I like the mecha design on this. Very rugged and utilitarian looking (in the same vein as Gasaraki and VOTOMS), like what you'd imagine "real" bipedal tanks would look -- except for the hero unit... too flashy, in a seen-that-look-a-thousand-times way, and it does not fit the general aesthetics of the others at all. However, the show itself looks superficially interesting enough to check it out.

I'm gonna check it out. I hope it has an interesting plot.
