| Well now , that was a piece of shit......not even gonna bother adding it in my list. Star driver was shit and looks like this is in the same league as it, the crap league. |

Not trying to be an ass or anything, but what exactly were you expecting from the first episode? Three or so in and I can understand (that's normally my limit for short shows) but the first one lol? |

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |

I'm not gonna drop the series. But this episode, although I didn't find it boring, it did seem quite disorganized and thus confusing. And the transformation sequence was drawn out far too long. I hope it gets better. |

| Awesome animation, but it was kind of boring, i don't know if i'll keep watching it... |
Talkingseal said: Why is he suddenly capable of piloting a mecha in the first episode and why is he allowed to pilot one? So confusing... Exactly my thoughts. Simple details that could have been executed in 2-3 episodes. I think it was too fast paced and they tried to cram things into one episode. I can't say it's promising but I'll continue watching for its production value. 2.7/5 for the first episode. |

I can't say it's promising but I'll continue watching for its production value. 2.7/5 for the first episode. When did he pilot the mecha? Can you please tell me? The launch thing and the GATTAI were totally automatic, he has yet to pilot the mecha, we also understand that by the preview which shows us that he has problems piloting it. |
 |
| I had high hopes for it, but then it was just... mediocre. Everything was a way too, excessively fast/rushed. 2~3 episodes could have done better to deliver a more acceptable presentation than it did show. It was not bad by any means, yet i felt it was somewhat disappointing. I hope the forthcoming episodes will do this series justice, because a good story it seems to have and the animation was gorgeous. However, development is everything and the pace must be better managed. |
| It was ok but nothing special till now. I will continue watching to have a better impression ^^ |
| Very promising. Seems like this is the Noragami of spring season - a consistent, solid story with decent characters and great visuals. It can probably top just an 8/10 hopefully. |
| That was probably the best first episode of this season so far! Love the character designs, somewhat reminds me of AnoHana, great production values and really digging the mech designs :D Seems promising :D Nice ED song :) |
| Wow I'm so excited at the moment. 1st ep was great. |
| lol i don't want to be a dick. But, did protagonist's father ride a rocket to destroy a meteorite thing? why not nuke em up? |
| Now I know why crappy shows keep popping back up every season...I keep overestimating the major target audience of animes. Without a smorgasbord of exposition, it's apparently too boring for many of you. Patience is a virtue my friends... Plus, the plot wasn't THAT hard to understand. This is summary while half watching it half looking down at my bowl of udon: -orphaned boy MC -mother died for unknown reasons, father died in an "accident" but actually willingly died to save the earth from something -as a child the MC met another boy who is bio-engineered to pilot mechs a la ayanami rei -the boy has strange powers, yet to be explored -MC leads an introverted life, due to troubled past -MC sees a phenomenon (rainbow ring) that reminded him about the boy with the powers. I'm guessing they will go into detail later on how it came to be that he forgot about the other boy, perhaps the incident with his father was a more pressing matter at the time. -The MC goes back to the old building to investigate his past in order to find the connection to the present. He seems to have no motivation for other things, so this makes sense. The past is all he really has. -Strange flute girl leads him toward the mech, where a scientist is there to greet him. The MC has the "key" to the mech so the scientist does not question him being there. My guess is as good as yours on this part, but I'm thinking maybe the scientist has never seen the actual pilot before. -The MC is somehow "chosen" to pilot mechs, for reasons unknown for now. Otherwise, why would the girl have let him in in the first place? They are performing strange experiments in that building, so anything can happen, they're not going to explain everything in one episode! -The rest of the episode is the mech AUTOMATICALLY forming after the key is put into "ignition" (This means that the boy has yet to actually do anything, so the "how does he know how to pilot the mech" argument is moot). -The boy with the powers was supposed to pilot this mech, apparently. |

| Pretty good episode.. I'm glad this will have 25 episodes looking forward to this series |
| Not bad for a first episode, but still a little weak. It didn't get me hyped. It feels something like eureka seven meets robotics;notes. We've seen all those tropes before. I hope they manage to deliver something new on the long run. |
| Pretty interesting, I'll watch this :o |
 |
| Ah yes...protagonist thrusted into galactic battle, things escalated quickly...Pretty typical start for a mecha show. Usually there is better world building in the beginning though. As in, what is the threat, who is fighting who, what is this world like...or maybe I'm getting ahead of myself. Nonetheless, there's shiny animation and flashy action with some classic mecha transformations. Pretty good :) The chara and mecha designs are very nice. I hope Moco and Amara are a couple. I really liked the insert song :3 |

