Needless

Very appropriate name. Awful OP, an ED that rivals Divergence Eve’s for inappropriate (doesn’t beat it, but does manage a respectable showing), and a setup/characters/style that are so obviously trying to rip off Gurren Lagen (with a much more frenetic style and mutants instead of robots) it’s painful. No, really. There’s a Kamina, a Yoko, a non-gay Leeron, and definitely a Simon, and we’re not even out of the first episode.

Oh, and a cute girl died (well, no body, so maybe not) in the opening minutes, saving the Simon. And Yoko’s a hyper-violent ditz. Imagine a curvy Louise Zero with Suzumiya Haruhi’s personality.

I really hope something else comes through with a bit of quality this season (he says, while checking on the Queen’s Blade and Akane-Iro OVA torrents), or I’m going to be ordering a lot of hentai VN’s from Robert to keep busy….

    I’ve actually found this to be one of the better seasons for first episodes… Canaan, Aoi Hana, Haruhi 2: The Wrath of Kyon, Taishou Yakyuu Musume, and maybe even Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 and Yoko Wakaru Gendai Mahou are all on my ‘going to follow’ list.
