Hi there, I just finished watching episode 1 and... I have high hopes for this anime
Madoka is very cute and I just love her eager attitude
. Together with Lan, they make a good comedy duet.
Madoka is not that slow, dim-witted protagonist who just says "huh? what?" when they are faced with the choice to ride a giant mecha. No, Madoka piloted that bot like a pro on the very first time, successfully bringing down the enemy with a cool German suplex.
But, I've seen other mecha anime and the story is sooo cliche. Yes, a protagonist with the so-called "legendary weapon", a secret organization plotting to do whatever they have to do, and the sister who knows everything about the conspiracy. Oh yeah, and the "promise" made in the past, I've had quite enough of that.
Overall, it's a good anime and the OP was so good. I just liked the Madoka-Lan comedy duet. Just hope it doesn't move towards shoujo-ai.
