Hm I think the OP song is alright.

This whole mecha revolution really gives me a weird vibe for the episode.
Ouma's like a rebel this episode, doesn't give a shit about anyone except for his princess and escaping after being trapped. I kinda like that about him. Just really hoping the show doesn't forget about his background story. Also really curious to see how technology really works in this series. Decent mecha duel though.

Really nice episode it was pretty exiting to watch.
Tho we didn't learn much about the characters this time,
But there was a lot of action which i usually don't like but it was really nicely done and the scenes had great detail.
Even the tank shells where very detailed not to mention that cruise missile towards the end.
And the fighting scene with the robots looked awesome.

I like how MC robot slipped because a car lol.
For story development i guess that will happen in next episode, well they have many time for that if it's 26 episode show.

This is so good, so much action, the samurai looks awesome, and the production is so consistent, good choreography to.
The ost is outstanding.

I'm excited to know this Princess-Samurai relationship and the conflict, because i don't have idea of what is happening(Alien invasion?!?, with mechas ?!)

Hope all the episodes seems like this episode, shame on netflix that destroyed the popularity of this series.

Is there any episode count already?

Surprisingly Yukina has strong cognitive skills, a good pair with samurai boy there. The battle might be plain, but it did make my heart skip a bit. Hahaha

Aliens only use samurai sword? Very refreshing lol

Damn, now I'm even more curious about the character's background after this episode. That yellow mecha was OP as hell, blocking all those missile attacks.... Samurai mechas? I'm digging this. Action was pretty neat along with the OST. OP and ED were decent. I'm really liking this so far. Now I'm just hoping this really will be a 2-cour.

I thought it's just an imagination at first, but wow... Yukina surely looks like the princess. There's so many twin that the little girl up the roof looks like Yukina too. LOL
That's surely pretty tricky prison escape, especially coming from a guy that know nothing about the world he's trapped into. Or maybe it's far more advanced in his home world?

the mecha action was good, so projectiles like missiles and bullets are not effective against this demon robots that samurai dude is talking about

Yukina definitely seems to be the reincarnation of the past princess since she has genetic memory of how to pilot the mecha too

Alien samurai mechs, very odd, but interesting. I liked Yukina and Kennosuke's interactions so far as well, they seem like they'd be a fun duo. Yukina is also a down to earth character, and she's cute not too much.

I'm not a huge mech person, so most of the action seemed alright to me, but I'm quite interested in the story. Something anachronistic such as mechs had been around for awhile in the world of Kuromukuro, I'd like to know more about the past and the "oni." It's definitely not bad so far.

I've really liked GLAY since hearing them from Daiya, and this OP is no different :) It's also nice to get title drop in the beginning of a series.

So basically he's been fighting those advanced alien robots since the Edo Period, eh?
Funny to see he's dragging Yukina along even though he denies her being his Princess.

This episode was basically all-action. Looking forward to some more exposition next episode.

That was honestly a very good episode. The sound director and the animators did a perfect job. The dialogues are interesting and make the characters shine. Action scenes were intense and the expositions gonna be interesting. The anime really look promising.

Wow I feel that this show is quite underrated and not as much popular as it should be.

I must say, the Mecha action in the city was really well done. The whole choreography of the moves between Ouma/Yukina and the enemies Mechas was excellent.

I do wonder what period in time Ouma came from. The cube he was in was found 60 years ago, in the 50's I presume, and with the flashbacks, the princess looks like she's from the Edo period, and yet was also a pilot in the mecha that she was killed(?) in. I'm sure the show will shed more light into Ouma's past and reveal how long ago his time period was.

Overall, a great episode with solid and consistent art & animation. =D

Feeling some Aldnoah.Zero vibes from this with the invulnerable shield, coming from outer space, and a princess in the story.

Nice action, but still not sure where this is going. Felt like the conversations were out of place, like immediately after the battle Yukina decides to ask about the princess. There should be some interval before she can recover from all that surprise and calm down enough to want to ask that imo.

That kinda bugged me too, and it was actually still during the battle wasn't it? Oh well, I guess we can chalk her calm/collected nature up to the whole reincarnation thing

Other than that, this isn't half bad so far. Only worry is in the writing, but even if it isn't top tier as long as the action, direction, and character interaction stays consistent this might be pretty good.

This is a pretty interesting Episode, better than the first one.

The OST and Animation were well done for my case, I love it when a mecha does that xD

Other than that I find the Samurai more interesting than before, there should be more background to the guy, and it seems like there's also something interesting for Yukina, knowing all of this.

decent episode, better then the first one. I'm in love with the music tbh and the animation looked good in the fight scene soo? Not much progression character development wise, but this episode did give us chances to develop the MC's. Hope they will actually use that chane. But I will keep watching it because of the potential it has right now.

this is going to be most underrated anime of the season... the mecha battles were so good, and i like the pace so far....I DONT GIVE A FUCH if they didnt explain charaters, just yukina, her mom, missing dad, Ouma, dead but maybe alive princess is enough(but that ending shows maybe he didnt timetravel but got stuck when he was taken away by the speed of light explains why he thinks its only been days)

Not really. They were just careless and stupid, you don't get so close to the door of the cell, that the person inside can grab you. Especially, when you know nothing about the person or how he will react.

True that. Also, we have clearly super and real robots, which is mostly I came around watching it and I am glad I watched the two episodes together.

Breeding mecha with mythical entities dating back into Japanese history was done in Gasaraki. I'm saying this because the setting and even the premise are way different, yet it plunged me in some mecha schizophrenia from the very beginning. (Not in a bad way!)

The action is awesome - the mechs have been shown as agile, powerful, and the fight choreography was a feast to see. Even if the story bombs, I be happy with the animation if it keeps that way (or better, why not).

Nothing to dislike about the characters, will definitely watch to see how it plays out.

the first two episodes are interesting, both MCs and side characters are likable (especially the main heroine's classmate), the action are good, the dialogues aren't cringeworthy, the jokes are funny, and i'm intrigued about the plot.

So.............. WHAT'S WITH THE SCORE?!!!! 6.92? that's gotta be a joke right?

The action scenes/mecha fights in this are probably the best I've seen in a long time apart from in a Gundam Series....Plus I love how the mechanics of the Samurai Mech works + The dual pilot thing

I'm also intrigued by the fact that it seems that Mars? Is like some alternate or identical version of earth and that the main heroin looks like she's the reincarnation of this Princess or something

If this series can decently develop that whole story, continue to make me like these characters (No complaints here at all atm) and maintain this level of action straight through them I'm gonna end up loving the hell out of this

Overall, it was a great episode and a lot better than the first and can I say once again HOW FUCKING EPIC THE OST IS

The low score has imo nothing to do with certain audiences hating mecha ( even if it would be true ), this anime is just not that good. At this point, at least. Maybe it will turn the corner later. It borrows some from Aldnoah Zero and Linebarrels of Iron, I think, and it does it in a not so good way. Kennosuke is to bland and Yukina is just irritating, every time she says "datte" or "ehh" with her annoying voice, I cringe. And I don't like the mechs that much, especially the small ones are just weird.

Nah, it's good, the characters are very lively, not bland, also Yukina's "ehh" only happened before the battle, when the battle started she prove she is useful, also her personality is very likeable.
And no, the low score definitely have to do with Mecha, i mean look at Macross Delta, also having a low score which not making any sense.


And AZ got high score in early episode already was because the Urobuchi hype, same for something like Charlotte was because Jun Maeda.
