Nonomi is just about the most adorable thing in anime. I have a huge soft spot for kids when they sleep because they aren't annoying then. Her dozing off is just so cute!!!

I have a a feeling that I missed a prequel or something. I feel like I got a ton of characters and random happenings dropped on me. Who were the people killed by that chopper?

What an awful first episode. The action was incredibly boring, the cast was confusing and it didn't give us any time to assign any value to them whatsoever, they might as well be robots. I have a lack of anything to say other than how dull and confusing this was, it felt like nothing of value happened apart from setting up the premise and vaguely explaining the concept of PBE's(big black hole creating deadly war weapon that's powered by little kids staring into it). I have so many questions that I have a sneaking suspicion will never be answered. Seriously, one of the least gripping first episodes I've seen.

With only 12 episodes I can't say I expect alot from this tbh, but I'm curious about it since it was one of the influences of Muv-Luv Alternative and by that extend Fafner.

There's already plenty of similarities I could point out, the cosmic horror alien threat, the child soldiers, the Esperanto like psychic children with some type of connection to the alien threat, whether genetically engineered or not.

The first 10 mins were just a great cold opening, sadly I don't think this will be fully focused on the war aspect of this show which is a massive shame tbh.

The show started very confusing, they put a start already in a battle instead of introducing the characters, it ends up that you don't understand anything of what is happening. The characters weren't introduced so you don't feel anything about them, perhaps the most adorable is Nonomi. As the world wasn't introduced I just watched this episode on fuck it, and it all sounded kind of dull.

PT-BR
O show começou muito confuso, eles colocaram um início já em uma batalha na vez de apresentar os personagens, acaba que você não entende nada do que está acontecendo. Os personagens não foram introduzidos logo você não sente nada sobre eles, talvez a mais adorável seja a Nonomi.Como o mundo não foi introduzido eu só fui assistindo esse episodio no foda-se,e tudo soou meio maçante.
