This was a surprisingly good first episode, considering all the flack it got during the initial TV airing. Yes, the character animation was poor, but I didn't mind it, and I enjoyed how the TSFs were animated. Maybe I'm just so happy to see the BETAverse animated that I'm blinded to quality. Then again, Yuuhi looked ugly as hell. If the VN trilogy gets adapted, they better get better animators on the project. On the story side, I'm glad to see a little history of the invasion of Japan. As the others already said, they did a good job in capturing the feeling of despair as the frontlines slowly encroached over Japan. The second episode is sure going to be a blast.

It goes to show the odds a newbie surviving a real fight has low survival expectations. |

It's taken the BETA twenty-six years just to reach Japan. And most of their land falls were in Europe. Any other fans don't spoil the other planet fall.

Wonder how they're gonna handle a lead guy surronded by all those girls. I've been to Boot Camp that had girls seperated from us though we still worked together in our training. Even with the bulky and unattractive uniforms and birth control glasses it didn't stop some from fooling around or getting attached to each other. And that was only 9 weeks! Fort Sil.
Mecha Anime also tends to follow the rule that if you have a group of male and female pilots working together someones gonna catch feelings... Which usually leads to an early grave. I don't see why it took so long since there were so many in the first episode and they just curbstomped the military like they weren't even there. |

I see... Well, I guess I'll just have to wait for the series to elaborate more on that. Figured I would hold off on the games since I don't want to spoil myself too much so I can be surprised when things are revealed here.

First episode was nice, probably the second best one out of all new premieres for me. Production wise I thought everything looked pretty decent. The extremely tight suits are really distracting given the tone though. I've already heard the reason for them, but it just sounds like BS honestly. If you really want fanservice, then just do it without the poor excuse.

Meh. NGE has similar issues (especially with Asuka's latest iteration of her plug suit), so it doesn't bother me here.
I think that is EXACTLY the point they're trying to convey. And I love it, considering we haven't had a mecha anime this desperate in the very first episode for a VERY long time.
