This ugly, horrid mecha haunts me. God damn it's hideous and it totally steals the show, that magnificent monstrosity. This show is, much like the mecha, a rather bit hideous, and potentially cursed.

It feels like they realized they weren't getting another season and crushed a second season's plot into the latter half of the only season they got, giving the story a bit of whiplash. Characters that were built for a slow burn end up having a sudden epiphany about who they are and what they want in life and then die 10 minutes later, it's quite annoying. Pretty much only Mika (the protag) and Mir (the rival) get a legitimate character arc for themselves, and even then it closes out kind of abruptly.

Still, the setting is interesting and I have real, genuine questions as to how they eliminated romantic relationships from all of society to the point that no one has the concept of "love" anymore. Kinda hard to breed that out of the entire human population, even if they all are clones. They're largely clones and test tube babies, it's odd. I think really enjoyed most out of the show was that the ugly, horrid mecha was STILL IN BETA, they hadn't even completed the coding yet! It's constantly giving them errors and BSoD on them, it's great! They have a tiny group of coders just holed up, scouring the existing code and debugging nearly the entire series and it's hilarious and terrible.

I do wish they'd sided entirely on the melodrama or the comedy, they did both okay, but could have done way better just concentrating on unifying their messaging. Mika's beef with the captain was one example of this, comes off a goofy anime rivalry, but also like a legit hatred on Mika's part, but also like a repressed romance arc. It just doesn't land right.

That all being said, it gets a That's Hideous +1 because holy moly I need more grotesque, half broken mecha in my life. It sadly also gets a They Killed My Fave -.5 because they offed him in a stupid way and I'll never forgive them for just up and shooting him like that, fuck. Balances out as a 4.5/10, worth a watch if you can put up with all the sexy anime boobsocks.
