If only that first scene had been real.

Acoustic Try, Unite was lovely. Good end to a good (first half of) series.

Weird to see people complaining when this season was obviously just to set the foundations for the second. There were glimpses of really good stuff and a few questions asked. Really liked the characters and it looked/sounded pretty. Can't wait for season 2.

Oh if they left the romance in this could have been awesome.

7/10 and one of the better shows this season for sure.

Loved this anime so much. Fantastic end.

Great music, some of the best animation Ive ever seen for a TV broadcast in recent memory. Loveable characters and an interesting plot (although they didnt get into it much).

Definetly became one of my favourites. Really enjoyable to watch, and I can't wait for S2.

Suprised at how low the overall rating is though :X but everyone has their own opinions I suppose...

Yume you might be on to something. Im thinking Asteria is one that shutdown Midori(Vox Aura). When I watched this, I felt like there was a gigantic hole from last to the beginning of this ep. Im happy they showed the last bit of the fight.

Cant wait for Season 2!!
If she did then she might not realize it yet cause I did not see that yet. Yeah the shutdown had to be done else big shit was to happen most likely.

If she is like WTF at the symbol then she might not realize loads but can do a lot.

omgawd. This is the surprised anime of the season for me. I had doubts this was gonna be moe and silly without much going on but I love it so much.

It's got likable characters, my kind of comedy, an interesting story, and great animation quality. Bonus points for shoujo ai/yuri factor too.

I agree with you guys who mentioned Neon Genesis Evangelion vibes from this episode. Image in spoiler haha.


I think with the legend of the 3 voxes being evil it's possible that the girls friendship could be torn apart in the sequel. We still don't know what Mugi's brother really want besides wanting to destroy the voxes so this means a 3 way possible conflict could arise. Of course Madoka aligns with Earth, Lan with her faction, and Mugi with her brother repeating the tragedy of the legend.

I'm really interested in what that cute chairman's story. It appears the universe is in some sort of loop by her correcting itself from failures until somebody like Madoka comes along to try (successfully) fix it?

Wow great series.

10/10 I really enjoy it. Looking forward to OVA and sequel.

I actually agree with Kerozinn. This is bland compared to others in this season.
But I won't go as far as LOL at other people though. We all have our own preferences.

Overall it was decent but not exciting. So I gave it 6/10.

I will watch the second season to see how they plot will develop.

Lately I have been unable to enjoy this show as much as I used to when it started, but this was another great episode again! Having my yuri goggles on MAXIMUM by default resulted me declaring Madoka and Lan a couple. Loved the bye-bye scene and all the plot hooks. 5/5.

I wanted to give this anime an 8/10, but since the middle of it was subpar I could only award it 7/10. An entertaining mecha series, with two great characters, but quite a lot of potential wasted.

Pretty lame ending for a pretty lame show. While the twin confessions were fun, it went downhill from there. Considering this is a robot show, it seemed like a weak way to end the season. A light-hearted, incoherent mess. Not the worst show of the season but not a good one. At this point, I don't feel any need to watch the second season.

It's a bit sad that the only great thing about this anime was the OP. I liked the first few and last few episodes. The middle was horrible. It even ruined some characters like Madoka. The only bright side was Lan. If she wasn't there, the whole anime would have sucked because of that Mugi slut.

This episode was a little bit disappointing. The Vilugulio guy went down too fast, and wasn't even defeated by the yuri trio. Nice job on being defeated by an NPC. I'm glad that the guy trio will now live on earth, so that season 2 will have a bigger cast (just three girls ain't enough sadly).

Overall, it was okay, but just for one use IMO. I'll watch the second season for sure. The only downside is that Lan left saying that it's difficult to come to earth again, and few months later she comes again. But that's the second season's problem, so 6/10 for this season.

Hmm... I was expecting more from this last episode because it was rather a weak end to the first season and into the next season. Compared to the last episode when it was at the climax, this episode immediately fell flat from that climax.

Overall, the first season of this anime was decent, but it did not wow me in any way to fully immerse myself in it, and at times it went off tangent here and there. The characters (especially the main ones) were okay, but they did not make an impression for me to love them. They were a bit dry, no? The visuals and the music were good though.

Last episode and overall anime rating: 6/10.

The scene with Madoka and Lan waving back and forth was sad and cute at the same time. I was hoping she'd just be around the corner and not actually leave. T_T

I still hate Muginami. Just not as much anymore. I carry on my hopes that she dies in the second season, though, that would probably ruin the whole "We need 3 pilots to run these things".

Also, to see the second season come up so quick put a smile on my face. Not having to wait a whole year for more Lan is acceptable. :D

I have no idea how this is rated a 7 and change here on MAL. I mean seriously? To each their own I suppose...

To me this was a fantastic first season. Really really enjoyed it. Music, animation, and plot (thus far) were above average. I'm giving it a solid 9/10.

Bittersweet. Pretty decent ending to part 1 but sucks that we have to wait an entire season for part. It was a fairly touching finale in that their trio split up. Emotional departure between Lan and Madoka. I still don't get Muginami...

I will miss this show each week until July!

Nice ending, but overall it was an UNINTERESTING and mostly BORING anime.

