I find it kind of amusing that as soon as Build turns out to be good people say they don't like the suit designs anymore...

Fair enough on the alternate forms, but imo the base forms for the riders and Transteam users so far look great.

In terms of overall series I feel Gaim may have competition with Build. Shogo Muto is proving an inspired choice of main writer so far and I've enjoyed every episode so far.

My only concern is that toy sales may change the direction of the plot and lead to a situation like in Ex-Aid where Dan Kuroto and Kiriya both got revived (apparently there was a heavy rewrite around the latter half due to this). Just hope we don't have any characters who feel unnecessary in the long run and that the standard of writing can continue right the way through an entire 48 episode season or however long Build turns out to be, because we've had so much good so far that I fear the plot may end up having to be stretched to meet the full season length and we may be forced to get guest writers in to write filler episodes like in Gaim where three of the episodes were promotion material not written by Urubochi.

Excited to see how it unfolds but I suspect one thing is for sure, war is inevitable. It seems like the natural way to esculate the conflict and who knows, maybe Soichi's training of Sento is meant to lead up to the acquisition of his final form.
