Who killed Pages this time? ... [you] did!

I never got through any of the DanSen anime either. Only the games.

I think Gundam Boyfriends and 00 had the same writer if I'm not mistaken.

They do.

 

[megumi]

I never watched Wing, I'd heard it was good though.

The plot... is more Heero's angst 90% of the time. And the second half did get a little confusing, but I was marathoning it back then, so who knows.

I really need to rewatch it.

Explains why Gundam Boyfriends is so good.

And well, just the concept of gundam boyfriends is a nice refreshing take on... well gundam, which is always... purple explosions and dead people and angst and romantic relationships that either go horribly wrong or has some sort of god awful backstory. Or just the general burden of war.

Gundam Boyfriends doesn't have that burden of war. It is so much more lighthearted and is a nerd fest, because who doesn't want a custom painted Kyrios or Unicorn Gundam. Or see a custom-built Strike pitted up against a custom-built Exia. Or just see the protags win a world championship with a Strike build of all things. OF ALL THINGS. The STRIKE.

Also, a fun fact about Gundam Boyfriends and oo S2:

• Units from Season 2 of Gundam 00 could not be used in Build Fighters due to an agreement between Sunrise and MBS (the station that aired season 2) stating that they could not use units from shows airing less than five years from the show's airing. The final episode of 00's second season aired March 29, 2009, five years and two days before this episode's first airing on March 31, 2014, allowing Yuki's Exia to be fixed as a nod to the GN-001RE Gundam Exia Repair

But 00 mechs were kind of rare throughout Boyfriends anyway.
