| I wasn't really planning to pick this one up after I've seen the PV. But now I've seen some talk about it so I thought I'd give it a try. The fact that Triad subbed it also had an impact on that decision. Anyway, respect for drawing 15 main characters lol. I like the art and the concept is really interesting. Let's see how this continues. |

| Weird, but omoshiroi. Those are my words to describe episode 1. ^_^ |

| yeah I also wasn't going to pick it. but after seeing the thread at AnimeSuki I decided to give it a go. Original Work: Mohiro Kitoh (Narutaru) Director: Morita Hiroyuki (The Cat Returns, Gunsmith Cats, Kiki's Delivery Service) Character Designs: Konishi Kenichi (Millenium Actress, Howl's Moving Castle, Princess Mononoke) Mechanical Advisor: Suzuki Tsutomu (Zone of the Enders, FLCL, Naruto movies) Music: Nomi Yuuji (The Cat Returns, Whisper of the Heart, Hi no Tori) Animation Production: GONZO (Saikano, Kaleido Star, Hellsing, Gankutsuou, Last Exile) I also liked the art although I wasn't very impressed with those mecha designs... also there seems to be a chibi Ishida (bleach) clone among the main characters. or was it just me ? ^^ anyway, rumor has it the manga is good so.. I'm gonna see how the show's gonna develop |

| I see ^^. Takami Komoda is voiced by Mamiko Noto as who also voiced Ai Enma in Jigoku Shoujo, was cool to hear a familiar voice :D. |

| That was interesting..... |
| I've read all the manga of it released thus far and I've got to say- I was really impressed by what Gonzo have done so far, it's really looking good, let's hope it carries on. |
| I am quite intrigued actually. I was worried I'd dislike it, but it seems like one of those start slow/build quickly kind of shows, so I'm willing to give it time to do it's thing. Random side note: did anyone else immediately think of Ender's Game while reading the summary of this show? |
 |
| I really liked the first episode. Nice direction and usage of music. But it looks like the next episodes will be QUALITY, since the art in the first episode already had QUALITY. |

| It looks alright for the time being but I really hope the battles will be longer than that and more complex (though I'm pretty sure they will be). But I do give them respect for drawing 15 characters uniquely. |
     |
| Pretty good first episode. The concept is intriguing and the designs are quite simple but still have their own unique flair. On the downside the CG wasn't particularly appealing to me but I do like the direction it looks like this is going to take, as well having such a large cast of primary characters. |
| I've been waiting to see this for awhile and have finally downloaded it, it seems promising. |

| Hmmmmmmmmmm, it seems pretty interesting to me too yeah. I didn't really like the fake way the robots looked indeed , but putting that aside the idea behind of it seems pretty cool. |

What a start and to think I started drinking while watching this.....feelings drunk but you know what? I agree with this=> I also think that this guy was never to be trusted and I think I am right in this=> |
 In spoiler my anime list for now. |
| The Opening was also the initial thing that got me into it. Still one of my alltime favorite anime openings :) |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| Just like the manga, it's great. Gonna watch the second ep. |
| I beat Boba_Fett to this one, in his face. Anyways, already I love the concept. Nothing like tons of group drama between 7th graders. Reminds me of Black Rock Shooter mixed with Kokoro Connect mixed with Sword Art Online. |
 |
| to tell the truth i was sorta hoping they would be hunted by the robot, but i bet there will be some dark peice appearing in the next episode |
"Stop whining, all I did was chop off your stupid legs." |
| The action was a bit dull for a mecha. However the plot looks interesting. |
 |
| Oh wow what a great start of this series and what an awesome concept! I really like it already and I'm not really a huge fan of mecha anime at all, but this concept seems to have a lot of potential so let's see what happens next! |
 |
| Liking this so far, but I wonder what the "I'm sorry" was about? Are they going to disappear one by one along with the enemy since there are 15 enemies and 15 players? |
"What has two arms, two legs, and is alive? Not your favorite character lol! xD" |
| This was a good introduction to the future episodes we will be watching. 15 battles in 24 episodes? I'm looking forward to this, going to try and binge it the next few days. |
| Alright first episode. I could live without the CG, but I doubt it will effect in anyway of me watching the show. I hope the mech battles aren't so slow throughout the show, but I just looked at it as a tutorial on how everything works. |
| Interesting start, those kids have no idea the mess they just got in. |
| No tomo malas decisiones, solo me gusta apoyar causas perdidas. Disfruté Mayoiga, Ou-sama Game, Evil or Live, Mirai Nikki, Big Order, Arifureta, Ex-Arm, Tesla Note, Shuumatsu no Harem y Platinum End nope les falle con esa, lo siento pero todos tenemos nuestros límites. Así de jodido es mi gusto en anime, ¡Y estoy pinche orgulloso de ello!  |
| I see many familiar elements that give me a vague idea of how this could potenially play out. First impressions: It low-key seemed like as if -Digimon(bunch of kids during summer camp/ summer school) -Gantz (people participating in a "game" that will turn out deadly; they may actually fight other humans/or aliens without hostile intenions) - Narutaru (art style is unmistakable and it gives me similar vibes; the mangaka likes it dark with his teens) were thrown into a blender. Add giant mecha piloted by child soldiers and slap on the psychological tag(Eva) for good measure. We had some at first glance basic characterisation in form of dialogue, interactions and lack of said two. There's the sociable ex soccer player, glasses-kun, the guy who looks like he was held back 3 times, energetic tomboy, the pervert and his insecure partner who's probably worse than him, the anti social guy, the edgy guy( with a flame shirt lol), you get the gist. Characters seem to be stereotypes based on design and how they gave themeselves, but there should be more than meets the eye. Let's see which ones will survive long enough to become 3 or 4 dimensional. I expect at least some sort of nuance or unique twist for everyone or this series subverts expectations altogher when it's time to explore the teenage characters in depth. It will take a few episodes before I can remember all these standard names on top of these generic faces, so I wouldn't mind some decimation xD Intriguing start overall. Not so striking faces aside, I like the aesthetic, the color palette and the omnious atmosphere. |

| Don’t trust a random person you find in a cave children. Anyways, Im liking the concept of the anime so far. |

| Yeah that's some kind of weird "game" I wonder who this old guy really is... but now seems like all these children will be mecha pilots now |
