Plot/Premise:

Quote:

On the day the Xianglong (Shanron or Soaring Dragon) Crisis occurred in 2031, Leon Lau was right in the middle of the unfolding events. The Quantum Reactor, a next generation energy device developed to replace dwindling environmental resources, exploded and unleashed an unknown energy. As a result, the global environment changed overnight. Living things (besides humans) and machines each underwent their own unique evolution, and the B.R.A.I. (Biological Revolutionary of Accelerated Intelligence) entity in particular evolved and came into being. As a result, humanity was driven to the brink of extinction. Humans fight the B.R.A.I with M.O.E.V. (Multi-purpose Organic Evolution Vehicle) variable units.

Episode 1: Well, this was... bland as hell.

Very, very bland and boring, and not even pretty to look at.

I never realized before that this is a Chinese coproduction - that explains all the Chinese names, but it might also explain why this doesn't feel like a Kawamori anime. (Hell, it feels less Kawamori than Aquarion Logos.) I really wouldn't be surprised if Kawamori was more or less just a window dressing here... I was set to follow this to the end but if it's going to be like this I'm not going to waste my time.

wuhugm · 2018-03-30, 10:43

^It's not anywhere yet

kuromitsu · 2018-03-30, 10:45

And yet.

Seek, and ye shall find - although this particular show is not really worth the energy.

PreSage · 2018-04-09, 22:00

First ep was uninteresting. Something felt really off about the whole set-up.

...and that Queen is annoying as hell. Your enemy is coming at you, your men are being killed left and right, and all you do is sit there smugly with little reaction. Trying to make a cool character but just doesn't work here.

Dropping this series.

Mistyclear · 2018-04-09, 22:03

....I’ll withhold judgment on it—though I did like the transformation sequence (maybe just me).

Tenzen12 · 2018-04-10, 14:25

It wasn't great, but it does have some potential. Leo seems like decent protagonist, mercenaries are cool and little "sister" is not annoying. I sort of like it.

EroKing · 2018-04-15, 10:49

wuhugm · 2018-04-15, 11:53

Aquarion vibe is strong with this one

Mistyclear · 2018-04-15, 12:20

I don’t like that princess. Everyone else is not bad as a character.

wuhugm · 2018-04-15, 12:52

I hope this goes imouto route

Tenzen12 · 2018-04-15, 14:26

Cool mercenary route would not be bad either.

Well whatever, cutest character is cat as always anyway.

DragoonKain3 · 2018-04-16, 00:54

I was wondering, how is Kawamori involved in this? Then I saw Aquarion again, and it doesn't help that two non-imouto female cahracters are voiced by HanaKana and Kayanon.

LOL at the villain though. Leon was kinda exiled for 7 years and he hasn't killed him yet? XD

Overall it's interesting, as I like Leon the world destroyer backstory. Certainly more interesting than FMP (the other mecha anime), but then again maybe I'm just tired of FMP now.
