History YMMV / GundamBuildFightersTry

** The hilariously-titled "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-2DWoSo1Stk Sorry, everyone; I forgot how may times it was already]]" doesn't say much in its title, but the Guitar solo at the beginning will remind listeners that it's actually another awesome Meijin theme, albeit with the fast Flamenco vibe traded in for a slower, yet more hard-hitting beats, and a surprise [[OminousLatinChanting Ominous]] ''[[GratuitousForeignLanguage Spanish]]'' [[OminousLatinChanting Chanting]] shoehorned in for good measure.

** Speaking of future HG releases, Shimon's "Team Snapfit" included a HG Jet Windam, which didn't exist at the time - not only is it confirmed for a 2020 release, it's based on the new "Fine Build" system, with a deliberately simplified structure similar to the HG Leo and ''Toys/ThirtyMinuteMissions'', meant to cater to the "snapfit" crowd.

** Gyanko's wingmen get new mechs in ''Island Wars'' that immediately drew negative attention for being obvious shilling of the new HG Revive [[Anime/MobileSuitGuyndamSeedDestiny Force Impulse Gundam]], which you'd have to get two of ''and then repaint'' to replicate. Fast forward to ''Anime/GundamBuildDivers'', and ''two recolored Impulse Gundams'' join the lineup in the last quarter (driven by a main character's wingmen to boot!)

* EarWorm: Fumina and Sekai singing "[[Anime/MobileSuitGundamZZ Anime Ja Nai]]" in the car in Episode 11.

** VindicatedByHistory: Though with the release of ''Anime/GundamBuildDivers'', the criticisms towards ''Try'' have been slightly reduced to some extent.

** What also doesn't help is the perception that since both shows are running at the same time, that means resources are being split between them. They even have the same voice actor for both their respective {{Char Clone}}s[[labelnote:*]]For clarification, Takuya Satou (the seiyuu for Tatsuya Yuuki/Meijin Kawaguchi III in the prequel) not only returned to ''Try'' for the same role, but he also landed the role of ''Reconguista's'' Luin "Mask" Lee, that show's equivalent. That means if either series suffers a drop in quality, fans of one series will immediately blame the other for "stealing" it from them.

** Female example: Thanks to Shia's statement to Fumina[[labelnote:Quote here]]"With you, I think I can have a great battle..." in Episode 18, fans see their dynamic as akin to that of the aforementioned Sekai/Wilfrid crack pairing.

** [[Anime/MobileFighterGGundam DOMOn]][[labelnote:Explanation]]Since the [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam DOM]] is built [[{{Pun}} ON]] to the Build Burning Gundam, fans had put two to two together to recreate Domon's name in this way.[[/labelnote]]

** [[CoolBigSis The Age of Onee-san]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]Mirai Kamiki, Sekai's CoolBigSis has garnered a lot of attention from people ''on both sides of the fourth wall''. And the fact that supposedly, Tomino once stated in one of his most recent interviews that he did not like the recent trend of cute little sisters in anime/manga and wants to make Cool Big Sisters big again. Coupled with the concurrent running of [[Anime/GundamReconguistaInG Gundam Reconguista In G]], which features another CoolBigSis in Aida Reyhunton, one can't help but to speculate that these shows will usher their resurgence in the Anime scene.[[/labelnote]]
** [[http://www.reddit.com/r/OneTrueMeijin The ''real'' Gundam Jesus]] has arrived! [[labelnote:Explanation]] Toward the end of episode 11, the Amazing Red Warrior descended from a hole in the clouds down toward the battlefield, wrapped in sunlight and with its palms held out. To top it all off, the sunlight from his appearance causes a plant to bloom anew.[[/labelnote]] People quickly drew parallels with a certain religious figure, while some fans have immediately declared Meijin to be this instead of [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEED Kira Yamato]]. Has also caused a bit of a FandomRivalry with fans of ''LightNovel/TheIrregularAtMagicHighSchool'', as the male lead character shares his first name, AND is a very divisive Marty Stu.

** Jigged Hash [[labelnote:Explanation]]The Amazon page for the Build Burning Gundam plamo kit states that it reflects the [[TranslationTrainWreck "Jigged Hash Keno style of fighting employed by Esaki Amici"]] [sic]

* FandomRivalry: Surprisingly with franchise stablemate ''Anime/GundamReconguistaInG''. For the first time, two Gundam shows began airing on the very same Anime season[[labelnote:Clarification]]''Reconguista'' aired its pilot episode a full week before ''Try'', so naturally there are arguments over which is better.

