| Izuru still talking about the hero thing in the interview XD A bit better than the first episode I love the animation , but I still can't stand the character design |
| It was an okay episode. The mechas' are getting uglier. The only good thing here is boobs. |
| A city's greatness is determined by the speed of its internet connection. |
| Yea..Fell asleep throughout this whole episode, that was pretty dull. 1/10 for this episode. |

| And here they say Valrave is better than MJP? The concept of Valrave is overused by Gundam Series now they include Code Geass? With Biting of Jojo Bizarre Adventures? WTHell. Anyway's I like this anime because it's unique in its way and also I like the author and character designer (Getbackers and Gundam Seed). Just need to respect the author and if you don't like it just drop it no more rants. |

Because Jojo invented vampires right? That comparison is terrible. Even though Valvrave is a Gundam clone, it's still more entertaining than this, at least to me. Episode was weak. Geez I wonder why they failed. |

| I liked this episode, I don't think I'll drop the show (now) ....but wow all that hate toward Majestic Prince =.= well that couldn't surprise me anymore |

Geez I wonder why they failed. Have you even watch those three series? geez I'm being sarcastic, you know they just changed the eyes to mouth, the protagonist is able to control?!? and Immortal. That's why I've compared Jojo to it, but you got hurt for unknown reason anyways, I'm both watching the series not dropping it because I love mecha. It's simple why you hate it, you don't like mecha comedy anime concept which is pretty unique. I'm sure it's going to be awesome it's something like Getbackers mediocre at the beginning. |

Nope. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=3CPK8P8bjvU BTW, I like this majestic prince show, for some reasons I turn off part of my brain when watching it(maybe because characters design). And when you enjoy something without thinking too hard about logic and stuff, you got pure entertainment. |

I feel like it isn't meant to be some super deep show, and if you start taking it too seriously then of course you won't like it. I honestly really liked the first episode but this one was just ok for me. The op was awesome and the interview scene ended up being the best part of the episode. Just. Kei being the only one who can coherently answer questions and Izuru's drawing and all of it. The battle (if you could call it that) was anticlimactic for sure, but I guess it was to show how inexperienced and unprepared they were? I just hope the next episode is better than this one. |
| This anime is quite horrible so far, but will watch some more ep's to see if it gets any better :/ |
 |
| After this episode I came to the conclusion that this isn't my kind of show. Don't really like the characters and the whole 'hero' stuff is kinda making me cringe. Droppu! |

| so... All humans has already got that "fight or flight" responds (that is something to do with adrenaline). And then, they match the mecha's DNA with the team so the robot will react exactly on that "fight or flight" respond. It's like a wild horse that the pilot has to tame it or the robots will go uncontrollable. I read someone ask why they still need a pilot in that robot here in this thread (to lazy to search it again and quote it, LOL). "Fight or flight" responds actually is a direct effect of hormonal system in our body. Giving DNA to a mecha doesn't make the mecha live by itself or have this automatic fight or flight respond. So, just a guessing, they only "infuse" the DNA to the mecha just to make it suitable to the pilots. The mecha still need the pilot because the mechanism of fight or flight only happens in a organism body. Now, they basically have to train their responds so they could control the enormous energy of the fight or flight respond -which is come from adrenaline, a trigger that make body release a lot of energy leading to a faster neural processing so an organism could survive from a dangerous threat. |
Waiting for next week anime gives me another reason to live. |
| Wow, the opening really does remind me of Gundam Seed! This one might be kinda the same as Gundam seed, i already see that the character are the same in both. Gundam Seed: Kira - Lacus(pink haired princess) Ginga Kikoutai Majestic Prince: Izuru - Theoria(white haired princess) |

Its not surprising that the science in this show is sub-par at best. What I was getting at when I asked "why do they need pilots" is that they actually do expect us to think that the mechs are in a way alive as told by the large-chested mechanic lady. And I presented earlier in the forum that fact that even if a machine is infused with DNA or some other such BS, that in no way makes it living. Yet, they clearly show that the mechs can react separately from their pilots, and that could be a for good or for bad. In one scene the mech called for a gun without the leader asking for one, but in another scene the mech completely froze and even jumped out the way, despite the pilots instructions. If the mechs are going to react on their own, why do they need pilots. It's really a stupid concept since the mech itself, that is supposed to protect and help its pilot actually works against it and gets him or her killed. They want them to "tame" their mechs, but why even go through that and instead just make regular mechs with a split-second response system? That way the mechs will have the "flight or fight response" courtesy and in full control of their pilots. |

| So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old? I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them? I wonder how long people would put up with this. As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series. |
| Major improvement over 1st episode. |

