[New January 2012] Rinne no Lagrange


Japanese title: 輪廻のラグランジェ
Info: http://myanimelist.net/anime/11227/Rinne_no_Lagrange
Watch Online: http://www.hulu.com/lagrange-the-flower-of-rin-ne
Genres: Drama / Comedy
I've watched: 1 episode

Summary: A girl was asked to pilot a robot as a favor (WTF?!), now she has to save the earth from alien invaders.

First impression score: 85 - Huh?

Personal comments: The setting seems to be a normal world, but when the main character is asked to pilot a robot, the reaction is...less than you would normally expect. Then they just suddenly break out into this Evangelion type battle with aliens out of nowhere. There are some interesting dry humors which I though is pretty good and right on cue because it lightens up the atmosphere without disrupting the flow of the story. There are still a lot of explanation needs to be done, but I find the way they dropped us right in the middle of the action just like the main character was pretty interesting. I think this one has potential.
