Writing was a mess, it's like they aired the second or third episode as the first episode. Visuals were good though, but eh, I'll see where it goes.

Also about Hiroyuki Yoshino's character my first thought was 'is he supposed to be the Joker' and then the character pulled the joker card, little bit on the nose there.

[Gunpla King]

this makes me think of the Garo series but more science fiction than fantasy.

[magnuskn]

Nyeh, this didn't convince me, none of the characters were particularly endearing of interesting and the cheap Blade Runner with super sentai suits knock-off doesn't interest me, either. Dropped.

[grecefar]

both girls were fun to watch and the armors are cool, let's see how this goes.

[Trogdor Jube]

Music was pretty cool. Nothing outstanding so far but I will keep at it since I owe it to Bones.

[Nachtwandler]

It was pretty, but overall looked like a generic original sci-fi from bones. Rogue looks quite autistic also, and it is obvious that the director worked with Shinichiro Watanabe before (they made Carol & Tuesday together). I am not impressed but will watch it at least for the setting and animation for now (but I fear it will end like all similar titles from Bones being quite a wasted potential).

Pluses:

- I liked Rouge's little personality quirks. At least twice she responded to the same input with the same response. "Nah, I'm good" when being asked if she wanted something else to eat. And "I had no idea there was an actual person talking through the bird." So there's a bit of robot-ness to her. But there was also that point where the bird asked her if she was still self-aware and she responded a bit comically. Is self-awareness something she can lose?

- There are hints at a bigger world. There's mention of an armistice. The two dudes working at the club mention something about aliens and "Visitors" seemingly indicating that aliens do exist. And while we don't yet know who it sounds like Rouge killed two other of the Immortal Nine already.

- There's certainly the potential for all sorts of AI loyalty and rebellion plots. Like with the poor worker android not being able to fight back at having his life stolen and dying a painful death.

Minuses:

- While extended first episodes or episode pairs don't work for every show, I do wish I knew a bit more about what's going on. Way too early to judge the story, plenty of time for things to fill in, but I'd have liked to have had a bit more.

- I wished the city was a little more visually vibrant.

- The fight scene at the end, while fine, didn't blow me away. I'm hoping for more impressive scenes going forward.

All in all, I'll stick with it for now. A slow first episode in the middle of a story doesn't come close to making me want to rule a show out. But it will need to pick up and make sense eventually.

There was enough here to pick my interest. A lot of mysteries but I like that. Rouge has a nice design and the suits are not CGI!

I took the whole thing about aliens as an idiotic conspiracy theory. You know, the kind you can come across after five minutes of browsing Twitter (if you don't know, keep it that way). Not saying it's impossible, but I don't know why some random guy in a bar would know better than the rest of the population.

I was really confused by the setting just randomly being Mars, but now it makes sense... also helps explain how underwhelming the whole first episode was.

This series was on my preseason radar and it was interesting enough to maybe give another episode but I'm leaning towards dropping this. Characters are all very cardboard so far.

[FlareKnight]

It really is something that the first enemy was basically screaming questions the audience would be having right now. Why is she going after these people? Who the heck is the MC really? I don't have a clue! Yeah, that one guy is extremely shady and pretty evil. But the woman that was taken out seemed to be trying to live a life. Clearly was up to stuff in the attempt to get herself in the clear, but beyond that I'm not sure.

I like the cool designs for the combat forms and the action was good.

There's just not that much to sink my teeth into yet. Lot of setup for the setting and such. But I'm still waiting for something more here. Will see what episode 2 brings.

Spoiler for ep1:

So basically there are androids and humans, and then there are super androids
The protagonist is a super android trying to kill this group of super androids
The protagonist just needs to survive long enough for her partner to uhh... analyze the opponent which allows her to kill the enemy in one punch because... analyze!

The animation was nice, and the fact it is hand-drawn gives it big points after seeing CG monsters in every other anime this season so far
But the story kinda... I don't know, it's Bones, yes, for better or for worse. We've seen these types of dark atmosphere, protagonist not human working in the shadows, kinda rock-y(?) things before
But hey, I'll take an average original anime over the other average, not original stuff. What, 20 Narous, 5 one-one romances, and 5 fanservice animes?

Oh yeah, that also had some black chick in it too in the main pair

[Guardian Enzo]

That was what I would expect a mecha anime written by an A.I. to be like.

[KitsuKyouno]

It seen as cool serie but also one that people forgot quickly, unless something big happend