** Junya Has Lost His Way. [[labelnote:Explanation]]The similarity of Junya's haircut to that of [[Anime/KillLaKill Satsuki Kiryuin's]] hair post ImportantHaircut has not gone unnoticed. Combine this with his backstory about leaving the Jigen Haoh school, Sekai trying to reach him though his fists with the already memetic song from ''Anime/KillLaKill'' and you get said meme.

** The Star Winning Gundam experienced a GIGANTIC surge in popularity after it debuted its Real Mode. The number of people who have declared it their favorite Gunpla in the whole series is ''mind-bogglingly'' high. A lot of fans were disappointed that Fumina went from the heavily-armed Powered GM Cardigan to a [[RealWomenDontWearDresses cute]] support SD Winning Gundam. Surprisingly, this turned into a ''plot point'' in the story as well(she was allowing herself to be overshadowed by Sekai's talent and Yuuma's skill), with the Star Winning's real mode being an indication of Fumina's growth as a fighter and member of Team Try Fighters in her own right.[[/labelnote]]

*** To a lesser extent: [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamCharsCounterattack Je]][[Anime/MobileSuitGundamUnicorn gan]] How're You?!

** UncannyValley: Just about '''''every''''' real-life release of an MS Girl kit, notably the face decals. [[note]]Unless you're a professional modeler that knows how to do a good make-over on the figure's faces.[[/note]]

* AmericansHateTingle: Surprisingly true to the trope, The mecha girl Gunpla (HGBF Super Fumina, Chinagguy, Hyper Gyanko & [[spoiler:Miss Loheng-Rinko]] and their variants) and dozens of Petitgguy variants have caused this have sold well in Japan, but many of the foreign builders still regard those kits as the black sheep of the Gunpla lines, which the fans believed that Bandai opted making those variants instead of producing ''actual'' kits of their fan favorite non-''Build Fighters'' Mobile Suits and make the hobby look bad to outsiders.

* InternetBackdraft: Mostly because of the MS Girls Gunplas (Super Fumina Chinagguy, Hyper Gyanko & Miss Loheng-Rinko). [[BrokenBase While the kits are sold well in Japan]], [=Some/Most=] of the non-Japanese foreign builders still regard those kits as a "poor man's attempt of Frame Arm Girls", and the black sheep of the Gunpla lines, which the fans believed that Bandai would aim for making those instead of producing "''actual''" Gunpla kits.

* PanderingToTheBase / [[TropesAreTools Tropes Are Not Bad]]: The staff asked fans which Mobile Suit they would like to see in the show and made a list of all the suits that they could possibly add in. The winner turned out to be the Xi Gundam of ''[[Literature/MobileSuitGundamHathawaysFlash Hathaway's Flash]]''.
** Being made by the creator of 00, he makes sure to let his own Gundam Series get plenty of spotlight, overness, and attention. Rivaling even the UC in references and prominent appearances.

* ItsPopularNowItSucks: The Petitgguy variants, what do you expect?
* LauncherOfAThousandShips: As shown in the other shipping-related tropes on this page, Sekai is the focus of many of the fandom's ships.

* ContestedSequel: Opinions are split on whether or not Try is just as good as the first season or doesn't live up to its predecessor. See Tough Act to Follow below.

* ToughActToFollow: ''Anime/GundamBuildFighters'' being so well-received means that some fans and reviewers are tougher on ''Try'' than they would otherwise be.
** The biggest complaint so far seems to be how ''Try'' is putting more focus on the qualifying battles compared to the original which quickly breezed through the qualifiers and spent more time developing characters who would later appear making fans feel as if interesting characters are being wasted in the qualifiers instead of being saved for the nationals.
** As the show is approaching its final 6 or so episodes, some of the complaints are mirroring those of the ones ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamZZ'' got compared to ''Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam''[[note]]At least during ''ZZ'''s initial episodes - ''Zeta'' fans don't really complain about its [[DarkerAndEdgier second half]][[/note]], in that it feels completely different to the previous show and that it's not a worthy sequel compared to the previous one.
