Who doesn't love watching girls with swords and fighting and are equipped with oh-so-awesome robotic, futuristic weapons? That's my kind of genre.
When I found about this anime, coming for 2012, I was like 'hey! I'm looking forward for this one' for I was captured by the teasers, plus not to mention Nana Mizuki was one of the dubbers. So I was like really expecting BIG for this one.
Okay, to be honest, I was fascinated by the opening song! The soundtracks were good, and they can bring up a good fighting atmosphere, giving the main characters a 'tough' aura.
Then the first episode showed a
...
lot of stuff leaving the audience wanting more. The fighting scenes were awesome, though I find it annoying how they jump from one scene to another without giving much detail how they got up into that scene. Anyway, the flashblacks were a bit helpful to hold their audiences, like in the first episode where we can see Miku crying and the city was ruined by unknown causes, then a flashblack from 2 years before that catastrophe happened.
The animation wasn't that bad, the characters were not that bad either.And also there are strong hints of shoujo-ai here. The plot was very predictable, or maybe, we can say, the 13 episodes didn't suffice the whole idea of the story. I can say that the idea of using this ancient relics activated by a song, and then used as a powerful weapon through the help technology, is very creative and simply astonishing. But they didn't give an awesome plot for this awesome idea. Too bad.
The ending. Oh god! twas really horrible. Everything happened in a very fast manner that they fail to give a splendid and satisfying finale.
But hey! I'm not saying you should pass on this one, people had diff'rent points and ideas. And if you're fan of fancy girls in a armour kicking alien butts, well, this one's for you:)
