Freezing

Decades into the future, humanity is under siege by an alien race known as the Novas. These inhuman beings leave devastation in their wake whenever they appear, with the efforts to stave them off becoming known as Nova Clashes. Young women known as "Pandoras" and young men known as "Limiters" are implanted with stigmata to give them superhuman powers and are trained in military academies, where they must learn to work together if humanity is to have a chance of surviving.

Freezing tells the story of Kazuya Aoi as he sets out for his first day at the West Genetics military academy, right when a battle royale is being undertaken by the Pandoras. It is here that he mistakes Satellizer el Bridget—a powerful Pandora known as the "Untouchable Queen"—as his deceased sister and embraces her. Though he costs her the match, she finds that his touch doesn't drive her away and decides to take him as her Limiter. The only question is whether or not their partnership can survive the machinations of their upperclassmen and the impending battle with the Novas…

This was a big right turn away from my general faire, but I can't say that I'm disappointed but I took it.

The amount of fan service is not subtle, but I think it kind of comes along with this kind of creation - specifically because you expect nearly grown women in a super society with super abilities to be super developed. I've seen fan service done for a lot less reasons.

The amount of fighting is extensive and kind of gets old with the same wash, rinse, repeat situation in every episode. There is 0% development of almost anything outside of that. I was pleasantly ... pleased and did enjoy the fact that the initially perceived protagonist based on other tropes within the genre doesn't end up being the protagonist or even maybe a solid sub protagonist. There's an existence and attempts to play voice of reason, but even in this show, you don't have much. There's one purpose and one purpose only, and that's to fight.

I am curious what the other installments are going to be like, but this laid the groundwork for what I might expect when I go to those later on. I don't think I would recommend it as a top show for anyone, but this is a nice change if you are not typically interested in battle or sci-fi topics.

Mixed Feelings

~Worth a watch if you like tig ole' biddies~

It's a pretty okay 2010's ecchi. The world is mildly interesting, and the pandoras are really cool, but the action scenes leave much to be desired.

The MC is absolutely insufferable... He has the emotional intelligence of a cabbage, and is absolutely clueless. Even moreso than other ecchi/harem protagonists.

The supporting cast is the highlight of the show. It however greatly lacks substance, and doesn't really come to any conclusion.

The other redeeming part of the show is the genral concept of the whole thing. Living bioweapons make for an interesting sci-fi concept, and making those bioweapons cute anime girls ... is something that gives this show a distinctly "anime" feel. There are at least a couple badass moments, and some interesting design elements and choices that do make the show enjoyable overall.

Even with there being good points, the low points are still glaring and it definitely can not be considered good. As much as this word sucks as a descriptor, this show is most certainly "mid".

"how to sexually bully the hottest girl in school: randomly chopping limbs off hot girls" the anime.

If your time is precious, the above line about sums up the show for you.

Technically, there is some sort of loose premise in the background that explains why boys and girls are supposed to pair up as Pandoras and Limiters. However, the plot is very, very straight forward of just fighting monsters that chop up girls AND this plot only really exists in the background and is by no means anything intricate. Most of the show is some really unamusing (and at times cringe) bullying of one shy girl ... with a history of sexual abuse at home. The first season does not tell the whole story and spends way more time than necessary focusing on all sorts of ways to bully one chick.

No themes, no exploration of any novel ideas. No thinking involved.

Also, the characters don't really change at all. There is hardly illustration of the main character's inner minds. This thing would have done well if it had sex scenes so it could have been a good hentai but unfortunately, by trying to sell itself as a legitimate narrative with ecchi elements, it really barked up the wrong tree.
