This isn’t just something I object to in Build though. It’s a similar reason to why I don’t have much love for the lvl 3 suits in Ex-Aid. I’m just not a big fan of the ones that just happen. And with Build it’s been too much too soon for me to really feel anything about them.

There are just too many forms and none of them really have a strong identity. That's what W got right: every single Gaia Memory had a clear function and purpose and it was easy to keep track of what each combination could do. Build has about 3-4 times as many Bottles and I can't even remember half of them, much less understand how their respective forms work and how they interact with different partner Bottles.

That said, I have no problem with the suits. I really like the basic design of the Build suit's overlapping halves and I think most of the forms, even the sillier ones, look damn good. This show has easily my favorite suits since Drive (not that Ghost and Ex-Aid set high bars, but I still really like these).
