I don't know how I should process what I've just watched, but I'm strangely filled with the urge to request for a gif of a sunrise. This particular sunrise occurs in episode 1, between the timecode of 0019-0023. If it is doable, I shall thank you sincerely. Yours truly!

The concepts have been around since the 1970s and are capable of transmitting a few kilowatts of energy, so it's not too difficult to scale things up and have the system supply enough energy to address humanity's energy requirements by the time Vividred Operation happens

VROOM 01 - Science Aesthetic Miracle
Though it's very structurally similar to Strike Witches, VRO actually feels a lot more like a traditional magical girl series, with the transformation sequences and the mascot(/grandpa) assisting our heroine. (I am aware that Witches had animal familiars, but they've never really been emphasized in the anime.) I enjoyed Strike Witches a lot, but some of the elements this has in place - the futuristic setting and the largely fictional technology, not to mention a smaller number of heroines in the core cast - means I may end up slightly preferring this one. That everyone is designed and named like they were members of Bioman is also a plus. The scenery looks really nice, and Akane's a great character. Though... a red-haired girl voiced by Ayane Sakura with a large amount of focus on her butt. Come on, fanart community, don't let me down here. Though with the pastoral setting and the way Akane's family life is like, I also thought a bit of Tamako Market. I compare because I love. The Palette Suits haven't actually done anything yet, so I'm looking forward to seeing them in action. Akane's also not the first character I've encountered this week who loves mayo that much. There's at least three magical or quasi-magical girl shows on the air this season, and for me, this means good times are ahead. Last edited by Midonin; 2013-01-13 at 11:37. |

I was very much looking forward to this show, though my expectations might have been too high. This first episode was rather disappointing, though I'll still give it more of a chance. I guess I just can't enjoy anime that are derivative jumbles of tropes anymore, without any coherent sense or original plot.

Anyway. I read that a long time ago, but that's what came to mind when Akane mentioned having unlimited energy from that thing.

It's the "Engine of Infinite Fate" Dornkirk is developing in Escaflowne. At least we know what this one's actually FOR, but not how it works. To twist the words of someone else on the internet: Magic because SCIENCE. (The other guy said magical girls because SCIENCE. That also applies.)
