Okay, final thoughts (for now!) on ep 1, after watching the Shinsen-Subs version.
This thing is dying for a competent dub, because trying to read the subtitles and follow the Valk action? Not easy. ^.^
The VF-25: second best Valkyrie ever. (I remain a devotee of the original.)
EX-Gear thingies: had me laughing till I cried. Someone point Gryphon at this stat, because Valkyries finally have their very own Cyclones!
Ranka: is her hair just cartoony exaggeration, or does she have hi-tech Smart Hair that changes colors and moves around? Also, her cell phone/pet frog is cute and disturbing. It'd make a good Pokethulhu critter.
...And whatever the biomechs are, the fleet President appears to have been expecting them. As has the Skull Squadron leader. (And these Skulls are a Blackwater-style group? Odd.)
