Gundam Build Metaverse Anime Releases 2nd Teaser Clip!
Bandai Namco Filmworks has released an exciting second teaser and key art for the new Gundam Build Metaverse Anime. Check out the clip and the show description below and share your thoughts with us in the comments. This 3-episode anime will stream on the Gundam franchise’s official YouTube channel and on Gundam.info’s YouTube channel in October.
The new story is set in an online metaverse space where users can use avatars to move around and interact with other users, including conducting Gunpla (Gundam plastic model) battles with them. The story centers on Rio Hōjō, a boy who lives in Hawaii, and who learns how to build Gunpla from a local hobbyist named Seria Urutsuki. In the metaverse, a figure known as Mask Lady teaches him the art of Gunpla battling, and he strives to get better at it every day. With his custom Lah Gundam, he seeks out ever stronger opponents. (Rio customizes an Entry Grade RX-78-2 Gundam model in the image of the “spirit of Japan,” with Lah being the native Hawaiian word for “sun.”)
