So thank you, EVOL, for making me bitter again.
Man I don't think it has anything to do with being original series, there's just been a rash of REALLY shitty mecha ones of late, again mostly produced by this very company Satelight, but also with a little help from Bones and I.G. It's really depressing because usually I love mecha originals, they're like my bread and butter of anime watching, and they just haven't been cutting it lately on account of the total slipshod writing and lack of focus that you mention. I also agree actually that they feel totally dishonest and like the writers couldn't really care less how much sense they make or how enjoyable the characters and their interactions are.

Really hoping this is the last of the bad stuff when it comes to mecha originals.
