Character design by Redjuice! SOLD!!

Good animation and Ryo tier music, though everything else is pretty weak...
Hopefully the story would develop further or this would be another wasted potential.

There's a few things that make me remember Code Geass from this episode with some added flavor.
- King Power/Ability of The King/Kings Mark that Shu got
- destroying floor to disable mecha + fallen building
- civilian execution + mother and son drama
- keikaku doori + totally unexpected asspull

One of the few thing that I couldn't digest right now is how a remotely controlled mecha transfer the pain/damage it received to the pilot and the fact that the pilot could've died if the mecha is destroyed.
I can't help to think that the writer is just trying to be different for the sake of being different, and at the same time doesn't want to stray from usual core of mecha anime, the death of the pilot and the life they risked.
Also, the whole concept of 'drawing power from friendship' were utterly stomped when Shu uses his power on a stranger he barely meet whom he probably hate for the murder that is committed in front of his eyes.

I can't express how much I hope this could be better, but seeing how bad the writing and the direction is currently, I shouldn't expect that much.

The Void will return to the user afterwards if I'm not mistaken.
So far ep3 is the worst episode in terms of the screenplay, but can't help to fell in love with Shu's apartment, it was well designed! XD

GC is have the core element of battle/action anime where the mc actually wield a weapon and beat up his opponent directly as oppose to CG. But instead of using the typical mc of such genre they ended up with Shu.
Just like what I've said before, this show is trying to be different and at the same time didn't want to separate them self from the core element of such genre. Such element is what Noitamina aimed to be right now, to broaden their audience as wide as they can.

I bet you could write better than whoever is currently on the writer seat(s)!

Gai talk to Shu for a minute and slowly walk towards the nekogirl before the attack happens.


I'm treating this anime like a music video, just listen and watch, but never brain it.

Yup, it will happen, it will.

Please no.

This is is horribly done, I am extremely disappointed by it, pushing this any further would only lead to one way down of this trainwreck.
High production value but it felt short in the most critical point, writings and direction.

Just decided to go through this series after I've dropped it...
...this is just awful, kind of a waste to all those ost's.

You're the wrong one here, those show you listed are generally heavy and aimed at mature audience.

...what? Than all that left is just animation and audio,please don't tell me those were the reason why you watched an anime.

The only answer is no, or more precisely there is no correct answer for that question.
Just like every other form of entertainment, anime is highly subjective both in medium and the content itself.
Because of this subjective nature, each individuals hold their own opinions and thus, this 'reason' is pretty much different from each and every person.

I'm sorry, but what?

...I honestly enjoying every minute of this.

Again and again, you are wrong.
Right now I honestly believes that you do not know what the hell are talking and but you sure took the effort typing all those pointless babbling.

No shit sherlock! Maybe you aren't that bad after all.

Oh my, ad hominem? All I did is point out your baseless assumptions, of which is what it really was.
I don't think I need to attack you personally, you've already done a great job degrading yourself with each and every post you made.

I think I just got a taste of what you meant over there.

^ Oh my, thank you very much for, but I am not as highly as what that image makes me.

The latter, as of course.

Lost Xmass is a spinoff rather than a prequel/sequel or something, so I won't be worried much about since obviously they can and will came up with a much better story than what GCrown has.

I already stated my intention before, just trying to point out a wrong statement so that it won't be taken as a fact by others.
I didn't make any point or stating anything else aside from that, thats pretty much it.

^ Agreed.

This weeks episode is actually pretty decent the best of what GCrown has to offer so far, most probably due to lack of Shu and the actual effort they put into delivering the story. But then again it was pretty much ruined by the cringeworthy ending.

I...
...well, it was my own fault for expecting anything decent at the final episode.
Fullmetal Alchemist reference is a nice touch though.
