I don't know how I feel about this show. On the one hand I really like the premise, it seems pretty cool (and MECHS!). On the other hand
I'm sick of these motherfuckin snakes overdone highschool stock protagonists. Maybe its just because I'm getting old, but what happened to the good ole days, where we had the badasses, you know the Spike Spiegels and Mugens of the anime world. The characters who kicked ass and took names. I guess I'm just tired of the "whiny unsure highschool kid, that gets thrown into extreme situation, and comes out victorious" motif. I think the story might work better if the main character was a more poignant anti-hero instead of a "I must help the girl!" hero.
I'll keep watching for this though
