Highly entertaining. Steampunk meets Attack on Titan with a lead character who has some brains to his balls. I totally expect him to have some form of superpower after this. And if the similarities weren't enough, Sawano Hiroyuki's doing the music again. Maybe it won't be exactly like our other friend who survived a pathogen attack, but they've already shown evidence of physiology-enhancing features of the virus already.

The art itself is attractive. Overall it's older school. The girls themselves seem oddly ero to me however. Maybe they're remnicense of porn where poor budget meets cool-in-theory designs? Anyway, they look good.

I'm not sure what's so special behind his pile-driver gun and why no-one else thought of it prior. If they have explosives they should just use that instead of steam.
