"alien fighting" or "mecha" mean absolutely nothing in terms of what kind of story we'll get. All we know about this show is it's a "school robot action anime". That's like saying Utena is a "school sword battle anime"; it could mean anything whatsoever about the storyline, to which we have no clues whatsoever.
I'm surprised by the vitriol against Soul Eater and Heroman in this thread. I didn't like either show, but then I didn't expect to - they're for kids, and all the beautiful animation in the world won't make me enjoy stereotypical shounen fare like this. It didn't really work ten years ago and it certainly doesn't now!
