I think you can have slice-of-life and mecha in the same series. I will definitely check it out.

I figured I should stop reading at "girls 'n mecha", I'm sold right there. Somehow there is never enough mecha for me. I'll accept them all.

Hmm....I'm not excited about the whole "Girls and robots" theme, just because they tend to be cheesy or there's lots of exaggerated bouncing boobs, etc. But looking at who's in charge of the screenplay, I'm interested to see what happens.

Too bad I can't get the PV to play....

The only mecha shows I really like are when cute girls pilot at least some of them. So I'll give it a try.

Mecha and science-fiction are slowly filtering back into mainstream anime, yes! The staff is amazing, and I'm really looking forward to Lagrange next year. The anime staff is decked out with sci-fi veterans, so I'm highly anticipating this series.

I'm getting a slight Gunbuster vibe from it. Honestly if does turn into a slice of life show with mecha, cute girl pilots, a lack of annoying male lead I am sold. Bonus points if there is some good yuri subtext/overt text in it.

Forgot to add, I really loved Uchuu no Stellvia back in the day. I was always kind of disappointed that the creative team broke up before they could do the three full seasons they planned for the series.

Such a great team brought together for this series, I loved a lot of the shows they worked on. Looks like it'll be an interesting show

I find this sexist. A girls only mecha series. Mmm, nonetheless I love seeing girls dressed as they.

Let's see how long before Sentai Filmworks snaps up this title for US release by the end of 2012--after all, Sentai Filmworks did release the 26-episode "To Love-Ru" TV series here in the USA.

Looks like it could be decent, and the mech designs are awesome. Will most likely be watching this one. I mean it's Xebec with girls.... Plus, the grey haired girl looked kind of like Kannagi...
