I loved the animation and I fell In love for the main character instantly - Can't wait for more episodes!

I'm glad to see more female protagonists this season, it makes it more enjoyable to watch.. atleast for me.

I had no expectations on this and I'm still not sure, where this might go. However the main heroine is very likable, so I'll check it out and see.

Close your eyes or stop watching anime.
The fanservice for fans of mecha and wrestling was awesome.

Fantastic art and music and I'm getting orgasms just watching the OP.

ending: robot german suplex. Sold.


Yup, that's pretty much my thoughts exactly!

If the show delivers more of that, I'm in. The rest was also pretty good. Good animation, solid voices. Enjoyable opening and ending.

I have to say - this might end up being my favorite anime this season - I haven't watched Another or the BRS Animation though. The later because it obviously isn't out yet.

Anyway, I usually hate fanservicey anime, but this one has a cute, likable protagonist, great music (I didn't even know music like that could be so catchy), great mecha designs courtesy of NISSAN motors, overall great animation, and German Suplexes.

What more can you possibly ask for?

It was pretty interesting. School life portions were as dull as I expected but the robot part was pretty hilarious and cool. Antagonists are all actually pretty interesting. I found myself spending lots of time just being amazing at how clean and nice everything looked artwise, the water, the clouds, and the robots. Really visually pleasing. Music was nice.

The fact that there was blatant and inexcusable fanservice yet i didn't give a flying crap about speaks volumes for how impressed i am at Lagrange. Damn, Xebec actually trying for once? I liked Madoka (hmm.wonder if THAT show had anything to do with the naming) even if she comes across as too perfect, it's refreshing to see a character like her in a mecha series.

Wow, what beautiful visuals. I can't wait to see more. Loved it.
This love for Hirasawa Yui consumes me, washing over my dirty weeaboo body with a cleansing warmth that allows me to reach greater heights. It inspires me to be a better man; not the man they deserve, but the man she deserves. Yui, I love you. With everything I have. You are my one, my only. Mai waifu.

I was debating on what to watch with my limited time, but this one looks like a winner. Hopefully this anime gets to be at least ''x'amd'' or better quality. From the screenshots posted it seems that that may be the case. So.... only time will tell if it can hold onto its "goodness"

It was much greater than I expected. I think characters are good, and mechanics are kind of innovative.
Some parts of the scene, like sea or the moon were so great. Beautiful blue surface of the earth. Barren rocky surface of the moon. They're so contrastive that we re-realize it.

Well, judging from the OP and ED, I expect three girls friendship story, not love romantic one.

This was terrible. Every single thing was cliche and I don't care about any of it, and I'm appalled that anyone chose to watch this instead of Aquarion

i might follow it for tits, but that's about it

I mean, that one guy on ANN really hit the nail on the head when he said this show is like the kid at the science fair who makes a baking soda volcano.

The OP is gorgeous, I just love all the colors in it. The song is great too.
I love the mecha designs, they look incredibly detailed.
Madoka is a fun character too.

But somehow, I didn't enjoy the episode that much. Had slightly higher expectations. But it was still a fun watch.

I am liking Madoka, seems like a great character, nice personality. Lan is emotionless but she made it funny a couple times. Good mcs!

Robots design ain't too complicated and I like it, looks real smooth along with the animation.

This show is rather run-of-the-mill, and the fanservice annoyed me. The CG is eye candy, but that's pretty much it.

Also, I don't get the love for Madoka. She's pretty much your generic plucky girl.

I was pleasantly surprised, I thought it was pretty awesome!

Madoka is great, and Lan is fun, can't wait to meet the busty one!

Mech designs are delicious, and the color scheme is fantastic...very....pastel?

Humor was pretty funny, and the fanservice was somewhat tasteful.

And, ofc, the Mecha Suplex was pure win!

I think I'll definitely be watching this one, and now with Viz/Hulu finally stepping their game up to 720p, it just makes it that much better!

Urahara Out!!

Hrm...average. Probably the tenth time I've seen a knife eject from the leg area of a mech. Opening theme is catchy though.

It is kind of where your sheath would rest against if you were carrying a sword. Would you feel better if it came out his ass? It would make sense that most weapons come from the waist/thigh area since it would emulate common human behavior to carry our weapons in those areas.

You could have a point about show being generic or "average". The problem is I think you picked the wrong sample item to make your case with. To me, it just makes you sound "nit picky" and looking for an excuse to not like the show more.

I agree with you on the OP. I like ethereal trance music. The OP sounds sweet.

because there is an aquarion fan that wanted us to become aquarion fans as well, the 2 shows don't have anything in common
