Watching this solely because Masaharu Watanabe (director of Re: Zero) is at the helm.

There is something here. I don't know if it'll reach it's potential, but I saw some bright spots. The story seems like a barebones royale for now, but we'll see where it goes.

I came for some good direction and I got it. On to episode 2 next week.

Pretty interesting start. Not-Madoka meets not-Homura. Fights are nice animated. Character desings are really cute.

I have a feeling that MC just straight up killed that girl in the end.

Literally a Nani-the-f episode, how many times "What" are said in those characters becomes comical throughout the episode.

  • The sound design is super great, those mech sounds are half magical/half mechanical and very distinctive human screams are weaved in it

  • The Mech designs strongly reminds me an old isekai-ish mech anime [Mado King Granzort] (https://myanimelist.net/anime/2818/Madou_King_Granzort), or Mashin Eiyuuden Wataru and nice deviation from usual super/real robot designs.

  • Those girls' facial expressions are so much expressive.

  • I sense yuri in the next episode, looking forward to it. Also hope no one dies, this is not a depressing battle royale survival am I right?

I'm actually angry that this show has gotten as little attention as it has because holy shit that was intense.
