Well I decided to watch this series finally today and caught up on all 6 episodes.
3 episodes in I was ready to proclaim the return of the BONES of old, but the next 3 episodes after that were really really poor.
I'm not sure why BONES thinks they need to mess with their setting and cast so much, a tried and true formula of success to make this series. Only kids can pilot these mechas, they should've said only underaged girls can pilot these mechas besides Ao, so subtle
.
Elena is ranking right now for worst character of the season. Her only purpose seems to be to cite otaku references and be off kilter. Terribly uninteresting.
I don't know, besides Ao, Naru, and the gramps, and perhaps Gazelle, I'm totally not feeling this new cast whatsoever. Fleur is ok at best.
Not awful, but disappointing stuff episodes 4-6. I really hope this series shapes up but the developments of episode 6 were pretty bad. Team goldilocks should get off the screen too. They're an eye sore.
