Really good first episode, I loved the battle in the firs half.
Ah, Amy is so cute. And Red seems to be the strong type character.

Good first episode, kinda was a bit rushed at the start and a lot of things went fast, but it was full of action with some blistering animation. This episode was a good start none the less. Then a change of pace that our main hero and his robot his stranded on Earth for 6 months, and is met by skeptical people. When he took the girl as a hostage and the robot tried to translate her, while she was cursing our main hero was hilarious. Great touch there. Then we have this great moment where everyone is pointing at our hero with their guns, but bam Chamber, which I think that is the name of our robot comes to even the score. Good game, humans.

Well this episode was good and I hope the rest are good as well, and only 12 episodes? Hmm.

Don't forget, there will be an OVA with each of the BD boxes with 4 episodes in them so in fact 15 episodes! The colors are so gorgeous, I can't wait to see this on BD! I think this one will be getting imported by me... time to redo my July order again...

That's an awesome intro, dunno about the rest of the story, but kudos to the director for this first episode.

And the second came out today too? Nice, let's wait for the subs.

BTW, am I overhyping or are there several promising series this season?

Pretty good episode, it's not like in Psycho Pass when after the first episode I already knew it was gonna be awesome, this can turn out a great anime or a mediocre one imo, but since it's Urobuchi I can't help but be optimist about it.

Pretty good first episode. I usually struggle getting into Mecha and I feel the first half had way too much information given out, it got pretty boring. 2nd half got a lot better for me though and the art is amazing. Will definitely hang around as it's Gen. In the first 15 minutes 100s of people died, I really shouldn't be surprised.

4/5

The quality is reeeeally nice to see (obviously since it's BD but whatever).
I'm really looking forward to this, you can't help but be optimistic that it'll be amazing, especially since Urobutcher is wrote this. I think I like it more than Attack On Titan, but that's only because of preference.

So is it 11 or 12 episodes excluding the OVA?

And is it for certain that it's not going to be a 2-cour show?

So yeeeah, the first half of the episode was bright lights and fighting space vaginas with future technobable. That part of the episode was horrible. We get no sense of the stakes and well mean space vaginas don't make the most compelling enemies when you don't really know what the hell is going on.

Second half of the episode was better. The animation was nice without causing seizures. It seemed like fun and it's interesting they're actually on planet earth. Hopefully the series will stay more like this or if it's going back to space battles it'll actually bother to explain things.

Overall, a shaky first episode but it seems like it could be really interesting and good futuristic sci-fi anime is hard to come by so we'll see.

SO far I am am IN LOVE with this anime ohmygee..
The first half I was a little (lot) disappointed because it wasn't what I thought it would be like at all.. But the second half was just what I wanted!
Cute guy, cute girl, advanced space robotics, just a little bit of everything I wanted =]

Edit: Also for the people wondering Crunchy Roll has picked this anime up. So if you want to watch sign up for sure!! Or make a new account with premium for a couple weeks, or borrow a friends account. Anything because it is totally worth the 8$ a month.

ooh, this was one pretty looking series. Story was interesting as well. The animation was top notch too. Let's see if they can keep this up! Between this and Attack on Titan its shaping out to be already much, much better than last season.

A pretty original type of alien they're using in this series. They're like snails and flowers.

Anyway,very interesting so far. I like the premise of Ledo stranding on an unknown world (Earth that is) where the technology is way behind theirs. Appealing art too!

Looking forward to more!

?

Also I'll have to concur with others here, the start was rather lacking. Second part was brilliant though, the ending was good making you want more; especially as I've seen the synopsis for the next episode.

Ah man this was really good, the beginning with the whole galaxy fight might've been a bit too long for my liking but still, very nice once he woke up on Earth.

I'm curious how our main character will develop from here on and what'll happen, the plot seems to be able to go in every direction at this point. I just hope not every one will die/get slaughtered, but seeing Urobutcher worked on this I'm not sure... I can't wait for the second episode :)

Really liked the first half (I am a sucker for mecha battles), and a not bad second half. Will stick with it but I hope it goes back to the mecha battles again.

Man, I usually don't even watch mecha, but this was SO. DAMN. PRETTY. *u*
From the alien design to Earth, it's eye-candy everywhere. I just hope the plot can follow.

Oh and the main female char looks like an Airbender Nausicaa from the Waterworld.

Really interesting first episode. I wonder how the main character will learn to adapt to his primitive surroundings. Hopefully it will be as funny as when he was trying to decipher the natives' language! XD Anyway, great first episode and I look forward to seeing how this story unfolds.

Nice start! :) Nothing special so far but it hooked me on.

And that scene with scrambled languages was executed greatly.

I guess MC and his mecha saves Earth from invasion of those fungus-star-creatures in the end. And he leads the Earth to second technical evolution.

Kind of confusing start, and I thought it was extremely obvious that they were on earth the whole time, it wasn't really much of a plot twist.
Great animation though and a pretty good start to the show, I am hoping it will end up as good as some more of Urobachi's work.
