I don't care what characters we see in the remainder of this series, as long as we get to see Sei and Reiji and find out what happened with them following the previous series. I can't believe we're almost to nationals in this series with no significant mention of those characters yet.

Remember how long it took to finally see Dad (Mr. Iori)? I think they'll use it as a big reveal the way they did with him. |

Does this mean that they'll show up disguised as hobos? |

I agree with everything in the episode 11 review except:
I don't think Shin Matsunaga is that obscure. He is actually pretty well represented in games including the currently incredibly popular (in Japan) arcade series Extreme VS. Hopefully they do raise the stakes with their trip. I mean when even their gunpla take no damage, it really makes it seem less significant that they're taking damage. Last season you would see the gunpla of the loser in pieces and I could kinda feel for them putting in all that work and then seeing it smashes to bits. |

Am i crazy or does the drone gundam they had full size in Episode 11's beginning look like oversized Armored Trooper Votoms ScopeDog?

Honestly what surprised/confused me the most about the mysterious, white-haired waif in episode 12 was that they hadn't appeared in the opening sequence at all, you can't just introduce new important characters without showing them off first!
And fans who've been reading the credits say that Saga is the one who took out Yuuma's gunpla two years ago, apparently the VAs are the same although I'll admit that the characters look fairly different. |

Is there still people watching this?
Episode 13 came out, its not bad. spoiler[Lead is upping his game after defeat yesterday. I know this is a huge advertising campaign by Sunrise for Gunpla, but episode itself pretty good in its intensity and excitement if you like Mecha shows.. Now Build Burning broken, their doing upgrade for the big tournament. I don't know how their going top blowing up the moon with a finishing move. I wish they'd write shows that could hook people into it as well this one for the Gundam franchise. traditionally i think in comparison to G-Recon, this one is doing better job. But does this says bad things that fans aren't really into space operas or actual scifi stories anymore verses flashy tournament fighting shows?] Last edited by Wrangler on Thu Jan 08, 2015 3:09 pm; edited 1 time in total |

Not gonna lie, as soon as I saw like, everyone who had a gunpla and then some challenging each other to a match I was practically chanting "battle royale, battle royale!" so I was rather amused when it actually happened!

I don't know when they switched the official spelling, but it did use to be Full Vernian which is what they say in the 0083 dub. Really looks like they just happened to have a different guy in charge of writing it in English because the kana for them would be the same. Or maybe they noticed that it was the GP01-Fb so using Vernian didn't actually fit? The significance of the name is probably just that he added thrusters to it as that is all that is significant about the GP01-Fb. It certainly could have a secret, but it won't be coming from the GP01-Fb. |

My guess is that it's REALLY REALLY fast now. We already saw some of that against that poor team at Nationals. (Side note: if they were top seeded, no WONDER the Gunpla Academy always wins easily.) |

The RX-78 GP01-Fb Full Burnern is its official name. Much of the confusion comes from the pronunciation of the Fb. To clarify, watch this short video from Gundam Info's official YouTube channel. If you turn on the captions, it translates it as Full Vernian. However, at the end of the video, it is designated as the Full Burnern. As for Yuuma's upgraded Lightning Gundam, its shares the improved mobility upgrade of the GP01-Fb. The similarities end at that point. The new Lightning Gundam Full Burnern's improved firepower and armaments have not been revealed. If you watch the new opening with an attentive eye, it provides a brief glimpse of mentioned improved firepower. The beam rifle gains an attachment which gives it an output similar to a mega-particle cannon. This is some serious hardware. Generally, the mid-point of a Gundam series since Zeta, is when the main character gains a new and improved Gundam. As for Episode 15's Gunpla Battle, overkill would not describe accurately what happened to the other team. |

It is now. If you go do a google image search you can find stuff including stuff from Japan that has "Full Vernian" in English (though most images are newer and use Burnern so you do have to look for it). Also, if you happen to have a copy of the US release of 0083, they use Full Vernian. So they did actually change it. |

Good action, good comedy, good just about everything. For an "Episode 16" or whatever we're on I can't think of anything else I'd want. Good job on the show, I hope it keeps it going through next week. The upcoming battle with the triplets feels like it may be a let down.
