As I've always said, one episode is not enough to say anything. However, I liked episode one, it was fun to watch mostly due the fun and amusing heroine. And yes, her enthusiasm is kinda like Kyouma ain't it? Didn't even realize that unitl AiCon mentioned it.

Definitely waiting for the next episode.

Don't know what is the deal with talking about Chaos;Head only, this is as much related to Steins;Gate as it is to Chaos;Head. Also, I enjoyed Chaos;Head despite it limitations due to length.

Anyone else think that Gunvarrel was inspired in some way by Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann? It was certainly inspired by the hot-blooded mecha genre, that's for sure.

Because so far, although both Steins;Gate and Chaos;Head are in the same universe as this series, the only connection it had with Steins;Gate was that it is in the same world line. But as for Chaos;Head, the girl said the exact same line from Chaos;Head. That hints a real connection to its story.

Can't say that, TTGL wasn't the only such mecha.

It was nice. Liked it better than Steins Gate first episode. I also liked Akiho a lot. Its refreshing to see a female lead who actually has dreams and wants something more than the MC's cock.

That was pretty mediocre actually....if it wasn't part of the VN series I might have dropped it. Disappointing after steins;gate but hopefully it'll get better.

I really like the characters of this show! Though they have their own quirks which give them their personalities the show isn't obsessive about those.

For example, the main lead really likes Gunvarrel but to him it's still just a hobby and he doesn't go insane with it like other characters who are obsessed with videogames(Keima from TWGOK comes to recent memory but there are others too). The girl knows she is too positive with her outlook on life but you can't help but like her because she's just so rounded out and isn't a ditz.

As for the plot, I wonder how this show ties into the Steins;Gate universe with this highschool club who builds robots? Also what the heck was with that chick at the end?

I thought it was interesting on it's own; completely different from C;H and S;G though.

I will say that that end scene with whoever that was that said "Whose eyes are those eyes??" certainly pleased me greatly! I'll be curious to know how that fits into the plot.

People comparing this with Steins;Gate, seriously? It's in a school setting and it's about robots. Of course it's not gonna have the same 'wow' factor Steins had.

I actually like the school setting and slice of life feel of this Anime. I like how laid-back the male MC is. Playing Kill-Ballad on his handheld touch device. :D I loved how they showed the in-game gameplay of Kill-Ballad. That was so awesome. It reminds me a lot of Custom Robo Arena.

The female MC is such an air-head. I like her personality though. Dang I can tell I'm gonna love this Anime when more episodes are out. Got lots of potential. :)

Overall great first episode. Looking forward to more.

An okayish episode. I'm not expecting this to be anywhere near as good as Steins;Gate, but that's fine. They are obviously trying to do something different with every VN in the series. I just hope the anime will give us some cameos besides Nae. I wouldn't mind seeing adult Okarin or young Suzuha.

I don't really care if it's the next Steins;Gate or not. I already got one Steins;Gate, why watch another one?

But seriously, this wasn't half as annoying as it could have been with that hyperactive girl. Demotivational guy made for a good antipole. I liked the charcter designs quite a lot, too. Especially the boy and girl's hair. I really don't know about the robot though. Looks kinda cool, we most likely get to see an even cooler version soon.

For a first episode, we get the premise, storywise nothing else really happens, but that should be expected from a 22 episode series, no need to rush anything.

Potentially enjoyable at least.

Steins;Gate started slow as well, imo. Definitely excited about this anime, but it did start a bit slow. I will say that even though Stein's Gate started slow, I could tell I was going to like it a lot. This one, I'm not so sure.

For those of you complaining that peeps are comparing this to Stein's Gate. I pretty sure people don't want it to be like Stein's Gate, at least I don't. I think they just want it to be as good, or at least, close to as good as Stein's Gate was. On a quality level. As opposed to a clone level. What do you expect after the popularity of Stein's Gate?

is this going to be 12 or 24 epds? Anyway this was a good 1st epd. I really like Akiho Senomiya, and the boy was chill. I loved that they want to build a giant robot before they finish high school. the kicker is they have 6 months and they have to compete in a robot fighting league to get the funds. its slow but I have a feeling it will pick up more as the epds are released.

The only thing i liked about this was that spirited girl but that's the only thing this Anime has going for it and there are several other Anime out there with spirited girls as well.
The male character just seemed like one of those brainless teenagers staring at a smartphone all day long not noticing what happens around them.
And no matter where they are or what there doing and the government finds it strange why traffic accidents are increasing again.
Tho in his case it wasn't a smartphone but a tabloid which is probably one of the most useless things Apple came up with i mean when your home you can use a ultra book or normal computer and when your out you can use your smartphone why bother with something like a tabloid.

Having loved Steins;Gate I was really looking forward to this. Have to say the first episode was decent. Characters seems to be interesting. It will be nice to see how this anime folds out. Not a bad start at all :)

Also I would like to add that it's not completely fair to compare this to steins;gate yet but then people will always do that I guess.

I really enjoyed this episode (nothing wrong with some slice of life). I don't know what people were expecting from this show to be so disappointed (and it's only the first episode too). Maybe some people were expecting a different kind of show? I also didn't realize Steins;Gate was so popular. I enjoyed it, but clearly not as much as some others did.

Slow first episode, I think this anime will have the same approach with Steins;Gate. So, the only question is when will the shit get real this time.

Can't wait for it. I'm excited.

Even Steins;Gate starts out as an ordinary anime which was quite boring in the beginning (with all that talk and episode about Feyris or Ruka), but it still triumphed as one of the best animes ever. We're only at episode ONE, so let's be patient.

Alot of people seem to want this anime to be like Steins;Gate just because they have a shared universe which is the wrong mindset IMO. Its like reading The Incredible Hulk and getting pissed off that its not like Iron Man.

Best anime this season hands down. This episode was a perfect setting for the rest of the series. If you have watched Steins;Gate and Chaos;Head you should know that it's a perfect intro for a good mindfuck latter in the series :) Anyways i can only do positive comments from the Op to the ED, for the animation and designs for the chars and the minimal info we got about their goal. Plus that last line was complete :| Seems like a future robot or something saying the well known phrase from Chaos;Head.

I hope the scene from the intro comes quickly into play (episode 6 maybe), since even that sounds kinda boring to me, otherwise we are in for a VERY slow start (or into a boring plot)

Liking the first episode so far. Just like the VN the first minute gave me a huge anticipation of what to expect from a thriller. "A hot-headed female protag with a passion for robots" haven't seen those a lot.
And Airi at the end of the episode made a very reminiscing line. Can't wait for more.

Slow but entertaining episode. I'm already liking Aki's overly enthusiastic personality. The concept of building a robot may not be the most interesting idea out there, but I think the character interactions will make up for it. Just like Steins;Gate, this may take a while before it becomes amazing.
