I mean, keep in mind the women in Black Lagoon. And if we're lucky, maybe the boy will turn into Rock.

Re Creators trivia:
-Rui’s Gigas Machina was originally made to be as tall as Celestia’s Vogelschevalier (17 m). The director suggested making the Gigas bigger (55 m) in order to emphasize the difference. (The Gigas is a little shorter than the Leaning Tower of Pisa, at 56.4m.)
-Hiroe says Rui is a mixture of several characters from mecha shows, including Ikari Shinji.
-When discussing Celesia’s character, who had some moments of comedy relief, Hiroe said he wasn’t expecting her to do so when he started writing the series. In a sense, he said the character became “three dimensional”.
-Hiroe purposely wrote the government and the female officer as competent because he felt it was frustrating to have people in power doing idiotic things.

Man, I really hate the milquetoast protagonist of this show, so it's probably for the best that he's got fewer lines than most side characters so far. Why on earth is he keeping MUP's identity a secret again?

Too bad we'll never find out why she has shark teeth..

Are they going to get half the current cast killed to make room, or will this just make the show even more consumed by an idiot katamari of convenience and misunderstandings?

Episode 11 is the standout, in which they try to tell the dramatic climax of a not-especially-coherent story and make us feel for a bunch of flat, uncharismatic characters despite literally not animating half of it. Like, every ten seconds they'll cut to a shot of a drab brick wall. It's the sort of clusterfuck that's difficult to forget.

EDIT: OK, let's go into a little more detail. In Episode 11, Cecil, the rookie wizard barrister who's our protagonist, is not having a good day. Her slimy, double-dealing boyfriend has betrayed her, and handed her over to the main villain. It turns out that her incredible, super-special magic powers are because she's the key to the gate of hell, so he's going to sacrifice her to summon Satan. So the episode opens with her about to have horrible things happen to her while her friends mount an all-out assault on the villain's headquarters. Slimy boyfriend decides he isn't OK with her getting murdered after all, and gets shot for his trouble. It's unclear how bad we are supposed to feel about this. Despite the best efforts of the secondary cast, the ritual goes ahead, but - quelle surprise - it doesn't work, because Satan has already been summoned. Turns out that she is the enthusiastically gay veteran barrister in Cecil's firm who keeps trying to feel her up, and was just chilling on Earth minding her own business (and groping teenage lawyers, because you've got to have a hobby). She frees Cecil, kisses her, and wanders off. Cecil summons her giant robot (yes, a wizard lawyer has a giant robot, yes, it is a regular fixture of the series) and duels the villain in a spectacular mecha battle above Tokyo, because he also has a giant robot. She defeats him, he surrenders, and - gasp! - he requests her as his defence lawyer in his upcoming trial. Cue the postscript episode.

Picture all of that in your mind. Now picture it when every other animation cut is a lengthy shot of a wall, the night sky, or a metal fence on the roof of a building. It's quite something.

But then how would it run for 24 episodes?

I know. It's amazing, in a sense.

I caught up on this show because I hate myself. The last six episodes felt like they provided about three episodes of content, which is at least a better ratio than the first seven or eight.

I feel like there's a really good 12 episode series buried somewhere inside these 22 episodes; I guess that's why I came back.

I have never seen a show that has treated their audience as if they were sacks of completely dumbass motherfuckers quite like this ever before. Like they don't need to spend FIVE episodes in a row describing the PREMISE to us again. Like, not even the plot, just the introductory PREMISE of what they are doing. Oh, but this time with hot springs tits. We get it, we got it in the first 5 minutes, move on, please.

From the moment her character concept was explained I just knew this was gonna end up with a Shaman King type ending.
