One of the weirdest first episodes I've ever seen. Such a bizarre humour and genre blend. I dislike the character design.

Interesting start, I already really like it!

I heard it gets really depressing but for now it's pretty cool! I like the action and there were some pretty funny parts. It really makes me want to watch more!

Fue un inicio bastante particular, ya desde el año 2000 conocían la importancia de hablar el inglés de cara al futuro, en cuanto a la acción no fue nada particularmente espetacular pero si me cayeron bien los personajes, Me interesa seguir la historia.
PD: la hija del borracho esta bien buena.

it was a very particular start, even in 2000 they knew the relevance of speaking english face to the future, while in matter of the action, it isn´t nothing very spectacular, but the characters very like it me, i´m honestly interesting in follow this tale.
PD: The drunk-men´s daughter (the nurse) its so kind delicious.

Haven't seen any mecha anime before (unless you count Magic Knight Rayearth, I watched like one ep of it and I'm still reading the manga)... so here goes!

This episode was delightfully weird and well-animated. Amazing that an anime from 2000 has extremely watchable animation compared to the animation quality of a lot of anime nowadays... makes me wonder what the hell happened that made the industry not have so much budget.
Anyway anyway anyway, there's some fanservicey bits/lines here and there, but I've seen much much worse so thankfully it was digestable somehow. The humor, especially when it comes to Marin's fantasies is pretty... interesting. I like Marin already and the action was pretty awesome :)

Judging by this first episode and the fact that there are various recommendations to notably mature magical girl anime (Madoka Magica, Uta Kata, Mai-Hime, Yuki Yuna, Flip Flappers, Lyrical Nanoha), something tells me I'm in for a wild ride lol

Brigadoon sure started off weird and wacky. Lots of humour, most of which doesn't hit and some of which I expect to be reused throughout the series (Here's looking at you Marin's dream/bones gag).

This is giving off Narutaru vibes to me. They are probably nothing alike, but I just got that feeling.

Marin is kinda adorable and awfully energetic. A lot more panty shots than I was expecting. I just wish they weren't old ragged panties tho, lol.

It'll be interesting to see what kind of Monomakia this show can come up with. That first one -the Daruma looking one- had a simple, but effective design and Melan himself looked decent enough, even though the human-like body shape is kinda odd and peculiar.

well shit. i always knew i was attracted to mechas and robots possessing humanoid qualities, but now is not the time to start. shit.

i'm surprised the mc isn't 9 years old or something. the humor is annoying and repetitive it seems, but i did end up laughing on the bicycle chase scene after rewinding and muttering about how idiotic it was. touché.
