I'll be honest, I went in with low expectations. Ghost gave off such good vibes but turned out to be a disappointment while Ex-Aid soared above despite having such unorthodox designs.

But Build has turned out to be good. Not great but just good. However, it shows potential to be great. First episodes are usually bogged down with character and setting exposition along with toy displays so they can be forgiven but Build manages to be interesting.

Kiryuu Sento looks like an intriguing character. Obsessed with science, Rube Goldberg-esque devices and his past, he nonetheless does the heroic thing near the end of the episode.

As for Banjou Ryuuga, it is nice to see Akaso Eiji again. I thought he was great in Amazons S2 as Nagase Hiroki.

The rest of the cast looked a little bit cookie cutter to me. The store owner, the female lead, the evil guy who looks ominously from a high place and says ominous things are all run-of-the-mill by now but those can be forgiven as well.

And finally, I really liked the secret door refrigerator for some reason. Seemed like a minor quirky thing but it stuck in my mind. Overall, not bad, Build, not bad at all.
