I actually probably would consider at least watching the 2nd episode, despite the bad acting and writing, if they just wore some damn pants or skirts or something. Anything to tone down the fan service anyway.

Acting like this is the only way the show could be is just plain dumb. Just about everything could be improved in some way: the fan service, the acting, and the writing.

Unless, of course, one took the Eva approach and produced a deeply depressing story about young women with weapons grafted onto their bodies to fight an alien menace. That might not sell, though.

I think you have to approach it with the right state of mind: it’s goofy fun, completely over the top, utterly stupid. But it’s still fun. I really enjoyed it.

It’s a Gonzo fan-service show. But ultimately, what else could a mecha-musume show be? The idea itself is preposterous; there’s no way the resulting show could be deeply meaningful. So it’s to the credit of the direction team that they fully embraced the stupidity and ran with it.

I always give points for unpretentiousness.

@Anonymous - Well, I think I basically said some people would probably eat it up for the reasons that I hated it.
