The only good thing about Kiznaiver was the fun OP.

The only good/entertaining template for a MC in a robot show is Mikazuki, or that one cool dude in Gundam thunderbolt who listen to Jazz while murdering everyone.


02 is quirky and all but she can't carry the series alone.

at the very least the protagonist is definitely gonna end up in the butthandles with zero-two metaphorically (and literally) pegging him, even if they never do a female female or male male pair, or have the characters break down the mechs into new methods of piloting, or anything.




Not saying it isn't possible, but i will be really surprised if in a medium so resistant to changes the show runners pulled off a literal submissive male protagonist, in a genre defined by the male power fantasy. Yeah, the text the show gave us so far implies that he can only "function" with the alpha 02, but to say he will be the handles is a bit much i think. Not because it doesn't make sense, but because it would be far too much of a departure from the traditional.

It's weird but so far everything interesting in the robot show has nothing to do with the actual robots.

"Hit by truck" is a common shounen anime trope, often the only thing that can truly kill someone on manga/anime.

The only thing worse than a Hiro/02 pairing is a Hiro/Ichigo one. That aside, for all the hate ichigo got, shes a much more interesting character than 02.

Following/joining a fandom is the fastest way to fall out of love with the things you like
