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. |
While all the young girls are eyeroll-inducing, I think it's been far less distasteful then it could be. Young girls are a thing in anime, so if Bones can deliver a good story, I can forgive them for having a bunch of those girls in the show. They could have easily increased the young girl effect a thousand-fold, so I consider ourselves lucky.
Episode seven finally got the ball rolling (a little), so I do think there's going to be more to this story than some boy-in-a-harem.
Edit: woops. It's late. It was actually episode six, so if you're still not thinking the story is going anywhere, oh well.
