Finally took me awhile to watch the first ep, and I like it. The opening theme is what really caught me because of her being that certain singer with a beautiful voice. @__@

I like thee mecha designs. The main mecha reminds me a lot about the Valkyrie units from Macross Frontier, seeing how it's transformable. When it was in jet fighter mode on standby, it really reminds me a lot about the Union Flag mechas from Gundam 00. When it transforms into robot mode, the transformation heavily reminds me of the transformation/configuration of Machine Emporer Wisel from Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's! Don't want to say this whole thing isn a ripoff, but I like the references getting to me.

Onto the next episode...when I have time! Lol

A also enjoy the mecha designs in this show. Not to mention, Lan is really hot :3
It was decent, but I was expecting something better. I guess I'll see how I feel about it throughout the rest of season.

Strange, although there are some similarities with in protagonist with Symphogear for some reason this girl is quite more likeable. Although she seems like she's as naive she actually gives me the impression that's she's just social, funny, adventurous and an adrenaline junky and not really just silly and slightly idiotic.

As about plot? Well for that we will have to see as the show goes on.
I like the artwork style. Especially the environment around the characters.

I'm amused at the haters whining about the imperfections, stereotypes, the lack of "real" mecha and weapons, service, etc. ad nauseum.

Hey, it's better than having a dozen emotional whiner kid pilots!

5/5, and if every anime were to be a candy bar, this one's Belgian chocolate written all over it, and I'm enjoying every bite!
I play, the haters lose.

Well..
Animation: excellent
Op and Ed: very nice
Main character: likeable
mecha suplex: +1
Ass: +1
Story: ... its like watching a pilot version of an anime, looks good, but i doesnt make sense.
Lets see next episode...

So what about aquarion evol? is more or less the same to this? im interested only because it has kana hanazawa in it, any opinions?

PD: needs Homu Homu

A little fanservice, a little plot, a little about the characters, things are looking good for starters. The suplex was a nice touch though, a bonus point for that. 4/5.

Oh boy, that was cliche and generic as can be.

Fanservice might be what keeps me watching though.

Didn't think I was even going to watch this but glad I did. Watching it ended up being a really enjoyable experience. Don't know why but it was pretty relaxing, maybe the color palette? Regardless, even while the battle was going on I felt quite calm.

Funny thing is out of all the characters introduced none of them rubbed me the wrong way which is kind of rare in and of itself, maybe that also has something to do with me liking it.

The cast did seem a little odd, though. All the bad guys are male and a lot of the people on the other side, like school, are female? Weird. What is this, a battle of the sexes?

Well, anyways, not sure I can say the episode itself was really all that special. Didn't really see anything that I haven't many times before, really, but it was still fun to watch and I really did like it so will be happy to keep going with it.

Ehhh...looks like a rather generic robot show. I'll give this a few more episodes at least.

WOW!

Did you see how cleanly Mamiko Noto stripped off Madoka's track pants along with a side of her panty!?
She is definitely the most powerful character in this anime.

Wow this show is great! I don't usually watch mecha but I just have to give this a try. Good animation quality and a happy likable main character.

Reasons why I still want to watch it:
Lacks a cliche whiny, moralfag shounen protagonist coward.

Pretty good first episode, although Madoka was a bit too naive what with just following a girl she just met into a helicopter and all lol.

The animation was pretty sweet. although the video quality I watched in was really poor. What a shame! *sigh*

PERFECT! Fresh start. Madoka is an energetic individual. I love her expression.~ The mecha type seems off with the series but let's see how it is done.

I'll see how this turn out. I'm not fond of Fanservice but they weren't that much present in an annoying way so it's fine. I really liked the animation. The main Character is fun to follow and really likable. I'm not expecting an extraordinary plot but we'll see ! ;)
All depends if everything is mixed well together in other episode !

But... the name 'Robot' sounds kinda lame = =|

THIS ! Yes. Exactly what I tought when I heard it lol

Blackbird said:
Kiddy Grade was fun and entertaiment, my favorite character is Eclair there, haven't finish off watching this yet but don't think it beat Kiddy Grade.

Newest series hardly beat any old series :)

That we will see when the series end ! =) I'm not a big fan of Kiddy Grabe but it was decent.
This show gives me more a feeling of 'To Aru Kagaku no Railgun' Similar mix of Fanservice, Comedy, Shoujo, Action and Sci-Fi.
I guess this could also apply to Kiddy Grade lol...



if it wasn't for the fan service these animes would flop

That OP is so chill, has a feel good sensation about it and is easy on the eyes. Pretty cool start. Not so much that it did anything I haven't seen already, but the atmosphere felt different. I like optimistic and bright characters like Madoka and I just love that mix of positive energy and humor (the robot/alien remarks cracked me up). Reminds me a bit of Strike Witches and Vividred and I can see why they make up a trio of sorts. Enjoying this as much as the other two so far.

Madoka is so likable :D

The pilots I assume will only be girls while the invaders are guys. Hmm...

Visuals are nice, the MC is likable, but we'll have to see how the plot works out cause right now it seems very typical.

Such picturesque and stunning scenery. Can't fault this anime's visuals so far, so let's see if they hold up in the next few episodes.

On the other hand, not sure what's up with Youko. Whatever the context or motive was for her trying to remove Madoka's panties is lost on me.
