Am I the only one who hates A-TEC and wants them to be disbanded?

Also this show managed to get about 3 times more boring with this one episode

FUCK NAGISA AND ANGELINA. I seriously wanna kill them both. On the other hand, why doesnt members of A-tec just leave the company and go work for other Companies in the same market. Im pretty sure a lot of the companies would hire them due to their ability to create new inventions

So they found a loophole to keep depending on big funds. Good going. Not.

Dropping this, show has nothing going for it.

Hopefully, this show picks up the pace. :( Honestly, the only things I like in this anime are the OP and ED..but I'll continue to stick around! I still see some potential for it to become a good anime.

Kirishina is THE company on Mars, or at least in the Fourth Tokyo prefecture. No other company stands close to it.

It is a decent anime at the moment. People just have to get used to the fact that corporate politics usually isn't interesting to many but that should stop them from appreciating the story.

I really hope, it gets better. The politics in this anime are not really my cup of tea either (Gate has a more interesting and more unique side of politics). I was struggling to understand what was going on, i only got out of this that A-Tec are stuck between tables (Nagisa and the Union).

Nagisa is starting to help, possibly in order to get under the skin of his brother?

The naivety of Sera is almost unbearable, almost. I understand they want to pursue their big big dreams, but they need to realize how many assets they're wasting. And what did they do as a last resort? Exploit the loophole? lol.

But it's apparent that Nagisa is orchestrating all of this, though I doubt they're going to welcome him with open arms once he finally dealt with his obnoxious brother.

Nagisa is such a boss. He's politically and psychologically moving Sera's team at will. Sera may think that him and his team's plan's were under Nagisa's radar, but in the end he was the one who organized, orchestrated and set it all up. Sera is basically the happy-go-lucky, "spend all the money first, ask questions later" figurehead that Nagisa needed as a pawn to go up against his own brother. He wasn't even mad that Sera's refurnishing of the old building succeeded.

I'm totally rooting for Nagisa here to take over the corporation from his dumbass brother. Love all the politics and the corporate maneuvering this show presents.

Kaito x hanako? Or nagisa x hanako? I'm just interested in that now... A-tec made some smart moves but I feel like nagisa is going against his brother.

Swimsuits and fanservice next episode? Hopefully they make it worth it for the people that didn't drop this anime so early

I wasn't quite onboard with this show on the first episode, but this show just keeps getting better and better with each episode. Feel bad for all the people who dropped it too early. I feel like they're going to be missing out.

Now the next episode seems...interesting. Probably not going to be that spectacular all things considered, but eh. I'm fine with it, I suppose.

The more I watch this show, the more I'm convinced it's a series about nothing. It keeps spinning its wheels with barely any new nuance to its major players to distract enough from the formula of corporate problem-->Kaito depressed-->find solution/resolve-->repeat. The episode itself is also fast paced but simultaneously takes forever to get anywhere. A shame too, because the first episode is a strong debut. The Kaito-Nagisa-Angelina dynamic doesn't happen often enough, and individually none of them are 'it' enough to carry the show. It needs to start letting some of its other characters shine. Fast.

A show that can't admire the roses of its characters along the way, no matter how strong the story is, is nothing but a document. Plenty for the teeth to sink into, but barely any flavor to savor.

This anime is pretty meh.

There is the business rivalry thing which I suppose is the core conflict, but it really doesn't focus on that it instead focuses on the A-tec + school life stuff which just feels tacked on (filler). I mean A-tec is being shown as pawns in the main battle, but they get all the screen time despite them being pretty irrelevant to the story. What are they doing again? Building a ship for some race mentioned sometime ago, or something about trickle down R&D tech for the main company? Who even cares?

Also they seemingly are making it clear as day Nagisa is pulling some sort of "I'll be the villain so they'll work hard to defeat me." way of whipping A-tec into shape, but at the same time they are playing up his "dislike" for A-tech/Kaito like they also want to use the fact that he is helping them out as some sort of plot twist shocking moment for the ending. I dunno maybe they think they are being subtle about it?

