Crunchyroll will carry the stream under the shortened name ARGEVOLLEN.

I like that fact that (most of) the mecha are bulky, ugly machines, and there aren't any untrained kids who are better than professional soldiers after five seconds in the cockpit, but damn that MC is annoying. I sure hope is CO comes from the Bright Noa school of discipline.

Doesn't seem to be much to this, it's your average mecha fare with a usual boy-falls-into-cockpit beginning. At least this one has a little training, I just wish he wasn't so unlikable.
In fact, both male and female MCs and most of the characters aren't that likable, both countries have issues, and the main mech is only okay. I love mecha, so I'll stick with it a bit longer, but I'm hoping it really finds its stride and shapes up.

Quite a good first episode. Given this is 24 episodes I believe it's got plenty of time. The only thing that felt off was the fact that the cgi wasn't very good and clearly stick out like a sore thumb. Other then that the mech designs were really good has a nice clunky feel to them expect for the MC mech at the end of episode. Cause you know the main character needs a nice new clean one to defeat the bad guys. Interesting world and premise. Hopefully it gets better.

In a mostly realistic military setting, you'd expect some believeable behavior from the protagonists. Anyway, aside from the MC, that was not so bad. I was not impressed by the so-called "main front" battle, but otherwise I liked the feeling of that mecha platoon. Will watch at least a few episodes |

Just finished up 1, I liked it. Two armies fighting over resources, walking tank style mecha, good action. I enjoyed it, good debut episode. I'll tune in next week for more. The Argevollen mecha is nicely designed, shame it had no weapons, but I guess karate chops do well enough.

Ouch, that was hard to see. Using the weakest robot parts - delicate and extremely fragile arms and legs - to directly hit the body or head of enemy mecha... Main hero must really want to trash his new toy.
I wonder if they have Air Forces in that setting... A wing of tank hunter helicopters would've decimated those troops. |

Mecha everywhere.
Well, it is a state of war after all. Halfway through, but not seeing anything that would peak my interest. Still seems just like an average mecha anime. Ah, so they kept the best for last. Not surprised by their surprise that much. Even though that Argevollen is pretty awesome in a fight. Think I'm gonna skip this one.

Well... Umm... Not terrible, but not much to recommend it for me, either. (shrugs)
Mecha is a tough genre for me, though, so maybe no surprise there. Will check out ep 2, prolly.

I was surprised, our MC who has actual military training actually has worst debut than normal regular HS student. My wish for a L-elf like start out MC won't be granted it seem... I'll give it some couple more episodes.
