Synopsis

The story focuses and revolves around the 108th Guard Squad, stationed in Aomori. A poorly equipped unit with very little military standing, it is often viewed as a 'reject camp' for pilots not making the grade for the elite units based in Hokkaido. The apparent helpless nature of this force is hardly a deterrent for the encroaching enemy armies, ever closing in on both the 108th and the rest of the empire. The young pilots of the 108th, who had dreamed on returning home, are plunged forcefully and unwillingly into a war.

Gunparade Orchestra is the heartwarming tale of Hardboiled Penguin, the greatest character to ever exist in the history of anime.

Hardboiled Penguin is an anthropomorphic penguin in a trenchcoat and fedora. His role in the plot is not dissimilar to that of the famous Greek Chorus. At regular intervals, he stands on the sidelines of the story, where he says something vague, tough and philosophical that might or might not be related to the life and times of mecha pilots who are also high school students. Nobody acknowledges his existence, and he does not talk to anybody. He is the only anthropomorphic character in the entire ...

Mixed Feelings
Preliminary (16/24 eps)
Story: 5 Don't be fooled by the description, the story changes every 8 episodes, the intro movie should be your first warning the moment you see some genetically engineered animals with people riding on top ... this show at least the prequel (March) focused on mechs and one crew. I was turned off by episode 16. Only the first "story" is of any interest as it sort of a poor group to success kinda story. The animals part was lame especially the ending for that story and by the time it got to boats I gave up. Also the mecha team seems to completely ignore ...

Before diving into the anime I should probably explain that this 24 episode show is split into 3 chapters: White, Green and Blue. Normally I wouldn't have any problems regarding an anime being split into different chapters as it isnt something strange... but the problem here emerges from... the chapters are not related at all to eachother besides happening in the same universe, and because they're totally unrelated I will talk about each one separately.

The first chapter that we get to see is the White Chapter, taking the first 9 episodes out of the 24. Albeit being quite the generic sci-fi military plot this is ...