Do not like this anime at all. Besides the obvious of having poor animation, the message sent through this is just brutal. Talk about reinforcing spoiled behavior and the belief of entitlement. Earlier, I had hoped the show was join to go in the direction of "build it from scratch, by yourself, through hard work" instead it takes "if your parents (figuratively speaking) don't give you money, find a way to take their hard earned money through loopholes and use it yourself." Dropping this show unfortunately.

WRONG. They are key players like Nagisa and Kaito. And what main battle? This not a battle shounen, you know.

The interaction and level of trust between Kaito and his students is nice.
Nagisa still a pretty cunning and down to earth character. Really looking forward to know more about him (back-story), as well what his real intentions are (I hope there is more than meets the eye than him just wanting to become CEO).

Also looking forward to know more about Hanako’s (Angelina’s) past: her reason for not liking her name, as well her over-flirtatious aptitude towards Nagisa.

C’mon bro, you got it wrong...... it’s Kaito x Hanako and Nagisa x Mizuki (opposite attract each other). There is no Nagisa x Hanato; that couple does not compute.

I bet Mizuki, will play a big role in Nagisa’s character development, and/or vice versa, later on the story. Thus growing closer.

A slight improvement over the last chapters, but i still think the characters lack a bit of oomph.

Isn't it an old tradition to have the obligatory beach/onsen scenes in episodes 7 or 8?

Really dislike how they wasted the impact of some of the characters leaving A-TEC. Completely unnecessary after this episode.

Anime women getting offended when people think they're older than 20 years old is really getting old now. It's like the nosebleed someone gets when they see someone hot in a compromising position or a tsundere character denying they have feelings for someone they obviously lust over. I hope they don't overuse Angelina's ridiculous sensitivity about her age too much in this series.

Also, another fucking beach dedicated in the next episode? Almost every single fucking anime series has at least one beach episode, that's also getting boring.


Called it though, I knew they were going to make the best of their situation somehow. Still, I hope the story gets better. I just want to know if they're going to face any real enemies or some shit like that.

The plot is making it even more interesting, although the narrative is not successful just involve me in full, this time. In terms of history it is disappointing, perhaps the comic roles should be more incisive, over and not to spoil the seriousness that it wants to give to history. The designs and animations are satisfactory, with some small slip here and there, but they are really trifles. I expected from the character of Angelina something more, especially more evil and more unscrupulous behavior, perhaps this is the only fault I'm liking this series.

Not really a fan of how cheeky the A-TEC guys were, in the end they are still using the fund from the company, and it's not their own money. They just have to write up a few reports and get the fund going, yet they are so arrogant about it. Meh.

I still have no idea why so many people particularly hate this series. I personally don't think that there are a lot to hate on.

I don't think that the show really meant to reinforce those beliefs, but that's pretty much the issue I have with the A-TEC bunch.

I'm not sure what to think of this development... The show had a rocky start in the first two episodes, but I was still willing to give it a second chance years later. However, the way the first arc resolved itself was a bit uhh... too easy.

I really do hope this gets better.

I still don't get the hate? Bad animation? I thought it was really good. Might not have been technically amazing, but the CG backgrounds actually go well with the high-tech environment and all the character designs are attractive.

Lol.


You can't do cutting-edge aeronautics R&D "by yourself". It ain't the 30's anymore, planes aren't made out of wood and canvas in some bloke's shed.

It is very capital intensive, because at the end of the day the most valuable resource in corporate R&D is time. I have used oscilloscopes that cost £300,000. We needed 8. There is no other way, in order to obtain the data we need the fastest scopes on the market. Spending hundreds of thousands in staff costs alone developing, building and testing our own system "from scratch, by your own hard work" would have been an even more ridiculous waste of corporate funds considering the fact that by the time we finished our competitors' product would quite possibly be years ahead. A-TEC needed that money, without funding they are just paying large salaries for people to sit around plotting their revenge on the company.

As Nagisa said, every proposal they made was financially justified to the accounting department so its not like he was just ransacking the corporate treasury to build his own nest.
