| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- ACTIVATE Felt kinda odd for the pilot episode. OP song is somewhat catchy though imo while other parts felt silly. I mean, the usage of the OST didn't give me a thrilling feel. Although based on the episode, the technology and stuff was interesting in some ways. Kazari seems like somewhat of an interesting character. Otherwise, not sold on this just yet. Lol, the Engrish though. "Excuse me boss!"  Hmm the action was alright I guess. |

| already don't like the main girl. too snobbish hopefully she will open up soon. |
| So there's a "Shy" Madoka and then "Wow, she's Short!" LOL. And that Voice... "Akino from bless 4", no wonder. |

| Not a bad start imo The premise was decent enough for a cop show and to me it felt a little like a light hearted version of Psycho Pass with our main female lead kinda reminding me of Akane from Psycho Pass in her early stages The introduction of the main cast was okay and so far I like the dynamic of the entire group with our two mecha pilots plus the chief and purple haired girl being the stand out people for me The mecha designs weren't as bad as I thought they would be and although the battles weren't really flashy per say, they still looked alright for my taste....Not sure how I feel about this series overall in general but so far it looks like it could turn into something that's pretty good in the long run |

| Kazari's so friggin annoying. She reminds me of Akane (Psycho Pass) in her early stages when she was meh but instead of naive for Akane here she's just annoying and bitchy thinking she knows it all (So like Mika). Love how the team treats her like a noob :P I knew Saeki Shun was the Original character designer but didn't really see anything similar to his characters at the start until I saw Takeru. He looks so much like Souma. So that's how an Adult Souma would look like I guess ^^; Blue haired girl is HAWT :L Story is meh so far but we'll see I guess |
 |
| It feels like they just suddenly dropped us into the show. The main character will take some time getting used to with her "Hey, look at me being smart and pretentious" personality. Besides that, it was a decent first episode. Hope it gets better after this. Dat engrish tho. |
| I don't know how to think about this series. It doesn't look bad, but something makes me not to like it. I will give it another ep, maybe even 2 to see. |
| Awfully fast paced for a first episode, not that it influenced the shoddiness presented so far in the show anyways. This feels like a sloppy rehash of Psycho Pass with some Classroom Crisis vibes. Must say, very disappointing coming from Code Geass' director, but the blame shouldn't be on him alone. Kagari is highly irksome, but rest of the cast aren't any better. I can already see how tacky the character interactions and developments will be, which in turn will give the show a shabby form. Unless there're some interesting political intrigues later on, I don't see how it'd be redeemable. The only thing that somewhat stood out were the soundtracks. At least one Code Geass staff managed to live up to expectation. GG Kotaro Nakagawa. |
 |
| Am I literally the only one who actually likes the female lead lmao. Though I did like Akane too when I watched Psycho Pass so maybe that's why. I'm actually really excited about this though the overuse of cgi in today's anime industry kind of annoys me. The art style in this series is nice though even though it's nothing special. |
 |
| Meeeeeh It could have been bettter |
| Active huh.... This was a fast paced episode and because of the plot of this anime that is actually a good quality for it. The new special inspector has a lot to learn about the eighth unit... but all good things come in due time. ~Great first episode!!! |
 |
So guys in mecha suits protecting the public. Well, it reminds me a bit of Tiger & Bunny.  Our MC sure screamed really loud after seeing the 2 guys in their underwear. I guess this means she doesn't watch porn.  |

| Power Rangers!!! gonna follow it, just hope that they no spent like 10 mins of every episode in "u can't do this because of the laws" speeches :u |
| That was fun to watch! The CG didnt look as bad as I expected from the pv |

