| Still haven't gotten into this show yet, it feels like more of a chore to watch rather than enjoyable. I'm conflicted on whether to continue watching next week or just drop it. |

Antanaru said: It's kind of sad but many series from this season make Kusen look like an almost decent series... Damn boy, what you on? I feel like this is getting way to much hate for only being 3 eps in. I agree the episode wasn't great but it's not like it was complete garbage... It feels like this ep was just an "easy" way out to make Alfried (the perv guy) join Gus his team. |
| Cat Pigeons...just...wow The first episode was just the walking around the city doing basically nothing worth mentioning. Normally I dont have any problem with these kind of scenes if it helps to understand the characters...in this, unfortunately it doesn´t. It´s just pointless. Midway through the episode the creators probably thought: "hmm aren´t these things supposed to have this plot thingy? Let´s just throw in i psychopath obsessed with seeing the little girl´s poweres mkay?" "Guy´s Guyyyyyzzz i have like the best plan ever! I just played some Watch_Dogs and it was AWESOME!! So give the generic bad guy like powers u know like control traffic lights n shit" " and hey let´s make this guy from ´last episode..you know the one that was all badass n shit, guys lets make him a girl...Weebs like girls dont they?" "What if we make an actual plot with realistic character motivations, compelling villains and not let half of the episodes seem like filler?" "nah that´s just stupid" All in all this wasn´t a bad episode. But I certainly don´t expect this to become a masterpiece anytime soon. I just hope it will become better because the world and the characters so far don´t seem to be half bad. |
| Anime original everything, eh? Well they did a good job on the design and look of the city, and I really like the colour palette they're using. The OST is pleasant and unobtrusive and seems to fit the mood. This is a show that looks really good on the surface. The rest of it is a bit of a jumble--like what is the point of all this? Presumably the powerful quasi-military mining outfit that is after the red crystal/Felia wants it for some nefarious purpose, and that is why the mech pilot is assembling a team of psychopathic killers. At some point they might even show us why they are doing it--or maybe not, because it's not like everything has to hang together. Kaon, despite the fact that she is front and center in every episode, is still listed as a supporting character and she is probably the most attractive character in this whole thing. Actually I find the "escaping arranged marriage with narcissistic twit to find love with shota mc" subplot to be a lot more interesting than anything else going on here and I hope they keep up with it. As has been posted by others, this show doesn't seem to feel it has to offer much in terms of explanation or underlying reasons for what happens, coincidence and conveniently placed props (the inadequately fenced-off bottomless pit leading to Felia's crystal located in the middle of town, the rope-way gondola adjacent to the construction zone, the cake targeting the psychopathic lolicon computer hacker). I'll watch it for the scenery and Kaon, and hope that eventually the bakery lady and the mc's father get it on and we do a genre shift to an ecchi romance... |

Please don't feed the trolls! In my next life I want to collide at the corner with the cute transfer student carrying a piece of toast in her mouth...rodac |
| Well, its no Eureka 7. However, I do really like these family moments and will continue to return to this series for these moments. The dynamic between them all is just too cute. |

It feels like this ep was just an "easy" way out to make Alfried (the perv guy) join Gus his team. I think the same. I don't know why, often on MAL some arrive too early to definitive judgments, well everyone does as he wants in the end, but still... Also... I want a catpigeon ! |
| What do you think about the planetarium? That beautiful twinkling of eternity that will never fade, no matter when.... |
| Summary of episode 3: cat-pigeons |
| Well, that was some crazy shit when the random villain appeared. Literally random. Maybe we'll find out the motive later on, since we'll probably get to see more of him judging from the last scene. Way too early to judge a show just by this random appearance, like some people are doing right now. And besides, it's still the third episode. |
  |
| I found the first great episode mainly because it did not plan to see him when he was watching the list of what would launch this season, the second did not like him so much, that party thought pessimo, the characters not grown quite fond myself to any Felia may even be cute but annoy me a little Kaon did not like her from the beginning and not the kind of character that attracts me Sogo and mild short will stop following it might perhaps come back after a few episodes or when finished. |
| So instead of putting the guy that cause chaos in the city to jail, they take him into the team...okay that sound alright. Felia still cute as ever...love her voice. So that guy Gus is searching for people that can be use to fight against Felia...this is going to be dark, but mostly the epicness will start on episode 10 or 11 haha. Looking forward to it. |

