GUNDAM BUILD DIVERS Re:RISE

As each Build series releases it strays farther from a simplistic shounen about celebrating a hobby. Build Fighters was all about improving and learning more about gunpla. Showing that you can be any type of person and still pay Bandai money, with fanservice galore. Build Divers and it's subsequent sequel are now wearing the husk of the original series to pander to the mainstream audience. There's no relevancy to anything about Gundam in the story, characters, or world. The only references you will find are cameos. Re:Rise is just a generic modern isekai with gunpla. It has better animation than Build Divers which is whyI assume a lot of people stayed past the first 3 episodes. Because the story is horrid. It continues the trend of having a "serious" and "deep" plot in a show about building gunpla. Everything is slowly expositioned to you as the episodes go and you'll still have ten questions. There's no build up to plot twists and no character development. There's no exploration of what they shit onto the table. It's just there. There's huge event at episode 12 and you can't care because all of the characters involved(besides Jed) didn't even exist before 1-2 episodes ago. There's only one character with an actual personality: Justice Knight. He's comic relief. The protagonist is an angsty teenager that has a mysterious past that he flashbacks to like he fought in a war. A kuudere with a obvious plot twist and Sei if he was more on the nose of the trope. Only Justice Knight has a clear reason to keep interacting with the plot and the rest just fuck around until it's their turn to get a "character arc". They "learn" teamwork just to split up in the final episode. It's just another shallow show whoring itself out dressed in mainstream fashion. If you like the gunpla shown in the show buy it. But avoid the show. It'll only go further downhill from here.

This was a solid Gundam series, and I am very surprised to be saying that. Coming off the tail end of Build Divers my expectations were very low, however it definitely surprised me. The story is very simplistic but was approached in a way that felt similar to SAO alternative GGO. In that it actually felt like a group of gamers actually playing a game with thought out mechanics. It is also incredibly nice that these characters face failure in the show on more than one occasion. The few twists in the story can barely be considered twists because of how obvious they are. The art andsound aren't really anything special, they're good enough to not be distracting but don't stick out as amazing. If you are a fan of good looking mecha designs there are also some pretty good ones in this series. When going into this show I was extremely worried about the characters after how obnoxious they all were in Build Divers, but this does a good job building each of the main casts personalities and back stories. The MC is a bit of Mary Sue but he does lose enough to not be considered infallible and just comes across as a pro player, they also tie his internal conflicts to things other than "Becoming stronger" like every other shonen protagonist out there. While the main cast is pretty good the background characters are very standard, almost painfully, with very few exceptions.

This anime acts as a form of spin-off/sequel to the anime Gundam Build Divers. Like many others, I hadn't particularly liked Build Divers very much, so I initially dismissed the anime as being more or less the same in terms of quality. However, after hearing various people talk about how much people had enjoyed this, I decided to give this a try, and I actually found it to be quite enjoyable. For those who don't know, unlike standard Gundam anime, the "Build" series is aimed at a younger audience, and feature characters who build their own plastic models of the mecha from Gundam anime and thenbattle other characters. This sounds very much like other children's anime like Beyblade or Bakugan, and there is no doubt that this series was made to sell toys, but I think that just because an anime is meant to sell toys to children doesn't mean that it couldn't be good. In my opinion, the series doesn't particularly feel too heavy on the product placement, though it's still rather obvious at parts. As I had previously said, Build Divers Re:Rise acts as sort of a loose sequel to Build Divers, but the series has a different cast and the story is mostly unconnected. While there are a few plot points that would be better understood if you've seen the original, the show does an okay job at explaining those plot points that it's not completely necessary to do so. If you would rather not be confused on certain plot points, I recommend you to decide whether or not you would want to watch Build Divers before watching this season. The series itself also have quite a few references and easter eggs related to mainline Gundam anime, so if you have seen Gundam before, it is quite interesting to spot them out. However, the references aren't too prevalent, so it's not really necessary for you to have any knowledge of Gundam before watching this series. The premise of the story is not particularly amazing. At its core, the series is about the main characters who enter a "Story Mission" within the game and fight in the various missions, kind of like some kind of RPG, with the premise that they are helping the Resistance (made up of furries) fight against the "One-Eye" mobile suits with their own Gunpla. The overall formula of the series is in the format of several 2-3 episode arcs where the Build Divers interact with the story, practice for the mission, run into some difficulties during the practice and the mission itself, and then resolve the mission. Yes, this is rather generic. However, the arcs themselves are different enough that they don't feel particularly repetitive, and the missions and fights are entertaining enough to watch with each battle having different objectives and conditions. Beyond that, the story does have some mystery elements that I find to be quite interesting. The characters are also rather enjoyable. While the characters aren't really all that complex, they're still fun to watch. Because of how different their personalities are, the team often runs into difficulties during the missions like I've said, and it's enjoyable to watch them overcome their differences and begin to work better together. The characters themselves also receive some character development, and while this development isn't really unique or complex, it's still interesting to watch, such as the main character Hiroto learning to grow more trusting of his teammates. And yes, Kazami starts out pretty annoying in the beginning, but he does get better. The side characters are also surprisingly fun to watch, and I found them to be quite endearing as I watched. The Gunpla fights themselves are alright. The animation isn't particularly amazing, and is more of a mixed bag. Like I said though, the fights are still unique and fun to watch as the the characters have to learn to use different strategies with each battle. The Gunpla that the characters use also have various gimmicks to them that are clearly meant to sell toys, but still fun to watch nonetheless. My main complaints with the battles is that the main character, Hiroto, is often the one that does most of the work, especially near the beginning where he is practically the only one that is competent enough at fighting the enemies. This is mitigated slightly by the fact his Gundam has a lot of various forms that make it so that it doesn't get too stale every time, but the fact that the others don't really get a lot of spotlight still remains. However, this does get better as the episodes progress and the other teammates begin to contribute more to the battles. Another thing that may or may not be an issue is the enemies that the Build Divers fight don't really have that much variety. With some exceptions, the enemies are mostly faceless NPCs with no dialogue, and the suits themselves all have a generic looking gray color with some design differences. While I personally don't mind it as much, it's still something to take into consideration. Ultimately, I found anime to be really enjoyable. Sure, it's meant to sell Gunpla, and the characters and story aren't really all that the complex. However, it's still really fun to watch, both the battles themselves and also the character interactions. The story itself also gets more interesting as it goes on, and ends in a hook for season 2, which I'm currently watching.

I finished watching "Gundam Build Divers Re: Rise" is spin-off and sequel from "Gundam Build Divers" on Crunchyroll. Anyone, who hardcore Gundam series fan here? It's anniversary forty years after the original Mobile Suit Gundam first hit the airwaves in 1979 come to the first Gundam show of the Reiwa era. Gundam Build Divers Re: Rise is Sequel to 2018's lackluster Gundam building divers. Of course, it' was "Gundam as MMORPG" concept to life similar to "Sword of online" and Overlord" were you playing online gaming. Yeas it was a new Isekai and Macha were meet to furries. it's not a kid but it's a dark storyon the final episode. I won't tell you spoiler about the story. It's a very good story between 11 episodes to 13 episodes. Gundam Build Divers Re: Rise is much better than Gundam build divers. I give score: 3.5 out 5 stars. :) but it's sadly season 2 get delayed due to the ongoing Coronvirus Pandemic. Hopefully, Season 2 will be on Summer 2020 or Fall 2020. ========================== animenewsnetwork review: Episodes 1 to 4: 2.5 out 5 stars. Episodes 5: 2 out of 5 stars.