| I didn't watch any of the PVs or really pay attention to this so I went in expecting a sci fi cop show and got a slapstick comedy sci fi cop show, I can't say it's not my fault, but I'm a bit disappointed. CGI was pretty bad as well |
| That made me feel sleepy. Not particularly bad but there was nothing here for me to care about. I kind of dislike body suit mecha action which is why I struggled with Tiger and Bunny or Gatchaman Crowds. A bunch of pretty looking characters fighting crime with their mecha suits. I don't see myself following this for more than 2-3 episodes. We'll see... |
 |
| A very dull opening episode. I see other people saying how this is an amazingly faced paced opening episode but... well, it wasn't to me. Most of it took place sitting on a train and the final fight was like 30 seconds long. It's a very generic group of characters, a generic set up and kinda lame robot suits. Very typical "our group are all rebels who get the job done and the evil government are trying to close us down with one of their rookie agents. Let's make the rookie look like a retard for 30 minutes until they decide to join us". Kind of Rail Wars meets Tiger and Bunny meets Classroom Crisis. |
| Its not as horribly bad as Phantom world, but...it just feels like a mess. A bunch of elements thrown together and elements don't gel well together. In a way it reminds me a bit of Guilty Crown, which makes sense considering who is making this. To get this out first - The OP is horrible. The singer is trying too hard to sound epic and the visuals are pretty much stills. It kind of reminds me of the "LN/VN advert shows" from 2000-2005 period, that did not have that much effort thrown into it. Actually when I think about it "Trying too hard" describes whole show - as I said before, it has a bunch of elements that feel poorly thought out and the narrative is trying too hard to make it seem like the best thing ever. Super Sentai genre is not something that is usually done good in anime. Tiger&Bunny and Samurai Flamenco got away via good quality writing, self awareness and meta commentary. Gatchaman Crowds and (to an extent) Yoru no Yatterman - via stylized art and darker subtext. This does not have either of those excuses. It just feels thrown around together and as result I feel it fails to create interest or make the viewer attached to the narrative, leading towards it all feeling incredibly boring.. The fact that character designs(especially for the girls) looks out of place(most of them look like highschoolers and those faces...) also does not help. IF the writers spent more time thinking out the world and creating a genuinely serious scifi cop drama(to scratch that SAC itch, not that Taniguchi Goro could write at that level), it would turn out decent. But this slapstick tone paired with poorly thought out setting and poorly handled narrative just makes it feel...bizarre? I honestly don't know if I will continue watching this. It did not give off good feeling from promos and the first episode does nothing to stand out or make me feel better. We'll see how the rest of the shows are this season. 5/10 |
 |
| That was quite interesting, and the characters seem okay so far. The concept and setting seem interesting and the action was okay. Nice ost though. |
ThatDarnIrishMan said: Kind of Rail Wars meets Tiger and Bunny meets Classroom Crisis. Another amalgamated show this season. Not as bad as Haruchika because the plot was basic enough. Hoping the next ep has more oomph. |
 |
| Eh rather liked it mostly but its ok at best sofar.There is too much below average looking CGI in this episode alone and i really pray they wont shove that "mecha gear up" scene down my throat every time like Captain Earth did it with its space launch scene. I cant stand shit like that. will give this a few more episodes. it wasnt anywhere near the disaster like phantom world that much i can say already. |
ThatDarnIrishMan said: Kind of Rail Wars meets Tiger and Bunny meets Classroom Crisis. My thoughts exactly! |
 |
| Yeah, i'm out. I kinda wanted to be good, but it wasn't, meh. |
| was alright but the cg was terrible, there is no interaction between the environment and the cg models on top of them not looking good either. the premise sounds like a fun turn of your brain series but the actual series is just kinda meh. will give it another episode or 2 but terrible cg in the first episode is not a good sign that any future action scenes will be any better |
Hmm, where i see that before.... But was a good first episode, if they keep more serious... |

| wth, i fell asleep... |
| The first thing that i thought after watching this : Power Ranger. The fucking female character is too annoying. i thought her character design was beautifull but the personality....fucking annoying. i already hate her after watching this episode. the action.......well, i can't say it was amazing and i can't say it was bad nor it was meh......just OKAY. not planning to dropped this, but i don't think i can catch up with the episode while it's airing. let's just see what will happen in the next next episode. i doubt i will give this a score higer than 8 or 7. AND EDIT: FUCKING MAIN CHARACTER, CAN SHE STOP SPEAK IN ENGLISH ? SHE SPEAKS ENGLISH EVEN THOUGH SHE CAN USE JAPANESE. IS THAT EVEN FUCKING NECESSARY ? |

| Boring action is boring. Female lead is pretty interesting with lots of room for development, though. Will keep watching for now. |
| I don't know what the fuck is going on throughout most of the episode |
| meh, not that good, but still watchable.... |
 |
| Boring. i'll give it a few more episodes just because the soundtrack was really good. |
| This series is awfully boring. If I don't see any improvement in episode 2, then I'm dropping this series instantly. I can't believe there are people that actually was hype for this. I can imagine their disappointment. |
| what's up with the engrish |
 |
| Man, I can really tell that people here don't watch old school anime. This show is obviously heavily inspired by Patlabor. Rookie is sent to new division in the Police Division has the reputation of being goofballs or oddly unconventional Substitute the mecha Willwear for Labor and there you have it. I've yet to see a Taniguchi show I didn't enjoy, so I'll keep on watch it, even though this first episode wasn't too impressive. |

| Too much "Permission" needed to do anything.... Looks like a bad knock-off version of "Power Rangers". |
| Not bad, kinda entertaining and sometimes funny, so I'll stick with this show I think. |
| ったく、嫌な世の中だよ。 |
| Couldn't get past 13:00 lol. 1st drop of the season.. |
Claude_KennyJan 7, 2016 12:41 PM
| Keep moving forward |
| Really boring episode. Think I'll give this 1-2 more episodes before dropping. |
GenT-san said: Couldn't get past 13:00 lol. 1st drop of the season.. I already dropped it! Worst 1st episode I've seen in the winter season aside from "Sushi Police". |
| This was pathetically boring. I knew it would be generic, but don't be so boring that it makes me look at the progress bar rather than the actual anime. 2/5 |
 |
| I couldn't watch it to the end. Not only I was thrown into the show without any explanation but then I have to watch naked male that is preparing to ride mecha, and I generally don't like mecha, Easy drop. |
