| they introduce da vinci, have samurais and stuff and then all of a sudden mechs?? lol that was kind of a surprise but it wasn't completely terrible i guess. cg was pretty meh tho not really a huge fan of history-based anime but i'll give it a go anyway :) |
| So far my mind is like "WTF did I just watched ?" But I will keep watching it for a while, hopefully it will get better |

Romedbaumann said: The episode starts with the burning of a witch? That's interesting... I also liked the OST during the explanation in the first few minutes, actually the whole OST is brilliant. As is the opening. The ending can't be bad either since it's from Stereo Dive Foundation (Although I haven't heard it yet) They burned Jeannne D'arc for heretic beliefs. |
| Mecha and historical themes combined? Hmmmm...interesting.... The art style for the historical figures are surprising to me, especially Leonardo da Vinci >.< |
 |
| i liked the first episode a lot! gonna keep watching |
| God what is wrong with you people.... :/ I loved this episode. |
| they fucked up history... it was pretty interesting and intriguing tho. |
 |
| history+mecha=unique This would seem to be interesting |
 |
| ... Wow. This is looking to be one hell of a season already. So we have two planets ("Stars"), one with Western historical figures soon to be united by King Arthur, the other with Eastern historical figures torn by civil war. Both planets have giant mecha, and the more advanced Western planet has spaceships that can travel from one to the other. Add in reincarnation, tarot cards and some great seiyuus and you have one hell of a dynamic first episode. I am DEFINITELY going to be watching this, unless it takes a massively disappointing turn partway through. |
| A decent episode. Savior of the world? Is there actually a conflict in the west? |
  |
| historic characters Check! mechs in medieval setting ok... Check! historic fiction mixed with sc-fi theme umm Check... Oda nobunaga in mech! Da vanci and Magelion on a futuristic ship OK... They sure fucked up history in general I'M FREAKING HOOKED FOR SOME REASON! |
 |
| Did anyone else have no idea what was happening? Show at least seems interesting which I can't really say for any other series that I've started watching this winter yet. |

| Liked 1st episode. Chara design is good. OST was great in the 1st episode. Can't wait for the next ep. |

ona said: None of these people even lived in the same eras anyway. The character list also includes Julius Caesar and Alexander the Great. I mean, Jesus Christ (don't tell me he's making an appearance too), at least all the Japanese characters are from the Sengoku era (as far as I can tell). That's not really true. Most of the characters lived around 1400-1600 Jeanne D'Arc 1412-1431 Leonardo da Vinci 1452-1519 Ferdinand Magellan 1480-1521 Takeda Shingen 1521-1573 Akechi Mitsuhide 1526-1582 Uesugi Kenshin 1530-1578 Oda Nobunaga 1534-1582 Toyotomi Hideyoshi 1537-1598 Oda Nobukatsu 1558-1630 The only one that really doesn't fit in there is Caesar. |

| Eh, i'm feeling mixed about the show. The soundtrack and the voice acting are superb so far, and the story and setting does interest me. But the use of historical figures is gonna be hit or miss for me in the coming episodes. I personally don't know much about japanese history, but the names i do recognise and the whole Nobunaga being betrayed. Now what I do know is the whole western side of things (like most people here) and it just makes me worried if this show just uses names and makes characters just be there for the sake of it (the introduction of all those other characters just made me more confused) Either way, i'll defo be checking this again next week >_< |
| not a big fan of mecha's, but this is currently impressing me more than the animes aired so far, has the potential to become really amazing or spectacularly average, guess that's why i'll tune in next week to see how it unfolds |
| The fuck's happening?! Whatever, I kinda enjoyed it. Character designs are pretty good, VAs are awesome and the story is fucked up which is just my thing. Anyone know how many episodes this is gonna be? |
| So, we've got characters from the time between King Arthur & Nobunaga/Magellan/Da Vinci (not fully sure about their years). Is that the max they'll take people form, or will they take from earlier/later ? And this can't be the max people they'll 'resurrect' into this new scenario, can it? Also, I can understand why they would make the best mecha be something only the MC can activate, but how? And saying it's a plot device isn't enough. |

