It is curious.
The first episode was entertaining and the ending made me curious.
The opening is great!

A lot of jiggling, even compromising the anatomy and the clothes (?). It seems promising, but for a first episode it is a lot. Also couldn’t hear the voice of the geek girl without thinking in their last production: “the girl I like forgot her glasses”.

These have to be some of the worst looking weapon designs I've ever seen in anime.

It struggles to capture attention in its debut episode. The premise revolves around delicate themes of love and fleeting moments, but the storytelling feels a bit too slow and unclear at times. While the visuals are soft and pretty, they don’t entirely make up for the lack of engaging character development or a strong emotional hook.

The pacing drags a bit, and the relationships between the characters don’t feel deeply explored yet. The episode shows potential, but it’s hard to become fully invested when it doesn’t give much to hold onto in terms of plot or character connection. It’s a quiet start that leaves you hoping for more substance in future episodes.

Also GoHands choice of animation and everything else can leave you with a headache, believe me.

Give it another 2 episodes. Didn't like the "suddenly our new girl pulls out a wave motion gun style of weapon". Also the plot is weak. Not enough world development. Too much fan service(strange that I'm saying that). Too many tropes.

GoHands prolly like the only studio to get criticized for animating too much, not to mention K looks the damn same but doesn't get any hate

This is really hard to watch without knowing Japanese because so much happens on screen at a high pace you really got to listen and watch with your peripheral extra close. I think this is first action show Ive seen from Gohands so far i think.

I think this is first time i saw a eczema mentioned in an anime lol

So much jiggling

Aaah! My eyes are bleeding. The things I do for yuri potential. It won't happen, but I hope they meet a group of guys next episode and this swings heavy hetero. Then I could drop it.

I am giving it one more episode. The animation looks clean, but holy moly, the story is all over the place. The world is barely explained so far, yet so much is happening on screen at once, which would be fine if each scene had longer, but everything is very snappy with no natural transition.

The characters fall into a couple of archetypes, which I don't prefer but am okay with. However, the estatic one gets annoying real fast (Yuri).

Overall, I'm kind of disappointed because this was one of the animes I was looking forward to this season.

Go Hands is cooking again with the very same character designs and world view... is this a copy-paste of the previous ones? lols

Anyway, I like the CGDCT concept with the Action as cliché as it can be, but the enemies are rather disappointing... alien-like forms from somewhere... I'm not interested if it's not a unique enemy to face from the rest of the other series I've watched.

Btw, since I like CGDCT, the way the girls talk, like they're in their own world while battling these things are rather out of touch, and doesn't really mix well for me. I'm dropping this...

It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines
and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it,
is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service.

whew, you can tell it is GoHands within a minute.
1 ultra photo-realistic backgrounds. effing A they're sharp! :O
2 massively over-animated hair! with zero other reasons apparent why the wind is blowing like that! gdamn! :O
3 not a single mob character or moving object in the backgrounds. if it isn't a character or signage animation on the billboards? every scene is empty! not a mouse, bird, bug, average people, cars/trucks/trains... nothing. well, except for the rando tiny robot.
4 make you effing barf CAMERA WORK! guhhhh! :| my eyeballs were so tired after each fight scene! :|

well at least GoHands kidna-sorta logically explained WHY the entire city is empty THIS TIME except for the characters, and how everything is still running mostly smoothly! :D last few shows, nope... city was just empty and that was it.
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 am just here complaining that an otherwise good sounding show has been given a studio that has this horrible taste in background art style. I admit that on paper this style of background is high quality for probably not a ton of work, and with a quick turnaround for animation time... But it is distracting as heck, I really don't think it makes a show good, and in fact I would prefer the backgrounds to be a lot more basic. Backgrounds of noticeable quality or grand appearance are supposed to put emphasis on storyline elements or give depth to a specific location, but if every scene has a background with too many distracting details, it just kinda hurts my eyes and makes me want to look away.

I want the studio to do this same background animation method but with a style that blends in better with existing background art styles.

The way they animate now looks like the characters aren't even in the frame, they are like on a piece of glass on top of it. It's really jarring and I think they have done enough shows that they can better fine tune things by now, it is like whoever is in charge doesn't have eyeballs.

I know I sound overly harsh but it's just like, my opinion, man.

How does this have a lower rank then the absolute trash that is Bogus Skill «Fruitmaster», Headhunted to Another World: From Salaryman to Big Four!, and I'm Living with an Otaku NEET Kunoichi!????? This site truly blows my mind. I could hardly finish 1 episode for either of those and they're higher up.

I think this has the makings of a sleeper hit like like last seasons "The Most Notorious "Talker" Runs the World's Greatest Clan".

I'm keeping my eyes on this one. Pacing was a little wacky but it has good bones.

I was trying to remember where I had seen this anime’s graphics before, and I remembered! It was in Sukimega! That’s because it’s the same studio, GoHands.
something reminds me of Symphogear too. 🤔
Maybe the mix of music or singing with moments of fighting? The involvement of characters fighting against greater forces, usually in life-or-death situations?

Oh, boy. It's been awhile since I last saw this kind of art style and animation. GoHands never dissapoints with their action animation. I love watching K series and Hand Shakers, so I'm glad they're back with another series.

Em muitos momentos animação e realmente achei o desing e animações ia ser o diferencial do anime, ela é Boa com varios cenarios diferentes e bem equilbrados mas na parte de ação o excesso de efeitos e cabelos balancando acaba atrapalhando o anime não é como se fosse uma animação simples e fluida e sim varias animações que tentam se entrelassar sem cordenação nenhuma e quase causa um ataque epiletico em quem assiste

I forgot to leave a comment, even thought I saw the first episode on the day of its premiere, lol.

Good start. Stunning visuals, be it art or animation, although my only complaint is too much jiggling. Like, I don't mind it in general, but enough is enough. A delicate motion makes their hair move as if they were jumping up high and falling down, haha.

I'm not a fan of CGDCT and moe, however, I will give this anime a try. Interesting concept, decent sakuga moments balances with more timid ones. To be fair, the visuals and sakuga action scenes were the main reason I picked this show. :P Maybe the plot will be good as well. We will see.

Oh yes, definitely. The second half of ep. 1 had so much happening on the screen all at once, all in a high pace, that without knowing Japanese and with only relying on subs it could be hard to follow, at least in a comfortable way, without pausing the show for several times.

Not bad, not much of a fan of cooking/food anime but the action is fun. I also don’t really like the characters clothing but I’m looking past it.

I wanted to like it. I liked the opening song and I like the bold juxtaposition of 3D and 2D and the elaborate animation, but the constant flashy colors and shrill dialogue made me physically ill. Gonna have to pass for the sake of my health.
