Yes, the Frankxx design was quite strange, especially the moe face. Who on Earth gives a mecha such a face? You can understand better the typical Gundam and such faces as they look like warriors or monsters (like the RL shark face fighter plane paintings). Another thing that caught my attention was the MC dude's slightly autistic personality. However, it could also turn out good if he puts that trait to use by turning it into a piloting/fighting obsession.

I'm quite optimistic about this series. It could be good. The setting is interesting, the characters aren't bad (especially Zero Two). I imagine fights won't be this easy in the future. I don't mind at all the destiny stuff either.
