Huh.

And the final battle took up half the episode, with the remaining half being a epilogue.

Interesting. Reminds me of Gurren Lagann in that regard.

This last episode was a legit treat. Though, I have to say, Build stumbled a lot towards the finish line (around 33 was where it started getting stale to me). And while these last few episodes have been great, I do feel like it was... too late to be enjoyable.

To me, Build is still average. But it's not THAT bad. The first half is fantastic. But the latter half is... kinda weird due to the whole Evolto and Paparagi-Lost Bottle stuff. Evolto was a pretty boring villain, let's be real here.
Not to mention the last-minute reveals, such as Utsumi being shown as a cyborg before he died, or the Hell Bros turning good before being killed.

It felt like a bit of a slog. But kudos to those who managed to love the show. I'm happy for you.

Sadly, and much to the hatred/annoyance of people on toku forums everywhere, I didn't really watch most of this show.
About 25 episodes (1-6, 10-15, 17, 19-21, 24, 28, 31, 36-39, and 49) and then most of the 40-48 episode endings (or, rather, anything after the ten-minute mark 'cause I was late to streams). Hence I might not have a "valid" opinion on the show as a whole.

But, for the most part, I didn't really enjoy it from the start.

Anyhoo, not really gonna leave much of a review. Mainly 'cause I don't remember much... aside from my nine rants about Evolto, bad pacing, bad exposition, wonkier-than-usual power scaling, and Deus Ex Machinas, and I'm not really one to enjoy being negative despite my dislike of this show. I just get pretty passionate/defensive about my opinions. Sorry.

TL;DR To those of you who enjoyed Build thoroughly, I'll say it again: I'm happy for you.

Honestly, I liked it a lot more than ex aid. They pulled a lot of questionable twists like least year meme lord Dan to the 2 rogue this year making serious and awkward characters in to comedy relief. The queen of mars and blood race needed more backstory if they wanted to go that direction especially with the constant on/off Evolt/Banjo connection. From the very start I always wanted Shouichi actor to have more screen time being the real pretentious prick father then the ending would be a great emotional fight. It's good fight, but should Evolt be reverted back to his base form and how does build keep up. The movie and zio tie in again ruined the last quarter of the story for me.
