Gundam Voice Actor Masashi Hirose Hospitalized

The Gundam Build Fighters Try anime's website announced on Wednesday that voice actor Masashi Hirose is being hospitalized for an extended stay, to treat an unspecified illness. The announcement offers a prayer for his quick recovery. His agency Production baobab posted a similar announcement.



In both Gundam Build Fighters and its Try sequel, Hirose plays the Gundam plastic model expert Ral-san — a name reference to arguably his most famous role, the pilot Ramba Ral in the first Mobile Suit Gundam series and movie trilogy. He also played Ramba Ral in many spinoff anime and game projects, as well as supporting roles in other Gundam projects. The Gundam Build Fighters Try website's announcement does not specify what will happen to Hirose's role in the anime, which will premiere on October 8.



In other anime, he played the sumo wrestler Rikishiman in the Kinnikuman franchise, Hideyoshi Ushiromiya in Umineko When They Cry, Soichi Ayukawa in Basquash!, Professor Tange in Honey and Clover, Kan Yu in Armored Trooper Votoms, Cole in Taiyou no Kiba Dougram, and Riku Dold III in One Piece.

Gundam Build Fighters Try second season coming soon with all new characters

Gundam Build Fighters is a popular Japanese anime cartoon that’s just about to begin its second season in October. What makes this anime different is its target audience. Most of the Gundam anime TV series have been traditionally aimed at teenagers since the series inception in 1979. Gundam Build Fighters is aimed at elementary school students. As such, this Gundam series doesn’t feature any violent space conflicts, but rather has kids piloting miniature Gundams in virtual reality arenas from popular previous Gundam series. The kids build their Gundams from models and then use the model in the virtual reality arenas.



The quality of their build determines how good their Gundam will be at fighting, and if their parts break when fighting, then they’ll have to repair them. This new season will add many different types of Gundams including (but not limited to), Burning Build Strike Gundam, Zeta Gundam, Lightning Gundam, and Winning Gundam. All of the Gundams in the show are based off of Gundams from other popular Gundam series. Sunrise Inc (the makers of the show) have not revealed too much about this season other than it takes place seven years after the first one and has three all new characters.



Hoshino Fumina is a third grader in junior high who wants to enter the Gunpla Battle Championships. The only problem is you need three people to form a team and enter the Gunpla Battle Championships. She’s also the only member of her schools Gunpla club.



She then is joined by a transfer student to her school, Kamiki Sekai, and a mysterious Gunpla builder Kousaka Yuuma. The three then form a team to enter the Gunpla Battle Championships. Other than that, not much is known about the show other than it’s in the same universe as the first show.

The official site for the Gundam Build Fighters anime series is today updated as that for the upcoming sequel Gundam Build Fighters Try with a key visual featuring the three main characters: Kamiki Sekai, Kousaka Yuuma, Hoshino Fumina, and main staff, voice cast, its story background.



The 25-episode 1st TV series was aired in Japan from October 7, 2013, to March 31, 2014. Thanks to the story featuring many popular mobile suits from the successive Gundam series, it pushed the sales of Bandai's Gunpla (Gundam model kits) greatly, so the expectation for the 2nd series is very high.



The story of Gundam Build Fighters Try is set 7 years after the end of the 1st series, when Iori Sei and Reiji won the 7th Gunpla Battle World Championships. Now Seiho Academy's Gunpla Battle Club has only one member, Hoshino Fumina, who is a third grade student in junior high. As the president of the club, she needs two more members to participate in the upcoming All-Japan Gunpla Battle Championships. Oneday she encounters a transfer student named Kamiki Sekai, who has traveled around for Kenpo training with his master. Then joining by a young Gunpla builder Kousaka Yuuma, their challenge to the Gunpla Battle begins....
