Sei is so boring though, Kousaka and he got played for a total bitch in this episode. He may be a good Gunpla builder but he really is utterly useless in every other regard. He isn't dislikeable, but he's just not interesting to follow around.

This show has some really imaginative designs considering most of them are never to be seen again as soon as they are introduced. Some of the most crucial Gundam in this show are the least interesting visually. I guess this is due to budgetary reasons but it's still disappointing. I hope we start getting some longer battles at some point too.

The story wont change your world, but I do really appreciate how the reality of the situation is always a part of the series. No one wants to rule the world through the use of kids collectables, battles don't result in you dying or whatever else. It's a show with stakes that feel as huge as those, but it still tells a story which actually works within the context of kids playing with models.

I like Sei it's very easy to put yourself in his shoes because whenever he goes super geek on something I picture that as a lot of situations we ourselves being uber geeks find ourselves in.

He's very endearing, with a character like his it's easy to make him the Yugi Mouto type character how he's pretty much useless unless he has people helping him out or the cooler big brother watching over him.

But what I like about him is that Sei isn't totally useless and his relationship with Reiji is very symbiotic. Neither is completely reliant on the other person but they complement each other's skill set well.
