Gundam Build Fighters: Complete Collection

If your looking for Gundam that's fun and reminds you of the days of waking up early to watch pokemon, Yugioh, or .hack/ this is a great series! My son's love it. The audio is clean and clear, crisp HD image, all around a good buy 👌.

Gundam Build Fighters is a whole new idea for the world of Gundam. Taking place in our world instead of an alternate future timeline, Gunpla is sweeping the world and hobby shops now utilize special machines that allow players to upload their Gunpla and fight them in a virtual reality world. This allows for Mobile Suit combat without the need of a war to go along with it. The show follows Sei Iori and his quest to find a pilot for his custom Gunpla and compete in the Gundam Battle World Tournament!This 25 episode series is contained on 3 Blu-ray Discs and looks amazing. Now, it does have an English dub that was actually recorded for the Phillipines broadcast but it's best to ignore it. It's not "fandub" bad but it's definitely not typical Gundam dub quality. Otherwise, this is a fun show and has a lot of cameos from just about every Gundam series and many manga MS as well! This is also only the first of three seasons and RightStuf has already announced that season 2 will be out in Spetember!

Really great series. This slightly reminds me of Robotics Notes (which I am a huge fan of). Glad this anime had a full 25 episode season. The dub isn't the greatest (no voices i really recognized from other animes which is very rare for me) but it's not the worst I've ever heard either. Sei is really the only voice I dislike which is unfortunate since he is the main character but it isn't unbearable. Picture quality is excellent on the blu ray. Extremely vibrant colors and very detailed backgrounds. Story itself is pretty straight forward but there are a few mysteries which keep it interesting. Tons of great gunpla battles. The story progresses well and you get a decent amount of background on most characters. Cant wait for the sequel series to come out next. Overall 4.5/5.

Gundam Build fighters is a fun series and you get to see a lot of different Gundam. I had watched this online and I'm glad to have a physical copy.

Gundam Build Fighters is the equivalent to combining Gundam with Yu-Gi-Oh!. The show is set on a version of Earth where Gundam is just a popular tv show similar to our own universe and Gundam Modeling is a huge thing. Where the Yu-Gi-Oh comparison comes in is the Gundam Models can be battled on a special holographic table that brings each Gundam Model (or Gunpla as the term used in the show) to life. We meet our main character Sei, a Gundam obsessed middle schooler who can build the best of Gunpla, but doesn't have the skill to control it on the Battle Platform. Then in walks Reji, a mysterious teen that while has no knowledge of Gundam, has the best control over the Gunpla Battle System that Sei idolizes. They then team up to enter in the Gunpla Tournaments to fight the most skilled of fighters from around the world.Where the show shines is the depth of Gundam history brought to the mix of models the Fighters use. Everything from the classic Mobile Suit Gundam to Gundam 00 has a place in the series. The best part of the show is seeing the variants the builders made to the existing Mobile Suits and Armors. The main character uses a variant of the Strike Gundam from the SEED series. Another fighter uses an asymetrical Wing Gundam with the colors based upon the Italian flag. And one is a Teddy Bear themed Acguy suit from the original Mobile Suit Gundam. And the battles are fun and exciting a good portion of the time.The characters controlling the Gunpla though are actually pretty sterotypical. Sei is the kid who dreams of winning, Reji the one who helps Sei achieve his goal, China the cute but shy girlfriend and more. Some characters are sterotyped to the Gundam series itself. One character, Yuuki, fulfills the obligatory Gundam staple of being the Char clone, while others are ripped straight from the series like Mr. Ral, an in universe version of Ramba Ral from Mobile Suit Gundam. But again if your a fan of Gundam this can be fun to recognize each reference to the series. In particular note, pay close attention to the Gundam Festival near the end of the series.Now I originally watched the series subtitled and loved it. I highly recommend watching it this way because the dub on this set is horrible. Sei sounds a little too young, while Reji someone who should be 14 or so sounds like a 30 year old man or so. And then they ham up the sterotypes of other cultures a tad much. Fellini, the Italian fighter gets a tad overplayed.Overall if your a Gundam fan I would highly recommend the series as long as your looking for fun battles and not so much life or death stakes as the usual series would. It may even be a good introduction to younger fans.

Overall an excellent collection of all the episodes of Gundam Build Fighters. The images are crisp and a lot of the smaller details (such as the cameos in Gunpla Eve) are much easier to spot. Just do yourself a favor watch with subtitles the English dub just doesn't have the same heart and some of the voices are just ugh.

This is not your typical Gundam series but rather a series for fans of Gundam and Gunpla. So many little Easter eggs. It is just a fun series that made me smile non stop. Also,Ramba Ral randomly showing up places and imparting wisdom was hillarious.

Watched the dub, Iori and Fellini's was not great, but the others are not bad. I know this is the Filipino dub. Iori VA just didn't seem like it match him and Fellini's dub the fake Italian accent wasn't helping at all. But nice collection to have if a fan of the series
