The first episode certainly got me interested. Everyone, including the guys, seems to be wearing too much mascara, which is... not bad exactly (or, at least, not a significant problem), just odd. The mech designs are cool, though I hope they don't let the premise of the show get in the way of well-lit fights too much. We watch mecha for the spectacle, after all.

Gyra_Solune posted:It does seem to me that...lighting is a very serious problem in shows with CG nowadays. It happened with Majestic Prince, Symphogear, Valvrave, Buddy Complex, and a few more I can't remember. Occasionally things just get much dimmer than they ought to be and it's somewhat jarring. I was thinking more of the fact that they appear to be fighting against a hell-dimension of eternal darkness. Which, regrettably and predictably, appears to make for very dark fights.

Guess we just met our MC mecha, then. Totally getting flashbacks to Heero and the Wing Zero here.

Srice posted:Anime as heck goofiness too. Honestly, I can see a few other ways that might have gone. Surprise or anger, for a start, depending on how long he took to die. Crippling holyshit existential terror would stand out as notable for a trained soldier who's (presumably) used to the weird stuff that comes out of the Darkness.

Serious Frolicking posted:Was he even a soldier? He seemed more like a glorified gym teacher than anything else. Well, they were charging him with combat instruction, so I'd assume he's as much a soldier as whatever they're trying to turn the kids into.

Autonomous Monster posted:So. This show started out pretty loving stupid. And it's still pretty loving stupid. And it's probably the ugliest show airing this season. But somehow. After the third episode. I think. I am... enjoying... it? There does seem to be a method to his madness, even if he's way too enthusiastic - the idea with the Argent seems to be that you're supposed to accept it and let it into your head without being overwhelmed by it - serial-killer guy had a problem with the second bit, and our protagonist isn't doing well enough at the first. I did like how the entire cast went 'Yeah, bullshit' when they were given their latest unconvincing cover-story about what they're supposed to be doing, though.

Yeah, she's throwing up death-flags like there's no tomorrow, but she's honestly my favourite member of the cast. She just has so much more personality than everyone else.

The plot's taken a pretty goddamned cruel turn, though. First Emiru gets infected by the Lightless Realm, then it turns out she's got a special mindlink with Heito the gibbering psychopath, then Heito finds out about her infection and decides she'll be his personal emotional torture-doll, isolating her from the rest of the team until she turns into an Admonition and dies from her injuries. Then she comes back... as Heito's shiny new mindlinked mecha. Christ.
