| omg they didn't explain everything on a silver platter, this show must be crap. Kagura89 said: Hana-kei said: Nope, not Takeshi Obata doing the original character design but the two siblings Misa Mizuya and Hiroka Mizuya (rumor floating that these two used to work with Obata but idk if it true) but yeah the art is similar ^_^;;by the way, I couldn't believe that Obata Takeshi, the author of Death Note is the designer of characters. maybe that's because these characters have colorful hairs unlike Death Note or Hikago or Bakuman. It's funny hnw Star Drivers designs are more in line with Obata's than the Bakuman anime is lol, |

| Is it just me or is the whole "secret fighting place in the school" a rehash from Utena? |
| Ok™ |
| Dude. FABULOUS! overload :O |
| Don't forget. Always, somewhere, someone is fighting for you. As long as you remember her, you are not alone. |

| Pretty epic lmfao.. I was waiting for this type of show, this is gonna be without a doubt the best anime of this fall. |
| When he changed clothes, I thought it looked like a mahou shoujo transformation...no; it was a like a mahou-shounen transformation! ...and the mecha's pose looked kinda fruity, if you know what I mean. I have mixed feelings about this first ep, so I'll continue a few more to see if it's something that will satiate my palate from my initial expectations. |
| Animation is great. That's all I could say for now.. Maybe a little more explanation could do.. it's good.. but for the best anime of this fall?.. Let's still see what happens.. there's so many great animes to choose from this season.. |
 |
| It was a good start for the series. :) Though the sparkly magical transformation was a lil too much for me, the battle was pretty awesome and I'm expecting great things from Star Driver. ^^ |
 |
| I literally spat my drink at the first mention of "a fabulous school life". This show is gonna be one hell of a fruity ride - and I think I'm gonna love every single minute of it. garfield15 said: havsie said: Is it just me or is the whole "secret fighting place in the school" a rehash from Utena?

Anyways, I fucking loved this. Totally over the top, and sparkles everywhere. Loving the soundtrack, the animation, and the voice actors. Everything has met my expectations so far. It's nice to have another fabulous mecha show to look forward to on my otherwise dreary Sundays. |
Good . |
| The animation is so reminiscent of TTGL... Fantastic first episode hopefully it can continue that way for the rest. :) |
 |
| Oh man, i just know i'm going to love this show. |
| Lelouch and Setsuna VA's ehll yea! but i get the feeling that theres a love triangle and sugata is gonna get cheated by that red haired fag I MEAN COME ON ITS LELOUCH! wheres C.C. when you need her... |
 |
| wierd start but ok im down |
 |
| Had a Fabulogasm while watching the show. I lost some of my manliness after watching this. |
prophetic said: I know somebody already tried explaining the end of the ep, but I'm still confused. Did the protagonist already know beforehand that he was the Galactic Pretty Boy? I mean, how else would he have been able to summon that mecha and pilot it so well? I guess what I'm trying to say is that I expected a lot more background information on the plot. It's the first episode of a 25-ep series, don't expect too much exposition :O |

The whole thing is kinda messy for now but don't worry, sooner it will be explained though. Utena did through that in earlier episodes but became made sense later on. The fact that Takuto is crazy enough to swim across from mainland to Southern Cross island hinted that Takuto is not your average teenager, that what we can get from him for now. Story-wise is pretty good. The dialogue is sharp and more about interplay between the characters rather than going around in circles explaining the plot. EDIT: reading the translated "World of Star Driver" pdf file would be helpful to someone that feel hazy about the overall situation. |

