The humor was dry but the only thing that pulls me in is the animation. Can't judge it by the first episode.

Hey hey, not bad for a first episode!

Ginga Bishounen!?!? Do they really need to call the legendary guy: Galactic Pretty Boy, or something like that?

8/10. We'll see how this progresses!

The start was confusing, I didn´t really understand what was going on, but the battle and animation was pretty good. Waiting for more explanation in the following episodes...

Um let's see. I count the flamboyancy of code geass, the cheesy villains (and outfits) of gundam wing, and the angst of gundam seed. Admittedly wing could be called a stretch but as far as I'm concerned it has at least one of the defining characteristics of each show.

"Galactic Pretty Boy," hahahaha
Man, this is way better than I expected. Should be one hell of a fun ride.

EDIT: I hope these gay robots can transform into huge and gayer robots, that'd be even better.

the galactic pretty boy thing was as gay as some of the poses, but other than that i liked the animation and soundtrack.

hopefully next episode will clear up some of the questions of what is actually going on

For those who are confused:

Okay so there is this school in an island, and the island has 4 Maidens(North,South,East, and West) The Maidens are to protect some sort of seals to some phases, and those phases have to do something with the power of the Cybodies(the mechs). Then there is this secret organization that tries to break the seals... The south maiden gets kidnapped and the hero, Galatic Pretty Boy(Whats with the name o.o) rescues her with an unknown power given by his grandpa(maybe?)

I think thats the gist of it... So weird but actions are pretty good so I will keep watching

and galactic pretty boy? I know this is fabulous and all but that's pretty fruity.

I was expecting something great but this exceeded my expectation. Overall 9/10 great first episode. Better than a certain Gainax show that's for sure. Hoping this series stays consistent with its FABULOUSNESS.

I just hope there's minimal focus on the 'love triangle'. One of the easiest ways to ruin the enjoyment of a show is to have some rage inducing romantic situation pop up.

Beautiful animation. Beautiful boys. Beautiful insert song. *thumbs up*

I don't think we have a love triangle yet. Certainly one could develop but right now blue hair seems pretty open to the notion that yellow hair might choose someone else. In fact he pretty directly stated that their relationship wasn't romantic so much as an arranged marriage of convenience. Really all we have right now is one unrequited love. If that. I suspect it won't stay unrequited for long.

Well that was ... interesting. Plenty of WTF, OMG, and O_O moments. First thing is I keep hearing Lelouch and Kida lol XD Wako is pissing me off already, she's annoying D<
I can't believe it's actually Galactic Pretty Boy lol. The transformations were cool. I liked the OP and ED, and the insert songs too (why weren't they subbed? T_T). The music was cool too. Not bad I guess, I'll keep watching for now, but nothing really special ... yet :P

This is true. Thus far nothing remotely homosexual has occurred. If a pretty boy makes you that uncomfortable then I hate to be the one who asks you why but um... yeah. I don't know how to tactfully go any further with that line of thought.

Effeminate to be sure, but thus far nothing homosexual or homoerotic. I mean face it, the anime industry has seen some pretty immasculine mecha pilots. At least this one's not a whiny bitch.

W-what the fuck? The first half started out okay, and then suddenly all this shit happened. By the end of it I felt like they'd condensed 5 episodes worth of plot revelations into 5 minutes.

Hrm. We'll see what the next ep is like. Maybe they can pull themselves out of this hole with proper pacing and characterisation.

This episode was pretty craptastic, but that seems to be the flavour of the year: crap. I hope they end up explaining what the hell I just watched next episode, or this will be an almost immediate drop. I certainly hope it isn't another Dragonaut trying to be Gurren Lagann anime.

Fantastic animation. If anything, I think that's what sold me right away.

And, not surprising, we have all those that can't think without having to immediately pull the "that's gay" card. The scenes were flamboyant, please do us the favor and stop with the derogatory connection to that word. Grow up, seriously.

The penis ties and flamboyant poses make me think this is going to be the most fab show this season, and likely this year. Kuragehime might give this a run for its money, though.

Also, most of the humor didn't really get me, but that "It's a pinch-i!" stuff had me face-palming and then laughing my ass off.

Or we could let it develop over 24 episodes explaining itself before writing it off as Dragonaut crap.

I could do without all the posing and pretty, sparkly stuff. But I am happy that something new and exciting is coming to my mecha anime line up. Felt like a stange combination of RahXephon and Utena. I'll be anxiously awaiting the next beautiful, confusing, vague episode of this series.
