The music is nice here. Some of the characters look like clowns with their weird colorful clothes. Everything is so colorful here. Despite that, there are some cool looking characters. The pink haired protagonist is cool despite his, well, pink hair. I'm excited to see this colorful anime.

Bones always succeed to hype premise of series but end the series abruptly

[OkamiNoKaze]

Cool, I like what appears to be a car that can transform into a robot Centaur, that Guyver-like character looks cool too.

あとは何だろ。毎話の繋がりはあまり気にしないでいいようで気にしとかないといけないやつ。毎話の時系列を 把握するの大変そう。3話までは會川さん脚本だったけど今後辻真先さん・中島かずきさんの脚本回が見れるの も楽しみ。帰ったら神化三六年はやく読もう #コンレボ

>There were 3 episodes screened at the event.
>OP & ED was included from 1st episode + insert song (seems there will be many classic songs from showa period)
>It feels like watching UN-GO
>There will be many guest characters & seiyuu in each episodes
>Many tokusatsu references, it's really fun if you know the references
>If you enjoy FMA & UN-GO, most likely you'll ended up liking this show

Additionally, anon who wrote this is a fan of Eriko Nakamura, and he/she's surprised with her character acting (as Saburouta), it feels different from her usual voice / typical characters.

I'm even more interested in these:

Not much of a chronological order, it's not the type of show that you can watch while not really paying attention.

Apparently it's the kind of anime with "guest" characters and guest seiyuu in each ep.

[Stark700]

Funimation posted on their blog that they will be streaming it

Well, this was tons of fun! Really nice visuals, really nice character designs (duh), really nice animation, fun story, overall really fun. This episode felt kind of like a more lighthearted version of Darker than Black, with more tokusatsu.

The only thing I didn't like was Kikko being such a stereotypically "silly girl" character, I found that a bit grating. Hopefully they'll dial it back later on, going by the future(?) scenes.

[MisaoFan]

Spoiler for Episode 1:

Yep, it was exactly just as fun as I would expect. I actually really love the colorful and slightly vintage feeling it had, the premise is interesting and I actually enjoyed seeing the mystery elements of it, keep in mind that I indeed pay attention to it. On the other hand, I'm actually not so sure if I can trust the staff's words seeing what kind of future direction it takes (the writer told me it'll take a darker turn later on), since I watched a lot of originals and usually really disappointed me (Vivid Red Operation, Valvrave the Liberator even though those are Aniplex's own IPs etc.), that's why I'll watch it knowing I had low expectations to begin with (only such ones that actually interested me this season are Comet Lucifer and Valkyrie Drive: Mermaid). So far I'll just enjoy the episodic mystery cases and see if the bits and pieces of linear plotline will soon unveil itself near the end of season one.

Spoiler for 1:

This episode is good, I think.
And yes, this is really the type of anime where you should pay attention to the detail or you could get confused.

So basically, the story began with year 41 shinka where Jiro and Kikko (a magical girl who works in a cafe) met for the first time.
Since I only understand like 60% of the dialogue, I don't really get the detail of the transaction between the professor and that spy, and why everyone targeting that stuff that the spy gave to professor (later Kikko stole it)

But what make it interesting, the story suddenly jumped on year 46 shinka. Where in this time, it seems Jiro already quits the hero association / Choujin-ka, and older Kikko (she said she's 20 years old this time) & Furouta trying to capture him.

Back to year 41, it seems the spy true identity is an alien from another planet. And when he trying to get what stolen from, he use the body of S Yuseijin. Lucky for everyone because Grossorgen, a giant superhero like ultraman who always help human to fight invaders from space, came and fighting S Yuseijin in alternate time / place so civilians can't get hurt.

In short, grossorgen won and S Yuseijin captured by Jiro. But I kinda confused with the background of Grossorgen. What I could understand is, actually the one behind Grossorgen's act is a human (who can transform to grossorgen, just like Ultraman). He saved grossorgen and gave him his body so grossorgen doesn't die / disappear, but in return he want Grossorgen's power to defend earth from threats from space. But it seems he knows that grossorgen actually hate fighting, and he just want to go back to his home planet. So Jiro make a negotiation with this man, to return Grossorgen to his home planet, but the only problem is, the man already gave his body, so if grossorgen back to space, apparently he will die (I don't really understand, lol). That's what Kikko saw and believe in year 41. She against this deal, and she really couldn't understand Jiro's reason.

And the real truth behind this negotiation revealed 5 years later, in year 46. After Kikko chase Jiro and finally cornered him, the man that she thought was dead 5 years ago suddenly appears. It turns out that Jiro actually gave him a new body, S Yuseijin's body which he captured. Until this point I can still understand, but it seems the reason why Jiro leave the hero association / choujin-ka is still mystery to me. And in the end of episode he finally escaped from Kikko again, this time with new S Yuseijin.

I guess the story will continue like this, alternating between year 41 and 46, til we find out the reason why Jiro ran away from Kikko and the others. Anyway, this is really interesting, not to mention the animation is really good too.
