The King of Cuck (Past, present and future).
This is the homage Bizon expects from us.
>>14884717
my idol
>>14884717
Bizon was an idiot, but many people would have gone insane for much less. Hina was wondrously cute.
Still, I can not side with him. His problem is that he never realized that Hina had put him in the Friendzone even before the arrival of Aoba.
Hina is love
I don't care what anyone says, Buddy Complex was great. If it had came out in 2004 it would've been a massive hit & beloved series.
>>14884857
if it didn't try to wrap everything up in two episodes I would've rated it higher than above average.
>>14884863
It was originally slated for a full second season, then Sunrise cut it down because they wanted to shove studio 8 back in the aidoru dungeon to siphon more cash out of them.
The most talented team Sunrise has, and they get stuck making Love Live.
>>14884877
sasuga sunrise
>>14884857
I agree.
>>14884742
>that one doujin
goddamn it i just fapped too
Buddy Complex really deserved an S2
>>14884877
>It was originally slated for a full second season
The whole project is born only to publicize a phone game. Sunrise has never really thought to give us a second season. Moreover, even with advertising Sunrise has not exploited it.
In the end it's only a demonstration of style and professionalism of Studio 8, but the study is already very reputed to be the one that completes every "mission" effectively.
>>14884900
>literally founded an empire of butthurt
Best villain.
>>14884857
Had some really good characters and even the enemies had some above average intelligence and didn't try to brute force everything not to mention telling his own men to pull back when shit looked grim. Everybody that was a mustache twirling retard rarely lived past 2 episodes
I really liked even the character design, it had clearly much of Love Live for certain things, but with good costant quality.
>>14884742
I want to connective Hina.
>>14885009
>Everybody that was a mustache twirling retard rarely lived past 2 episodes
Well, it suck a bit that Bizon become this kind of villan. If he had became a Char with hisown agenda, or an honorable enemy who although hating Aoba, but does not lower to certain idiocies, would be better. Establish an empire only on butthurt is really something so tragic-comic, which I could not help but applaud when they BTFO him for the second time.
In retrospect, however, they sabotage the character for close the story more easily.
>>14885028
What was there to sabotage?
He was always weirdly obsessed with Hina, his ensuing hatred of Aoba and madness that resulted from it is a logical conclusion of that obsession.
>>14885031
Yes, you are right, but I would have preferred if it was not so easy.
It would be cool if the spin-off manga gets scanlated someday, didn't the one anon storytelling it vanish a while back?
it really baffles me how hina just abandoned her people and her family that she knew basically all her life, for some stranger that she doesn't even remember.
This is so unrealistic, not even cats do this.
>>14884919
If only they had slapped Gundam in the title, the plamo would have sold well enough to incentivize a second season without relying on a mobile game.
>>14884857
I really liked it, too. I went in expecting to drop it after a few episodes, but it was great.
>>14885040
Hina was cute but yes... she was an idiot character. It would have made more sense if she had done this after recovered all her memories, even those of the first loop, when she was the pilot of the Luxon.
>>14885040
This is why I like the character design. Simple, but nice.
>>14885020
Anyone still have that link that had all the pictures from the mobile game?

>>14885040
I liked Hina and her great voice, but Mayuka deserved more.
>>14884877
>The most talented team Sunrise has, and they get stuck making Love Live.
But that's not studio 1
Why didn't he just find another girl?
>>14885174
It's not like studio 1 actually does anything these days. Beyond a couple of Gundam-related things, their recent output is nonexistent.
And really, who the fuck cares about Gundam?

Well, I suppose there is not much else to say about this show apart Bizon meme. Despite its simplicity, I loved it.

MJP was an experimental mostly-original story just using very basic elements from the manga series it was based off of. And only when it turned out to be sufficiently successful did they start tying in the manga to the anime via cameos.

Thing is, there weren't even very many kits to begin with.
>>14888172
There are no kits, not even one, and they were not been planned from the beginning. Buddy Complex was created solely to promote a phone game. Nothing more.
The only kit, the Luxion, showed up in Dengeki hobby was never released.

Aoba was all about "MUH hina" and dio was all about "MUH imouto" so there was no room for homolust

There was a central het romance with closure. Hell, the show was so het the main antagonist was propelled by cuck angst.

