| From the same studio that brought you Jashin-chan Dropkick! and the Alice Gear Aegis OVA, comes the game's anime adaptation...that I have no prior experience to the game, so this is fresh to me. The newcomer Nodoka Takahata coming to Narikozaka Manufacturing (under Fumika Momoshina) hoping to be an Actress, and it's clear that she is a big fan of Yotsuyu Hirasaka and be taught by her to become an effective weapon, together with Sitara Kaneshiya and the heap of other Actresses. It's obvious that like Miss Kobayashi's Riko Saikawa, Nodoka is displaying the exact same nosebleeding obsessed behaviour, trained rigorously enough to become one. Ganbatte, Nodoka Takahata! Your job of being an Actress, adapt it to your heart, being and soul...except with the seizure of Narikozaka Manufacturing...? Typical CGDCT-ish feeling of similar game-to-anime shows like it. Though at the very least, this is somehow newcomer-friendly being an EXpansion of sorts. |

| Those training were purely chaotic, but hey... they were useful in the end. I really love how Nodoka idolized and simping over Yotsuyu. That was pretty funny to watch. |
何それ？意味分かんない  |
| I watched Alice Gear Aegis: Doki! Actress Darake no Mermaid Grand Prix♥ before this. Good beach episode with nice fanservice and comedy. And yeah, this first episode was also great. I loved the character interactions and yuri vibes. <3 Pretty epic nosebleeds. :P Yep, definitely a mecha anime for my taste. Much better start than I expected. |

| lol they really stated the genres for this as "sci-fi action". might've as well called it a horror thriller, would've made just as much sense good luck, have fun |
| That had a lot more production quality than I expected |

Yeah there were some 3d assets in the back grounds but the actual girls and their mecha was all hand drawn which I was definitely not expecting. Honestly that opening action bit was incredible and the rest of the episode was pretty well animated even if the plot is pretty goofy and nonsensical. I'll be keeping up with this one.From the same studio that brought you Jashin-chan Dropkick! and the Alice Gear Aegis OVA, comes the game's anime adaptation...that I have no prior experience to the game, so this is fresh to me.

| I'm worried I won't be able to endure Nodoka for 12 whole episodes. She is still not as bad as Yellow Thing, tho. Bright coloured designs and overall vibe from this first episode reminds me of New Game, but something tells me, they'll pull Madoka Magica on us and things will go dark. |

| This anime seems New Game on amphetamine! XD Maybe this the most baka and random thing I ever watched but I loved it! XD a classic anime of stupid cute girls doing stupid cute things. I haven't understood much of the setting but I loved the characters, in particular Nodoka and Shitara, the character design is similar of that in "New Game" (Doga Kobo studios), very funny first ep. I laughed so much, I think I'll keep watching it. |

| lol this was cute as fuck and i wanna give the main girl a big ass hug |
  |
| Alice gear is a weird one it's one of those things that have like zero fans overseas but figure collecting otakus love them some exo mecha girls same with Frame Arms Girl's but i was surprised to get hit with some hand drawn animation of actual space fighting? was really expecting just more lil figures girls goofing around. but it was mostly just a chatoic CGDCT and outside of vinland there ant much out today so i will gladly take some fluff also got a fair share of laughs at how random this was MC is a yuri bait to a level of creepy lol god damn im still thrown off by the higher production going on with what going by the score will most likely be a show hardly anyone watches |
 |
| I'm gonna enjoy the hell out of this |
 |
| yeah, this first episode is all over the place. funny. heart warming. dumb. really dumb. brand new horni girl horni for another girl. DSG with nice body, bonus she's a gamer. megane 'smart girl'. enthusiastic 'guts!' sporty tomboy leader. barely any guys so approaching shojo ai territory. it is looking like Cute Girls Doing Slice of Life Daily Work Things. with some kind of science fiction super-suits in space battles background story that is almost entirely and utterly absent in the show. so basically this is like that second and third Azure Lane anime shows. folks get to enjoy animated moving and talking versions of their waifu doing waifu things from their waifu game. yeah, i'm going to skip this one for 2 weeks and see if when i binge eps 2&3 it passes the three-episode rule. if not, it'll be a drop for me. |
just an ol school American otaku enjoyin the life. don't sass me kiddies, i've been otaku probably since before you were born. leave me in peace and i won't bother you either.  |
| I was wondering why the score was so low for a show that few will even decide to watch in the first place but it's just MAL being MAL. I was expecting a hard pass watching the first episode but it was fine once I understood how they're going to treat the show. |
| So the mecha action from the PV was actually reused from the OVA, lol. But honestly, not a bad episode, although it doesn't seem like something I would like to continue atleast weekly. Atleast for the next few episodes, it's going to have CGDCT as the base with some action sprinkled over. |
| I completely forgot this was meant to be a Mecha Musume because that first scene was so horrendous and irrelevant I tapped out barely two minutes in. Did it have an opening? No clue, didn't get far enough to check. This is the last time I go "I don't remember this, but if it's already on PTW, I must have found something intriguing about it back when I added it." |
| Well I for one already loved Lain. |

| Me gusto el inicio de esta temporada |
 |
| Could someone explain what episode 0 is? Is it an alternate title for Alice Gear Aegis: Doki! Actress Darake no Mermaid Grand Prix♥ ...or is it what should have shown up as episode 1 on MAL in discussions since it doesnt allow a 0 episode? Is it just part of episode 1 that aired early? Is it meant to be considered part of episode 1? Makes it hard for me to know what to do after I watch it and episode 1.... |

| enjoyed the first episode. Nodoka really tried hard to become qualified. She lived through the special training a hundred times. |
| Watched episode 0, and it starts out as a random Beach race episode... lol And then there's a Naruto Frog summon... then a fusion... and then we got singing... WTF is even going on? LOL . And then watched episode 1.... Which starts out in Space instead with girls in mecha-suits. Then it goes to the real MC, who is apparently into some sort of Yuri-senpai fantasy, lol. And they have some sort of weird Idol training... I thought this series was going to be about some Alien battle or something based on the summaries, LOL . So episode 0 is basically a out-of-chronological-order beach episode to lure in people to watch the actual anime... |
