| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ----------------------------------------  Surprisingly, I actually kinda like the OP song of this series. First half was kinda boring for me. Otherwise, I sort of like the overall design of their spaceship. It also seems like Team Rabbit is getting outmatched a bit in speed but I guess they still pulled it through. Still, I'm expecting more from this series. |
 |
| Did this show go Tiger and Bunny on us haha? The interview was pretty funny seeing Team Rabbits trying to answer the questions concisely but failing miserably. Seeing the one member checking comments on NicoNico got the biggest chuckle out of me. I definitely found more to like in this ep than the premiere. Damn that one woman has a huge rack O.O |
| They ended up failing after boasting so much... kinda awkward to watch |
| Not bad...but I liked the previous one better. Glad that the song that was played at the end of last ep is the OP, I loved that song :) Nxt is a fanservice ep -.- |
 |
| Haha Ataru should know there's a remove comments button when streaming on NicoNico or any site of that nature. This anime is going more of the path of Tiger and Bunny especially during the battle, it reminds me of that anime except with mechs. The OP is very good. stefeman said: They ended up failing after boasting so much... kinda awkward to watch I was getting ZZ vibes from their failure especially from the boosting. |
 |
| So even in that future world, we still have NicoNico Douga live broadcast ! LOL |
| So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old? I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them? I wonder how long people would put up with this. As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series. |
OhMaryJane said: I like the concept of the AHSMB units having a flight or flight response coded with in them. (though not terribly convenient) and how it is linked into the users DNA. "I am Reika Saionji, the head mechanic but everyone calls me boobs boss." I think it's kind of redundant. Humans naturally already have a fight or flight response that is part of their nature. Why would you need to put that into their DNA? And since the humans control the mechs, the mechs by effect will be controlled with a flight or fight response. It's redundant and could get you killed if the machine reacts one way, and you another. That was shown several times in this episode as that one guy tried to get his covering, only for the machine to jump out of the way. In any normal fighting situation, he would have easily gotten killed ten-fold. If the machines can think for themselves, why do they need pilots? |
| Frist episode was MEH with ok fight scenes and music, second I just skiped though most of it. I'll keep watching for now but not really expecting much. |
| That was an improvement over the last episode imo, enjoyed it a bit more, will keep watching. |
| Well, after watching the second episode, this is really growing lower and lower in my estimation. They spend most of the time on PR and media response which is usually rarely touched on in mecha shows because the concern is mostly on more important things...like the WAR! We also find that while these are the 5 idiots, it seems that the leader is actually the biggest idiot of the 5. From seeing this episode you'd forget there was even a war going on! We spend a lot of screen time on interviews, and sponsor branding...sponsor branding, really?! Now the mechs look like crappy futuristic race cars. And the only smart person here is the lowly assistant of one of the military heads, who suggests that maybe, instead of putting on a show for the media and sponsors, they should concentrate on what's really important...you know, the war with the alien race trying to wipe you out? The whole sci-crap they spouted regarding DNA and mechs was stupid, why the heck would you need to put a "fight or flight response" in the DNA of the machines or the pilots? The pilots are humans and so have that response naturally, and the mechs are controlled by the humans and so by extension so do they. In fact, since we see the mechs actually can control themselves in a situation, and can freeze up in fear like a human would because of the DNA, why the heck would you do that?! It's just going to get the pilots killed! And of course, what we all knew was going to happen happened. The mechs got attacked while doing their PR stunt of course. However, that leads us to the only interesting things happening in this show. The alien race and our now questionable masked commander. I can now see why he chose the team of 5 idiots. He never expected them to survive, and so sent the stupidest ones out there. From the small shadowed scenes he has with the white-haired chick, he doesn't believe in the team and really thinks lowly of them. And in a way, he's right to. There is still nothing amazing about this team. They are still crappy, stupid, and silly, and their last battle was a fluke. This recent battle, they would have been killed ten-times over if the alien prince and his entourage hadn't been playing with them. They were only there to show them who's boss. It wasn't coincidence that they slowed down considerably while the idiots were fooling around with their armor. It proved that even WITH their armor, there was nothing they could do against their true might. And I am calling it! The white-haired chick is not only the main love interest for our MC, but she is also the sister of our actual Char clone, the white-haired alien prince Jiart who is going to be the main rival for our leader. Whether she is on the aliens' side or the humans' is called into question, and whether the commander is a spy or not is also unsure. I find the aliens wayyyy more interesting than the humans at the moment, but this show is not impressing me. With way better mecha shows going on this season, MJP is trying my patience. And BTW, are you telling me the term "Majestic Prince" is not a military term, but simply something the media dubbed them from their acronym of MJP, which actually stands for Military Junior Pre-Academy? So are you saying that these so called "princes" are really just members of the space JROTC? That's...pretty lame. I'm giving this show one more chance according to the three episode rule, but it hasn't won any points this week. In fact, it lost some. I'm taking this from a 3/10 last week, to a 2/10. |

