Awesome. Great work, I loved the city/location scifi design.
But hated the death of the character I came to the show in the first place to watch...

This is pretty much my string of thoughts/reactions throughout the episode:
Spoiler for Reactions/saving space:
"Ruined town, wonder what happened."
"Two years ago?"
"No male lead (no romantic subplot?) that sucks, this city looks pretty awesome though"
"Finally! Kanade! MmmmMmm, I approve. Me want."
"Screw the male lead, I like where this is going. Kiss please."
"Wait, what? Idolm@ster? This is fantastic"
"Wait, what? Transformation AND singing? Singing while fighting? AR TONELICO!?!?"
"These enemies are pretty plain, but the way they attack is awesome."
"This fight scene is so absurd it's amazing, I'm loving every second."
"Damn it girl, run faster!"
"Kanade is a god damn champion."
"Kanade, what are you doing?? Listen to Tsubasa! NOooOoooOooOOooOOo!!!"
"This is a horrible trade, I want Kanade back"
"I want Kanade back"
"I want Kanade back"
"I want Kanade back"
"Cold, distant Tsubasa is kind of really hot."
"I can't even remember this girl's (Blondie) name. I want Kanade back"
"That looks like it bloody hurts. Wait, what? Adding insult to injury. Get your own damn armour girl. I WANT KANADE BACK."
That being said, my eyes were glued to the screen the entire time. It's a wonder I somehow remembered to breathe. Good ol' nature, doing things for me automatically. |
Yeah, not once did you even mention the lead let alone by name, I was enjoying the setting they were creating and love scifi so I was loving the city design, and the bizarreness of the noise and how they attacked as you mentioned and the unexpected violence with the civilians and most especially the kinetic style of action they were going for particularly with Kanade's badass moves (and Tsubasa's later with her cool KOS-MOS colored armor), if they didn't kill her and trade in my favorite character going in, and at that point, for the lame and least favorite character (even within the story it seems since now when they went back to the present Hibiki's now still alive even though she should be dead while Kanade's gone) this would have been a rock solid premiere, instead I didn't even really like her even when she was protecting the other kid and using Kanade for motivation which I'm sure was the idea and instead I spent the whole time whenever she was on the screen wanting Kanade back and wanting the first half of the ep back, heck I would have rather seen Kanade have to deal with failing to save her. I suppose weirdness could still occur since something funky seemed to happen with the timeline if she's dead and then alive (at least for now) in the present.
That said, the pacing was really good (except for the school lull).
