I have watched episode one and cannot believe how this show has captured my breath even with all the similarities to some anime of the past, combining everything from cute talking animal advisor to mahou-shoujo esque henshin sequence. The show reeks of Strike Witches, and feels a bit like Nanoha meets Star Driver in an epic showdown of Godannar-style storytelling. So far I been very interested, and I am sure to be watching this to the end thanks to the direction of the art, which happens to include Redjuice himself (of Guilty Crown fame) on board.
APPRIVOISE....!! errr... I mean, Henshin!
Hold on guys, let me put on my PIMP gloves.
Crisp, agile, and wonderful, it is not a mahou shoujo of typical frilly type, but it has all the wonders it has to offer. Giant monsters aside, I sure hope someone else is talking about this.
