I don't see that happening, the scene was not censored in a "removable" way, like with white mist or black bars, it was just set up in a way that 02's nipples and other naughty bits wouldn't happen to be on display. They would need to redraw it entirely for that, and it doesn't make much sense. If you want the nipples, go read the manga

So Blu-ray version only I assume?

No, I'm saying there probably will be NO "uncensored" version at all. Because this wasn't censored at all. The scene was simply shot in a way that nipples were not visible.

they really aren't subtle with the sexual innuendo. lollipops and bananas and that piloting position

Kazu-kun · 2018-01-18, 16:59

It's just fanservice.

Twi · 2018-01-18, 20:35

002 sticks out like a sore thumb compared to the others, but it makes her more endearing.

Arya · 2018-01-19, 06:06

Ok, I agree with anyone about being incredibly generic, but dont' know if it's because these days it seems I can't find mecha's anymore or because they did a very good job with direction (especially the mood) and world building, but I found it quite enjoyable. Not intriguing because of course every-single-scene was telegraphed by miles away

What helps is that the MC is not annoying nor wimpy, so it's a big plus. And 002 is also well balanced, not a (modern) tsundere nor a fish out of water (PAW mecha's attempt comes to my mind). That's surely the biggest selling point for me.
What I'm a bit skeptical is the ecchi tones but I think I can tune my self to it. In the end Cross Ange was far more bold being still highly entertaining and funny.
In that regard the holding panties didn't make roll my eyes too much because, I mean, just few second prior that scientist grabbed Misato('s role) ass

. Still if I had to say, the writers justification seemed to be that Hiro was so absorbed by 002 aura to forget about her panties. Only when called out he remembered about them.

So well, since the main characters are above average let's hope the plot to be equally good, so, first thing first, no monster of the week plz (hello E7 AO)!!!

Twi · 2018-01-19, 08:46

Monsters of the week were the least of AO's problems.

Vaans · 2018-01-19, 08:56

Good first episode. I like it. The Robot really looks like the mecha from Star Driver with eyes and mouth. I wonder if 002 is really a partner killer they're talking about. Yeah, I saw her partner wounded, but it doesn't really explain it.

Anyway, the cliche and generic stuff doesn't really bother me unlike other people. Its just the first episode. So who knows what the future will be.

But it does show that for some reason 002 requires a lot of sugar and eats what may be raw meat.

Also, that female pilot uniform and positioning looks like the female pilot is becoming part of the mecha and not just a co-pilot.

well, yeah, I agree, but that was where it all begun (surely you can make a decent show even with a MoW structure, or more widely with an episodic structure but for me it's not a good sign anyway).

ScrewySquirrel · 2018-01-19, 10:41

given that its a Trigger show, I expect
a) shoutouts to previous anime galore every episode
b) a complete shift in focus around ep 12

DevilHighDxD · 2018-01-19, 16:09

Had anyone looked up for infos about Strelizia? It a type of flower and I was quite surprised on the symbolism behind it.

Atelier Emily did an article about the flower symbolism

Stark700 · 2018-01-20, 12:33

Episode 2 is out

At this point, I think it's obvious that Zero 2 is the only character compatible for Hiro as part of this Frankxx project.

Seems we got two rivalries already....Zero 2/Ichigo and Hiro/Zorome. Also, I think Ichigo has an obvious crush or something on Hiro. Hope to see some background story about her. Zero 2's personality is pretty amusing to watch. The way she teases Hiro and others makes her stand out even more in this show.

The action felt pretty toned down this week considering it's a mock battle. Also, I think Zorome is going to have trouble finding a partner if he's going to act like a brat.

DragoonKain3 · 2018-01-20, 12:39

In this episode of 'My not-so-little-mecha can't be this cute'...

Huh, so Hiro is basically reverse Shinji. If Shinji won't pilot the robot even if his life depended on it, Hiro is the one who will pilot the robot even if it kills him.

Which means 02 is Asuka? Sorry Rei (Ichigo) fans, looks like Asuka wins this time.

Seriously speaking though, lots of NGE similarities. From synchronizing, to the 'council', heck even when Hiro was frantically clicking his controls in his vain attempt to move his disabled unit reminds me of a certain scene in that classic series.

One interesting tidbit is that it seems 02's makes her partners grow up faster. Which is evident that everyone looks like a teen, except for her partner who was pretty much an adult before he got offed. If there is a timeskip, it would be interesting to see Hiro to be much older than the rest of the cast, and they could tie some of the drama in there.

Disappointed with the OP/ED though, but it might jsut be me because both doesn't feel like a mecha song. XD

G0rd0 · 2018-01-20, 13:17

so how many pushover Mc do we have this season

ValvraveTruth · 2018-01-20, 13:25

Ichigo jealousy to the max. Zero Two simply just chill, she knows Ichigo can't win over Hiro. Sum it up Zero Two forever main wife upperhand

As for Hiro? Sigh, he is sexually attracted to Zero Two thats why he become ED with other girls.

Mad Pierrot · 2018-01-20, 13:30

It's close to Kill la Kill but I don't think Darling has more fanservice.

AB079 · 2018-01-20, 13:35

Ichigo Status: 100% friendzoned and destroyed.

Zero Two is the only one that can make Hiro feel like he can fly again, she knows that pretty well and also knows that Ichigo has no chance at all despite her efforts.
