Here's the trailer of the latest addition of the Gundam franchise called "Gundam Build Fighters". Just like it's predecessor Model Suit Gunpla Builders Beginning G, this show is focused on the popular GunPla model kits. The new series is set to premiere this October.
The story is set in the near future when GunPla Battles, competitions that pit Gundam plastic models against each other, have become popular worldwide in the "Second GunPla Boom."
1st year middle school student Sei Iori is the son of a model shop owner and is talented at building GunPla, but inexperienced in the GunPla Battles. After meeting the mysterious Reiji, an accomplished Gundam Fighter, they strive for the GunPla Battle world championships.
Because the series is focused on GunPla, above is the promo for this show's line of customized GunPla. In the show, Sei's customized GunPla is the Build Strike Gundam. Other GunPla seen in the GunPla promo are: Zaku Amazing and Wing Gundam Fenice and Gundam X Maou.
Keni Nagasaki (No. 6) is directing the series. Yousuke Kuroda (Gundam 00) is supervising the scripts with Kenichi Ohnuki (Mobile Suit Gundam Seed C.E.73: Stargazer) is designing the characters in collaboration with Suzuhito Yasuda (Durarara!!). The mecha designer roster includes Kunio Okawara, Junichi Akutsu, Junya Ishigaki, Kanetake Ebikawa, and Kenji Teraoka.