That way the mechs will have the "flight or fight response" courtesy and in full control of their pilots. Well, I think that's only natural for a mechanic to say that the mechs are in a way alive. I guess she doesn't mean that it could act on its own. I don't get the scene when the leader's mech ask for gun. What I got was that the gun is one part of the weapons (by weapons I mean including those armors that left behind in the base) which could be warmed up properly in time..so the gun was sent by the base to the pilot for it the only thing they can do while they're warming the other armors to counter the enemy's attack. And then, the other scene when the mech dodge the armor sent by the base... another guessing, the mech froze because that's actually the response of the pilot. Talk about the mental of a trainee when he's so nervous that he couldn't move.. Look at how he's shaken that he can't push the button. So, that's why they have to train their "fight or flight" response or else they will only do stupid things because the mechs do how the pilot would respond (even without their consciousness). Why would they use this uncontrollable mechanism? Maybe because "fight or flight" response releases a lot of energy like I posted earlier -the energy was so enormous that the mech was broken after their first fight. It seems that they hope when they can control this response, the mechs would be unbeatable (the first fight lighted their hope). What I get is the MJP is sort of experimental itself. They actually don't know whether their system would really work out; maybe just the commander and that white-haired girl who really know what's going on. But yeah, you could say it's stupid because the system's so risky. But, it's sci-fi. A good sci-fi that sticks to the science is rare. I am actually in doubt to keep in watching this show after ep 1 (sending trainees in a critical situation? come on...) But the second ep keeps me; now I want to know how far this show will keep me. |

| Something about this. I spend 20 minutes watching it, but I don't feel like anything happened. I remember the interview and then they all went in space with sponsors on their mechs. Then they were attacked randomly, and somehow go away. It was boring. |

| Other than the OP and the boobs this episode was okay but I kinda expected that. |
| still struggling to keep focused through all that still amazed at the mech designs |
 |
| Still normal but better than 1st episode. |

Why bother watching 1 or 2 more episodes if you're gonna drop it anyway? Are you expecting someone to change your mind after reading your comment? I don't get why people make this sorta comments. I watched Steins;gate first 5 episodes and was bored to hell with it. I mean, it had good characters and interesting idea, but nothing more. I wanted to drop it so badly. I rated it 9 in the end. Know why? Because stuff changed. When sh!t became real it became real. My expression was: "WOW! Is this the same show?". I never drop a show after less than 5 episodes, and if I do (very rarely), I simply remove it from my list, not put it on drop list, since I didn't watch enough to know if it's worth "tagging" as droppable. I don't expect anyone to change my mind, I just want to see if the show changes my mind. Steins;gate was one example, but certainly not the only one. I'm still giving this show benefit of a doubt, but I doubt it's going to get better, hence my comment. |
| It's an alright series so far, hopefully gets more interesting in the upcoming episodes. |
 |
| Yep they just went Tiger and Bunny. In T&B it makes sense but not here. Still love the fighting in this but we need some serious character development and depth. And then there's Reika who needs no more development..... Also the OP was great. |
 |
| Not great by any means, but I don't share in the critical views aimed towards this show so far. |
| Better than the first but the mechs really have a stupid way of working. They have an inner skeleton that has to go in an outside skeleton? that so stupid and inconvenient. Why shouldn't the whole thing be one unit? |
| Good Opening Song!!! The episode was pretty funny with all those logos that the sponsors had placed on the AHSMB machines. I like the head mechanic Reika Saionji as she seems to the comforting type of the team. I wonder how the members are going to react from all those comments. The mecha designs were pretty interesting so looking forward to seeing that in the next episode!! 5/5 |

I Agree. But no, some people just feel the need to rant about every little thing. I don't care i enjoyed this episode, anything that has to do with Mechas count me in...I guess i'm just kind of shallow like that. |

Please learn about cel animation and its technical process. Learn how special effects and backlighting were done without computers. |
| Better than the first episode. I love the mechas in this show. |
| "Perhaps there is a universal, absolute truth. Perhaps it justifies every question. But that's beyond the reach of these small hands." Mamoru Oshii There is a cult of ignorance (...) nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that “my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.” Isaac Asimov |
| Less good as the first episode but still pretty good and it sure has a nice pace! |
 |
| The aliens appear to have their own mechas, and they're similarly mobile to the MJP mechas, and leagues beyond the combative utility of their regular mooks. Amane mentioned earlier that they were just kids whose lives were "taken from them" for the sake of defending human space colonies, and it shows when you see them freezing up when faced with a calibre of foe they didn't anticipate. |