He didn't know that HE was the galactic pretty boy, but he definitely knows what's going on (or a part of it), so when he got to the action he wasn't surprised. Also it's the first episode, don't expect info dump on the first week. |
| just kept thinking in my mind while watching this episode, "wtf is going on..." |
| This is the silliest anime I've seen yet from Bones. I burst out laughing at, "YOU'RE the Galactic Pretty Boy?" I'm pretty sure I'm going to drop this. |
p r o f i l e 👀 |
| This is so FABULOUS, in a good way. Your galaxy will shine! |
 |
| Finally, something that's up there with Gurren-Lagann on the over-the-top awesomeness scale. While i'm not into these bishounen shows this one reminds me too much of TTGL, I'll have to see where they go with it... =D |
 |
| Yes finally a epic fast pace mecha show is here. |
| Hum, I don't really get the /fabulous/ thing, anyone care to explain? xD |
 |
| That robot looks really feminine and the main char looks awesome when he transforms into golden hair. He is like saying 'bishounen'. lol This is so gayy and lolzy. dont get eut teh hellz is going on. |

These scenes, plus the whole "It's a PENCHI! It's a PINCHI! It's a PAAANCHI!!!" and "GINGA BISHOUNEN!!!" has totally made my day. |
| This Galatic Pretty Boy business is fabulous. No, really. |
 |
| I liked it, the colour pallet was great and the mystery aspects of this anime were done quite well. The episode had a lot of content, but the pace felt fine and in no way was it rushed. For those people who can't understand it, this was 10x easier to understand than Super Robot Wars OG: The Inspector... Great songs for the anime too, but BONES definitely spent 95% of the OP and ED animation budget on the Soul Eater Repeat Show new OP and ED instead. |

| i'm now laughing my ass off reading some of the comments here and thinking that such people exists whom want everything explained to them in EPISODE 1?! geez, hahaha i can't believe they want the whole story in just an episode, go watch your animes who explain everything then and ruin everything leaving no sense of thinking to your mind, a proof of being so dumb, i guess. |
| Simplistic beauty can't be appreciated by someone who looks for something grand in everything he watch. |
| Not sure if I like this or not yet. Episode 2 should be a better indication of the quality. |
| My current anime list is grossly, out of date, just so you know. skullhunterj said: if u expect me to put on my working writing skill on forums like this...think again, Grammer Nazi!!! I hate people. |
| it was defintiv a good start. |
 |
| It wasn't even hard to understand? I loved every single minute of it, definitely my favorite for the season along with the magnificent Bakuman. |

While i'm not into these bishounen shows this one reminds me too much of TTGL, I'll have to see where they go with it... =D why do people assume that ttgl is the only over the top mecha show? i mean fuck, the whole super robot genre is over the top. we had shin mazinger last year and a few years back, godannar, new getter robo, diebuster, koutetsushin jeeg, and even further back, getter robo armageddon, mazinkaiser, gaogaigar, gaogaigar final. I think i can at least speak and say that both gaogaigar and getter robo armageddon are some of the craziest and funnest shit I ever experienced. Star Driver doesn't seem to even scratch part of these two shows yet, but we'll know sooner or later. Oh yeah, the catch for guys are pretty girls, I guesssssssssss but i usually don't care about them and I rather watch hentai if I want girls, but honestly, it's not that the characters are gay, it's just set in a very gay atmosphere and tone (including the old definition as well). Talk about an over exaggeration of colours. |

| "How did you get in without a mask?" that line was hilarious hahaha. This show is fabulous! |
| ''Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ~♥FABULOUS♥~Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ'' |
| I have no idea what exactly just happened. And 'Galactic Pretty Boy', okay... they have officially run out of good titles. But animation and character designs were amazing so I'm going to stick with it for at least a couple of more episodes. |
| Seems that I fallen in a pattern here, animes that have all these good voice actors are animes that don't seem interest me. Yeah, I'm not going to watch this one. It just seems like any other mecha. |
| Cool animation and cool battle. I think I'll keep watching this one. |
| Wow, haha, seriously. These character designs xD Ginga Bishounen! Kiraboshi! This shit is so fabulous. Well at least the OP's good. And we've got FukuJun and Miyano Mamoru. And apparantly Koshimizu Ami as well, according to the cast list. I guess this season would be lacking in fabulousness if this didn't air now. No wait, we've got lots of fabulous people in LOLHeroes. Also. Why were them maids wearing cat/bunny ears? =3= |
