More of that please, calling a group the Midsummer's Knights and blowing something up to give you enough velocity to punch something to death is the kind of fun I could do with more of.

I'm pretty consistently amused by how generally useless the Earth Engine is.

The only thing it seems to have going for it is being pretty damned durable compared to the Kiltgangs; it gets the poo poo beaten out of it regularly and keeps on ticking while the Kiltgangs tend to blow up the moment they take a solid hit of any sort.

Earth really is kind of screwed. Since shirtless Galactus seems to be out of the picture, all they have is one lovely robot and a bunch of lovely missiles. Teppei has a dick gun, but there is only one robot. The guy who is running the alternate plan is a patsy for the kiltgangs while remaining completely confident that he has it all under control for no particular reason. There don't seem to be any other ideas for how to deal with the upcoming extinction of humanity besides those two.

I'm relatively sure CEO dude is also planning on backstabbing Blue and Pink. He was so friendly it was suspicious. And he's had better practice at this kind of game than a bunch of alien kids.

I just assumed Puck was playing all of them anyway, since a sentient AI named after a fairy trickster is clearly a trustworthy source.

Pretty sure Puck says that he is subservient to absolutely everyone. Then again, the CEO heads Macbeth enterprises. Does that make the CEO Duncan, or the designer children Duncan?

I am pretty sure that should this show get into SRW, the Earth Engine would be a heavily defensive meatshield instead of an offensive powerhouse. Something like Daichi having a crazy level of Support Defense right out the box, and being able to do it from two squares away. That is, of course, presuming the thing doesn't get any added stuff in the future, which would be surprising from a 26-episode show centered on a fancy robot.

So, if I'm clear on this, the designer children are artifically created host bodies for Kiltgang intelligences residing somewhere around Jupiter in their big fancy ship that's out of juice. How the gently caress does Teppei self-identify as a human if his body is a shell for a Kiltgang?

He was raised in a locked camp by people who did things like attach shock collars to his head. They even make a big deal over the fact that once Daichi arrives and blows up the transmitter the base commander is like "Man I should have let you guys leave the building a long time ago".

Thus the 'for a given value'. Despite this, he still seemed to be under the assumption that he was human-but-weird right up until he manifested Albion. e honestly seemed pretty surprised about the whole 'actually Galactus' thing.

Teppei is just fighting for his friends. He doesn't have much else to tie him to humanity, really.

That was a decent episode, it's like the best ones focus on a completely new character and their story. Well, this new character isn't quite as interesting as Teppei's dad, but you can't win them all. So when it boils down to it, is this show really about saving the planet from disaffected youths who'd been exploited for some bizarre and nonsensical reason in the past?

Haven't read any side material, but Zin's beef is that he feels exploited by others, like what happened with his old friend, or that mob boss. As soon as he gets his own agency, he goes on a rampage.

If it weren't for the rad as gently caress robot design I'd probably drop the show because it's really bad at explaining itself and the characters are really loving stupid. "You know, I could win everything right now by flying around for a minute, but I'd rather laugh like an idiot and get myself blown up and my plans foiled". Also I love how they explicitly say "It's on the next pier over!" but have to go through a ridiculously convoluted sequence of converting a cargo container into a loving railgun to launch the Earth Engine a hundred yards to the side.

Arguably nothing is as fabulous as star driver (no, not even jojo) so its probably not that or every show would turn to ash in your mouth.

While the character being a cutesy Mary Sue is a bit annoying(This 17 year old girl can hack literally anything in the world in seconds with no effort from a laptop in the middle of nowhere!), I have to admit that the hardass "Well, okay, if you demand I blow up Earth's last defenses instead I'm literally going to wipe out all life on the planet with nuclear missiles simply to ruin your plans if you don't let me go" act, coupled with Malkin's "Holy gently caress she's not kidding" reaction was pretty goddamn awesome.

The strange thing about this show is that usually it's the good guys who recruit a new team member each episode while the bad guys try a new hare-brained scheme to stop them each time. At this rate I'm going to be disappointed if the last episode doesn't feature the kiltgangs all combining into a mega-kiltgang.

I'm not sure what I liked better about this episode, "She's not kidding" or Daichi releasing his inner Chirico. These kids are great.  I'm half-expecting the latter half of the show becoming a massive upgrade-fest to the Earth Engines where Globe throws any crazy idea on board just to keep up with the Planetary Gears. Ordinary is so woefully outclassed.

At least it looks like Teppei is getting his own (likely lovely) robot next episode. Also, if all of the designer children have hair color coded to their kiltgang identity, why don't they just start looking for people with unusual hair colors near a predicted activation? It wouldn't have worked for the idol since they never actually met her, but they found a redhead japanese guy and they could have at least asked if it was his natural color.

...you know I feel like SRW would switch around this arc and the previous one, because currently the show is veering into the bad guys recruiting members and trying to activate their death robots while the hero stops them in his little tiny armor mech, but the previous episodes were launching into space and making that robot super powered to fight those very death robots, while his best friend makes the 'AUUUGH I'M AN ALIEEEEN' reveal dramatically and brings out his own death robot.
