I’m surprised with how much I ended up liking this series. Going into it, it seemed very similar to Sky Girls which I wasn’t a giant fan of mainly because it took them forever to do nothing. Still, I gave this a shot and found it to be much more interesting then I thought. It wasn’t just destroying this weird enemy, there was some plot behind it all dealing with higher ups hiding things, corruption, and things not being what they should be. Plus…….the pantsu…

The characters in this series were definitely the strong suit. Not only did they have a lot of very different and fun characters, but they actually had interesting back-stories that they then explored. They didn’t just randomly throw together these characters; they took time to give them faults, histories, and personalities which I always found fun to watch.

This series reminded me a lot of Sky Girls. It seems to have the same premise, young girls in scantily clad fighting apparel using unique devices to combat aliens that are threatening to destroy the world. However, it’s not exactly the same. There are some rather interesting differences but I can’t really tell right now whether that will be enough to prevent this show from making the same mistakes that Sky Girls did. It’ll be interesting to see.

I do have to say that I found this episode and I believe it will continue though the rest of the series, absolutely hilarious when it wasn’t supposed to be. I thought the whole thing about it being a standard for girls to not wear any pants and just be in their underwear for their bottom half was ridiculous yet at the same time very entertaining. I found myself chuckling throughout the entire episode at this idea. I can understand maybe why it’s like that because for some reason they grow tails when using magic, but I’d think some kind of clothing would be developed that accommodated for that. Not that I’m complaining, just that it’s very odd yet very fun to watch.
