New Anime Announced for 'Toei Robot Girls' Project to Air in Jan 2014
The story revolves around a new team of "Toei robot girls" named "Team Z" that is made up of three girls based on Toei's Mazinger Z franchise: Mazinger Z, Great Mazinger, and UFO Robot Grendizer. Usually they perform in activities around Nerima ward in Tokyo to raise the awareness of the promising future energy source "Photon Power" (koushiryoku). However, there are times when "Mechanical Beast" team of girls emerge from the "Subterranean Empire" and attempt to steal the energy. Thus "Team Z" has to battle them to prevent this, though sometimes they just go and beat up the "bad girls" to relieve stress.
"Toei Robot Girls" project started life in 2009 with a weekly release of 4-koma manga (which lasted until February 2013). Merchandise and art books were also released over the years. In July 2011, it was adapted into a pilot anime video "Toei Robot Girls" that was based on the robots Baratak, Gakeen, and Gaking.

That I can agree with ^^. So, you were talking about that kind of show then, my bad. Can't wait for S2 to air though. Let's end it here since this is out-topic and I'm aware I might be dragging it lol.
More lolicons, atleast they got some clothes on.
I don't think this is an anime about lolicons... Unless the lolis in the show are lolicons... Is it possible for a loli to be a lolicon?

Next Gundam will be all about a simple highschool student finding a 8 year old cyborg girl, Gundam-Tan, who asks him to be her pilot.
(Don't worry, I also give it a 10 too though my score might change depending on S2.......really??)
Except that
If anything, VVV is closer to old-school super-robot shows

Don't be too sure. Nothing is sacred.
Especially when money is involved.
