Gundam Build Divers

Gundam Build Divers is a Japanese science fiction anime television series produced by Sunrise, a spiritual successor to the 2013 anime Gundam Build Fighters, based on the long-running Gundam franchise. It is directed by Shinya Watada, written by Noboru Kimura, and features character designs by Juri Toida. The series premiered on all TXN network stations in Japan on April 3, 2018. Unlike the previous series, which focuses on the Gundam model (Gunpla) aspect of the franchise, Gundam Build Divers focuses on a virtual reality massively multiplayer online game in terms of themes and battles. Set in the near future where Gunpla is at its peak popularity, a new VRMMO game called Gunpla Battle Nexus Online (GBN) is created. Players upload themselves and their Gunpla online and battle with others worldwide. The story revolves around 14-year-old junior high school student Riku Mikami and his friends, who love Gunpla and play GBN. They meet a mysterious girl named Sarah and embark on adventures, facing various challenges and rivals. The series explores themes of virtual reality, friendship, competition, and growth.
