-Not liking unnecessary fanservice
There are a TON of anime with stupid ass fanservice galore, stop nitpicking over a petty 5 frames in this one (all of which was in context no less).

That wasn't as good as i was hoping it would be, but there is still a lot of potential in this show. And I really hate those God damn character designs...

I found the cast pretty damn insufferable to start for various reasons. The episode was alright though whenever nobody was talking and they just focused on mecha combat but still not a good sign.

Also DuelGundam I am a mecha fan and currently puzzling over how that was supposed to be anything like Gundam or how it entered the discussion on this thread as a comparison. I guess it really only can be because there are a lot of non mecha fans watching this and that is there only frame of reference but I can safely say this did not give me any gundam vibes aside from having the same designer as the Seed franchise.

Don't like chara designs, but mecha designs are cool. They better not gattai though (like having 5 different units is like shouting out... COMBINE ME!), since this isn't a super robot show. Didn't have high expectation of the show, and I'm glad I didn't because this didn't wow me at all.

Well for one thing, the pacing and execution were a bit off. Some of the scenes seemed forced when they shoudn't be and things seemed like they were happening all at the same time. While the episode itself wasn't exactly fast-paced, it did suffer from some much needed exposition e.g. what the heck are those various groups with their acronyms fighting the aliens? What's that place where the "misfits" hail from? Are they taking their new assignment just a tad nonchalantly without questioning the logic behind it, esp. when they KNOW they're the bottom of the pack?

While I'm sure these will be answered (probably) in future episodes, it'd be awful hard to make a good impression with a lackluster first episode such as this.

I kind of wish it was. And that they combined. But if we can have a real robot show with super robot ideals, I'm okay with that too.

That's just what you think. On the other hand, the director himself confirms that Majestic Prince isn't any specific "type" of mecha show and is intentionally a mix, especially in the designs. The main robots -are- intentionally designed to be super robots, while the other GDF mechs are designed to be more like real robots to show the more militaristic side of the army and the larger gap between conventional weaponry and the main mechs. The enemy mechs are all designed to look like organic beasts to enhance the alien feel of the threat.

Its a little of that but mostly that l the characterization we got for the cast in the first ep was them being more or less moronic about things and lame ecchi style gags that added neither intrigue nor comedic value to their interactions. Its a terrible first impression to make even if they get less annoying later on.

I actually enjoyed the comedy.

I'll probably keep watching if this series continues to be funny.

From the aliens' design and style I don't really think this show is to be taken with the same level of seriousness you'd do with other mecha shows.

I wouldn't be surprised if everything happens in the series for a reason so stupid I'd exhaust myself laughing non-stop.

I've always disliked Hirai's character designs, they always look like something out of microsoft paint.

Seeing the similarities of the character designs from Gundam Seed.. the funny faces seem to be "forced" for me...

I think this is going to be a 24 episode series unless I am thinking of Valvrave.

I was entertained but I am toning down my expectations a bit. In it for the music and some decent space combat. i don't expect to get much more out of this series.

Entertaining and I enjoy the space combat. However, I'm not sure about everything else as it's fairly typical.
