A few days before or after, Within a week on either side, I just forgot which direction. Soon enough. Glad to have both.

One show to celebrate the fandom itself, and one to build more foundations for the fandom of the future. We live in good times.

They would be even better times if we were going to get G-Reco here. As of right now I don't even think we're going to get a legal stream.

I'll take G-Reko instead, Build Fighter's first season was such a huge mess of ridiculousness in the form of ill-conceived ideas that I have no faith in season 2.

Big blah hum give sure phils area got it stream but anime in phils tv these days are so over re-run & lack fresh.

& of course phils area still got no anime dvd-blu discs really do NOT trust phils tv management for screwing anime showings in phils area.

^Unfortunately, DVDs/BDs are not really very profitable in the Phils. and they don't have distributors like Funimation. Even if they did I highly doubt people would buy them. At least there are still cable TV channels like Animax and Hero TV

Ooooh even here in Philippines?

The only updated anime that was aired here in my country is Kuroko's Basketball Season 2 and Naruto Shipuuden. I am still sad that a current station removed animes and replaced it with cartoons.

And yet, still unlucky because Animax and Hero TV are for cable subscribers only.

What's so ill-conceived about it? It was a fun and entertaining romp with likeable characters that don't spout pseudo-psychology as in other Gundams. Also, considering that Gunpla is one of the very foundations of Gundam's success story having an full-fledged anime devoted to it was a long time coming.

A 14 year old kid with 2 PHDs, able to infiltrate high tech security for one thing. Even for what's supposed to be a fun and entertaining romp, which is supposedly set in the real world I might add, this is an insult to the audience' intelligence. It just conveniently writes its characters in such ways to be so as to be lazy and avoid some kind of rhyme or reason.

This is just ONE of many ridiculous things they went for.

unfortunately for those that live in the US and are waiting for an english dub version for for both Build Fighters and AGE.

not to mention any dvd releases for any of those series. its as i said, unless bandai ent somehow rises from the dead or sunrise creates a US division like Aniplex, the gundam series in the western area is all but extinct which will mean that the chances of Gundam Reconguista coming to the US is all but naught.