I think a better show could link the idea of the flight or fight response in a better way as I do feel there is potential behind having to tame a mecha like a wild horse but this show has made the whole thing feel unnecessary and it does just endanger the pilot. Its the underdeveloped concept I like not the execution of it. That's another thing, why do they have to tame a machine? That makes no sense. It's not a living being that has a mind and spirit of its own. It doesn't even have an AI. Just treat them like mechs and pilot them like mechs. Its not that hard! I think in an effect of them trying to be original but it really just seems silly. You give the worst pilots in the academy the job of trying to tame and teach their mechs?! You're really trying to get them killed aren't you? There only so many times luck will save them. And another thing, even if you wanted your mechs to be like "wild stallions" -_-, the battlefield is not the place to try to tame them. That's stupid. |
IreneshardaApr 11, 2013 11:09 AM
| So far I like it more than Gargantia (ok it's 1:2 episodes to compare but still). Fighting scenes were decent, I liked that whole PR idea - well they have to take money. So far it's also not so serious show about saving the world, humanity and all the rest. There is a lot of time to do so with 24 episodes. And if it will remain show about band of dummies doing weird things, I don't mind. |

| Well, personally, I am liking this series quite a bit. Not having any particular problems with the characters, and I really like mech designs and the space animation. |

parfaited said: Hybridbloodszak said: Did this show go Tiger and Bunny on us haha? Except that T&B characters were 1243231534123451x more likable. Yup couldn't agree more, the main cast in this show have so far been very one note looking at them individually |
niaxato said: I really like the space battles. What space battles? They have ONE space battle that was more of a fluke imo, and this episode, they were just standing still while the prince and his cohorts messed around with them. They only got off one shot that didn't even hit, and never even got time to fight back. That hardly qualifies as a "battle". |

Alot of the mech style shows I have seen, it takes pilots a few episodes if not more to fully utilize those "top end" machines. Since the machines are encoded with their dna, they kinda are like living beings, like another version of the pilots themselves as the vice commander said. Its only been 2 episodes, in a 2 cour series, im pretty sure we will get some background as to why the "worst" pilots in the academy were chosen. It seems like they have been getting their asses kicked throughout the war, so they needed some radical upgrade in their military and those new mechs were it. Really, where is the best place to test a weapon if not the battlefield? |

This episode they were basically used as media outreach, not as combat pilots. They didn't have their battle armor on, and their control system wasn't working right. Plus they were up against a new mech from an enemy that has been kicking their ass throughout the war. From the amount of posts you have on this episode it's clear you really don't like the show and that's fine. To each his/her own. |

Really, where is the best place to test a weapon if not the battlefield? Not it the machine is going to react against it's pilots wishes and thus get both pilot and machine destroyed, which it could have done in this episode if the aliens had actually went for the kill shot. The battlefield is not where you test and train, that's what training grounds are for, so that the enemy won't kill you while you're trying to "tame" your machine. And encoding DNA into a machine, doesn't make it a living being, I don't care what big-breasted tech says. |

