Great job Hiroyuki Yoshino, you did it again. Haha, I find that ironic because my exact thoughts were, during that scene, "This is some pretty interesting exposition." Maybe I'm just too naive. Nah. I liked the exposition too. |
| Nice shower scene.... :3 |
 |
| People don't seem to be loving it too much, but I really enjoyed the first episode and I think this has a lot of potential :) |

So you rather be told than be shown in an anime? Even what they told is not more intriguing or sophisticated than what a 13-year-old could come up with who is into military or politics but knows nothing more than what he has read from Wikipedia. I mean the most powerful weapon ever wielded by human is a huge black ball with some cannons or weapons of any kind sticking out from its surface like needles sticking on a ball of wool with the most generic name you can think of. Might as well call the next Sixth-generation jet fighter "Weapons". They don't even try to make them look cool or intimidating, no one questions the practicality of mobile suits because the designers always try to make them unique and nice to look at. This is a whole new level of laziness. We have some kind of laser weapons and very effective armor or some protective shield therefore totally justifies our completely unimaginative design. Oh I'm sure there's going to have some kind of pseudo-scientific explanation to why the Objects look the way it's now. But since when it has ever worked and not making everyone look like an idiot trying to bring realism to a world of obscurity? Anime logic. They don't even know how to be fun anymore. Everything is just a job comes with reluctant responsibility. |

| I was enjoying it until the excessive fan service kicked in. Seriously JC Staff have you forgotten to do a show without copious amounts of ecchi? |
| Im enjoying the boobs so far. |

raveninthemuddle said: So you rather be told than be shown in an anime? That depends what the tradeoff is. Since they can't animate every scene in the novel, forcing the viewers to live with 5 minutes of "boring" exposition could be a good deal if it lets them animate a lot more of the "interesting" material. |

So you are saying the production team can sacrifice the audience's comfort just because they can? I thought when you are making an anime you're supposed to make everything presentable, if they think the info-dump is a necessary evil then they should think of another way to prepare the audience for their anime, you are trying to entertain, not waiting for the paycheck. |
| Hey lets start the episode by explaining everything for 5 minutes instead of showing something actually interesting and then later explaining things through the story. |
| I am falling, I am fading, I am drowning, help me to breathe. |
| We got an anime that present heavy objects as weapons of mass destruction that is made in island country from the sole purpose of world peace but in the end it just gotten worse for now the other faction can also made this big balls of mass destruction. So what gives? The situation didn't change. People are still killing each other in the name expanding it's territory power. |
| A setup episode, can't blame people who felt it was boring. Still, as a LN reader I really want everyone to give it a chance, at least until episode 3. Because if I remembered correctly, the next episode should see the action ramp up a notch, and people will be able to see just how awesome it could be. JC Staff seems to be giving a solid although not great adaptation, and if they don't mess up the action sequences this will definitely be a solid action series to tune in to every week. |
| Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to give out death in judgement. For even the very wise cannot see all ends. |
| That was really boring. |
| The backstory was interesting. Off to a slow start, though. |
| MORE DAKKA! . . . anyways . . . a good slow start . . . |
 |
| i'll Drop this show instead and i hate the girly Pilot screw her >:| |
| The current game that i play: Azur Lane :3 |
| S'not a bad start to be honest. It's not like every single mech anime has to have mad explosions and battles from the first episode, no? The back story seems interesting enough to keep watching, and the animation isn't bad at all. |
HESTIA   APPROVES |
| I am pretty sure that a moose not a deer Why so many boring complains? |

| Milinda is kinda cute, not gonna lie. |
| and Seriously this anime is supposed to have more mecha action than M3 dosen't have |

