I've watched 8 episodes so far and I still can't decide

I loved it, but I expected it to be dry and slow from the beginning.
Studying policy theory at the time made it more interesting?
I would say that if you're not digging the relentless 'real-take-on-a-super-robot' in the next few episodes, you may as well drop it. It doesn't have a massive swing from what I remember.

It's a good show but if it's not your thing it's not your thing. Not everyone likes watching Super Robot Pilots fill out TPS reports.

I enjoy the concept, I guess I'm just a little surprised at how not prevalent the office issues and paperwork seem to be. It always seems to be "don't do this you're not authorised yet" "hey yo so imma do this anyway because saving people" "well okay I guess grumble grumble"

I mean, it appears to have the trappings of corporate meddling but it's clear that simply isn't the case and that the pilots do whatever the fuck they like.

And the damage paperwork is all totally irrelevant so far aside from the humour of "look at all these forms!" so I guess it isn't yet hitting the notes I'd expected of it.

If there's actual corporate or public opinion consequences later on then I'll keep watching for sure.

Legitimately autistic. Do yourself and all of us a favor and neck yourself.

I absolutely adore everything about it. Honestly I can't think of anything bad to say about it when I look at the series as a whole it's just absolutely wonderful

Keep pushing just a little bit more.

Ignore the shitposter, anon. Dai-guard is pretty well-liked here, but if it's not your cup of tea it's totaly fine.

It's been a while since I've watched the show, so I forget exactly when what happens. Has Shirota been introduced yet? There do come some public opinion consequences around the middle of the show -- specifically, the military wanting to take Dai-Gaurd back after heterodynes have become common again, and the issues surrounding that. The public opinion part comes in later after they decide to build THEIR OWN mech after not getting it back and having a public competition of sorts to see who'd the public rather have protect them. They also wind up learning more about heterodynes later on, which goes on to effect combat with them and Dai-Guard's weapons. Hope that helps you decide whether you want to keep watching or not.

Unrealted, but I really wish there was more fanart.

Shirota was around from the start.

Shirota is best boy

Fair enough. I certainly don't dislike it, I guess I was just a little surprised that it doesn't seem to be delivering too strongly on what I thought was its core concept so far.

>>15439299
I'm not surprised it's well liked, the concept is fairly unique and I am only a third of the way through so I'm going to stick with it.

Apparently it looks like episode 10 is where the politics really start to come into play, so I'll be looking forward to that. I'm not imagining Gasaraki-level serious political discourse but I'm hopeing for a shift towards slightly greater consequences.

>>15439062
Dai-Guard is a pretty character driven show. It gets better as the characters get to develop, so yeah I'd say it improves. But, if you're not too into the characters, the action and hijinks stay more or less on the same level throughout, but the stakes and consequences of the action do get higher in the second half.

Overall it's just a pretty comfy ride though.

I wouldn't mind a sequel, it pretty much had an open-ended ending.

The ending works for the series themes because it's open ended. The heterodyne are just metaphors for natural disasters so getting rid of them for good kind of misses the point.

You can do more with the characters though, I wouldn't mind seeing them again.
