Gunpla Battle meets Ready Player One!
The premise of this brand new series is pretty straightforward: you scan a Gunpla and then control it in CGI battle using a VR headset and gauntlets (or a smartphone), with your entire body becoming the scanned Gunpla. The different parts of your anatomy direct the corresponding component of the virtual Gunpla - which is now life-sized thanks to VR-generating drones - and performance is reflected according to parameters such as build quality and damage.
Mechanics such as NT-D are also active in the live-action version of Gunpla Battle, as are iconic moves like Char's kick. Weapons are used the standard way here, although the protagonist used a customised version of the RX-78-2's Hyper Bazooka as a club.
This series looks fun to watch, looking forward to the various customised Real Grade Gunpla that is set to appear in subsequent episodes!
