We don't know that yet... for all we know it could be worse by the end. Although I'm glad they are taking the military approach rather than the school life approach of Valvrave.

Buddy complex reminds me more of gundam than valvrave. The pacing on that show was awful.

The original Gundam series is pretty similar, minus the time travelling it's basically the same thing, and the coupling is replaced with ... space magic if you wonna call it that lol.

Ehh not enjoying these series, its not bad in terms of animation and the like, but as with too many mecha stories its so cookie cutter or lacking, but maybe it'll get better.

lol for the old style welcome party XD

I love seeing O'Keefe scared expression >w< I hate that woman

Random fujo rant ...

Hmm... thinking back at 1st episode... will Zogilia got their hand on coupling system and Bizon and Hina become a coupling buddy? And then something happened and Bizon thought that Hina went MIA, that's why he was so angry when he saw her with Aoba...

LOL... sorry, I think those are a bit too old, I saw the opening of the original gundam, they looked like some kind of bouncy toys, lol...

Any other good mecha series that has great implementation

Again I am disappointed that Hina wasn't captured. Aoba, just ask Dio to help capture her and this senseless bickering will stop!

It still does bother people that by now he couldn't figure out by now that the Hina now is a different Hina from who he met. This creates too much unnecessary drama.

I hope someone hears out his story and suggests it to him since he is too innocent to figure it out.
Well, if you think about it, there's no way he could possibly come to that conclusion. There's already a billion different theories about time travel and what not and only a fan of science fiction would really be able to realize "Oh, she must have faded away because there can't be two copies of herself."

It's not like he was prepared enough to be able to determine what the viewers can... she didn't tell him the situation at all. All he knows is that his classmate who brought him here told him that Dio would help him and now he's on the opposite side of a war with her. It's not like they've sat down and had a conversation, so for all he knows he could think she's forgotten him or been brainwashed.

4/5

Do not fly off the plot, but still usable.
Storytelling made ​​of bread and blows with the robot, I would like a new menu, please! ^ _ ^
Emotions still a few, but wait.
Funny at times, I was struck by the story when the blonde is pissing in fear! ASD
Ooops ... sorry for my profanity! ^ ^ "
Designed well, it manages to be interesting during the clappers, excellent animation.
I wish there was some episode dedicated to the newspaper but more focused on the preparation of the pilots and machines, just to get more in the context! : D

YES DRILL SERGEANT!!!

It has always bothered me that there are so many mechas. Are these things cheap to build like a car or something?

Thanks to feared ace pilot Alfried Gallant, Hina is now free. Since she thinks capturing the Luxon will clear her name, she'll be meeting Aoba more often.

Mayuka putting on a tough act

First time watching this, I thought Fiona would be staying on the Cygnus.
