So is anyone else getting increasingly bored with the Build Divers anime? I'm starting to. I still enjoy the concept, but the characters just kill it for me. I think my biggest gripe that I can boil it down to is that Riku and his entire team are basically just a bunch of Mary Sues. Well, that's not entirely accurate, but it's hard not to think of that when the Build Divers win literally every battle and event they compete in without ever really having to try. And them constantly cutting to the "veteran" players watching in awe and commenting about how awesome this ragtag Force is? Ugh, just gag me with a spoon already. I'm already seeing people comment that Divers blows Try Fighters out of the water and I'm like, "lolwut" because at least in that series, Team Try Fighters actually had to (pun totally not intended except it totally is) TRY. In fact, they, like Sei and Iori of the original show, actually lost a few times and got their shit wrecked along the way while they were building up their Gunpla's power. I'm not seeing any of that with Divers. Riku is the only character who's bothered to update his Gunpla in any meaningful way. Yukki, Momo, the rest are all using the exact same low tier machines they started with.

Okay, rant over. When are we moving forward in the IC?

I've personally not watched the thing so I can't comment. But so far from what I can tell from your complaints my choice to do so seems pretty valid. Its quite sad that they haven't been able to copy Build Fighters original. It was a simple silly premise. You don't need OP characters, looking at you Sekai, just guys who can do their jobs well enough, and work off each other.

Not entirely sure when we're moving forward but I am looking forward to what may happen.

As for Build Divers I've been watching it as it comes out and it's been alright for me nothing too major. Try was hard to get through because it just seemed like Sekai was going to pull some random bs out of his rear end and win. The original Build Fighters was awesome at least in my eyes. Yeah its a pretty typical Shonen style anime directed to get kids into Gundam and sell model kits but you know what it did its job XD my son loves watching the show and at 4 already wants to help me build models so as a test I'm gonna get him a small cheap SD kit and help him out to see how he does. Regardless, Build Divers doesn't seem to be capturing the same magic and seems to be putting people off more so than the original did.

I'll concede your point about Sekai. But at least he didn't constantly rob Fumina and Yuuma of having any character arcs. Divers is over half way through its run and it still hasn't given Yukki or Mono anything whatsoever. Koichi's entire arc was started and finished with his intro and he's done nothing since then. Ayame and Riku hogged all of the focus through the first half, and now the second half is promising to finally explain what Sarah's deal is. That means her and probably Riku will get all the spotlight once again leaving Yukki and Mono with nothing. Why even have larger teams if they're just going to ignore everyone in favor of yet another power trio (Ayame, Sarah, and Riku)?
