theme is Ultraman Ginga. And the last series (as far as I know) is Gundam Build Fighter. This series released after Gundam Age finished its time.

In this series, we can see another Gundams from another series because this series take place on the (half) real world. The story is about the gunpla battle. The battle between the model kits. The first episode shows Gundam Wing in battle but it is destroyed easily by the enemy. Finally, the main character took Sttrike Gundam as the basic model for his gunpla. Another character took Gundam Wing as his basic model. So, its healed the bad feeling about the destruction of Gundam Wing on the first episode. But, the sad news is, the history will repeat itself. 

The cool moment, one of some cool moments, when the main chara get battle with another gunpla builder. They dont do that battle with battle system, but use their own imagination. Its very strange for the audience because they just do motionless. The battle take place on their heads.

But, there were an unmainstream battle. When Gundam fight in baseball. Its really weird but I really dont guess the way they can win the battle. The main Gundam use some kind of inner power as the main finisher. It is called RG System. Its just like chakra in shinobi and reiatsu in shinigami world. I dont see this fighting style in Gundam Wing and Gundam 00.

Its very interesting too when I know one of my favourite Gundam get the spotlight. It is Gundam Exia. Its very cool when Exia join the stage. Its also use its repair mode. But the sad news, Exia is not the main Gundam in this series so Exia has surrended its role. Fortunately, Exia use his special skill, trans-Arm. Move like lightspeed, just like Faiz axel form and Kabuto’s clock up.

Another cool Gundam in this series is Sengoku astray Gundam. Its own by a chara who is called samurai boy. It has cool fighting style. Two swords and two extended hands. Uff, maybe I should have this unit, after I have Exia actually. The cool chara, samurai boy, lose his cool style when a girl claimed herself as his girlfriend. Its very very ackward moment.

Actually, the idea to make a toy move and fight following the system is very very brilliant. I wonder if this kind of technology exist. Maybe this time, its just in the anime but who knows. 2000 years later, this anime will become a reality. 

Overall, this series is really entertain because you can meet funny moments in almost every episode. Its very different with another mainstream series which very very serious.
