1st episode was not bad. Better than what I expected.

Also, is this really slice of life anime ? Does not feel like one

That was kind of boring for a first episode, I don't know about this but I'll give it a couple of more episodes.

Wow, that was so "meh" i'm actually impressed.

It felt like they tried to give the viewers exposition with too much dialogue in this one, it was veery tiring and the way it was done made everything pretty boring. And even with that, it was still kinda difficult to follow )^: The comedy was eh, the drama was ehh. The characters? None of them caught my attention yet, but maybe that'll change.

I'm still trying to imagine how does one build a city in Jupiter tho??;;

Ahahah that twist at the end was so funny! xD
I wonder why the score for this isn't even a 7 yet since it was a nice first episode but I guess this needs time to grow on us. Maybe some boring parts are the reason but I think the twist at the end made up for that.

Was laughing my arse off.

The entire episode was a bit too fast-paced and too many characters and situations were thrown at us in too short a time. And why in the world was the exposition put at the end of the episode instead of at the beginning?

I'll give it a couple more episodes, but already it feels like a toned-down, non-violent version of Captain Earth, less the great music of course.

It was okay(not bad but not great neither) on all points, and that female lead (I think) is gorgeous.

And the MC is really irritating. I usually can't watch series that have irritating MCs so he'd better get less obnoxious. If he tones down a bit I think he will be fun to watch tho

This was overall pretty underwhelming. In fact, I found it boring for the most part.

However, I liked the track at the end when the transfer student was talking. Really nice jazz.

And the Oreimo art-style has me nostalgic a little bit too.

Those large sums of money are mind-boggling.

Kiryu reminded me of Kanie from Amagi Brilliant Park, and I must say, Iris in that jumpsuit reminded me heavily of Ayanami. Anyway, I'll probably end up watching this just for those two.

This is the big problem.
the transfer student is the brother of Iris.
it seems that Iris was send for his brother to school to investigate the team.
She leaked information to his brother the new transfer student, however as it Iris is a spy, they pretended they not if know.

Apparently this show won’t be a rom-com. There seemed to be a misunderstanding or mistake according to this tweet.

https://mobile.twitter.com/clcr_project/status/617025200270413824

Seems like they are aiming to focus on betrayal and intrigue rather than the romcom part.

Well this is the 'most likely to crash and burn' of the season, should be entertaining at least.

All of this. Putting the exposition at the end was so dumb lol. And I got Captain Earth vibes as well, and not for the right reasons.

First of all I didn't twist anyone's word, re-read your post. "It's dumb lol" is not legit criticism for a literate person. It's okay not to like a directing process (and I won't comment on wanting a boring-and-done-a-thousand-time expostion at the beginning), but calling it dumb just because you don't understand it is far from being constructive.

Also I wasn't particularly singling you out, I invite anyone who thinks the exposition should be at the beginning to think things through more carefully and try rewatching the episode.

And while we're at it have a read people:

Talk about bombing a concept.

Uninteresting character and boring premise (who wants to see which one of those dull characters got fired in the end?).

I already wanted to facepalm when she dodged all those asteroids. Aasteroid belt may contain billions of asteroids but they are spread over a huge area instead of grouped so closely together that you have to maneuver your ship like an F1 racer.


yeah as a space nut Sci-fi's always drive me a little bit crazy with things like that, if you were near one asteroid in an asteroid belt there would be no others in visual range, butttt i guess that's where the word FICTION comes in so I shouldn't complain too much.
I like the background of the world they are creating, some of the humor made me chuckle, I HATE the asshole they rescued, definitely think they are wishing they left him there and saved themselves the effort, he is probably going to be the biggest reason I drop this if I do end up doing so.
since I came into this with no real clue of what was going to happen I just saw it on nyaa and went "go on then" I'm not disappointed by misrepresentation, not the best thing I've watched so far this season (how could it be, with new non non biyori out??) but so long as it doesnt fall into some harem pitfall or loose all sight of the sci-fi world it's in i'll give it a shot for sure!

Generally I dislike the whole "kids outsmarting the adults every time" premise so prevalent in anime, but I like my scifi a lot so I will give this a couple of more episodes. I'm a bit surprised about how much hate it's getting so far though. Anime original stuff has it rough on MAL.

I loved this, but for all the wrong reasons. Its so bad, but the direction of the entire thing makes it so over the top and nonsensical and i can't take it seriously. Its like the director took the script and made it into an unintentional comedy. The fast as fuck pacing, the awkwardly placed exposition, the whole retarded plot, it all culminates together into this brilliant mess that I can't help but love to watch.

Seriously looking forward to the next episode.

I actually liked this first episode. Or at least I'm liking the setting of the story, don't know the plot and characters enough yet to like or dislike. But since the setting interests me, I'm actually looking forward to episode 2~

All that money though, damn. 15 billion on that plane prototype versus the 7 million ransom lol

Some of the dialogues were kinda over the top and cringed-worthy but this has the potential to go somewhere. I'll stick around.

Hopefully, with the pragmatic MC? here, we won't be getting much more of Iris' idiotic unrealistic bullshit anymore. Realistically, she would either be dead or kicked out already. At least give us some insight and development into why she would act this way instead of just the usual retarded "rule of instant awesome action girl" bullshit that's plaguing the anime/manga industry.

I'm a huge sci-fi fan: Star Trek, Dr. Who, Star Wars, Battlestar Galactica, the works.

However, this series is confusing me, I don't know what to make of it... yet. Iris Shirasaki is somewhat interesting. She reminds of me Ayanami Rei. I hope she's not some cheap clone of her. I like girls like her too.

I hope this series doesn't waste its awesome sci-fi premise with a boring and flat story because that's what the first episode was like: fucking flat and boring.

Also, no wonder that Kiryu asshole reminded me of a more mature, cooler, jerkier version of Kyosuke from OREIMO. The character designs were done by Hiro Kanzaki.

Went into it expecting semi-harem situation with a bunch of useless eye-candy boob girls. Pleasantly surprised!

Characters seem solid. Plot seems interesting. I would really love it if they kept going down the finance route :D Very few tech anime actually explores the monetary side of building massive fuck-off spaceships so this would be fun.