| Thoughts: -I wanted to give each new anime of 2014 a shot, even the ones I don't like b/c it might end up being gud 0:00 not a fan of 'old age' anime… got bored right off the bat 3:11 should've started off with the girl first for the intro 3:36 yaoi??...lol…………………… 10:06 weird horn dude… he has some guts 12:45; 16:46; 18:12 epic music playing here… starting to get sucked in --------------- Overall: 1. Hate how the show started but gradually liked it as it went on 2. Seeing all that mecha makes their outfits seem super outdated. Interesting mix 3. Voice acting, graphics, and music are at high levels, especially the music. If it weren't for the music, I would've dropped it. 4. Story & characters feel super boring. I only care about the girl… maybe cuz im a guy lol. 5. I could tell right away just by looking at the main photo of this anime in MAL that I was not going to like this series just because of what it is (ya, it's my problem lol). But after watching the 1st episode, I did find some stuff I liked. I'll give it 2 more episodes before giving up on this series. 5/10 |

| Very confusing... Anyone in a good mood to help me out sorting this out? In the prologue we have the actual events in the normal history where they got a vision/glimpse of each other in the next world/life/afterlife before dying. Now we have 2 planets. One western soon to be ruled completely by King Arthur and one eastern ruled by many feudal Japanese clans in constant war. On these worlds we have "reincarnations?" of many historical figures from different timeframes which apparently don't have any memory of their originally world and their traditional national affiliation. So Jeanne d'Arc influenced by voices in her head/god starts out on a quest again to seek the savior. Good in this setting it's not the king of France but a Japanese Guy, but at least it seems like they are going to fight eventually against the English/western world under King Arthur. Did I miss something? The given explanations were quite vague/missing and I get the impression that they are simply recycling the names of historic persons with not much to it. Anyone a better interpretation? Ok we have mechas mixed up with traditional weapons and spacecrafts... Very confusing but I don't know why it gives me the feeling that I want to know more. Curious to see how this all will fit together. |
RazorRamona200 said: Man, they should have included Francisco Pizzaro and Vasco Da gamma. Hold on, this was just the first episode. |
 |
| As others have said this series could be really awesome or a total flop. Mechas in such a historical setting is definitely different, I can see it being either spectacular or crap. Either way I will be keenly watching the coming episodes to see how it pans out. |
 |
| Okay first episode. Seems like this may be really interesting or complete shit |
| Holy fucking shit, that was awesome. I mean, I have little to no clue what happened, but that was fucking awesome. The visuals a neat, except for the CGI (which is awkwardly decent) and the sounds are pretty good as well. |
 |
| The mecha designs are just terrible and what's with the cheap ass CG? let's just hope this doesn't turn into one of those series with so much action yet with little to no explanation of the plot (ahem Blaz Blue I'm talking to you). Oh well.. at least I get to hear Yoko Hikasa again |

olboyfloats said: So it's like the 1400's but not really it's also kinda the future and armies are fighting with swords and stuff still but they also have giant mech robot things and Leonardo Da Vinci is playing this giant tuba thing to a very well endowed Joan of Ark. She's possessed by a demon or something, but wait now they're in space with Magellan on some space ship thingy but still all dressed like it's the 1400's...Da Vinci and Magellan are both like "For King Arthur!" but then Joan of Ark hears a demon voice and Da Vinci is all like "fuck this let's steal a ship I gots a tazer." Then the crash land so the main character can steal a giant lazer mecha thingy and the series begins. Thanks anime. Thanks, now i know what did i just watch. haha |
| Well i enjoyed the first episode, even though i'm not a huge fan of the mecha genre in general, i would rather have them fight with swords and guns by themselves, anyway i will continue to watch to see where this is going. As someone said before it made me remeber the Brave 10. I hope it doesn't go that way and don't ruin the potential it has as Brave 10 did, |

|
| Sengoku Basara mixed with Macross-styled mecha. I like it already :) Also good to hear Eren again. |
| Didn't know what to expect from this since I didn't watch any PV's, but hell this was entertaining LOL The plot was all over the place, but listening to all those awesome VA's made up for it. I have no idea why, but I get that Code Geass feeling here lol. Looking forward to more of this mess. |
| So anachronistic... and doesn't seem to make any sense. My head hurts. |
| There is no such thing as shit taste. Only idiots who think everyone should have the same taste as they do. |
| So far this show made little to no sense... if this doesn't start being understandable by ep 3 I give up. I don't like shows that just confuse you with no way of understanding what the hell is going on. |
| Ok. We have fuedal era Japan, Leonardo da Vinci, Joan of Arc, and Magellan...with futuristic sci-fi technology and mechas. Sounds ridiculous enough to work just fine. I'm interested... Glad da Vinci is still alive. I like him! Sent with Mal Updater |
 |
| I'm official hyped for this anime. Nobu might be my favorite anime character of 2014 so far. |
| Aprivoise!! Sassou Toujou! Ginga Bishounen!... ...Oops i guess it's the wrong show! :P When Nobu got inside that mecha near the end it reminded me of Takuto. xD |
