I… I can’t bring myself to write properly about M-Frontier 11. I’m sorry. It’s just… There was just too much random fanservice detracting from the enjoyment of the series as a whole. I’m actually rather annoyed by it.
Bullet Points:
- Ranka is cute. Loved the modified Nyan-Nyan commercial.
- Streets seemed oddly devoid of traffic. Does everyone do what I do and walk everywhere? That would be nice.
- I still want that damn slug cell phone. Better than Code Geass’ phone, in my opinion.
- Annoying fanservice moments with Sheryl wearing the bathing suit, and the students crowding to watch.
- Nice touch with the synchronised planet.
- Alto-hime yaoi doujinshi inbound
- Alto-hime also loses terribly for giving up Ranka for Sheryl.
- Of course, it’s hard to dodge the “real limitless sky” thing that Alto’s always wanted.
- If VF-27 and Kira Yamato are going with Sheryl and Alto, does that mean they’ll fight together instead of against each other? High-performance custom machine alongside grunt machine, FTW!
- Ranka’s diary ED = awesome cuteness
- Also would like to note that the VF design may be one of the best possible mech designs at all. High speed or high maneuverability to avoid the beam rifle or energy weapon being pointed at you, good firepower in the form of either the gatling gun (VF-25) or energy rifle (VF-27, Mikhail’s sniper-type), missile spam, and apparently ‘energy conversion armor’ on other marks. The fighter mode is definitely superior to ZGMF-X10A Freedom (Gundam SEED)’s High Maneuverability Aerial Tactics mode, and probably more maneuverable than MSN-006 Zeta Gundam’s waverider form, too. I don’t even want to think about how badly XXXG-00W0 Wing Zero’s Bird Mode would kill this. Frickin’ Wing.
