Very Good Second Epiosde. Wonder if it will continue being calm like this or will be like Magica Madoka earlier in 2011.

Heh... so many are comparing Shinji to Madoka. In context of EVA, Shinji's character was fitting, no? Madoka feels more like the female version of Takuto to me.

Pacing is slow, hopefully it picks up. And YAY! Another Mugi!!!!! (w/ bewbs!!)
Lan's character design is very very similar to some other character I've seen before but I just can't remember her name.....

Yeah it seems every mecha show has been compared to NGE one way or another... Do people think it's the only one that has the "character who's destined to save the world" theme or something? How about try comparing it to something else for a change? E.g. Heroic Age?

The pacing seems fine to me. I mean it has a story and it has to start from somewhere. All the main casts are introduced. Few glimpses and hints of what seems to have happened to their world. Earth is probably caught in the middle an alien wars and forced to side with one of the faction. Vox Aura, like a lot other characters who talk with their eyes closed, is obviously a lying son of a bitch. What kind of evil shit has he been cooking up? Maybe Lan knows about his true motive? Will Lan be forced to betray Madoka? Will Madoka handle the truth? What will happen to their throbbing love-love relationship? I can't wait for the future episodes...

The only other character that I find Lan resembling atm, is Lumière from Kiddy Grade due to their similar hair colour and slightly similar hair style...

Muginami is adorable and cute. I wonder where is during all of this though. I hope the next episode gives us a proper intro for her. And I love the cousin more already.

Also, I hope we learn more about the boys as well.

The OP and ED are catchy as hell.

Damn - it keeps getting harder to decide if I like Madoka or Lan more ^^

Madoka realized that she's being used sooner than I expected. But from her perspective it looks like she's used by the good guys, so it makes sense that she goes along with it for now. They also provide her with lots of cool and exciting stuff, and when I was a teen I wouldn't have cared much about the politics behind it either. Awesome robot, saving the world -> Count me in!

I'm curious how those politics will evolve. Those 3 guys don't seem very evil to me and that eyes-always-shut guy is obviously not trustworthy. Lan and others seem to be pretty decent people though.

I like how Madoka's head was still red from the previous episode, it is little details like those that can make an anime.
I wish I could to my hair like Lan's, it is way cute.

So this is your typical guilty-pleasure fanservice mecha series. The girls are at least easy on the eyes, and this show could be pretty enjoyable as long as it doesn't try to pretend to be deep.

Way way better than him. Actually far less pathetic to say the least but we don't know her past yet so that remains to see but I doubt it's bad. However I do want to know why is her sister so nuts about not letting her pilot the robot? Relative died in it?

I love your nickname for Muginami. It's cool!



whatever....shinji was appropriate in his own way. even the tone of the story was much different. much darker than this one. i find it absurd to even compare the two.

Madoka's personality is just so likable. Those 3 guys doesn't look like they're bad guys, especially when that last guy yelled we gunna die together. Makes it look the complete opposite lol. Hmm I wanna know more about them.

I've seen other mecha series that were dark, but none of them had main characters that were as awful as Shinji.

Also, loving this series. Did no one else find the part where Madoka was wandering about trying to get a signal hilarious? "Ah, a bar!" "Wait..." "Ahh, found it!"

This series isn't spectacular nor innovative, but I still really like it. Madoka's enthusiasm and cuteness just really keeps pulling me in for more. I'm usually picky about my main heroines too, so that's saying a lot. ;D

Also, Nakajima Megumi sings both theme songs, which is epic. I love her voice.

Because they're fighting angels and the main character's dad is a douchebag and one of the other pilots is a bitch while the other is quiet and serious all the time?

And there were humans, and two separate alien factions in NGE too, right?

No, yeah, totally just a cute Neon Genesis.

Looks like Madoka won't be able to drop out of the situation she's in now since she is the only one the mecha will acknowlege as its pilot. Len seems to feel guilty about tricking her, I wonder if Madoka will regret her deicision later on.

Another good episode, though I'm still anxiously waiting for an explanation for everything. Also, Madoka's aunt (didn't catch her name during the brief flashing of missed calls on Madoka's phone) seem pretty cool so far. Definitely hoping to see more of her!

Muginami is introduced, a very cute airhead, fashionista with large tits. She is also the third pilot, I wonder how her fighting style is, but that's for later eps.

Madoka's suit makes her look hot

What's up with all the cliffhangers? I was wanting to see Madoka fight Kirus and Izo since she got her Vox back working and I'm not sure of this but how did she get reception from her cell in the bottom of the sea?

The next episode is Lan and Madoka vs Kirius and Izo


I love these girls in there suits, really sexy

I'm going to give this one more episode before i drop it. Madoka pisses me off how easily she can be manipulated. Also why is it that in every anime where they need to recruit the recruiters seem so ungrateful.

Everyone except for Madoka and her concerned cousin, everyone is kind of like uhmm...an asshole don't you think? Yeah let's throw her in a robot because she's a powerful pilot but let's not tell her anything about what's happening. Then let's just throw her in mission after mission because she can't say no. If she does resist, tell her the fate of the planet is in her hands. Jerks.
