----------------------------------------
Not sure why I picked it up, it doesn't seem to be my taste. The characters all look pretty much alike to me and there's a bit too much CG for my taste. But I'm willing to give it a few more episodes. You never know. The preview looks better at least.

The CG testifies to a low-budget series. I expect many more scenes of people sitting and talking.

It was a pretty ridiculous spectacle to see ATs show no more durability than unarmored foot-soldiers. Why does anyone even use them?

Or maybe they depicted it like that so they could just rip-off D-Day movies wholesale, regardless of the fact that it ruins the verisimilitude of "real robots". I noticed they stole a shot verbatim from Saving Private Ryan.

took me several tries to get into the full series due to the shitty cgi in this one.
the robots looked like cheap toys.
ugh.

decent story but the cgi blows, and always gets worse with age, as cgi techniques get better.

bring back a good cel animated chirico story dammit.

The CGI makes the action less enjoyable, but it's still watchable.

We get to see more of the "hell" that Chirico went through.
