It's funny how I see this series in a totally different way
I'm more drawn to the tactics used to overcome the overwhelming odds (dumb as they may be, sometimes) and the dynamic that the 2 protagonists have together. The fanservice annoys me most of the times, tbh. Although sometimes it results in funny moments (the female drill instructor video scene cracked me up for some reason). I guess it depends on what you want to see from anime.
You don't watch anime for the girls? You watch it for TACTICS of all things?
You shouldn't waste your time with this medium! There are better things for you!
Peace.
Ep 20:
Why is it that the best heroines are never the main ones? Black Uni is awesome cute. So is Myongli. Instead we get psycho object pilot and random commander.
Peace.
Just where did all those enemy objects come from? In the 19 previous episodes the MCs have been mainly relying on their single object, or not even that, and when they have got reinforcements, it has been a single other objects (I'm talking about domestic units). Now they got two extras and it was made to look like a big deal. Yet this language supremacist (what a joke) can muster half a dozen objects as if it's no big deal.
This author is some hard M guy. He just loves to make the MCs suffer pettily and pointlessly.
Wouldn't he be an S though? He doles out the punishment, not receives them.
Peace.
I don't think so. The MCs have been suffering nonstop since the beginning yet they always remain so full of energy and don't try to do anything to better their situation, which means they are happy with it. They are unprecedented national heroes, yet they are happy shovelling snow instead of doing what they should be doing (Object maintenance and radar stuff). So, doesn't this suggest its the author's own preference? If he was an S, I reckon the MCs wouldn't be enjoying their treatment that much but would struggle against it. Only a hard M would write a disposition like in this show thinking it looks perfectly natural.Originally Posted by shinta|hikari
Can the MCs even choose what they do? I think Froy has been ordering them around since day one.
Peace.
Then they should be hating her guts and certainly not saving and defending her. She's misusing her power as a superior officer. Especially since Qwenthur apparently is not even a soldier (and thus not allowed to carry a gun). Yet Frolaytia keeps sending even him to the front lines repeatedly, in addition to the menial tasks that have got nothing to do with Objects he ought to be busy maintaining and studying. For that alone she should be court-martialed. But the dudes never bring it to the attention of other superiors or the military police. Because they are hard M and in fact get their kicks out of every unreasonable punishment she puts them through following her sadistic nature.
Episode 22 - HS

I guess I was looking down on this show so much that it actually managed to fool me. Not that I still wouldn't consider this silly. It's kind of annoying elements keep appearing out of nowhere, like the fake merc group by the Intelligence spies ties time. Still, there was quite decent action this time, and it was certainly funny how Qwenthur and Havia got so 180 degrees different treatment.
But it still sucks that after saving the whole town full of people all they got from their own superiors were reprimands and threats. Really, Qwenthur should switch sides to the Intelligence Union (or whatever it was). It sounds like they would appreciate his efforts far more. By the looks of it, he's not even in love with the Princess, considering he never does anything to get closer to her after all, so what's stopping him? He doesn't even have noble family estates to inherit like Havia.
Idiocy is what's stopping him.
Merc Maids are cool tho.
Peace.
When they first appeared, my reaction was: "Jesus Christ, just when I thought this show couldn't possible introduce anything more foolish", but in the end the combat maids did present quite a good show. So good that I began to ignore their attires.
The best part to me is that the Intelligence Union commander lady and the maid leader have the same voice actresses as Misaka and Kuroko from Railgun.
Also, Prizewell City Slicker, lol, what a name.
TBH, it's still much better than Knight Commander Beefeater.
Peace.
Episode 24 Final - HS

Quite a decent ending all in all, although naturally it alone won't save this show nor make it good instead of merely tolerable. It has a sort of karmic beauty that the last object the legendary object destroyer Qwenthur had to destroy was the one he was looking after for the whole show. I confess I didn't see that coming before this arc launched, even though it's certainly quite a traditional plot. Perhaps it's only because I never really wasted brain time on analysing this series any deeper than was necessary to write superficial comments here.
I still think Qwenthur should defect, though. Now he was even invited semi-officially. It seems to me he would get much better treatment in a place that respects wits and skills instead of lineage. He would even retain a loli to hang around with...
But Qwenthur is an M. There's no way he's leaving psycho Froy and jelly Princess.
Peace.
