Well, well, what to make of this anime. It sure is pretty, the animated is good and the CG is nice. Story/Plot seems interesting for now. The mechas look good, I especially like the jet designs, the aerial fights are also good. The characters design is good, ranging from "ok" to "great". I have 2 little problems though, I don't like the main character type. I don't like some of the transformation things.

The first transformation was good, teamwork, you see people putting effort into what they are doing. The second transformation was very disappointing, it's the "I'll become god and destroy the enemy like it is nothing and on my first try no less" thing. Oh let's not forget the trademark scream to start it all off. A 14 year old girl getting a sexual rise because of the transformation? -_-'' Maybe it will appeal to adolescent boys but I hate those kind of obvious fan service moments.

I'm not able to comment on the music, not yet anyway. The OP should be good.

Besides certain things that annoy me this is visually a very good show.
