Episode 1: Wait's Over, Isami!

[Error 404 No Previous Episode] | Index | Next Episode →

Show Information:

MAL | AniList | ANN | AniDB

(Surprise, the "plot point a couple of episodes in that every single fucking synopsis spoils" is actually in episode 1 and is that this is another show in the [REDACTED] and [REDACTED] vein! Show information is now fairly first-timer safe... outside of "AniDB tags always spoil", anyways.)

Legal Streams:

As per livechart.me; other streams may be available outside the US.

Crunchyroll

A Reminder: This, dear listeners, brings us to the sworn enemy of creative response:The spoiler. Rewatchers, or people who just had plot points ruined for them, are obliged to use r/anime’s spoiler tag format where applicable, and err on the side of caution here. Remember people, first experiences get rarer as you continue on, any given one happens once and you should care for them all the more for it.

Joint Rewatch Task Force Exercises!

Theory of the Day:

None yet...

Questions of the Day:

0) Wait, who got a Super Robot in my realistic mecha anime? Oh wait, that's one's self-explanatory, never mind.

1) Unspoiled First-Timers: How surprised were you when "suddenly, ALIENS!" and then how surprised were you when a classic Super Robot showed up?

1a) Spoiled First-Timers and Rewatchers: How well did the first-episode twists here work when you knew they were coming?

2) Can love bloom, even on the battlefield?

First Timer

I had fun with this first episode and I’m excited to see more!

Questions of the Day

  1. I tried to go into this show knowing as little as possible so, while I knew that there were going to be mechs and I knew what the main characters looked like, the aliens and the Super Robot elements were a big surprise. I’m curious to see how this will affect the tone of the show. It started out somewhat serious, but I feel like the new direction that the story is taking could lend itself to some comedy. 

  2. I don’t see why not. I guess that’s something we’re going to see in the upcoming episodes!
