There wasn't really enough character development (imo) before sending the main protagonist into the future, but it was still kind of moving when Yumihara was left behind. But this definitely piqued my interest, especially since it's an original series.

I actually felt a little bad for the guy in the other mech, because of the pain in his voice... though, I know it was just bad subs but I lol'd at "Why you do this to me, Hina!?"

What about paradox?
Wow, you're probably right, I couldn't figure out what the hell was happening... but I guess that's why they faded away.

4/5

While not too original in the plot, I realized that the gimmick of the time jump has already been used in Gargantia (Teehee), the Technical and graphic is of a good standard.
The Sunrise has not been spared, I hope the anime does not expire on the way.
Many doubt for now, I do not know whether or not Rejection, therefore my vote is provisional and not yet certain, so I'll give a nice 6/10!

I honestly thought everything about this was rubbish.
Would only benefit from having the real Dio Brando in this.

Well, never change Sunrise.

I really hope this gets better, the first episode was awful. The mecha combat is nice as always though, as long as this doesn't become another Valvrave, I can bear it for that. I hope to be surprised though, but knowing how Sunrise has been recently...

In any case, most interesting character was the most incompetent pilot I've seen in a mecha anime in a long while, how he couldn't manage to shoot a child running at what, 8kph?

The military only shows up when convenient, and the character that knows everything doesn't explain anything.. because reasons.

Also, why does the self-destruct have five minutes...
Is it not adjustable for the circumstance...?

Don't even get me started on time travel.

Logic aside though, mecha animation is nice to see.
And, it's certainly better than no mechas at all for last season.

If the guy in the mecha wanted Aoba dead, a gun would have been easier.

First episode in, and I get a feeling that this is going to be much much better than Valvrave. Or at least I hope so.

Random guy in mecha can't hit a person running or on a bike needs more training.

Don't worry I trust you even though u came from the future and now attempting to go back into the time warp that I don't really understand.

Pretty okay start, not exactly sure what to expect from this anime but it feels rather generic from this first episode.

That was a pretty attention grabbing start. As expected of Sunrise. I thought it might be as ridiculous as Cross Ange or Valvrape, but so far it seems promising.

The gap between watching this when it aired and finding a subbed version of Kanketsu-hen was too great that I didn't understand a thing wen I watched the first episode of Kanketsu-hen, so I decided to rewatch it now (RIP DAISUKI)

Lots of questions raised in episode 1! I enjoyed the story and setup.
