THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
First episode finished airing on AT-X. Just some short thoughts for now:

Yup, this felt more like a comedy. If you're ready for some sci-fi, there's that. But be more ready for the comedy and fan service because there's more of that. Kinda funny at the way the girls "faint". And there's also some experimentation stuff. Pretty lighthearted show so far.

That was a fun round, not the best opening episode, but it will do.
7/10 for this episode.

Well this guy weird pretty quick lol

I'm gonna stick with this this little longer since I'm curious behind the true intentions of Uzal who I think may be a bad person plus I liked the premise with the whole cybernetics thing

Seems like it'll be fun especially since our two lead females are just cute af lol I wouldn't mind some fanservice with Uzal either =P

Huh, I didn't think I'd enjoy this show as much as I did, seems like a pretty good lighthearted show with some subtle fan-service and some decent comedy throw in with it. Think this show might be a keeper this season for me.

Nanakorobi's naivete and enthusiasm is cute.

The "Pandora Device" port is just... absurd...

Messy execution.

I don't hate it yet, so I'll keep going. I'm kinda interested in what Uzal's deal is.

i know what I'm getting into when i watch an anime produced by Studio Gokumi

just like Lance I'm not in this for the animation but for the story. the animation is fine but I'm not going to sugar coat the fact that its on the lower end of the spectrum. however its watchable and enjoyable.

i have a feeling ppl will drop this due to fan service

robotic lesbian finger banging is def my thing

The animation is fine and it kinda differs from one or couple of manga chapters. And it was quite a long time since i read the manga so completely forgot about those ecchi scenes. Overall surprisingly liked the 1st episode more than expected and probably for the lack of options in this season.

This was pretty interesting.
An anime that doesn't take it's self to seriously is always welcome and especially when it's done right which seems to be the case.
Still i would love some more explanation which makes me look forward to next week.

I have a hard time believing that this is really by Shirou Masamune, creator of Ghost in the Shell. What could've happened that led him to devise such a trashy concept? I'm not one to complain about Yuri service (since it's one of the best thing that ever happened to anime), but in the manner it's presented is utterly unpalatable.

None of the characters are interesting either except maybe Uzal, who seem to have something (shady) on her mind. But even she can't possibly save the show.

Masamune + another dude who created another classic : Excel Saga. Which is pretty much a nonsensical slapstick comedy so yeah ...

Gonna stick with this one for the silliness and for Clarion!
So glad that I'm not a huge manga reader, because the manga readers WHINE WAY TOO MUCH and have to RUIN every adapted anime for the ANIME ONLY WATCHERS!

Entertaining enough, even intriguing at times making you wonder what is going to happen. Thought the Yuri was done too much - wouldn't mind if it was actually Yuri, but never like it when it feels tacked on (that goes for all fanservice), but first episodes do tend to have more because they think that this is what will get people to watch, so I hope that will tone down. Pity though that they are usually correct on that. But outside of this the hyper MC was cute, want to see what the people who made her are really all about. The doctor, though seemingly shady and definitely amoral is obviously on the good side, still she could be fun as well.

Don't expect this to turn into art, but it could be one of those fun 20 minute a week shows.

You may want to look at some Shirou's lesser known work. It isn't exactly logical or safe for work. Even the original GitS manga was the same in a lot of ways, but that's something the adaptions avoided for the most part.

Well, I'm not surprised to see that the creators of Ghost in the Shell and Excel Saga made this, given their near identical concepts. This is literally what the baby would look like if Ghost in the Shell x Excel Saga were the parents. I quite like it.

Am I just imagining it or are their arms and legs CG'd? Cause it's really bothering me.

Anyways, feel like I'll probably drop this after another episode or two. Hopefully something interesting enough happens within the next few episodes.

I am really not sure what to make of this show. I mean, was this seriously written by the same guy who wrote Ghost in the Shell?

Kind of cute in parts (The ED was adorable) but kind weird and fetishy in others. There's potential for things to get interesting and I'm interested in seeing if the show goes down the path of yuri. But as it stands I don't know whether I'm going to be watching this one to the end.

Granted my urge to drop the series isn't nearly as strong as I felt watching KyoAni's new show this season. I'll give this series a shot, but if my feelings are the same by the time episode 3 rolls around I'll probably just drop the show.

And also the guy that did Excel Saga. And yeah, it's pretty much what you'd expect if you've watched those two things.

Got it, so the Pandora Device is the Garment Grid.

Why oh why did the port have to be where it is though? Why not literally anywhere else?

So should I watch the Ghost Urn movie now or wait until the season finishes?

Well I didn't expect to enjoy the shit out of this series, average art but a million times better than their previous Lance n Masques show, too much lighthearted moments and some awkward moments like that "fingering" scene ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°). Anyways this will be one of my guilty pleasure this season so yeah I hope this may get even more interesting :D
