Mostly a world building episode introducing the key players of Ninteldo, history on Atarika, etc. Tejirof still saying some of the most odd lines (sticking something other than an arrow in your hole) and the fanservice still seems odd at times (talking about power then all of a sudden the girls loses clothes and beams of lights as they get caught up in the moment), though nice hotbath scene with Gear and Tejirof, so I guess it was alright. The mission to retrieve General Alex had quite a few good moments I think, wish Gear did more stuff though its only episode 2.

Alex is his dad, what? Opal should have fled and not fought the guy, no way she can win unless she truly mastered the shot ability.

It really does suck that we have to wait so long to get episode after episode. I really enjoyed it, the fanservice was nice too. Tejirof is one funny dude.

Crystal isn't Kirby, she is a reference of Final Fantasy.

Looks like Crimson changed this episode a bit in production, there are a thing that was planned to appear based on the preview in Episode 1 but it gonna appear in Episode 3 instead.

Too bad this series is only 3 episodes and it only covered the 1st arc (Sega Master System/Mark III arc).

Looks like there is a short OVA included on the Vol.1 of the DVD, I wonder what it is gonna be...

Quite a fun anime, I would've liked it to be just a bit more serious and slow paced thought... like that first episode, it really went too fast for Gear and Opal to become friends after that intro.. o_o
that tetris guys is funny.. and lol'd at Marcus.. x'D

So Gear is the son of General Alex, well played creators. Dunno what to think about this series so far, it's been good but a bit boring

I'm assuming the brothers are Bubble Bobble from Taito but I don't know who the rest are. Tattoland (sp?) is Taito and Elil is Enix or am I mistaken?

Hmm I was wodnering if Myomuto was Marth from FE Fame, but that makes far more sense. Now all we need to wait for is Sony and Microsoft to beat both sides down. But I rather liked this ep. Just hope it won't be so long of a wait for the Thrid.

...Tejirof is my spirit animal.
[He's hilarious. One of the reasons why I keep watching is because of the fact that he's a main character [supposedly]. I find his stick/hole quirkiness entertaining...and the analogies he makes with them actually make sense >o>]

Eh, I liked the backstory, but I feel like it should have just introduced that as a prologue at the beginning of #1 in a quicker fashion; this episode just seemed a little on the boring side, and with the end so close, it's not like there's too many places to go.

This series is really a mess with weird sexual assault happening all the time, out-of-place sexual things happening in general, and just like not very interesting "parodies" that are really just random references thrown in. Alex Kidd being Sonic's dad is sort of interesting. What's with the edgy absorb other people that are dying thing? I just don't care about any of this, but I'll watch the last episode.
