| Good start to the series, hope it continues strong. The ED is beautiful. |
| I hope this show is like 00. |
| My Valrave replacement of the season! I already like Aoba a million times more than I liked Haruto at first. This is looking good so far. Hopefully it won't screw up like Valrave did. |
| I just finished watching the steins;gate movie so I could go for another time traveling show. Also the opening reminded me of Gundam Seed and I love that, so atm I think this will probably be the best anime this season. |
| 5 min self-destruct countdown timer? lol Time Travel Mecha? if this is like steins gate + Gundam I will be very happy. |
 |
| i guess im relieved it isn't yaoi |
| Pretty good start, although it seems lighthearted then any other Sunrise's mecha. Though I would expect some dark turning points later on in the series. Animation, art, and the action scenes looked were very intrigued. Also the background art looked very colorful and great. Pretty good interesting concept for a time traveling mecha action scenes. Character wise, the 2 MC's looked like a promising start so I have no arguments for them. I would expect Hina to be alive at some point. If she is alive, I want Aoba and Hina to be together :D Let's see how Sunrise can manage to make this a promising series to the end. |
| I watched the first episode and is really good so far. What i want to know is how do some of you guys know who the characters are(the ones not introduce in the 1st episode) if the manga is coming out on the 27th january? |
| There's no magical spell to save someone's life. |
| Buddy Complex...I thought it was a silly name, but it seems like it'll be more pivotal to the story than I previously had impressions of. While the opening was being played, felt like I was watching a Gundam series, everything from the mechs to military uniforms. Hope it won't try to become another Shakespearean tragedy sci-fi reenactment from recent memory like Valvrave the Liberator. R- said: Never underestimate the fujoshi and crack-pairing shippers. From the title of the show, and the "nice pairing" line at the end of the episode, it seems like they're going to have a field day with this series. i guess im relieved it isn't yaoi |

| I just watched the first episode & it was pretty good. I liked the OP song & the ED was great too! The action was okay & I was confused to what's really going on, but I guess things will start getting clearer later on so we just have to wait for them to explain more. |
| Well, that was alright. Pretty fast pace. I was about to say this was the first anime set in 2014. And the MC was born in 1998. But, it's taking place in the future now. The animation is good but I don't like the character designs much. |

xchee said: I like the OP but Valvrave spoiled me with awesome Mizuki Nana OPs. ^ |
| Wish this turns into a story with a some time travelling elements in the background. Hopefully it isn't just full of mecha battles that happen in the future and ends with them not addressing Aoba sending Hina into the past. If they focus on the time travelling near the end, please let there be an emotional farewell between the two. Animation is really good, also the two main characters are very likable. |

| That was... pretty generic. Hina's stupid blushing and dithering was pretty unbearable too. Thank God that version of her is gone. I assume the albino guy stood with her in the OP was the guy in the other mecha. Here's hoping the apparently villainous incarnations of them are, in the guy's sake, equally good, and in the case of Hina, much much better. |
| 01:05 dat overused scene in OP's 04:01 good morning, Buddy 04:43 choumoe! 08:09 yayy it's begun! 10:28 so, Hina's future Aoba's gf? 21:53 Silvertime!!! 9/10 for this ep. Naisu meka akushon. |
| Isayama Hajime should be awarded The Manga with The Highest Inconsistencies of Characters' Appearances. He keeps performing multiple plastic surgeries on those Shingeki No Kyojin characters in a SINGLE chapter. Yes, I've read up to the latest chapter of Shingeki No Kyojin manga. Forced myself to read through the kidsketching chapters after the anime's ended. At least from now on, I only have to go through the hell once a month. Patiently awaiting SNK TV/movie/OVA anime-sequel. The 2015 SNK live-action movie would probably suck. |
| Here we go, the second coming/replacement of Valvrave. (I wish the comparison would stop though because so far it's still quit different despite the glaring similarities) |
bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |
tsubasalover said: Doesn't show who voices that crazy pilot who attacked the main guy is, but I'm guessing Nobu. My guess is Sakurai Takahiro. Nice to see Uchiyama Kouki and Hanazawa Kana in a show again. |
| Mecha, time travel, romance...I'm sold :) (I'm easy to please) |
| Hina isn't dead i think she has another self in the future when they time warped. This first episode is awesome cant wait! |
| Tch. |
| This first episode is interesting so I think I will enjoy this show. I really liked the ED song :) |
 |
| I enjoyed the first episode. Good OP, animation and action. I liked the way it is setting up the story and leaves me wanting more. That said, hopefully it tells a worthwhile story and doesn't just dissolve into random mecha battles without a strong plot. ninja88880 said: Wish this turns into a story with a some time travelling elements in the background.

Hopefully all answers are provided. |

| That was good :D WHO'S HINA!!!! I liked her :( |
| Words aren't the only way to tell someone how you feel.- Tifa lockhart Which is it? A memory or us? -Tifa lockhart |
| Hmm not bad So Dio is aoba's son? or it's aoba from the alternate world Hoping that it's not gonna be like valvrave....a train-wreck series |
Magito said: I'm sure Hina will be back. Because she has Saori Hayami's voice. Haha Yeah. The soundtrack is very good. |
 |
| Well at least his classmates doesn't hate him for having a cute girl fall in love with him.. they even support him... not like that new anime I know of.. damn this is interesting! wonder what happened to Hina.... a great 1st episode |
 |
| So its another mecha show from sunrise.Enjoyed this episode quite a bit and Aoba seems to be a better MC than Haruto.i hope this show doen't end up like valvrave |
ricardo241 said: So Dio is aoba's son? or it's aoba from the alternate world As you can tell from the very end, Dio is that blonde-haired pilot in the future. Dio and Aoba are not blood related as far as anyone's concerned and definitely not the same person. But it's quite obvious that mobile suits in the future depend on some sort of partner system whereby two pilots reach synchronization and fight together, and Aoba will certainly become Dio's partner since his synchronization rate with Dio was off the charts to begin with. |
| Pretty good start, seems like it maybe good |
| the robots look shitty compared to the ones in kakumeiki valrave |
| "Currently playing the Game of of Life" Poppin Pills is All We Know - Antidote |
| Not a bad start if you ask me. Hina reminds me of Saki from Kakumeiki.... |
 |
| I really hope there isn't any form of love triangle between the two main guys and Hina, it seems that producers recently seem to think that if there's a romance, there HAS to be a triangle just for the sake of forced drama. |
| wait what happened to hina??? |
 |
| The premise seems to be something that can be worked with to make something good, when it comes to all the questions about Hina I think it was that when she brought Aoba to the future, then the time and reality that she was from disappeared and so she is fine, she is just in the future and probably won't know him or have any knowledge as to who he is or anything that happened in the past. |
| Sasuga Sundeep. |
 |
| Nice first episode. Time travel always seems to make the plot more interesting... |
| Hmm...lots of positive comment but I personally don't quite like it...hmm :/ |
| . |
| Found this to be really good! the opening the characters and the story all really fascinate me! |
| HO LEE FUK SRS JUST JIZZED EVERYWHERE PLS DELIVER PLS FUKKEN DELIVER DONT BE LIKE VALVRAVE PLS |
