Outfits are a little too fanservicey for me. But I do like the cast. The song used in the trailer was pretty good. Plus Nana and KitaEri doing the opening and ending themes definitely have me interested. Hopefully Kitamura does more of her rock stuff.

When I first stumbled the visuals, I thought it looked like Simoun due to the mecha theme and an all-girls cast. Then I looked at the sexy futuristic suits and singing theme, I was immediately reminded by Symphogear and it even had Nana Mizuki as the main heroine. I hope the character songs will be awesome in this one even if they aren't on par with the later.

Since the show is not so politic-intensive I doubted if it can be anything
like CG or VVV. In contrast I think it's a more likely pretty girl show like Mai-hime, or, as it looks very apparent, Wake Up Girls. Just look at the character archtypes you will find that: Ange = Mayu Shimada (former idol with frustrating back history) Salia = Nanami Hilda = Yoshino (talented player but not working well with MC) Vivian = Minami (the ace and mascot character) Rozalie = Miyu Ersha= Kaya (the big-sis type) Chris = Airi Hayashida It'll most likely have serious plots like the couple I just mentioned (both did have some serious part), but it just won't be the Lelouch experience. |

Another mecha anime from Sunrise that it's sounds promising judging from its all-star cast.
However, I suspect that this show might derail itself like Valvrave and Buddy Complex, not to mention that a certain prolific voice actor like Koyasu might ruin everything. (Sorry for bashing him. I personally stay away from him.) Not being optimistic on this one! |

Anyways, I wonder if Mitsuo Fukuda would insert some flashbacks this time around, or regain his reputation with this anime series. |

Other than that, the preview looked pretty cool, actually. The music was very Kajiura-ish, but the visuals looked nice and the premise seems unique enough to warrant a look.

I'm actually fine with the robot. Even though the design screams "unoriginal!!!" (cue Freedom's wings, Strike Freedom's color-scheme, and head-visor design borrowed from countless mechas out there), it looks rather elegant. Quote:
OMG! Why would you do that? Are you a masochist?

My beef is more in the overall blatant aspect of the design. I mean, it's one thing to design a sexy uniform. Lots of anime do that, even old school ones like Eva with the skin tight suits and plugs. But it's another thing to make an otherwise normal suit "sexy" by simply removing the area around the cleavage, waist, and crotch. The exposed underwear is even sillier. It barely covers the crotch! She's got all of this armor that covers the arms, legs, shoulders, and back.....and yet magically the sexy parts are exposed? Bleh. It's pandering, pure and simple. She has more coverage in her normal clothing! O_o On the bright side, at least she doesn't have watermelon breasts. So far. I just wish Japanese designers would realize that you don't have to dress women like this to make them look sexy. Or panty/crotch shot spam. Or excessive breast sizes and jiggle physics. It's become so cliche that it's not even erotic anymore. It's just stupid. Obviously there's people that still like this stuff....but it's become tiresome to me, personally.
