I'm not gonna lie but this show was made and marketed to sell more Gunpla toys, but that doesn't necessarily mean it is a bad thing. The story itself is nothing to marvel at as it follows a youngsters who was inspired to build Gunpla models after witnessing the life sized Mobile Suit Gundam erected in Odaiba years ago. Later, they discover the existence of 'Gunpla Battles' an arcade mobile suit simulator that allows people to drive their own personal Gunpla models in heated battle. The show does however draw homages from previous Gundam series and parodies in a sort of way that makes it enjoyable.The show allows many breath taking opportunities for Mock Mobile Suit battles as it is not set in any Gundam timeline. Many hardcore fans will be satisfied with the epic fight sequences between mechs of different timelines and be pleasantly amused by Customised Gunpla that can be easily crafted in real life.
It also adds realistic elements to the battle sequences as certain faults could be made by Gunpla Builders when they handle the Gunpla parts. These mistakes are critical to Gunpla battles and also suggests the theme that:
'Gunpla is not simply following instructions, builders have to handle the parts carefully and through care and hardwork can a person build a perfect Gunpla'
My only quarrel with the show is that it was too short as a few more episodes would not have been a chore.
