Are you talking about the Stars of Milos? I found the movie to be average at best. The characters were out of character and the plot was predictable, especially the final villain. In fact, I think the biggest issue with the movie is that it was flat out boring.

Build Fighters 04. God the dialogue in this show is so fucking bad, let's stand by a public toilet watching children in the park and dramatically think in my head 'so this is youth'.
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.

Dokidokie Precure episode 2.
Can I just say Cure Heart is the most loveable kawaii blonde magical girl I fell in love with?

Build Fighters 05.
That imagination battle had to be the very worst fight in the show, visually it was as impressive as ever - seriously this show is gorgeous, from insane lasers to beautiful robots - but from a narrative perspective it was mind blowing in the most stupid way possible. Still this episode articulated why I love collecting figures in a way I have never really been able to articulate before. I may not play with them like I did when I was a kid but when you buy something like Figuart with all that great detail and articulation it's so great. You can replicate your favourite scenes or simply create new ones. There is no feeling like it.

That's the one. Yeah, all in all I felt it was just kind of meh. Sort of felt like a rip off Ghibli film with an FMA paint job. This would have been fine but the film isn't so sure which it wants to be. Does it want to be an FMA film, or a knock off Ghibli film? I have no idea and neither does the movie. Say what you will about the 03 series but at least Conqueror of Shambala felt like a Fullmetal Alchemist movie. Ah well, at least Star of Milos isn't cannon in any way.

We all know that'd be Den-O anyway.

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. |

Yeah.

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.

![]() I get the device, but it's not a device I've ever much liked. I'd rather follow a character, rather than the absence of one you can wear.
