Gigantic Formula: Episode 2
Rating: 9.3/10
Impressions:
I hope people don’t dislike the character designs too much. As weird as this may seem, I have grown to actually like the designs now. I also hope the few blogs that seem to be blogging this show don’t drop it now; it would be such a shame. I for one love this show (for the time being). I guess I could attribute this fondness to its resemblance to the beginning of Evangelion, where Shinji refuses to pilot his Eva, before finally working up the courage to do so. However, Shingo here (the male lead), is not a coward like Shinji, but then it makes it somewhat unrealistic (a kid is not scared of fighting in a real gigantic thing which could get him killed at any moment?)
The animation is pretty stead so far, and I always like the two-episode settle-in period at the start of each anime. The first episode has a nice cliff-hanger to keep viewers watching, while the second episode will come up with a nice resolution to the first problem, but come up with new questions. Also by this time, it should be apparent whether the show will turn out good or not (maybe one more episode to be sure). The only thing that could become this series’ demise would be a major quality drop (which I hope I am not seeing in Kissdum: Engage Planet, after episode 2). Hopefully this won’t happen.

I think the designs are bad but not untolerabley so. This show’s intresting enough for me to keep watching it, it’s pretty much G Gundam (Story Line Wise) with better graphics and so far less drama heh. However, unrealistic boy who learns to pwn in his robot is MUCH MUCH more prefered to another frikken Shinji. Atleast that’s what I think. He probley doesn’t register the fact that he can get more then just K.O’d because it’s just like the game he plays.
