I get an impression that tracking guy is already in relationship with tsundere-girl. At least they are shown living under one roof with rooms next to each other for some undisclosed reason, and she clearly has feelings for him. I don't have an urge for weddings hehe, I just want Fukami to succeed and to have some kind ensurance that nodoby dies/becomes heartbroken in a process, because it's common things for Japanese romance stories haha.

With anime being overriden with pro-active and agressively-defensive kind of protagonists, it's nice to see a calm and composed one who isn't jumping at the gun at any given moment for once. I liked that scene especially because I would do the exact same thing. If the rocket is coming in your sight right from nowhere, the chance of outrunning it is pretty low, and if you watch it flying in the sky for more than 30 seconds in the sky, it's kinda safe to presume it's not directly aimed at you, or you are already dead and dreaming. So you better don't bother moving your body an inch and enjoy the view of the upcoming explosion either way.

Yeah, I don't mind mech being OP either, the problem is that there are 39 battle stations on Earth's orbit which can be ordered to land at 39 different geographical locations, how do you beat that ?) Maybe they all have some control center hub at Mars, but the writer basically tells us: "hey guys while MC is busy saving Japan all other countries are suffering heavy casualties all over the world", keep that in mind.

I guess Martians are afraid the Terrans are going to take that powerful artifact away from them, that's why they need regular military at their disposal, but 39 CASTLES on a Earth's orbit that some scary paranoid shit, if you ask me. Maybe there would be a 2nd season, but so far we have 12-13 episodes, with two of them wasted for hero's introduction already and I don't understand the point at all. Let's say the assault on princess was calculated provocation planned by Martians themselves. How plausible that people with godlike power in thier hands suddenly started to care about public image in eyes of those unworthy creatures they abuse and despise? Let's say it's extremists from Earth, which means that Vers Empire has no reliable sources of information about plans of their opponents on the planet they tighlly hold in a space grip, no Terrans supporting their agenda either. Any root you take, the end result is that Mars is run by imbeciles, too. Who constructed and continue to manage doomday's power level of army and, arguably, even blew up the Moon by a wish, ugh.

It may sound like nitpicking, and by no means is a final judgement, but if you are creating the show that screams GUNDAM, you bet your ass everyone is going to compare your show to GUNDAM and other prominent mecha series, which, by the way, take the easier road and don't drop the hammer by presenting controversal events and facts right from the start. You wanted my attention? You got it, now let's see whether you are able to climb up from the deep logical pit you put yourself into or it's spur-of-the-moment, inconsiderate trick to give your story a shocking epic look.

That response to the missile was just silly. Even if you can't outrun it or whatever, taking cover would still be the logical/instinctive course of action, assuming you're not frozen in shock. You know what I think of when I see a stoic character staring down a missile? Mahouka.

Martians afraid of Terrans? The show made it extremely clear that they didn't give a shit about Terrans lol. The only threat to the Martians are other Martians.

As for the whole assassination thing, it's used as an excuse to invade. And yes, they do need an excuse. Every nation in the existence of mankind has attempted to look justified when declaring war. The US needed an excuse for Iraq. Russia needed an excuse for Crimea. And so on.

Also, the show is 2 cour.

Yeah, mahouka protag works as a nice role model for me, too.

>Every nation in the existence of mankind has attempted to look justified when declaring war.
So, your version is that all 39 battle-stations are participating in a some kind of human hunt for glory, and are not taking this shit as a war, or a revenge for fallen pricess of any sort which makes them undoubtedly chaotic evil tier.

Interesting idea, wicked twist on Gundam's tropes indeed. Bandai would never do such a thing, they cater to Zeon fans [proud Neo-Zeon member speaking with you right here, huehue] more than to anyone and that's understandable - they have a huge ton of models to sell, and you aren't buying the plastic robot kit piloted by the guy you slightly don't like, it's basic rule.

Well I am in. I loved the first episode - I mean, for me even a possibility that this show would fail is something unimaginable. The director is the guy behind 2 of my most favourite anime in recent years (Ga-Rei Zero, Fate/Zero). Notice the 'Zero' in those names? Yeah, it's a trend... And Urobutchi doing the script, I am just too hyped for this show. Anyway, seems fine so far - I hope the princess has really died cause she was annoying, but I don't suppose I would be that lucky. The ending of the episode got me hooked and I do like MC so far - the reaction to that missile was nice.

I will keep watching SAO for the same reason I watched S1 - awesome fights, good music and of course making fun of how ridiculous/stupid it's gonna get. And I am not gonna lie, I actually do enjoy Kirito being god-tier all the time. On similar topic - I started watching Log Horizon, which is better in every way imaginable, besides sound and graphics :> Anyway, first episode didn't completely suck, which can be only explained by Kirito not being in the game yet.

Surprisingly good so far. Nice gore, MC could be a little bit less annoying. Animation is very good. But I am still not convinced I will actually watch it all, will need to see where the story goes in few episodes. I guess this could be my horror show of the season, although I still wait for something as good as Shiki was. And this will not be it, I am almost certain.

meh, dropped. Maybe I will watch it later though, depends on whether the romance will actually be good. It's just that I don't have enough patience to watch this type of show on the off-chance that few episodes in it will actually get good.

My first encounter with the series, will definitely watch even if it was just because it is such a classic. First episode was pretty good though, looking forward to the next one.
