It's not perfect, but I can't bring myself to really dislike this series just yet. Decent episode, though nothing entirely new.

Indeed... It's not excellent, but there is nothing wrong with it either..
But, as usual, everyone dismissed the CG (which isn't that bad) as a bad thing..

As for the episode, I don't like the new Haruki (I think that was his name) character... he's the typical annoying teenager full of angst towards his father... overdone. Still, I'd bear him if he had any decent skills, but he only gets in the way. >.>

He probably won't, but I hope he dies. xD

When he got introduced, it kinda felt like he would die soon. We'll see. ^^

LOL I like the series so far. I'm an action junkie.
It has plenty of interesting characters and the plot looks like it might go places.

The lack of comedy and loli's is refreshing. We need more action / sci-fi series :D

QFT

Not a bad show. Like Cyruz said, can't hate it quite yet. Then again, I never rarely drop anything I pick up so I'll most likely watch this to the end anyway. Also, that one girl, can't remember her name yet, has boobage to rival Dragonaut's gals xD

Also.... Saiki is awesome. :3

This looks like an action anime that gets the job done but that's it, nothing more, nothing less.

Animation's great but for the moment that's all I really appreciate in this show. Protagonists are stereotyped and the sci-fi post-war background is nothing new either. It lacks something to create an exciting atmosphere, even during the action scenes.

I'll probably continue to watch this when I have time (at least 4 episodes), because it kinda reminds me of Blassreiter (not just because of the CG) which got better after the first few episodes.

I really hate this new character, but I would like to find out more about Saiki.
What does he see(ep1), what is that thing on his eye, why is he acting like he is.
This things will probably be explained later on, but for now I am OK with this show.

When I saw the cover-picture I thought something like "oh my, not another mecha series"... it turned out to be exactly just that. But not all hope is gone. I think this could actually become something really interesting. We'll see.

(why the hell am I getting dejavus of power rangers when watching this... o.O)

Team Viper appears to be a very cold group.. Haruki is the best but his blademan skills are horrid.

I was a bit reluctant to watch this, but it seems a tad bit interesting... It has a chance to be good... Although, it reminds me alot of a really old mecha anime... =3=

I have a feeling the new guy is going to die as well, which is a shame because I like him already. He's more likable than most of the other characters at least.

I get the feeling this is going to be a mindless action series with a barebones plot just for minimal set up for the mech fights. It's not bad, but I'd like it to spice things up a notch.
