In its... character designs?
*stares at images*

I'm not really seeing similarities. ? I mean it doesn't really look like Death Note-style characters to me.

Yeah about design...well death note and bakuman styles has lot
of differences (main bakuman draws are pretty different of the first
chapters draws), but with faces and eyes, has a lot of similar things
but well, maybe is just my impression or i'm just on drugs.

Even if design is similar i don't care, i watch animes because they're intresting
and if it's Bones, this must be very good =)

Ah, I see. Well maybe BONES had inspiration for that for the girl's character design. (I don't see similarities in the guys' between Bakuman and Star Driver.)
However since you posted eg's of your findings, I wouldn't be surprised if they were influenced with the way the girl's were drawn.

True..but the main guy seems very familiar to Trap, a manga inside
Bakuman story but i couldn't find a good picture ^^'
But well well they're just similar stuff, but two different thing
so it doesn't matter =O It was just an opinion XD

Apparently BONES pulled another Heroman and decided to work on a manga for this anime first. =o
You can find Chp. 1 scanlated online. From the information presented in that first chapter, I quite like the story so far. :D

(Sugata's totally mine. <3 xD)

Wow, ep 1 is made of so much win, i don't know where to start. some of the high points:

Spoiler :
The most "unique" transformations i've seen in a while
A guy who self announces himself as "The galactic pretty boy."
A masked group who greet each other by saying "glittering star"
And, best line "I'm going to start my fabulous school life...with pliers!"
The maids with bunny and cat ears are a bonus i guess.


btw, at the very start of the ep did the girl say "I smell a guy I don't know"?

Good to see this topic in the Series section now. :3

Ugh, I have to wait until Sunday to watch episode 1. My friend wants to watch it really badly, and only can at my house for overuse of bandwith reasons at his place.
Oh well. If he comes over on Sunday, we can watch 2 episodes. :'D

Color me impressed with the first ep. There seems to be an exceedingly intricate interface/battlefield/purpose for these robots, and it's done in a very different way. The characters are all pretty interesting so far too.

If this show continues on with the same direction and tone as episode one I foresee this being the new Geass R2 with regards to North American fandom and trolling. It definitely comes off as campy for NA fandom imo.

Alright, I have finally watched episode 1!

Hm... well honestly I think I'm going to have to disagree with a lot of the negative comments on it. =o Before episode 1 came out, I had seriously embraced the cheesiness in the name titles and all that. At this point, it was 'laugably lame', and so 'awesomely lame' in my eyes. So I went into watching episode 1 with this idea in mind.

However, one thing I can 100% agree on is its pacing: this was WAY too fast, but I didn't mind nothing being explained because the rest of the episodes allow for explanation time.

Sugata is awesome and needs more screentime.
The blue-haired test subject girl has a great singing voice (I loved the song she sang) and I really felt bad for her. I think she's basically a less personality-driven Anemone, and I really hope her story ends up happy in the end.
Takuto is actually an admirable character, and has martial arts skills. Sweet.
George NEEDS TO GET BACK IN THE GAME, MAN. XD

So... honestly, besides the pacing (and one unecessary fanservice nekkid shot of blue-haired girl), I liked it.

I feel like I'm watching an elaborate musical stage show, just without all the singing. I LIKE IT.

One day they're going to make a series in which every transformation scene is a little different, the first series to do that will earn my "fabulous" sticker. But until then this one definitely has props, nothing says fabulous like a character who says "Dazzling the Stage!" just before transforming.