Fuck it! I'm gonna download the BDs and rewatch it. Miles better than all the other shit this season has to offer.
letsu coupling!
MUHHHHHHHHHHHHH Hina
>>14899685
Okay, just rewatched the first episode. What a great intro to a series.
>>14900474
Unfortunately the best Hina is virtually replaced by an inferior version of herself. Aoba too comes out pretty likable in the first episode.
There needs to be more Saori Hayami in /m/ stuff
>>14901632
Hina with her top tier design was so much wasted in Buddy Complex and Aila is equally wasted since now Builder Fighters is no longer about Sei and Reiji, but a bunch of boring faggots.
>>14897936
Only the name was gay, and you could also argue that Dio was kind of gay for Aoba by the end. The thing is, Aoba didn't give a single shit, romantically, about anyone except for Hina.
>>14884857
It always seemed more like a VN to me with the different heroines being different routes. I still liked it.
>>14884717
master cuck
>>14905127
Why /m is so triggered by cuck characters?
>>14887316
No the MJP manga was a tie-in. The anime was conceived before the manga was published and has been in production for four years before broadcast. Hence the manga is side story to the main storyline of the anime. This why we see the anime Team Rabbits in the manga twice in the press conference with the manga Team Rabbits watching and the demonstration in anime seen from the audience side. Manga Izuru had his cameo during the Klein attack to the academy.
Manga Team Rabbit is different from the Anime Team Rabbits as they do not have a Asagi in their but he does exist and they are a different control group given they weren't memory wiped.
>>14905230
they're funny
Rewatched the whole show. Still holds up. But you can really see how the pacing accelerates after episode 10. The last 5 episodes have almost no downtime.
> Holy shit, a Buddy Complex thread!
Haven't seen one of these in a good long while.
>>14909919
Buddy Complex is good
So how come time travel sometimes sends them as-is, but other times seems to de-age them? I just don't understand how it works in this show.
>>14909980
Sincerely, i like buddy complex, but the Time travel was a mess. It would have been better if the story had begun with the first loop only.
Hina save Aoba with the Luxion (fist loop) and Aoba reaches the future inside that mecha. Hina is missing. She has not become a child, she has just lost her memory because of some time jump stress and ended up in some part of Zogilia where she is enrolled herself in the army ,in a mirror way to Aoba.
The rest of the story is the same. This also serves to justify the Hina escape. If she has lived all her life as a soldier of Zogilia, drop everything for unclear reasons is not credibie.
Still a very nice show with excellent visual. I love their air battles.
>>14911282
>drop everything for unclear reasons is not credibie
I don't know man. Getting told your whole life is a lie from your "father" on his deathbed and then getting drugged and forced to pilot the machine that messes with your brainwaves against your will, while the enemy pilot, who behaves more like an ally than your supposed allies, saves you from dying, lets you escape to your comrades and tells you he knows part of your real past, that sounds like reason enough in my opinion.
>>14911559
>I don't know man. Getting told your whole life is a lie
It was not a lie in first place. Hina was a little girl when she was adopted and then lived many years in Zogilia. If it was a month, it would be one thing, but she lived years.
And that life was not fake.
>>14884857
I love it too anon.

I liked her red pilot suit more. The black one has a stupid helmet and it's annoying that she remains with that, until the end. For the last two episodes would have been nice if they had given her the Federation suit that she wearing in the first loop.

Actually, the Mobage expands Fromm's backstory. He was an orphan at the orphanage that Wilheim Hann began his experimentation on in Zogilia when he first sought refuge from the federation. Lives were lost from said experimentation and Fromm made it a personal goal to end Hann, going as far as faking papers to seek refuge in the Federation to join the armed forces and qualify as a Coupling PIlot, linking to his and Dio's shared past. There were 2 or 3 more coupler pilots from that orphanage, being I think...Olivia, Dine, and Tila as seen in >>14887765

>Federation attempts to copy/mass produce Aoba's coupling pattern, system goes berzerk and it's implied that Aoba and Dio are MIA from the experiment. Ichijou Haku, the manga protag, gains a mutating coupling pattern due to exposure and is rescued by Hina.

>>14976029
Let's put it this way, with two episodes they could not do better. That said, another twelve episodes would be better. I would especially like to see the first Hina loop with Dio.
>>14976080
but Dio is gay
>>14976460
Nah...
>>14975885
Do it. It wraps the story nicely even though you can feel all the jumps they had to do for it.
>>14976537
Yeah... Dio love Aoba
Am I the only person with the view that the writers had obviously thought "Yeah, the fangirls will slash Dio and Aoba, so let's make it easy for them" with all the "Nice Coupling" business? I figured the writers knew exactly what they were doing with that.
