When I watched the original Build Divers back in 2018, I enjoyed the adventures of Riku and his force Build Divers, like the Gunpla battles, friendship scenes, some little character building and unexpected twists. I really wanted more and when I first saw a glimpse of Re:RISE, I got my wish. Though, I didn't expect the protagonist, Hiroto to have a Gundam that could equip and change armour.
For part 1 back on October, I was hooked on its singular story with some character building arcs for Hiroto, Kazami, Parviz and May, fantastic 'story mission' battles against an enemy force known as the 'One Eyes' and a world with lots and lots of FURRIES. Like Freddie, who summoned these four and called them 'Build Divers'.
I enjoyed every bit of it, but there were some shocking twists in the last three episodes and what shocked me the most was that the 'story mission' the team played was in fact a real world! I was even like, 'they made an actual Gundam story in a Build Series?! Wow!' I even wanted to know what happens next in part 2.
Then part 2 came in April and I really enjoyed the story up to episode 18, when it had to pause production due to COVID, which really sucked. But the I got to watch the rest of part 2 when it returned to screens in the summer. And I really enjoyed it very much.
I watched emotional and heartwarming scenes, learned of tragic backstories on Freddie's planet, Eldora and Hiroto's story in GBN. But I enjoyed episodes when team Build Divers save a player who was possessed by the enemy and destroying their base with a Gaogaigar inspired mech, 'Re:Rising Gundam.' And yes there are many references to other anime in the series.
Gundam Build Divers Re:RISE was so fantastic, I wanted Sunrise to make a Build Divers movie. No joke. I wish more people would watch this show, whether they watched the original Build Divers series or not.
