I know right? I'm not liking the OP song, but the visual is fine.

It's a shame cause the cars themselves were actually decently shaded but the entire backgrounds just looked like an old PS2 cutscene. And not even the good ones, the average to bad ones. Very disappointing coming from the studio who handled the Yamato remakes.
It's too bad too since the chase itself is fast and dynamic with decent camera angles. But somebody forgot to shade the environment or the money and the time were simply unavailable so they decided to sacrifice that scene to accommodate other more-important scenes. Xebec, as far as my experience with them, is known for making the most out of what they have when it comes to mecha anime.

The handdrawn animation in this episode itself is ranging from good to great aside from that still-frame when Arbalest shot the Amalgam agents with the vulcans.
