^look, the show is titled "BUDDY COMPLEX," the main character shows awesome sync with the other main guy right in the first episode, and the mecha's system helpfully spells out "NICE COUPLING" (oh lol XDDDD) just in case there's someone not getting it. XD
I'm not entirely sure that this is a show where one should expect female pilots in the focus...
(I'm really looking forward to see how seriously this series will take itself, because it has all the makings of a hilariously tongue-in-cheek show. I hope Sunrise will have the guts to go there.)
