Mecha-ude (TV) • Mecha Ude: Mechanical Arms - Episode 1 discussion

Not quite sold on this yet, but I'll keep going for now. The animation looks excellent, though the arm designs I found a little too detailed to follow well during some of the action sequences. The characters and world feel thought out, but we haven't really seen much of the substance yet. If it actually does give us little bits of that character- and world-building as we go forward, I think this will be a standout of the season, but it does currently also have the potential to play its cards way too close to the vest and end up a more frustrating watch. I give the premiere a 3/5 with room to grow.
