Only thing that i was disappointed with was that the song in the pv wasnt included!!
Atleast it will be the ED for the coming episodes

Replaces ben-to as my favorite opening ep. Fantastic OST, art and the directing was well done too. I was afraid that Shu was going to be a stereotypical wimp who wont fight and instead deliver's cliche speeches and tears. So i'm happy that i was wrong and knocking on wood that any angst that does come is not unbearable.
While there are some similarities, i wasn't getting the Code Geass vibe much. It felt more like Final Fantasy to me but i know nowadays its trendy to bash CG so i guess any similarities wont bold well for alot of people.


eh not really. the people that were disappointed with the 1st epi mostly feels that it's just a cheap Geass wannabe.

I think they're welcome to think that after the 5th or so episode if it doesn't change. I strongly think it will, it already feels different.

The powers are completely different too, so even if they wanted it to be, it can't be a copy of CG.

As i mentioned before in this forum, thought the first episode was amazing but i would like to note for those who are already hating on Shu's character, from what i have seen in anime and in this show, his character isn't really that bad, i mean there are some really bad anti social characters like Shinji Ikari and such, now he could very well turn into that type of character but based on the first episode he took a step which usually takes other generic antisocial characters 10 episodes (if your lucky :/) to take. Well anyway like mentioned in another forum i think all those flashbacks he had show a lot of promise for plot development, and I'm really looking forward to the next episode.

Here it is again for you: "Once he gets the power, you can still tell he's not suddenly Bad-ass. Even when he first blocks the missiles, he shows the very human reaction of looking behind him and asking himself: "Did I really f*cking do that..!?". Once he sees it charging at him, he feels powerful after what he did, and takes a chance. I'm pretty sure, that judging by the look on his face when he does it, as well as his face after (just before the ED), he's still asking himself: "How the f*ck did I just do that..."."
Any more questions?

yes , I have. First of all my critic is about BEFORE he get his demi god power.
and also, the terrorist is a bit too trustful to him.they know he is just a normal person but they still ask him to protect the package ..
Anyway, I enjoying the episode , but I felt like I should download the Anime instead of streaming it at Himado.The comment there made me laugh till my tear drop lol

I guess they were a bit trusting, but Shu was the only one left around Fyu Nell who could do it.

I have to say, if there's anything that I dislike about this show, it's how sexualised the girls are.

I mean, I would love for them to explain why Inori is stealing government technology in the same costume she uses in her videos, and I'd like to learn why Ayase gasps so submissively when her mech is rammed. Etc Etc...

My two guesses on how those will be explained is that Inori's suit has cloaking built in, probably to do with all those loose hanging pieces. And that Ayase has a special connection to the mech, complimentary from Tsugumi, that lets her feel things like that, since she's usually in a wheelchair.

But still...

so.... her name is called Ayase. She is sleeping in the mech and I thought that was a random scene of her getting fuck when I watch.

I think second episode will more calm

@BRS- i think the reason why she suddenly gasps or smthin is because the mecha is directly connected to her nerves and the mecha got hit so it caused her to get hurt as well?

Only thing that impressed me was the animation. Everything else was average. The missile dodging was pretty unbelievable and I'm tired of weak pansy dudes getting beautiful women. Also tired of women in combat hardly wearing any clothes. ugh.

I will give a cookie to whomever can figure out what this says, the original screenshotter couldn't find a clear frame for these.

Not sure if someone already replied to this, but that looks like 83156 1-10 to me.
If any of my posts seem odd, it's probably because I'm tired. Sorry. I have sleeping issues.

The songs used in this anime is GREAT! especially the end where the music started playing when the guy is about to take out his weapon.

Animation is splendid as well, cant wait for next episode.

Also i noticed the massive increase of 20+ episode animes this season AWESOME!

