Preliminary (2/17 chp)
After reading the second manga chapter I must say its not just a cheap copy of My Hero Academia, that first impression someone could get first seeing pictures of this series without context.
With the setting about super heroes it has similarities with My Academia and some elements from Full Metal Alchemist, without saying too much about the plot, but they are mixed in a distinct way. Whats more interesting is that the heroes themselves arent the focus but the machines in their own right.

The author Shibata is or was to my knowledge the assistant of the creator of MHA, so thats where the influence of the artstyle comes from. The biggest stength this series has are the distinct robot designs and the interesting concept behind it. I especially like it that the mechas arent to big like in other shows and have a more humanlike size. With that Shibata found a way to separate himself from his inspirational source.

The characters are good designed but dont have much depth e.g. the strong stupid brother and genius brother dualism, but are none the less quite enjoyable written with the humorous parts. The only good parts for me are the triangular relationship with the girl and the mysterious villain whose motivations arent fully known yet. Could also be that the series is just in the beginning and the character development could change.

Overall I would recommend this series if you like good action and recognizable artstyle, but also if you dont have too high demands for character depth. The story and idea behind it are still well written with suspense and I hope the next chapters follow this path like the last and the series wont meet the same fate as the last serializations on Weekly Jump and gets cancelled too early, Shibata deserves more recognition.
