I guess the moon people uprise because corruption from earth people?

Anyway, I'm not a fan of hidden identity trope, the sooner Jack and Phil realized, the better.

"THANK GOD YOU SURVIVED."

All characters: "Who is that?"

Yeah, fucking exactly writer of this shit-show. Who the fuck is that? Maybe if you're trying to get people to emotionally get invested in your characters, spend more than 10 mins introducing them to the viewer.

I swear this anime is written for people who just like pointless action with characters wearing cloaks for some reason (cause they did it in that "one" anime that became a hit). The action is so meh.. maybe because the tech visuals, the characters, everything, just feels so bland. You've seen this shit in thousand other sci-fi games or movies.

Anyway, let's infiltrate this underground city and talk loudly, bringing as much attention as possible to ourselves. I didn't even know they were going to some underground fucking city to meet with some contact (must've blanked that part out of boredom).

Can't wait for this anime to be rated 8/10 on this site, you KNOW it will be rated absurdly high cause of visuals alone.

That was a sudden cliffhanger ending, but loving the show so far.

Love the visuals, and the fight scene was pretty cool too.

MC will probably always get the end of the stick if he doesn't stop being an A. Seriously, he's a grown-up but can't even get serious enough. I'm disliking the MC at this rate.

P.S. This series is super weird. First thing they're traveling, the next thing they're in a bar. It removes the suspense they create, and they do it again without any explanation??!! This is annoying.

It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines
and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it,
is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service.

So, let me get this straight: the story thus far is that a group of socialite child supersoldiers (one of which is a cyborg and the "kid" of the moon rebel leader) are out to kill some moonrebels who, aside from their leader, have the approximate aptitude of stormtroopers?

The animation is good and it seems to be laying the groundwork for a potentially interesting story, but thus far I'm not that impressed.

@1List2RuleThemAl Luckily, your predictions about the rating didn't come true xD

The funniest thing is that in the previous episodes they completely skipped the meeting of MC with his friends after the attack (friends who were at least somewhere in the background for 5 minutes before) and now they give us a pseudo emotional scene with an NPC who we're seeing for the first time (I think) XDD

This show is such a mess. There is no flow to scenes and events happening in the story. It feels like scenes were just slapped together on a whim

The animation was nice, but I'm annoyed by almost everything else. Wish the anime would explain the tech they're using. Just a little. Come up with some BS science and help me understand what I'm watching because at times it feel like they can materialize shit out of thin air. It's confusing. At least AoT had some kind of explanation for how the ODM worked.

Also, yeah I agree with everyone regarding the writing. I'm looking at the episode count and it's 18 episodes so I feel they should have more than enough time to establish these characters and yet it's crazy how little time they've spent doing that so far. I can barely remember anyone's name. Maybe two characters? Even the protagonist feels under cooked. I'm thinking of AoT while watching this and how great they did establishing Eren's core group during the training days. It's only three episodes so maybe I'm being a little harsh, but I'm kind of frustrated watching this because it's a high production show with some glaring issues.

Writing still leaves a lot to be desired. Exposition dump after exposition dump. We don't need to know everything. We can infer a lot.

Destiny is clearly an inspiration. The massive fleet landing was 50s movie tier.

Character designs are poor... but the music has just been non-stop bangers.

Genuinely feel bad for the composer. They've been so fire.

Granted I was cooking while I had the episode on but I feel like I have no idea what is going on between episodes in this show and it feels waaaaay too intense for the amount of time they've had to build things up. A movie like Mad Max: Fury Road can handle being a nearly non-stop roller coaster ride because its a single two hour movie but an anime that tries to smash the accelerator the entire time every episode, especially right from the start, is a bit overwhelming.

That was so weird how they all just started murdering people like it was nothing especially Jack who was a civilian up until a couple of months ago. After that, these wannabe assassins just go to a bar in a hostile country and make a scene. In that same bar, there's an underground base for their allied army where they just chill for no reason. This show makes no sense. What genre is this?!
