Loved it and hated it all at the same time. The episode is just way to short. Having read part of the light novel, I would have really loved to have seen this story fleshed out. The editing in the episode was choppy and didn't flow well at all. Animation and art style wise, it looks great though. It's a real shame when an episode is so short that it feels like a poorly pieced together trailer rather than the actual story. Still excited for the next episode, just really want more content.

Nah this was too short and almost like cutscenes for a game. I'll wait for the compilation movie that's bound to happen in the future.

I think you nailed it wait until its a 20 minute OVA before looking at it again.

Personally just didn't think much of this, no hatred just didn't care.

Yeah ... no, I think I'll wait for all of them to come out. Doesn't make sense to watch just 3 minutes at a time.

Three minutes are too short to make a meaningful episode with a plot. No wonder it felt so disjointed.

And here I'd thought Thunderbolt was too short. Well, you sure showed me, Sunrise!

Hopefully if/when Sunrise stitch this together into an actual OVA, they'll fill in the gaps as well.

They'd probably have to up the total length from 18 minutes to around 30 minutes to be able to give Twilight Axis anything resembling a fair shake, but do I think they'll do that? Judging by Sunrise's recent history... no, not really.

At most, I'd expect a full OVA release of Twilight Axis to have around 2 minutes of additional content. I doubt that would be enough to make it coherent. And knowing Sunrise, that 2 minutes would just be another fight scene or a sequel hook.

2/5.

Is Sunrise trolling me or what? Why dafaq is each ep THREE MINUTES?! Is Sunrise really a poor animation studio? Or is it because Japanese economy is dying? That stupid Zainichi Se Jun Kim thinks he can do whatever he wants with anime! The Zainichi are taking over anime industry!! Japan should restrict immigration from Zainichi!!! Oh and if Tomino Yoshiyuki sees this, he'll be fucking pissed off! Don't tell me The Origin Loum Arc will also be 3 min per ep!

While the episode has all it needs to introduce subtly the initial situation (to the concerned people at least, and if they didn't forget about certain 0079 details), the brutal editing makes the three minutes seem pretty heavy.

3/5 Nice commercial for the novel.


PS: yet another confirmation that the Sazabi's glory can't be rendered properly in this digital era.


edit @albara614 No, it isn't but you are almost right. It is a variation on the "newtype-enhanced" RX78 made for Amuro but destroyed by Bernard in War in the Pocket, made by recycling parts.

edit @CodeBlazeFate Didn't I warn you not to blink once? ^^
I think you'll get more out of this than out of the ONA series, clearly made to advertise it and to produce more kits. You don't even need to read the actual translated novel (available on the same page), just read the synopsis or characters summaries.
(glad you also know Tomino can pace things right at times)
[Zeta is] better than Char's Counterattack

How dare you? XD

With so little time available, it is a miracle to be able to understand something, then if the events are put at random, it is even harder to figure out something. Ultimately it understood very little of what it means to this first episode. ^^"

Well, that was a waste of time. It was bad that the "episode" was short, but the chronology was all over the place.

And Char never gets to catch a rest, does he?

Jesus Christ, this first ep was horribly edited....Barely anything made sense and it just felt like a kid threw random scenes together

This really should have been treated like how the other series are....I doubt that I'm gonna continue watching this

Terrible editing, and pacing. People just thought things happened in Tomino's works without motivation. This is like Tomino on steroids. I guess this series is more for fans of the novel. I'm just disappointed we aren't getting six, 30 minute episodes because the story sounds interesting.

Jank scene editing and fucked pacing. Dull AF. Tomino can pace better even in Garzey's Wing. Also, everything and nothing happened all at once. Crushed everything before the plot actually began.
