Segways with machine guns. Yes! This is way more awesome than every mecha ever made. I whole-heartedly approve. Humanoid robots are dumb. Mankind invented the wheel thousands of years ago, and humanoid robots are a step backwards. Segways, on the other hand…

The entire premise of a school for mercenaries is pretty creative. But I’m not sure if it’s worth dealing with yet another Kugimiya Rie role with her squealy voice. I already can’t stand Aria. And I’m not optimistic about the classmates either. On the other hand, for once in a show like this we have a pretty good male lead. At first he seemed like the usual wimp, so when he picked Aria up, put on the sweet talk and shot the Segways by himself I was caught off guard (and pleasantly surprised). Nicely done, JCStaff.

If this show could focus on the killer robots, mercenaries and the male lead it would be pretty awesome. If it focuses on Aria blushing and beating the male lead up, and the male lead’s harem, it will be another season of Shakugan no Shana. My bets are on the latter.
