This review contains some spoilers:
Literally the only redeeming factors of this show were the character Halter and the fact that I had the best time drinking and making fun of this show (the only reasons this has a 2 and not a 1.) The story was a convoluted mess that was only about a quarter explained. I had the only the vaguest idea of what was happening. The villain was given no explanation to his motives and while the two main characters meet him, it's glossed over for at least 2 episodes (??!!!???). And the two Automatons don't use their full power in any meaningful
...
way - RyuZU doesn't use her imaginary gear and AnchoR doesn't use her kickass guns or her ability to send things into the frickin shadow realm when facing the big bad. Those powers appear once or twice and are never brought when it would be useful because their Master doesn't want them to do what they're programmed to do. It's also never explained just how Naoto saves the world; he and Marie just do cuz they're great and they fixed the world in their Pacific Rim: Clockwork Edition rigs while playing celestial DDR.
The characters were all tropes stapled onto horrible designs (save RyuZU, that character design deserved a better show) and all came off as mary sues who were geniuses who could do anything. The soundtrack wasn't cohesive and flipped from dramatic to comedic abruptly. The art was inconsistent and felt straight out of a 2002 anime. They faces changed frame to frame in VERY noticeable ways and the CGI stuck out like the sorest of thumbs.
Only watch this show if you have nothing better to do and enjoy wasting 4 to 6 hours of your time.
