So glad you got the "Dan VS" reference.

I need to rewatch that show.

So, um... Everyone in the forum.... What's everyone's thoughts on Build? We're this close to the end. Has it been a great ride? Or has it been a rushed mess of a show?

I made a bit of a post (post 395) in the "Controversial Rider Opinions" section a few months back, around episode 37. Basically detailing my distaste for the show in regards to the writing, pacing, rushed form spacing (new form jobs after 2 episodes; old weak form does well against final forms), weird power scaling, and overall the show as a whole feels.... really bad. To me, at least.

I felt like it kinda started going downhill since the war started in episode 15, and went further downhill around the mid 20s (looking at you, predictable rep battle arc), and then just kinda jumped into pit of death around Evolto's debut in episode ~33.

Side tangent here, the ratings for Build, actually, have been steady 3s and 2s after episode 18, and even more so after episode ~27. I know most Rider shows don't do well- usually averaging 4's and 3's, and the occasional 2.
But.... Ghost's average rating (a 5.0%) and Ex-Aid's average rating (a 3.9%)... they're better than Build (a 3.2% so far).
So Build started losing viewers pretty early on around the start of the war (the highest-rated episode, pilot aside, was episode 3 with a 4.6%).

And since I made that post, my opinions on Build haven't changed much. I just simply don't enjoy the show. Never have.

...

And, as far as I know, everyone has been endlessly praising this show (much like Gaim, Digimon Tamers, OG Pokemon or XYZ, or PMD Explorers Of Sky... and how those seasons have essentially cult followings/hive minds).
Again, like most gritty Rider shows, it's usually "the best thing ever that nothing will beat" until either its ending flops or something even grittier comes along.

But lately, that praise has turned to indifference, or disinterest. One might even say hate. And I'm wondering why?

Everyone loved this show. A discord server I'm in actually doesn't like talking about Build (probably because I've railed on it a total of nine times). Heck, some people still love this show (even though I personally think it's about average to less-than-average)!

What made everyone turn on it all of a sudden?