I actually like submissive women and sexualized female characters. Inori is fucking hot. The women in these anime are little more than sex objects anyway. Ecchi in and of itself is awesome. It only becomes bad when ecchi is used to excuse a bad plot and/or bad lead character, which happens often unfortunately.

The main thing I don't like is the whole "wimpy guy gets awesome power just handed to him" cliche used yet again.

I've made my list of Pros and Cons of this anime, and here they are:

PROS:
- God-Tier Animation
- God-Tier Music
- Redjuice Character Designs are win.
- Voice Acting matches ever character perfectly.
- 'DEM TSUGUMI TECHNO NEKO-MIMI.
- Character progression already showing promise.
- Breathtaking city vistas.
- Shu's vision hints towards a deeper plot later on.

CONS:
- Slightly over-sexualized female characters.
- 'DEM MISSING PLOTS.
- Would have preferred animated mechs, rather than CG mechs.



I'll be looking forward to the next episode. Hopefully it talks more about the story, and can differentiate itself a bit more from Code Geass, and hopefully it keeps the quality up.

I guess this is Guilty Corny. The characters suddenly do this and that (not enough narration in the plot). The part where an annoying woman in pink hair sings is a turn-down as well. Most of all, the I-could-not-save-the-world-because-I'm-a-coward is very much a cliche.

Nevertheless, cool graphics.

hmm, reminds me of a future sci-fi version of Shining Tears X Wind...and I like it =3 I would totally buy this on DVD and/or BD since it looks awesome...depending on the ending that is...b/c that can really bum it down a bit on how much people would like it overall...like cliff hanger endings with canceled or no sequels. Hopefully this won't be one of those.

Animation and music was pretty beast.

But then...wow, the similarities between this and Code Geass were lulzy. I asked the producers about it at NYAF and they just gave me an ambiguous answer.

-Area 24 --> Area 11
-Inori --> C.C.
-Gai --> Lelouch
-"Power of Kings." Hmm, where have I heard of that before? Wait a minute! I remember C.C. saying that exact same thing to Lelouch.
-Even their school uniforms looked so damn similar
-The mechs looked like Knightmare frames with some changes.
-Hell, even the symbol looks like the Code Geass symbol.

Story so far is not so appealing and Shu is annoying as hell already.

Liked Inori, but Don't like Shuu.
Liked the music and the animation but didn't like the plot that much, it's cliched but still decent as well.
I don't care about anime ratings, Coz what's good for me is good.. Ratings can be manipulated by trolls anyway so who cares about that?.. Some good anime are at the bottom, some crappy anime are at the top *cough* LOTGH *cough* .. peace ^_^V

After seeing episode one i can clearly see that this anime has a ton of potential. I just hope that it heads in the right direction. With 22 episodes, it's not a short anime but its also not long. The art was amazing and the story was compelling. I can't wait to see more.

Lots of clichés and ideas of other series blend together. Also, the fanservice pissed the hell out of me. Half-naked singing girl sounds like a tipycal retard fanservice girl, and loser protagonist failed to impress me. However, the animation was quite good, and the plot has an interesting premise....Besides, it's noitaminA, so there's a good chance that this will improve with time. Guess I'll keep watching....for now.

I love Inori already, not so sure about Shu yet though. I gotta admit I was pretty lost in the last couple minutes... what the heck happened? Hope they explain what's going on next week cause I got alotta questions.

Shoot me now for actually saying this, but I might just have to put how extraordinarily well put together and cinematic the whole thing was over, well, the complete lack of originality.

The art. I couldn't look away if I wanted.

Although the characters where painfully cookie-cutter, maybe I've just long grown used to the "meh" of anime characters, but I actually was interested by them...so you know... there may be (doomed) hope.

Same goes for the "plot" that somehow managed to catch my interest as predictable as it is.

The music was amazing, I loved the fight scene especially. Although the lyrics to the first song had me rolling my eyes, it really made the opening. But am I the only one thinking they went a little over the top in managing to squeeze A THIRD track in? Seriously guys. No.
