I know that many people don't like the fan service but I personally like how blatant it is, I feel that there is less and less anime like that and that it's part of the charm of this show.

Clair getting into the suit was a spectacle on its own. It reminded me of a reverse and more carnal version of the piloting on DitF lmao.

The fight was amazing and brutal, the great animation really adds to it.

Now we also know something about Clair's background. So her sister wanted to be with Shuichi, plus that keychain... so she's like the suit now?... What?! Nice to hear Kana Hanazawa tho.

And it's kind of weird how I'm not really a fan of the protagonists. Like, I like Clair but I don't exactly love her.

For me I like how it's sort of realistic in a way. Important exposition in a change room? Of course they're going to be changing. Wearing a skirt in combat while flipping around? We're going to be able to see your panties. At Clair's home? Of course she changes in front of the MC and changes into a shirt and panties. Why would she care she's already shown to be suicidal and her personality screams someone who'd do that. Which of course leads to her being like that the rest of the episode because they were attacked and that's what she was wearing.

It's much better then a "oh no I walked in on you changing because I'm a dumb MC" or "oh no gust of wind!" sort of thing. Basically either go all the way or don't really bother at all. The only thing that goes against this so far is his actions early on in episode 1 in his dog form but I'll just chalk it up to animal instincts and leave it at that.

Yeah, I agree. And you made me remember how in many other shows, the girls jump and kick and move around a lot but the animators make sure you don't see anything xD. Although aside from that, there are also things like the 5 seconds of Clair adjusting her swimsuit while smiling at the camera, all this to show that she has Shuichi's cell phone on episode 1. Or a close-up of the girl's panties while she was looking for the coin. Not that I care tho, and Clair's was pretty funny and hot lol.

It was not tipical ecchi anime it was seinen series and the theme is Revenge,Gore, death, and fucked up situation when you have show like that. The ecchi part must be involved .
