Reviews (1)
There is an invasion by mecha and robotic drones from another planet, swords that look like lightsabers (because they are very stupidly illuminated), and a mysterious cube. Well, it seems like another weird mecha no-brainer starring a certain naive albeit quite a cute girl and a tough, or rather "wild" samurai to protect her. Even so, this duo is quite likable, as are some of the other characters, although some characters are downright annoying (like the YouTuber). Mecha is not my favorite anime genre, although I have to say that this show was quite watchable. Plus, they do not wear extremely tight tacky jumpsuits. I thought the conflict between the ancient samurai and the modern world was hilarious, and some of the observations this show's samurai makes were quite funny. The narrative does not feel too complicated, there are some very good moments, so it is quite fascinating sometimes. I have to say that in the end, I was quite pleasantly surprised by this mecha fantasy epic. 6/10. ()