EasyGo-er said: DatRandomDude said: ITS THE FIRST FUCKIN EPISODE DONT ALREADY STARTS TO TALK ABOUT PLOTHOLES JESUS CHRIST. Unexplained things in first episode = plotholes. Noobs throwing around words that they didn't even understand themselves. smh. Basically the reason why I don't do anime's episode discussion at all. First time commenting on one since forever. Be grateful! :D |
| "I'm just your typical human being who commit sins just like you. But the difference is that I never lied and tell anyone that what I did was right. I regret and ask for forgiveness from Him." Why is my signature not anime-related? It's because who gives a fuck? Anyway I'd like to advertise to you this: SHINGEKI NO KYOJIN IS FOLLOWING A SIMPLE FLOW OF THE STORYLINE. AND IT GETS REPETETIVE IF YOU VIEW IT ON ITS BIGGER PICTURE. WITH A LITTLE PLOT TWIST AND NEW IDEAS, YOU FORGOT THAT IT HAD ALREADY HAPPENED BEFORE. Also, Tokyo Ghoul is AWESOME. Especially :re. |
| For a Mecha Design. Heavy has the most indifferent and less creative mecha design ever. I thought Bokurano was using simple 3-D mecha design but this take the cake. A "Huge Ball" with barnacle like cannons sticking in it's body and decorated with bigger cannons? Wow even a kinder garden or elementary student can doodle it. |
| 1st episode was ok. I like that blond girl |
politoadboy said: This.Why do the characters talk about their jobs and "the objects" as if they were introduced yesterday? These things are supposed to be integrated into society, and yet the characters provide convenient explanations for their jobs and how the objects work. Do they have these conversations every day? Too much exposition. I'm not even hyped for the action in the next episode. Lack of action honestly wasn't the biggest problem, this was. Maybe getting the infodump out of the way first is a functional if lazy idea, but it didn't even take care of the exposition. Even after all that info, the characters still spent the rest of the episode talking like "what if someone from the 21st century is listening". |
| this show is a god damn mess. I don't know if it was Funimation's subbing to blame for the terrible dialogue, but the flow was downright awful in some spots. One minute they're talking about something serious, and then it shoots into fanservice and cringe like it's a necessity. Oh and all of a sudden they're in a battle? trainwreck of the season, right here. |
 |
| Jesus Christ people, calm down. It's been ONE episode so far and you're all acting like it's the worst start ever. Plenty of shows had slow starts. |
People are strange, when you're a stranger |
| I have to agree this isn't the best episode, but this is only the first, like some have already said. Maybe it will get better in the later episodes. I hope to hear the ED Theme soon!! |

To shit on it after just one episode is a bit much. |
| Not to derail but there are at least two other high school harem with skillful MC series this season (Gakusen and Rakudai). I really think those other series should be higher priority of hate than this series. At least this series compared to the other two: -Lasted longer before fanservice kicked in the first episode. The fanservice did not involve the MC seeing the girl naked by accident unlike the other two series. -Does not involve a high school with teenagers with superpower -Two dudes as MC instead of a single one -Has non-traditional mecha design, albeit physics-defying Just by these observations alone this is already a more promising series so haters should really get their priority right and go on the other two forums instead. |
bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |
| What the fuck is this shit? How the fuck does shit stories like this get green-lit? The part where the blonde girl got stuck on the chair and the fucking retard cunt MC went on for 1-2 minutes if to do anything and holding his [i]own fucking hand back[/i] was where I wondered about the intelligence of our species. I don't even know anymore..... |
  |
| one more hime this season....oh god |
 |
| Worse than I expected. I liked the animation, MC is okay, female MC(?) seems boring. And the fanservice was out of place... I don't prefer to watch ecchi, but I don't mind watching ecchi series... and it doesn't seem to fit this series at all... Gonna follow a few more weeks. Then I'll decide to drop or not to |
| Nice character design. Music is fine. Both male protagonists are also fine, especially Havia. The female one does not seem very interesting. The fanservice is unnecessary and does not fit at the moment. |
 |
| Whoa those Objects are OP OMG |
| its average , not bad but certainly not good |
| How long until season 3 of Spice and Wolf? The World May Never Know. |
Dragon_Slayer_X said: wakka9ca said: -snip- That really isn't fair you know..........all 3 are suffering from MAL's typical tendency of hating. Besides the hate lessen quite a bit after the next 1-2 episodes. Yes while all 3 suffer this one seems to have gotten the worse of the bunch. In any case, it's essentially useless to read/write anything here for the first few episodes. |

walldotfm said: OP theme (i presume it is even tho it was played at the end) was pretty good and fitting. Fanservice seemed unnecessary to me. The fanservice was a little unexpected. Intro bit was nice, i like expositions. For a start, it was okay. Will see what goes on next week. Agree with you, |
Ultimate215 said: Wow didn't see that this was released, I just now watched it lol. Anyway it was a nice episode, I'm looking forward to seeing more of the commander, she's awesome(hot). |
 |
| Hmmm...I was hoping for more as I researched the series beforehand every season but this is an average first episode. It's not a good start if the first impression is poor although I have seen tons of series starting poorly and ends on a high :) |
 |
| ....do they really need to be round shape? it's starting to annoy my thoughts...... |
#CHEXIT |
| the machine don't give any badass vibe look at all. |
| The current score for this on MAL is 6.66. Devil anime confirmed. |
| The first part of the episode is introductory, but interesting, middle and end a little slow and discursive, I was a little bored, especially the final I was not very clear. The plot seems to be about the classic struggle between the military, and who knows if it will be interesting not only to fill the fanservice and gag nosense. The potential is there, now must be authors not to ruin the good that is. The quality of the drawings is discreet, the CG is sufficient. |
 |
| boobie girls and dope panzer? ^^ well, interesting scenario. i will continue watching this just for crazy military concept … okay … and that sweet pilot girl. =p |
