Episode 1
Spoiler:
Madoka is a multitasking super jock who is part of MANY sport clubs. Apparently it has something to do with her being in a so called gym shirt club, which she is the sole member of
She saves a person from drowning one day, but when she comes back to her uniform she took off earlier it has gone missing. Not discouraged by this, she simply wears her gym clothes over her swimsuit and goes to class as usual.
After school, she is met by a strange girl who is wearing her clothes. The strange girl proceeds to strip in public and return the clothes to Madoka. Before Madoka can say anything more, the girl seems to have disappeared from sight.
The next day, Madoka meets the girl again after class when she is trying to recruit more new members for the gym shirt club she created.. because there's no such thing as not enough clubs for Madoka. Madoka is excited that she is finally getting a member for a her club, but is taken a back by how formal the other girl's language is.
Madoka tells the other girl that she thought the other girl was a doushi / 同士 / comrade of the same age, but it appears that the other girl might be her senior judging from her language. The other girl says she does not understand what comrade means. Madoka tells her that it's someone who help each other in needs.
The other girl agrees to be Madoka's comrade, and since they are now comrades, she is in need of Madoka's help. She wants Madoka to get in a giant robot.
Madoka: what...?
So she drags Madoka to an artificial island base, and the plot dictates that this would be a good time for an alien invader robot to attack.
The other girl says that Madoka only needs to get in the robot. The controls itself will be done remotely from the island's command center. Madoka uses this moment to ask just who the hell the other girl is, to which she replies that she's an alien. Madoka seems surprised, but she fires on her next question. Just when exactly did the other girl arrive at this city? The other girl says she arrived yesterday. Madoka is happy with that answer, because it means the other girl hasn't gotten to know the good things about this city yet.. (and Madoka will be glad to show her)
Madoka then rides the giant robot, (which is still in plane form)
As said, the machine is controlled remotely from the island HQ, but it doesn't do very well and only manages to ram into the invading alien robot's energy shield. As this happens, the screen display inside Madoka's machine shuts down and reboots itself, transforming the machine into a robot, and breaking free from the energy shield. Madoka now has manual control over the machine.
The invader does not like what happened and charges at Madoka with its energy sword. Madoka, now having full control of her machine, stops the attack midway.
Madoka says she's pretty good with kendo, but for this occasion she has something else in mind. She then performs a german suplex on the invader. 1...2...3... it's a submission hold win!
So yeah, the show really follows a template so far, but what makes it worth watching is the lead heroine, Madoka.

Second, the law has to be predictable. There has to be a reasonable expectation that the rules tomorrow are going to be roughly the same as the rules today. And third, the authority has to be fair. It can’t treat one group differently from another.” Malcolm Gladwell
