| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- This turned out to be quite a serious show from the first episode. Got to see a few of the main characters and the ominous setting that takes places in. Not sure how I feel about the protagonist yet but he has an ordinary look but with a bit of a tragic past, at least shown from this episode. His poor family...I'm curious to see how the anime will develop him. Not bad overall. |
 |
| OK, a decent start, though the visuals by OLM Team Inoue will definitely reek in the kids' feel and heralded by veteran director Akihiro Hino who is the original creator of Danball Senki, Inazuma Eleven and Youkai Watch, shows made for kids. And also, since the anime comes out first, again, this is yet another promo material for Level-5's Megaton Musashi game to be released in Japan soon. A decent introduction as laid out in Crunchyroll's synopsis, though the main character Yamato Ichidaiji is not keen on being the "chosen one" of robots called "Rogue" to pilot and fight against aliens, and therein sets the setting for a world set to total destruction that these robots are made to save the world. If you still have an affinity for shows aimed at kids, then Megaton Musashi will do. |
 |
| Episode will be out after the TV version, so here's Episode 1 in complete RAWs (no subs): |
|
| Felt like a generic kids version Evangelion The story was pretty stale, with almost all the characters looking and sounding generic and boring. The first fight scene where the MC turns on the music and all of a sudden he gains super-strength was kind of corny as well. Looks like all the robot fights will be CG, which I understand, given the likely low budget for this show, but the transition from the regular animation felt pretty awkward. The flashback scene was well done and I enjoyed the animation during that scene, but that's about it for compliments. Watching for now, but it's on a short leash. |
| Subs are out! If you wanna watch it with MTL subs (which are pure bad) Will not link you to it, find it yourself by pronouncing "meow". And before you ask, neither CR nor Funi has it. Aliens are here to mind-control people, not destroy the town and eliminate their targets, and the town is fake? Sure doesn't seem like it. But for the MC Yamato Ichidaiji, that's how things started unravelling, one after another with fellow partner Ryuugo Hijikata and scientist Teru Asami (on the opposing side at first), all the way to the mechs. The moment where both Yamato and Ryuugo gets underway with the crux of understanding the fight against aliens and saving an Earth that has already been habituated by them, it's all artificial. To board the "Rogue" Mecha Megaton Musashi, that's their weapon, and infuse Yamato with his past, the fight starts for a lengthy battle against aliens with him, Ryuugo and Teru at the helm: 3 kids saving the world. Now with subs (even if it was MTL), hope this is a better understanding for these longer-than-usual episodes going forward. |

| I was pretty excited for this since I really liked the look of it, and I'm kinda just disappointed. I noticed that the animation is just kinda stiff and slow, and it's just kinda boring. Also what was that one scene where the girl was behind the main guy about to attack him?? There's no way she was so quiet he just was completely unaware of her following him, and I don't know about everyone else on here but personally when I'm walking down the street I'm always wary of whose around me and am constantly checking for people. I dunno, but scenes like that in anime just confuse me really. |
| Oi, this anime might be the dumb fun I was looking for. A weird mix of The Truman Show and Eva on the first episode? CGI that looks surprisingly decent? Street fights with robots? An entity that controls people from the shadows? Yeah, right up my alley. Never heard about the game though. |

| I really liked the music but everything else is mid, I'll watch some more but it's not one that I'll be looking forward to. |
| Pretty good first episode. The CGI looks like it was rendered in the game engine which will give it a unique look and feel. |
| Controversial opinions |
| aw poor Mina! And ...I know it didn't have a face per se, but it appeared to look down like 'yeah I stepped on her. now what?' |
| That one guy looking like Bellamy's lost twin. Mecha and aliens, feels like many anime this season are similar to each other. This could be pretty fun, tho. It's not convoluted and I like the art as well as the soundtrack. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| nice start so far, finally a mecha anime with memory transfer of knowledge (The Matrix style) instead of training |
| Totally forgot about this series for a month, lol Just watched episode 1, but... I already question this serie's plot... If the aliens already know where the human (Terran) shelters are... why don't they just instantly kill all of them instead of going 1-by-1 like assassins?... I am pretty sure if an Alien can wipe out 99.9% of humans, they can wipe out 0.01% of humans regardless if the humans have robots or not... hell, the Aliens have the tech to terraform the entire planet, they could make it so the planet kills off all humans by itself then re-terraform it back to habitable for the Aliens... Instead the Aliens waited for the Humans to finish building their Shelters and Robots before sending in the assault... lol (with just minor units no less... where's the motherships and giant robots they showed in MC's memory? couldn't the Aliens just send those straight from the sky right ontop of the shelter and instantly destroy it instead of having minor unitis move slowly toward the shelter?... lol?) Plus, if they can takeover other ppls mind like they did to that pretty girl... couldn't they just takeover someone that works in the control center and destroy the shelter from the inside? ___ ___ ___ BTW, did they do some sort of MIB mass population memory wipe to erase everyone's memories all at same time? else how did they move everyone into the shelters (that's also somehow made super fast) and erase their memories, it would take a LONG TIME to do it 1-by-1... and no one resisted? ___ ___ ___ Also, this is pretty much Japan version of "Pacific Rim", where multiple pilots controls a single Robot to fight against aliens. Plus, we also got another "Drill the Heaven" moment going on here from Gurren Lagann And the motive for revenge/ growth is MC's little sister getting foot-stomped (literally) by Aliens (another sibling killed for the plot) ___ ___ ___ And looks like this series is just for Mecha fans. All the budget is focused on the Robot fights, everything else is sub-par. |

| Nothing Written Here But Us Anime Bunnies *boing boing boing* |
| So, beyond the Nagai / Getter / 70s mecha and songs, we also have a Megazone starting point? Funny. 3/5 |
| I'm pretty sure this is the second gundam anime I've ever watched, and I mean it's okay I guess. At the very least I'm interested enough to check another episode, but not sure if I'm going to watch this one all the way through. The animation was pretty rough, and I don't really care for any of these characters |

| @Alkimia no this is a mecha show but not gundam |
| I started watching it due to its PV photo. No real other reason. I'm dropping it halfway through episode 1. As this either needs a prior understanding of an existing universe. (or equal) Or this is just that extremely confusing in pacing, storyline, and artistic execution. Not otherwise something I would find fault in. However, that is not a good trait to have for your episode one. 5/10 |