hlubkoj2020 said: So instead of putting the guy that cause chaos in the city to jail, they take him into the team...okay that sound alright. Makes sense right. And it's also ok if you fail a mission to capture the target and trash on of the military mecha cuz you'll get a new one to play with without any scolding from above. |
|
| animation-wise is not that good.... perhaps because it's more focused on making the 3D CG for the robots. Story-wise... uhh... I don't even know what this story is about. So... a special powered girl, who is being hunted by some kind of military guy or something? Then teamed up with a kinda fabulous guy to capture this special girl? Also how did that pipsqueak even make a seal or contract on Sogo's hand? Is it because Sogo is the one who saw Felia first? Or what? Nothing really happened and nothing is really explained by the 3rd episode. |
 |
| This episode was a trainwreck. While the beginning was decent, the second half just sucked. The villain is ass, and I seriously don't know why he wants the loli. Its more disturbing than anything and I've seen No Game No Life's loli fanservice and Nisemonogatari's toothbrush scene. Also, Felia just seems to exist just to be cute and be a plot device. And besides, if wanted to see cute girls this season, I'd watch Yuru Yuri or Gochuumon, which don't feel incredibly jarring because the characters are in shows that perfectly suit them, where as in here it just feels tacky, because this is supposed to serious right? Cool psychic powers though and well, she CAN be funny when she's not obsessing over cat-birds or being a crybaby. This show went from childish to flat-out dumb and poorly written in just a single episode, which is downright shocking. 4/10 for this episode, not lower due to first half having a few times it admittedly made me chuckle. But at least this confirms the villain, so I guess that's another bonus. |

| The only real negative about this episode was the lack of explanation of what's going on or who Felia is. Clearly she's a person or thing of importance because so many people in or related to the government are looking for her. Contrary to popular belief, this episode was by no means terrible. It just needs to move the plot along. Why in the hell are people "assuming" these things about this bad guy, when it's blatantly obvious that we'll understand in due time. I suppose not many of you have heard of storytelling, and would rather have it thrown straight into your faces instead of waiting for it all to unfold. GG. Also, stop comparing this to Eureka Seven. Eureka was God awful. |
| this episode was pretty bad dude had that Tsukiyama hard on out of no where. show has been suffering from feeling to childish but last week was giving me some hope but now i just don't know anymore that and the characters seem so damn oblivious to everything around them |
 |
| If you hadn't enough of the annoyance because of pigeons and cats (mostly at nights), now we have cat pigeons. Dogs now will have a hard time :/ |
 |
| I still have no idea what's going on in this show. |
| That's it. I'm done. Unless I hear this took a major shift for the better, my patience is gone with this show. The characters have virtually no personality; the villains either have virtually no personality or are random contextless psychopaths; the plot is haphazard and still lacks context; there's just nothing here at all. Zip. Glasslip was better than this. I'm tempted to put it on the level of Mars of Destruction, except Mars of Destruction actually managed to be funny because of how bad it was. The highest points in this were just plain boring. rodac said: As has been posted by others, this show doesn't seem to feel it has to offer much in terms of explanation or underlying reasons for what happens, coincidence and conveniently placed props (the inadequately fenced-off bottomless pit leading to Felia's crystal located in the middle of town, the rope-way gondola adjacent to the construction zone, the cake targeting the psychopathic lolicon computer hacker).