Although the ending was pretty well done, it doesn't change the other 11 episodes.

This anime fails on so many levels of proper storytelling, I could write an essay about it.

But I digress, the animation was so superb and Lan and Madoka are a great pair of characters.

Unfortunately, everything else was terrible.........4/10

I rate anime based on the whole product, NOT one episode.

I probably won't bother with Season 2.....this anime just wasn't my taste.

I thought it was a decent anime I give it a 7.5/10. I love the soundtrack and the visuals. Had a few things I hadn't seen in an anime. It didn't really go all out in the action, drama or jokes. It had a little bit of everything and you know what? That is what made it enjoyable for me. Yes it's story telling wasn't particularly great. In fact I found that the direction in some episodes was a little off, but it didn't really distract as much as to make me want to stop watching it. The characters weren't terrible either. They weren't particularly deep or sophisticated, but they weren't also annoy-ling bad a la Shu or Inori from Guilty Crown or those twits from K-On. For the most part they were very likable. I hope the 2nd season is better.

Watched Lagrange for possible gay scenes. Got what I wanted, especially episode 12. That confession scene, all those hand holding moments. This shit should be labelled as pornographic. Watching the new episode as soon as it was released was worth it for that.

Overall the anime was interesting. But that's probably just because I loved all the subtext in it. Can't wait for the 2nd part and the OVA! Maybe Lan and Madoka will actually get together then, but that's just wishful thinking on my part, and that infamous no-romance tweet (which apparently didn't state whether he stated if he meant no het or no yuri). I can only hope for the best.

Grrr.. I hate it when they do a cliff-hanger and the next episode starts out like "And now for something completely different...". And Villagiulio died pretty suddenly and quickly - even a full-blown villain wouldn't deserve that. Well, that's what you get for trying to kill Madoka (among others) :-P Yoko surviving was pretty obvious, but better than her dying IMO.

It truly was a bit weak for a final episode, especially as it raised more questions than it answered. But considering that the second season is already a done deal and scheduled to air pretty soon, it's just a checkpoint anyway.

As a whole, I got what I expected. A cute and fun show about girls with mechas that doesn't get lost in depression and mindfuck. As I predicted after the first episode, it's not masterpiece material but it IS fun. I've been through a lot of disappointments in anime recently, but this is one of these shows that keep me going :-)

I think it was implied that Villaguillio survived. His mech was trashed and then Muginami escaped with him. If you notice she's on the KISS ship near the end. They just told her to flee, because of her ties with the rebels.

I would assume near the start of S2 they will smooth things over with La Garite as far as Muginami coming back with the Ignis goes. She's not so much with Kiss, as indebted to Villa for saving her as a child. So she isn't personally invested in his battle.

Have to admit, i thought i skipped an episode at the beginning but man did i love that opening scene. It may not have ended on a cliff hanger but all the same, things seem poised for an interesting part two with the amount of questions that still remain. In particular the symbol Asteria's chest meaning the possibility of a fourth Vox or maybe she was a former pilot.

Overall i wasn't looking forward to this series like the majority of Anime from the winter season but i was pleasantly surprised at how much i enjoyed it. Great characters, decent action, entertaining and to put the icing on the proverbial cake very heavy on the Shoujo-ai subtext. Bring on the OVA & S2.

Lol i thought i was watching the wrong episode at the start.

Anyways what to say about this anime? It wasn't really memorable but wasn't that unmemorable either, it had its ups and downs but i was still more entertained throughout the series than not so i'll give it a 6/10. Waiting and watching second season though.

Whoa that whole flower ordeal during the fight was beautiful to watch.

Astelia and that symbol on her chest! Hmm.. she says she was the one who started this whole cycle. I am assuming that she means the Rin-ne stuff. I am very interested in finding out more about her, not to mention that girl that Madoka saw on that beach. (who Astelia seems to know as well)

This was very enjoyable and such a nice relaxing anime to watch. Looking forward to next season!

At first i though i skipped an episode or something.

The problem with this show is that it wasted time and end-up going nowhere. Yeah i know there is another season but that doesn't mean the first should show almost nothing. The best part was the vivid colors and art along with some Lan humor. Characters weren't dislikeable but not amazing ether and the plot well i already said that. The whole thing could have been put in 3-4 episodes really.

Loved the flower pedals falling down and the huge flower that was about to show up in the clouds, until it stopped. Kinda curious on what would of happened if it finished and then the Fleet obliterating everyone made me smile.

the beginning was stupid. it went from the battle to nothing then back to the battle.

ugh. I hate when they pull confusing shit. Muginami vanishes and there's no explanation till the end almost.

this series as a whole rather sucked. those 3 bro's became good but barely had any interaction with the main girls in a while. I got the impression Lan's brother isn't so good.

I guess they wanted this to make you want to watch the 2nd season, but I just have apathy. it was boring most of the way and the ending sucked. it gave little closure as well.

About 5 mins in I convinced myself I'd missed an episode and had to go back to 11 to check.. apparently not.

Kinda hoping s2 fills in some of the blanks thrown in by this rather disjointed final ep of s1. Meh, I'll keep watching.
