The common thread is that the things I didn't like later in the show (and the V-Cinemas in Build's case, obviously) have led me to reevaluate my overall opinion on the series, and not for the better. The Cross-Z and Grease movies, to me at least, aren't merely crappy in a vacuum. They're an escalation of underlying issues with Build's writing that have been there longer than I wanted to admit to myself. Seemingly minor symptoms I chose to ignore.
Part of me has been saving up a big rant on Build for a while, but if that's ever going to happen at all, it's not right now. The thing about my opinion on Gaim is it never
stopped
evolving. It eventually looped back around into being a series I can say I enjoyed again, and the whole experience kind of taught me how to avoid falling into the same trap again. I spent a good year or so denying to myself that there was ever anything in Gaim I loved to begin with, and no matter how similar the situations get, I don't think there's any risk of that happening to Build. After all, the things we believed in were not an illusion, right?
Build is a weird show for me. I was absolutely loving the hell out of it when it aired, almost ranking it as highly as Ex-Aid in terms of overall quality. But within six months I really struggled to remember much about it. There was a thread on here back in December where we all ranked out favorite shows of the decade and I didn't even remember Build existed until after I posted my list. It really has ended up in that weird media zone that belongs to Kabuto and season 7 of Doctor Who: I just tend to forget that they exist unless someone directly reminds me of them.
And yes, the subsequent irony of my Tokunation avatar is not lost on me.
