Production I.G. always amazes me with their visuals. Thank you, Production I.G. Thank you for your amazing visuals. And Urobutcher, I wonder what the death count will be in this (basically, it's up a couple of dozens already if we count those no-names that got killed off in the space battle).

“What she just said relates to reproducing with your mother, as well as fresh excrement.”

So basically, Amy called Red a motherfucking shithead? Wow, that was..... interesting.

Yeah, but keep in mind that this is an original anime and not an adaption, so the whole story will be designed/written for 12 episodes. Madoka was only 12 episodes after all and it was fantastic.

Quite ironic comparison. Both works are written by Urobuchi Gen.

Actually he said "reproducing with your mother" and "sacred excrement". So we can gather that what was said was probably, "You motherfucker!" and "Holy shit!".

Didn't have any expectations about this at all, so watched it to kill time and...actually enjoyed it a lot!;D

You know what? You're right. Maybe Butcher Gen has finally learned to control his seething hatred of his own characters...

Haven't enjoyed a mecha series in a long time. I think I'll enjoy this as long as Urobutcher doesn't murder all the good characters. So I wonder how he'll deal with the language barrier. Will it take a few episodes for him to study it, learn it through a timeskip or just have his mech download the language to his head Matrix-style?

I totally want an AI like Chamber...., this shit is epic win!

Was actually putting off this anime for a while because I saw GenUro was involved. So while I can, I will enjoy the hell out of these initial episode before it goes to complete shit like it always does with GenUro.

So far, 4 airing animes watched, 4 airing animes rated over 7..., could this be the season we were all waiting for?

Thank god for this season having some great animes to wash the disgusting homolust shit out that we had from last season.

Assuming you mean while it was lying down in the hanger... He assumed he was inside a spacecraft, wasn't sure he could stand it up without damaging it or the spacecraft, wasn't sure how close to vacuum they were. Had intended to get out and scout around to see what the place was like but didn't expect Amy to be so anxious to see it at night, thought he had a few free hours to gather information...

Once he realized he wasn't in vacuum he had Chamber just punch a hole in the hull to get out...

I guess being a big fan of starwars has immediately put me in love with series.

so far its very interesting, the epic space battle in the beginning was a tad bit confusing with all dem colors, but was still understandable.

UUGH i must say so far Amy and her sister(i assume) the girl with the red pony tail are definitely putting some moe in my book.

Boring episode.
Beginning makes me want to sleep because of how dull this is.
The ost is so relaxing.
The white hair guy seems to be interesting.
I hope this show will be excellent because of the story he made of psycho-pass.
2/5

And oh yeah. he is awesome!

Interesting start. I see a lot of similarities to Heinlein's "Starship Troopers," from the REM hypnosis to the necessity of active duty for citizenship rights.

The part about Led being selected due to having "superior traits," and his nationalistic, state-loyal mindset, reek of dystopian clichés.

Well, of course none of that matters since Led's traveled back in time.

I'm expecting great things from Urobuchi.

Mecha. Mecha. Mecha. This season is full of mecha themes! Oh well. I like all this season line-ups. So Ledo is a pilot living in other planet in Solar System and at their time, Earth is not familiar with them? And what are they fighting at the start? It looks like a flower.

And there are so many mecha this season >.<
Odd how they know nothing about earth and earth knows nothing about them. I wonder how it will play out, and i wonder which language was most recently made up xD

I liked it but when i looked at the episode number i felt disappointed. This series has the perfect set-up for a nice 24 episode schedule, what kind of story are we gonna get in only 12 episodes?
For now this is the second intriguing show i have found after the Titan thing that has all drooling.

So the option right now are: 1) he traveled back in time.
2)He went to an alternative universe
3) His civilization thought earth abandon and dead long time ago and earth recuperated without them knowing and so survivors built humanity again.

Amazing GRaphics. The idead of having your AI translate is cool not like others where they seem to suddenly know how to talk unknown language.
The Art of Shipping is no mere game. It can be small skirmishes to huge nation size wars.
Of course some will claim their ship is the BATTLESHIP but they all do. This is why battles occur because of factions fighting each other to justify their favourite ship.
And thus SHIP to SHIP combat occurs almost anytime even now.
Beware, Threading into the Shipping battlefield will be bloody.... What are you waiting for?

Anyway not bad for a first episode, I kind of knew/felt that we were in the past when they couldn't open or figure out the mecha.
Please learn about cel animation and its technical process.
Learn how special effects and backlighting were done without computers.

So yeeeah, the first half of the episode was bright lights and fighting space vaginas with future technobable. That part of the episode was horrible. We get no sense of the stakes and well mean space vaginas don't make the most compelling enemies when you don't really know what the hell is going on.

Second half of the episode was better. The animation was nice without causing seizures. It seemed like fun and it's interesting they're actually on planet earth. Hopefully the series will stay more like this or if it's going back to space battles it'll actually bother to explain things.

Overall, a shaky first episode but it seems like it could be really interesting and good futuristic sci-fi anime is hard to come by so we'll see.


My feelings as well.

While apparently lots of people died in space, none of them were characters. Even Ledo has forgotten about them all, although that could be part of his sleep maintenance. The combinations of flowers and sea creatures seemed incoherent. Didn't really feel any dread or horror when the last alien jumped him. The first half was really forgettable although the critter artwork looked good. I suppose it had to be done but I'm glad it's over.

Second half wasn't much to write home about either. Not sure what reactions Ledo should have had but I found the ones he had to be peculiar. Taking a hostage, running around, dropping her on the deck, not reacting to being attacked by the critter…doesn't make sense to me. After running away with a hostage from a guy with a pipe wrench, he suddenly decides to stare down the lot of them when they're pointing automatic rifles at him.

I'm hoping that they decided, with only a single cour to work with, that they needed to get the preliminary set-up out of the way in a hurry and did so aggressively.

Wow... Not bad. Seems like to me that civilization has developed to a point where people can't even think of a place we live in, and that Earth, the planet of human origin, was forgotten.

This is damn interesting start alright, I like the character designs, it has good animation quality also, will have to see what happens next.
