This is a definite watch for me – at least the first episode. I can tell it’s going to be good because…well, I just know (hope I’m not wrong!) Firstly, it’s got very good character design, second, pretty good quality which means decent-high budget, and third, it’s mecha! Hooray! Seriously, the last good mecha I saw was Gundam Seed. I mean, come on! Not all mecha has to be Gundam right? I had high hopes with Zegapain…but they were just hopes. Same with Innocent Venus – and it wasn’t even mecha at all (well, it was a little bit…) So now, all hope resides in this, and so it shall dare not disappoint…muahaha!

Btw, take a look at the entry I did on the trailer here.

For some reason, I just know this will be one of my favourites this season. And that is not because of how everyone else is highly anticipating this. I never listen to what anyone says (sorry ^_^”) and by that I mean no matter how much a show is belittled, I will try it, and no matter how much a show is praised, I will still try it – all the same. BUT, this is different. One reason is KyoAni is doing it! But I’m not sure of the other reasons…Doesn’t matter though, as I guarantee myself that this show is going to just blow me away.

And also, the entry I did on the prelude is here.
