[Mecha anime] The story was good, the combat was good, the characters were good, but for some reason it didn’t become popular.

Buddy Complex

1: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx25

It seems like the mech design is one that isn’t popular in the Super Robot Wars original series.

29: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>1

The special move is the Twin Bird Strike.

2: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx14

It’s not that great until Bison really gets going, so it’s not all that commendable.

3: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx15

It ended perfectly, and it was a good work.

4: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx12

The boring template developments at the beginning and the overreaching terms for male pairings were a bit off-putting.

5: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>4

It’s definitely Mav!

15: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>4

The boys who mess up the coupling are too much of a model in the community; it’s just too targeted.

6: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

The elements other than the coupling, the collaboration with Bison-kun, and Gachapin and Mukku were rather dull.

It’s cohesive, but it hasn’t really managed to break free from being just an ordinary robot anime.

7: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx7

Resolving the loop development in one episode was brilliant.

8: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

I love the cool BGM when coupling.

9: Japan Otaku Reviews

Under the penalty point system, it’s 90 points, but under the merit point system, it’s around 50 points.

10: Japan Otaku Reviews

Aside from the outdated design reminiscent of the early 2000s and the silliness of the word “coupling,” everything else is good.

11: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

There was never a time when there were plenty of robot animes with CG and hand-drawn animation.

12: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

It gets overly praised in threads about robot anime from the 2010s, but…

Aside from the finale, it wasn’t that exciting.

13: Japan Otaku Reviews

I don’t think it’s at the level of VVVV, but I think the power of the song is extremely strong.

14: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

It’s interesting to understand why I time-slipped to that place when I watch it for the second week.

I personally like the idea of considering what happens if the enemy takes proper countermeasures and those fail.

16: Japan Otaku Reviews

I heard they were planning to decide the developments for the second cour based on the reception of the first cour.

17: Japan Otaku Reviews

I didn’t expect Hina-chan to be the first protagonist… that kind of reaction.

I’m glad I understood why I had such a strong attachment to Hina, even if it was unconscious.

Bison-kun, give up from the start.

18: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

The latter part definitely feels a bit rushed, but it’s nicely put together, isn’t it?

19: Japan Otaku Reviews

Ultimately, having your partner come back as a high school freshman is really erotic, isn’t it?

20: Japan Otaku Reviews

The second episode of the second cour is too rushed.

21: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s a robot design that doesn’t really stand out.

22: Japan Otaku Reviews

I like it. In Super Robot Wars, the combination attacks are strong too.

23: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Overall, it’s well done, but…

It was either that the hook was weak or that the location of the hook was strange.

24: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

The character depiction, including the supporting roles, is generally good, isn’t it?

The old man Kuramitsu, who is a brilliant captain despite being a daylight lantern, was really great.

25: Japan Otaku Reviews

At that time, I didn’t watch it thinking it was a homo anime, under the name of the title and the coupling system.

26: Japan Otaku Reviews

The cast is so extravagant that it’s like we’re only inviting leading roles…

27: Japan Otaku Reviews

It seems like the side characters have a well-developed background setting, doesn’t it?

28: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

The nice coupling and the coupler were a bit too strong on the laughs.

30: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

Even if I try to recall, I have no memory of the story…

31: Japan Otaku Reviews

I want a Modelroid soon.

If possible, I want it to reach Nex as well.

32: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

The battle BGM is super cool, but I always feel like this is the only one that plays.

36: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>32

All I can remember is the coupling BGM with the chorus coming in; I can’t recall the battle BGM at all…

33: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s the type of anime that is interesting if you watch it until the end, but many drop out before reaching the conclusion.

34: Japan Otaku Reviews

I want to watch it on the stream without any expectations and get excited.

35: Japan Otaku Reviews

Up until we go to Sunrise Island, it’s so much of a template that it’s practically a joke…

By treating guys like the ambassador and the special investigator as jokes, I held onto it.

37: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

The main mech was really lame.

When coupled, the shape of the face changes, but that’s also a bit plain, and the wings that grow are cheesy.

38: Japan Otaku Reviews

An anime that I like but find difficult to recommend to others.

39: Japan Otaku Reviews

I thought it would look cool with the late-stage model after the transfer.

It didn’t happen.

41: Japan Otaku Reviews

I remember the enemy robots looking cooler.

42: Japan Otaku Reviews

It seems like a design that would be easy to draw since it’s animator-driven, though…

43: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I love the final episode of TV shows.

The part where the loop is broken is particularly good.

44: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

The content is interesting.

It’s not that the character design or mechanical design is bad, but it feels like it won’t deeply resonate with any particular demographic…

45: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

The mechanical design is so outdated that it could even date back to the 90s…

46: Japan Otaku Reviews

One bad thing is that the supporting characters are so one-dimensional that I can’t even remember their names.

It’s nice that Aoba, Hina, Dio, and Bison have well-developed characters.

47: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Connective Hin-aa-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah.

48: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

The feeling of wanting to properly see everything and the fact that it was decided to be canceled.

I feel that there is a good tempo in picking out only the important parts.

49: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

Despite all the enemy machines and knees having the same impression, they strangely change only the colors, so in the end, they all look the same.

52: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>49

I thought it was such a waste since the animation wasn’t bad at all.

50: Japan Otaku Reviews

The impression since Bison went on a rampage is too strong.

