Crusader Quest.... we need more bread!!!

Another pixel RPG

Another day another finding, this time an RPG called Crusader Quest. If you ever play Faraway Kingdom then you will notice the art design resemblance, i don't know if it from the same person or they take the reference from there but, i like it.

Million chain.... not english but very easy to play

That's one character design that i rarely see

Million chain, i stumbled upon this when i was browsing japan appstore. In short its "connect a panel/dot" style of game, its simple and really easy to understand, the art is nice, character art is mixed feeling however(there is reason for this however) and don't let the language let you down, this game is manageable even with zero knowledge of Japanese language.

Gundam Build Fighter Try.... I'm not feeling it so far.

Never in my head i can think a team called Try Fighters

I was so happy when GBF got their season two announced, a solid gundam fight yet not political war stuff. But, for this series after 8 episodes.... I'm not going to lie, i don't feel it, when i watched GBF for the 1st time it was awesome, the "fuck yeah" moment when the insert song start playing then sei and reiji start kicking ass with their gundam, that was a great moment when i watched it.

Maybe because when i watch GBF at that time i have really low expectation, it only "clicked" for me after episode 2, then after episode 6 i put it on my must watch list immediately, that was 1 of the most intense fight i ever seen. It caught me by surprise how serious the design/animator team doing considering the whole point of this series is to promote gunpla merchandise, when TRY came out i cant wait for that moment again, but sadly it didn't happen so far until now, maybe because this time i got high expectation or.....

TRY is not a bad series by long margin, the fight is good, mech design is great (i like the SRSC gundam design), the quality also look sharper for me, humor is there but, i cant shake this feeling that bandai trying too hard for this. And it especially shown when they fought destiny gundam, i cant help but notice how similar the "feeling" at the destiny scene just like how sei face off with ricardo back in GBF even complete with the "why i must do this" motivational speech, it irks me in some way. And then there is this "finisher" thingy, just like in GBF where every little bit is build knuckle this build knuckle that, in TRY its jigen hao arts everywhere, i know its lighthearted show but shouting jigen haoh arts every episode?i hope it change in the future. I also found the way they introduced the TRY team in the tournament is kinda lacking, back in GBF sei and reiji really pull it off surprising everyone showing what their gundam can do, in TRY its also the same but for me somehow it has less impact, maybe because minato is the only who surprised? or because they just show him not everyone else resulting in less awesome moment? i don't know.

Another thing is i like the character from season 1, sei, reiji, ricardo, mao, nils, aila and so on, there many likeable characters in season 1. In TRY..... not so much so far, the trio main characters is fine although i often found sekai and yuuma banter is a bit dry, i have no idea whats the point of sekai big sister, she just "there" unless bandai had a hidden plan for her in the future, gyanko is... well actually her "family" got promoted, in GBF the "sazaki" got shafted pretty fast, in here they become quite likeable i say, ral still the same (which is good), adams and yuuki only appear in less than 10 seconds so it didn't count, and the rest is bland. I'm sure the sei and others will come out later but i really wish they appear early, right now everything seems "flat".
