When they kept referring to the "legend" earlier in the episode about the "fate of people who pilot a Vox" I thought it was going to be something like a death sentence. Kind of like "You get great power and can help people but then you die at an accelerated rate."
I am thinking that or I am thinking the Vox takes control of its host at one point to use its vitality in its destruction. What exactly does it have as consequence that made Lan hesitate is interesting to be seen as to why it affected Lan more than anything.


The 2nd one most likely is correct, I can't see a series like this having mecha that dooms it's pilot to an early doom. However there could be a way for Madoka, Mugi, and Lan to supress or even prevent themselves from being controlled by the Vox mid series or at the end right before or during the time when the process actually starts to happen. I can see that happening in the second season or second split whichever terminology you prefer.

Madoka is still my favorite character. She's just so happy go lucky. Even when fighting she's singing and dancing and minding where she lands to avoid harming people or destroying property. =D

Len finally overcame her fear to control her Vox and she was able to active it's true power! I think next episode the third character (the pilot of the orange Vox) will be introduced properly and the team will be complete. According to the guy in the end it seems like the three Vox's were originally intended for destrucion or something? Now I'm even more curious!

This show is fun because the main girl has a funny strong loud personality and the other girl is cute and nice. Her bigger sister is cool too. That alien guy isn't very sympathetic though and am not talking about the ones they where fighting with.

Also i love the art and technical department. Nice artwork and coloring, is very pleasant to they eye.
Especially during the important scenes lol.

Btw, how come we see skin in this scenes but when they are not piloting the skin parts take the color of their suits?

Kind of disappointed that they turned Madoka into one of those one track minded happy-go-lucky morons who just happens to have the natural instinct to fight.... in a very terrible way. At least Lan is totally awesome.

We ain't seen nothing yet on this girl. Again, better than a dozen emo protag pilots.

I agree with you 100%. The sound department is really nice too. I'm loving the BGM and the seiyuu are doing great work too.

Dno why but I just love Madoka's MARU! She's looking to be a great char tbh. Still looking forward to seeing Muginami though, I think she's got great potential. Lan is just meh.

Lol Kirius overthinking stuff, she just doesn't know how to fight with robots properly. Poor guys, they don't seem to be bad at all, damnit Madoka just ignored his request lol.

So there are 3 Voxs and they've all got a legend of becoming demons taking over the world!? Hmm very interesting... Well now we know what Lan was scared of.

Really good mecha stuff. Still relying heavily on Madoka though.

In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same.

For some odd reason, every time I see Madoka does the "MARU" move, I start hearing Ranka saying "kira!" in my head... Oh god I can't get it out of my head now...

I really like this show. It does not try to be more than it is, a decent and well balanced mecha show. I didn't like the song in the middle and that heavy exposition from Lan, but otherwise it was pretty good 4/5.

Ya I am dropping this show. I don't like the story at all, and the opening song is horrible. I like the ending song tho. I just don't like how the story is moving and I HATE how the main character acts. Singing a crappy song while fighting? No thanks. Dropped for good. 2/5 for the episode.

I don't feel the need to drop, but this just isn't that interesting so far. cute girls in big mechas and somehow without training or experience they can fight aliens that look exactly like humans!

oh and the main girl is getting less appealing. maybe the other 2 won't be so generic.

the bad guys don't even seem ..... bad. "hey we don't want to fight. just come to our planet and talk? we don't want trouble" and the girl replies "NO. you guys suck! you messed up peanuts."

what a great diplomat she would make.

This is one of the few anime where I've actually taken a liking to the main character! Normally I tend to favor supporting characters, but for some odd reason I find Madoka really likable :)

I still find Nakaizumi Youko (Madoka's cousin) to be the most interesting by far though!

Team Yuri is up 2-0 against Team BL. Ahh I should stop calling them that but it's the first thing that pops up in my mind whenever I see the two sides fighting.

Solid action in this one but, do these Vox have any weapons? Those would be useful is mech fights.

A bit different, this.

Yeah, the butler does seem a bit dicey. Could be that I just finished Log Horizon 2, but there's something about his smile that makes me disinclined to trust him. _Someone_ is being played.

The Legend.
If both cultures share that legend, I'm not so sure about the culture that will field the Voxes despite knowing of it.
I can understand wanting to keep it from coming to pass; the lads may be opposition, but they aren't evil.
That the one deliberately used non-lethal methods demonstrates that.
There's crucial background that hasn't been revealed (like, duh!) concerning the conflict.

And, I can't help but remember the comment from one of the dudes back in Ep 1, about it not looking like a world that had already died once.

Just how old are these cultures, anyway?
Did they develop the Ovids themselves, or are they leftover tech from a previous culture?
The Vox that she bonded with 10 years previously, how long had it been there prior to that, is it left from when Earth was devastated before? Or was it brought by the current bunch?

Just what all did her cousin figure out on her own about all of this?
And how much direction was she giving her as a result of that knowledge over the years?
It's clear that she didn't want her to end up piloting the Ovid, but was she subtly preparing her for it if it actually came to pass?
How does the Jersey Club tie into that; who came up with the idea in the first place?

Note: It was a KHORmine compilation of suplexes in anime that led me to this series. That bit in Ep 1 was perfect, just perfect.
