I've finally figured out why this story isn't clicking with me -- they have the wrong MC. Aki's Char-quoting, scary shiny glasses act, her attempts to browbeat people into sponsoring her robot, and her technical interests are so much more fitting for a Science;Adventure hero(ine) than Kai's, "Oh, hey, there's plot happening? So not interested" attitude. If you dumped him and put the focus on Aki, the show would be awesome.