51: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s not bad at all, but somehow it lacks glamour.

53: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

I thought it was a good work, but I definitely think the coupling aspect was awkward.

I thought it might be an anime targeted at that kind of demographic.

54: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I thought it was a combination robot until I saw it…

55: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

It’s an obvious statement, but…

The design of robots in robot anime is important…

56: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

>>55

In a way, you probably don’t want to watch a romantic comedy filled with girls who don’t look good.

57: Japan Otaku Reviews

Doesn’t it feel like the situation has changed too much, almost like it’s too close to the near future?

73: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

>>57

Bison, who built Zogiria in just one generation, is incredible.

What a tenacity!

58: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

If it ends beautifully, there will be nothing left to talk about, as it will just be over.

59: Japan Otaku Reviews

I want at least some amazing weapons for the main characters other than the coupling system, it feels plain.

60: Japan Otaku Reviews

When it’s all over, it’s actually a really good work and it was quite popular on Nico Nico during its airing.

61: Japan Otaku Reviews

The protagonist, partner, and heroine are all too cohesive, lacking flavor and impact.

I want about two more people like Bison-kun in the class.

62: Japan Otaku Reviews

Creating the next Super Robot Wars anime, which hasn’t moved for 30 minutes compared to what could be referenced from a full season, was unreasonable.

63: Japan Otaku Reviews

The ships and mechs are just too beautiful.

64: Japan Otaku Reviews

The theme song is good.

The conversation isn’t bad either.

So is it a problem with the production…?

65: Japan Otaku Reviews

I like it, but when I’m told it’s plain, I can’t deny it.

66: Japan Otaku Reviews

Who designed Luxion and such?

68: Japan Otaku Reviews

After all, not releasing mechanical products at the time of the broadcast was a mistake.

69: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

To be honest, it’s a work that becomes enjoyable from the second time around after realizing it’s looping once you’ve seen the finale.

70: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

The first appearance of Super Robot Wars in a fantasy world, with Wataru and others as the central figures, had a strong feeling of incongruity in Super Robot Wars X.

100: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>70

I hope they can somehow rejoin the fight…

If you try to incorporate it properly, there’s the question of what to do about Aoba’s time slip scenario.

71: Japan Otaku Reviews

Although the main theme is being thought out beautifully, the effort to land it safely is making the discussion about the process weaker.

72: Japan Otaku Reviews

I think they were very cautious right after Valvrave became a big topic of discussion.

74: Japan Otaku Reviews

I couldn’t really get on board with the part where the heroine turns against her own people after learning about her origins.

87: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>74

Since I was originally fighting against Zogilia, I don’t need to feel indebted to the country, regardless of personal relationships…

93: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>74

Even if the foster parents and companions are not bad people, I think there are still enough reasons to betray them.

75: Japan Otaku Reviews

At first glance, it seems to follow the usual sunrise robot anime tropes…

76: Japan Otaku Reviews

Robot anime from this period is

VvV, Gargantia, Majepuri, and then a little later, thread images.

It was one of those works that stays in your memory.

77: Japan Otaku Reviews

Bison Bullying Anime

78: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s not that this story is good, but rather that it’s simple and organized, making it easy to understand.

But because of that, we can’t expand the conversation, so it just ends with “it’s good, right?”…

85: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>78

Isn’t being easy to understand one of the good things?

A thin story becomes another factor, but…

79: Japan Otaku Reviews

I remember that the mass-produced mech, which looks like a gym custom ridden by someone like Moo, sometimes becomes CG, and that was the coolest one.

80: Japan Otaku Reviews

I will not forget the achievement of creating the idol of the transfer board…

81: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s good that the enemy isn’t foolish.

I’ll come up with a proper plan.

82: Japan Otaku Reviews

I was really curious about Hina’s first round story, so it’s a shame that part was skipped.

It was neatly put together, but…

83: Japan Otaku Reviews

This is the strange commercial that goes “Salt for fried eggs! Soy sauce!” right?

84: Japan Otaku Reviews

When I think about a story that follows the common tropes of robot anime, it feels like something like Bravern.

86: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>84

Well, that’s also a story about interfering from the future to the past and creating a loop, after all.

89: Japan Otaku Reviews

I wouldn’t say the quality of the robot anime part is low, but it does feel too much like a looped sci-fi theme…

91: Japan Otaku Reviews

Those who say it’s simple are just clueless.

It’s a genuinely elaborate story as a science fiction.

92: Japan Otaku Reviews

The aircraft is a bit unfashionable, or rather feels somewhat outdated.

There are indeed transfers, but that doesn’t mean it’s good.

The story and the characters themselves aren’t bad, but… is it really the mechas?

94: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

But I have no particular complaints about this work.

95: Japan Otaku Reviews

I don’t understand the reason for the negative campaign against this anime right now, but if you want to criticize it, at least say something more accurate.

From-kun, who made a grand entrance, is just so out of place…

97: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

>>95

It’s not that I want to hit it, but it says in the thread that it didn’t become very popular…

Well, it leads to the question of why it didn’t become popular, doesn’t it?

96: Japan Otaku Reviews

Bison is one thing, but Yevgeny is too dangerous, so it was definitely the right choice to betray him.

98: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s an anime where nothing really stands out and the flavor feels bland, including the design.

99: Japan Otaku Reviews

An example of how much less stressful it is to watch when the enemy isn’t an idiot.