This comment was more entertaining than the episode itself was. Thank you. |

Normally I dont have any problem with these kind of scenes if it helps to understand the characters...in this, unfortunately it doesn´t. It´s just pointless. I agree, I don't mind these types of scenes either when they are used effectively to show us more about the characters or interaction and relationship between characters. However this...this was literally just stills of them shopping and doing goofy things, we already saw enough of Kaon babying Felia and Felia being a baby in the last episode, we don't more of it. If the shopping trip and walking through the town made the characters less one dimensional I would be happy to watch it. |
| kaon and felia are so freaking cute!! |
| Ok episode. This show reminds me of Eureka Seven. |
| Dafaq, that villian came just from nowhere... at least the action secuences where nice to see. |
| Well Catpigeons are an interesting breed of bird and Felia's fascination with them was rather cute! Wonder how the group after Felia is going to use the creepy guy for their cause? Rather interesting episode, as we learned how Felia actually is the being that controls the air and everything on Gift. Seems like she is pretty important which is probably why people want to get their hands on her. Love Moura's little spats with Sougo! |
| So glad that I'm not a huge manga reader, because the manga readers WHINE WAY TOO MUCH and have to RUIN every adapted anime for the ANIME ONLY WATCHERS! |
| Oh here is the guy in the Opening song. He has an interest in Felia's power |
| Felia is so dumb ._. |

| Wow this show went straight dumpster fire harder than Plastic Memories. Also the brief explanation of Felia's existence, sure sounds familiar if you've played Rewrite.. |
 |
| What in the holy fuck was this episode? |
| Kind of strange, who was that pervert. A few instances of questionable physics and being in the right place at the right time. |
 |
| This show looks amazing. The CG wasn't half bad. I like how the city is designed but I would have to agree the random villain introduction with no motive besides being a pedophile lunatic, was quite stupid. |
| Man.. That guy with glasses is a hardcore weirdo lol Also, what is up with the Bird that meows? lol Anyways, the only thing that irritates me of this show is the "future romanctic" aspect that I believe the studio/manga/LN messed up in is the pairing of Felia/Sogo...If you look at it from a perspective, Felia acts like a child around 7-9 years old where they are barely comprehending the things around them and forcing a romance between her and Sogo... I mean, if it were Kaon/Sogo, I would not be fazed at all since they represent a mother and father to Felia, furthermore they have a vibe where they go together.. Overall, this is show is good, entertaining and some good ost's :D |
| What? Did the cable car's door just open with a push of a button while it is still in midair? I'm surprised how that machine managed to pass the safety checks. |
Ramiel00 said: Because you don't need to see more if a show fails so badly after just 3 episodes. You don't need to be a genius to recognize cliches or tropes and see where things are going when a series borders on retardation. I might as well ask why so many people are stupid enough to go halfway in a bad show and still claim that it can get better. This episode was garbage, it had no redeeming qualities aside from graphics. Directors and scriptwriter have a bad track record. What more do you need?Avenox said: Damn boy, what you on?

Ii tenki desu ne... |
| Who is the seiyuu for Felia? I want to commend her bravery for going full retard. |

| The villain really reminded me of Shuu Tsukiyama from Tokyo Ghoul... |

  |
| wow that train is amazing well the enemy was weird looking |
 |
| Apart from the background art and CGI porn, this was a weak episode. Very slapdash. The evil circle of writing for 1-cour shows really gut punches anime like these. Still, with the amount of conveniently rushed introduction to the world and characters, that must mean there's something worth the rushing lurking ahead. And it's still the only unique setting of the season. FedEX episode deluxe. |
 |
| I'm seriously bothered by the lack of concern towards Felia's real identity shown by the main characters. You would think that after experiencing the stuffs they saw on the underground cave, finding an unusual talking stone that can turn into a giant robot, witnessing Felia's powers, and then be told that Felia is basically the planet itself, the main characters would at least be alarmed. But no, they just go about their day not even bothering to find out more about Felia's true identity and after being attacked by a giant robot (again) they just smiled at the sunset like nothing happened. Either the main characters are just that stupid or the show's writer really think the viewers are that dumb. |

Clearly she's a person or thing of importance because so many people in or related to the government are looking for her. I'd say this "only real negative" is a pretty big one. It's one thing to intentionally leave your audience guessing what exactly transpired in front of them, but this is just the result of poor script writing/trying to do too much with too little time. If it's 3 episodes and there's not a clear motive for any of the characters or a sensible explanation or at least a theory for why things are happening, that's a HUGE negative. Feel free to disagree, but it's quite a turn off for me and a lot of others, it would seem. |
| I'm really amazed by their city, the architecture, the design of the houses, i love the mix of old design and the modern, and i'm not even talking about that huge bridge xD Felia seems to have a great power. |