| Wow, sick 1st episode Great art, animation, visual, music. Hopefully it doesn't turn out to be Eureka AO |
| ending felt kinda awkward, but overall good first episode. The animation is absolutely gorgeous! |

| Good first episode. Nice OST during the flashbacks. The soundtracks in this anime is really god. Respect for Taiyou! so BA astronaught. A wonderful Captain indeed. Nice transition of events between Taichi's past and the present time. His past looks interesting. That Mecha robot was such a beauty LOL. Let's see how this goes. Looks interesting and 25 episodes in total. ^^ It's Bones to boot too. :D |

| 09:22 KIRITSUGUっっっ 15:21 hey neechan 21:30 dat gattai 7.5 for this episode. |
| Isayama Hajime should be awarded The Manga with The Highest Inconsistencies of Characters' Appearances. He keeps performing multiple plastic surgeries on those Shingeki No Kyojin characters in a SINGLE chapter. Yes, I've read up to the latest chapter of Shingeki No Kyojin manga. Forced myself to read through the kidsketching chapters after the anime's ended. At least from now on, I only have to go through the hell once a month. Patiently awaiting SNK TV/movie/OVA anime-sequel. The 2015 SNK live-action movie would probably suck. |
| The animation is awesome , and it's the only good thing about it... |
| The gattai sequence was just super lame, and I don't like the mecha design. But I'll watch for the pink hair girl... I just hope she doesn't die soon. |
| 日本人はイッちゃってるよ あいつら未来に生きてんな |
| Star Driver vibes everywhere.As in SD, i love mecha design here.Animation was pretty nice too. For now i'll stick with it, because it was actually a good start.My only complain is: burnout6010 said: Why and how is he piloting that mecha like he's done it every day of his life ? |
 |
| I'm really loving the art and mecha designs so far they are really beautiful, same goes to the awesome OST :) That gattai scene is lovely! Like everyone said, I'm also getting Star Driver vibe too. so that's not a bad thing at all! |

| Well that was visually impressive. Not much else to say about this episode, I can feel the potential though. |

RodrigoL said: jesus its the first episode, its introduction time things dont get explained till later. Info dump first episodes are just poor writing and placementWhat was that gun that Daichi had and why him...... they could have explained a little better |

j0x said: batossai said: j0x said: batossai said: i have to say that was a mediocre first episode, i get that its written by the same guy that wrote star driver, but the lack of detail or proper introduction doesnt work in this show. Star driver was over the top and didnt seem to take it self too seriously, at the very least i never really took it seriously. however this show attempts to establish a more serious tone; meaning that story telling should be an important aspect of this show. However this first episode fails give us a reason to care about world its trying to build, nor does it address the main character's motivation, so all we are left with is just some pretty animation and barely any action sequences. This was definitely not a memorable first episode, I really hope that they stay away from the story telling style that was used in star driver because it was terrible. i hope more people like you drop this show already, the story telling will be clearly like star driver was that has full of mysteries that some people find as plot holes, i like anime that is not conventional like this one so im bias about this, im tired of the same spoon feeding story telling that i see on my local TV channel that is why im watching anime because its different its ok to have mystery in the plot am not against that, but you have to give the viewer motivation to watch your show. For good story telling you have to give enough information to hook your viewer into the show. That is very different from spoon feeding the viewers information. I am up for a show that leaves it to me to connect the dots but it has to grab my interest first, and in that sense this episode is mediocre. There is no denying that in terms of storytelling that this episode is lacking. thats very subjective, and i say its more about your taste on story telling rather than a general rule for ALL the viewers and i say they have given enough information for the 24 minute episode that they have, again this is not your traditional way of story telling Actually the statement you highlighted is probably the most objective thing i said in that paragraph. Can you really claim that it is possible to get the viewer interested in the story without giving at least some info about the story? No you cant, because that would be a contradiction. one cant tell a story with out giving information it goes hand in hand. That doesnt mean the viewer has to be spoon fed the information, some information can be left to the viewer to deduces some or fill in the blanks, but in order to do even that the viewer must be given some information to work with. I see nothing subjective about the statement you highlighted. |
