Is everyone a girl in this show?

[aroduc]

Depends on what you count Leopard as.

Other than Zero-bot, I think one guy with a name appeared... Sub-character, though, it seems.

[Kaioshin Sama]

.....I think.....from the sound of it there's no possible way I could ever enjoy this....

I'll give it a try anyway when the sub comes out, but from people's impressions it sounds like the very embodiment of the type of show I love to hate.

[aohige]

No, there's several male characters that appeared in the show.
So far, only one of them had a name. (friend of protagonist, and helped her get in the pod to sneak out to space)

The show was very enjoyable, and more than half of it had to do with Leopard's insane Lelouch-esque maniac laughs and over-the-top antics, as well as the adorable cuteness of the Imo-chan drone.

I just hope these girls don't start going into killing rampage with each other after the first season.

Cute mascot characters give me the creeps...The loli level also seem to be way too high for my taste but after skimming the raw it seems like a decent eye candy, I am a sucker for lots of bright colours and with this cast it would take a really silly story to drive me away before at least a few episodes have passed. The one mecha I saw didn't look too bad.

ep 1

Sippy cups...I laughed ^^'

Spoiler:

Well this certainly wasn't expected...I mean with zero appearing and all this time with more fire power than [insert something with immense fire power].

But having that said there was very little going for the series as of the first episode...and it would have remained relatively boring if it wasn't for zero showing up as crazy as he did.

While the production values are top notch there is something lacking...maybe that something was direction for the episode as of now I still have no idea what just randomly happened.

The characters proved to be interesting enough so far and yes, I even like the little yellow robot thing that floats around for some strange reason.

The "gags" as it were was cheesy...but in a good way hence it is all good. Stuff like "I HAVE CONTROL!" and "I CAN FLY" will hardly get old

And I am also pleased to say that the mecha designs are different from the usual biped designs and also looks rather cool imo. Nice time for a change

Overall a weird but enjoyable start but it can only go either up or down now...

@Deathkillz

"I have control" isn't a gag aimed at Gundam or Betterman reference, actually.
It's a real aviation reporting dialog. If you ever go to a flight school, you'll hear them.
That's why you hear pilots in fiction occationally use the phrase.

Although it IS funny seeing little cute robots utter the phrase...

[DragonBladeX]

One thing I noticed is quite a few company advertisement in this show. The ones I could catch is Lantis and Good Smile Company (mostly on the interspace highway scene). Is this going to be a trend for contemporary/futuristic Sunrise shows?

Loads of retro stuff in this show as well, old tech, old city even the ED has a vinyl disc player plus moped (and outfit to match). I'll be following this show to see how this comes together with the story.

[C.A.]

Goodsmile is on this? Win.

This will be the best mechandise anime we will see for some time.

This year is going to be heavy on anime run by merchandise, mainly because of the economy. And engaging Goodsmile would ensure that the anime will sell and probably because of that they can make the anime better in other aspects besides selling.

I know a certain someone won't be too happy about this, though .

Then you wouldn't be surprised that the cute mascot drone is the first character in the show to get the rule 34.

In another news, watched the first episode.

Spoiler for Ep 1:

A.I. Lulu/Zero + colony laser FAIL + "I have control" + I CAN FLY + colony drop FAIL + WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK I AM? + Endless Waltz Wing Zero = A show of Epic Lulz

I knew I heard it somewhere before but wasn't too sure...knowing that makes it even better

Plus it is the way ZERO says things in general

[Westlo]

That chick at the end stepped right out of Yozakura Quartet.

[musume_no_hoshi]

Oh my, it's better then what I expected. Nothing too out of the ordinary other then Zero appearing I don't even remember what the thing's name is.

Spoiler for Thoughts on episode 1:

The start was okay, fairly typical sci-fi setting, but nothing's wrong with it. The best part is definately Zero suddenly appearing, Zero x Excalibar= What ever that weird shape thingie is called. The personality really reminds me of Excalibar. If it wasn't for Zero appearing, I probally wouldn't have enjoyed this episode as much.

The mascot was pretty cute, 'I have control' seems quite cute.

I CAN FLY nuff said

I'll watch it till I get bored of it (like how I am bored of Index right now )

I actually think Kokuyou no kimi (english name was... Obsidian Prince, I think?) from My-HiME was mixed into the design as well.
You know, the OMG FLOATING EYEBALL OF DOOM idiot last boss. (Considering that this show is also My-HiME staff). It even has the similar color scheme.

If you're referring to me then it seems like it's already a little too late for the in show advertising aspect to have any extra negative impact on my first impression of it so far. That grievance only tends to come out when it's a series that I still have some realistic hope of seeing some degree of greatness from in the near future. The way I see it insult had already been added to injury long before that revelation came about and the way things look to be going the shows best shot at getting my attention now resides in the low tier guilty pleasure area of my tastes. The one where it's a really late night, there's not much else I feel like doing, and I really don't feel like thinking to hard, so I end up choosing to watch something that will give me my loli fix. They should be thankful that lately I'm in that sort of mood at least three days out of seven.

[musume_no_hoshi]

xD I have concluded that Sunrise decied that creating a 'meme' anime would make it automatically popular. Not artistcally good, just popular. At least it gets all the 2-channers or other forums to talk about it.

But my..what manga is that?
