Definitely reminds me of Vividred I mean even the synopsis kind of sound the same:

But suddenly, the world is visited by danger. An unknown enemy, the Alone, appear, targeting the Manifestation Engine. As none of their weapons worked and they fell into despair, a lone girl takes a stand wearing a red "Palette Suit" which wields a great, hidden power.

I'm still gonna check it out though.

"May those who defy their fate be granted glory."

Yes, Symphogear and Vividred vibe here too.

Vividred season 2?

If you really want to fit in, just put Legend of the Galactic Heroes in your top 5 and have it be the only 10-rated anime in your list.

Read the synopsis: "That sounds promising."
Opened the link and saw the character design: "That's how you destroy a show with potential."

Will not watch.

I would expect a skin-tight battle armor, ridiculous sci-fi weaponry, pseudo-yuri relationship between the team leader and her second-in-command, a traitor heroine who gets redeemed with simple sob story, and training arc consisting of beach and bikini.

Other than that, i'm not looking forward to it.

I really wonder how one could make this synopsis more generic. It's so generic that it's not even able to "send humanity into despair" ― over how bad this is going to be.

You never know what to expect out of shows like these. I mean, it all sounds stupid, looks stupid, and ends up being stupid. But then there are cases like Symphogear that are almost the same, yet so awesome. Please make these girls dance or sing or something during action scenes! Become Symphogear!

What was that stuff towards the end like around 1:20 of the video? Looked like a video game...some sort of attempt at 3D? Anyways, not sure this is something I would like.

This series is promoted as a surreal gag anime, not an action one.

It seems this series is a 3D anime.

Gonna skip this. Vividred Operation was fine as a cliche plot but really, there isn't anything else better to offer except for its FRIENDSHIP IS MAGICAL part. Symphogear + Symphogear G isn't any better but I've to admit the ludicrous plot and its dramatic action does make me smirk a little.

And the design for this looks pretty bad. So no.

I've always... always been watching you... This whole time... Because you were there... That's why I was able to try hard. So you could have some balance! So you wouldn't treat me like a kid! So you would see me as an actual girl! Even while you were gone... You were right here! You were right here in my heart!
