    Mecha-Ude

    This one is weird to me. When it’s trying to be funny or charming I think it almost always succeeds. When it’s trying to be cool or edgy (most of the time unfortunately) it almost always fails.

      It almost gives off the vibes of a 20th-century Western-made Saturday morning cartoon (except that for some reason the MC’s relationship with his mecha-ude reminds me of the one between the lead in Kill La Kill and her seifuku). I’m not quite sure why—maybe it’s the lack of any real moral ambiguity? Anyway, many of those could not do cool or edgy to save their lives.