From the amount of posts you have on this episode it's clear you really don't like the show and that's fine. To each his/her own. I like mecha shows, and so I've been watching the 3 biggest ones this season to see how I like each one. And yes, so far in my estimation, this one is my lowest rated of the two I have seen (Valvrave won't be out till tomorrow). It has the most problems and doesn't seem to have that much going for it. However, I am giving it a chance since it is a 2 cour show, and it might just be having a really slow start right now. I do however, have things that I like about Majestic Prince, in that I'm beginning to be interested in the aliens and Prince Jiart, also the commander and the white-haired girl look like they are playing a bigger part in this. And there are some background bridge crew members that I think could be interesting if they explore them more. I also do think the designs of the mechs are cool, especially the gold one, and I do think the first battle was really good in the beginning of episode 1. I just feel that sometimes the cons tend to outweigh the pros and it slows the show down, making it really hard to get into. |
| lol at the Nico live video feed and scrolling comments. |
 |
| i really liked the Op. not sure about the rest of the show tho. for me there hasnt been a real space "battle" sofar..justthe usual" MC + mech go apeshit" crap. i still dont like the character designs and especially the CGI mechs. and the alies looked ridiculous in last episode. i have to get used to this to really enjoy the series. 3/5 |
| It reminds my of (Gundam 00) . Medium anime and boring ... |
 |
| I can't stand this anime... dropped. The characters are completely one dimensional and moronic. The comedy isn't funny and doesn't fit with the overall serious tone the war is supposed to have (some animes, like Gintama, can pull that off; this one absolutely can't). I have trouble suspending my disbelief because the plot is so laughably bad. I've started liking shounen animes less and less, but some are still exciting, entertaining, or interesting enough for me to keep watching. This one is just mediocre at best, and annoying on average. I just can't understand how shit like this gets 24 episodes. I can only hope that it gets horrible ratings and sales so the producers can learn. |
 |
| Always good to hear Ishikawa Chiaki singing the OP or ED. |
 |
| ah so they got knocked down a peg...good good. even so, the corporate logo on the machines was a nice touch. that's the future of space travel. pretty soom we will have USS Redbull or Enterprise Pepsi. |
| I almost fell asleep. |
 |
| I like the opening. |
| My Anime Blog: http://www.Entravity.com/ Episodic overviews of the latest anime. |
| Anyone else feel kinda annoyed with the characters, and most of the first half? It's like we're all just sitting around waiting to watch the Mech action. The Op is amazing I love it |
| Better than the first ep, but I hope we get a REAL battle soon. Don't really like the JULIA system, it should augment the pilots skills and not work against them. Btw, what was that withe the matryoshka doll mecha? A mech inside a mech? Also, sponsors on mecha? I'd rather ride an itasha mecha into battle. (though it kinda reminded me of Captain Amazing) |
| I want Rambo in a mecha-suit with a laser-chainsaw gun that fires nuclear warheads, fighting the love-child of Predator, Alien, a group of Bangladeshi terrorists, and Satan. (Actually that would be a pretty sick show) - StopDropAndBowl |
| Wut 24 eps? Okay let's wait for another 2 eps to decide as of continue or drop.. |
| Keep moving forward |
KingYoshi said: I almost fell asleep. Same here...and I wasn't even in the sleepy mood ._. Well since it's still the second episode and it's 24 episodes total, I guess it's okay for me not to be fully interested yet. Like few of the previous comments said, I also don't really understand the significance or the necessity of having DNA in the machines? I'm sure it'll be explained though. So far, none of the characters interest me either :/ The preview for next episode almost seems like a filler or something. Anyways, those 4 things were insane o_O No wonder even the machines froze up. |
| In regards to DNA its probably unlimited potential as the commander (Simon i think) explained it like a person in a frenzied state. Also DNA can store like terrabytes of data so organic element kind of makes sense. |
| Did they just pull "newtype" on this guys. A kids that are taken away since birth to adapt to space. I reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaly hope I'm misunderstanding that point since, well, this show is really, really, really bad and I don't want to rate it even lower. Hell, I don't even know why I'm watching this anymore, I hate the characters, I hate the logic (ep1. send your worst team in your most expensive suits, ep2. You're in a war, fighting enemies most advanced suits, but decide not to kill them because it's no fun), I hate pretty much everything about this show. I'll probably watch 1 or 2 more episodes then drop it. |
| Worst mech show this season. |
 |
| very good mecha action, but horrible characters facial drawing and animation |
| Isayama Hajime should be awarded The Manga with The Highest Inconsistencies of Characters' Appearances. He keeps performing multiple plastic surgeries on those Shingeki No Kyojin characters in a SINGLE chapter. Yes, I've read up to the latest chapter of Shingeki No Kyojin manga. Forced myself to read through the kidsketching chapters after the anime's ended. At least from now on, I only have to go through the hell once a month. Patiently awaiting SNK TV/movie/OVA anime-sequel. The 2015 SNK live-action movie would probably suck. |
2easy4AgEnT said: Wut 24 eps? Okay let's wait for another 2 eps to decide as of continue or drop.. same here cause the mecha part sucks major ASS sofar and the anime itself has really no other redeeming qualities. if i cant make it thru one episode without falling asleep then 24 episodes will be pure torture! |
| Well the OP is good.. |
 |
| I haven't seen a mech show with advertisements splashed all over the main casts mechs before.. As different as that is, they look ugly as sin now. |
| Ads on the mechs? wtf is this tiger and bunny? shit was mad corney also with they would stop being a bunch of bitch and man up. |
