EPISODE 01 - IT'S JUST A TOY COMMERCIAL, GUYS:

This 2-minute introduction prologue somehow succeeds in promoting the franchise itself and prompts to make even more merchandise after every model is introduced in this series. *sigh* At least has the effort to be fresh unlike other introductions, so it's not too bad. Also epic production values is one of the highest selling points.

Oh, and who cannot forget Mitsuru Hongo, and his roster which includes the infamous Outlaw Star, the boring first-half of IGPX, the epic, but poor Deltora Quest animation fiasco which didn't sync well with the models, the milking shit that is Battle Spirits, and... this?

Suddenly, he witnesses the voice who calls him.

As you can see, adults are ordered to change direction so that the adult can be able to work on their schedule. Yet this father has the gal to say this is the "last time", which Guren notices that he's lying. It will be another important plot point later on.

Max is your pet; pets are supposed to sympathize with humans, aren't it?

Someone launches out a origami bird paper into said new student and it turned out to be Ceylan. It's always noticeable on those other shows when you're the comic relief.

Ceylan goes unnoticed during the class session.

Later on, that voice turns out to be a robot toy figure who walks out for mysterious purposes.

Then why discuss instead of entering immediately the shop? Then later on, it's clear the very "anyone" is the sole owner.

Maybe these two blocks with their distinct colors will be used somewhere when the plot demands to. What's next?

Later on, these distant events depicted in the dreams will somehow be occurred, and will affect these characters as well. Feels like we've been spoiled big time, guys.

Unexpectedly these two will be involved in what will be the biggest Quartron war still occurring. This just screams toy commercial whether it will be fooling, or at least guaranteeing you it's not.

Then we get directed to the tutorial scene. Forwards this scene, we have another plot point that involves Villius's attempt to exterminate these two knights. This isn't the first time this serious trope is not only abused, but overused as hell.

Mind if I suggest you to ask their Tenkai functions instead?

Suddenly we have... another Tenkai Army leaded by Beag. But following this episode I think this will be an awesome ride, if it doesn't stay like a shitty toy commercial that is.

I said you it's Mitsuru Hongo's doing. Don't you dare deny it wasn't directed by him. Seriously, just google his name and look at his roster.

EPISODE 02 - WHAT ARE THESE TOYS AND WHAT ARE THEIR HISTORY:

Guren's narration is... a interesting attempt at awesomeness. Being this cool, huh?

That hologram though will calm you down for a quick exposition scene despite its intimidating stance, which is again an attempt to freshness. Did I mention "toy commercial"?

I also have lots of question on which I'll attempt to uncover very soon.

And Ceylan will give up at any given time, since he's nothing but a whiny brat when it comes to such tasks. He will refuse no matter what.

Cool shot, but it's a god damn spoiler about a distant event yet again. Can't this be guarded off from later episodes or even for the final episode or something?

Ceylan just read my mind.

That Tenkai Statue will trigger an important plot element, and it's going to use two other characters for exactly that. It's now a Tenkai Key Stone, which will uncover another important plot element. But these two other characters? Why are they even there when they should be introduced like, RIGHT NOW or something?

Mr. White uses "pizza" as excuse for his research regarding the Tenkai terminology.

What 'butt'?" They have their own terminology, so don't leave out weird words such as this.

Bravenwolf and... Tributon of the "Homework" are now under-prepared to take off into battle. Compared to the Beag army, which are perfectly fit for the awesome mess they'll involve themselves into.

The problem is this Bravenwolf is a newbie. No one recognizes that these are the new Tenkai Knights. And Tributon can't into battle because he is also a newbie.

Surprisingly, Valorn and Lydendor are better than those two other Knights around. Unlike Guren and Ceylan, they are the Tenkai Veterans.

They found a Tenkai Dragon piece. Yep, just like that Tenkai Key Stone they witnessed transforming into. Talk about "selling out its own

EPISODE 03 - EDGE EQUALS MADNESS:

Want to know why they're different? Because they're newbies!

Also, what happened to the CGI framerate? It didn't have choppy frames on the previous episodes.

Those blocks doesn't have batteries. Also there's no need for dancing moves, neither shouting will magically activate it.

The shenanigans are starting.

An search attempt of these cameos on the mall starts and ends without success. Even worse is that they hadn't paid attention to those characrers they were describing while they were eating. Wasted.

Good god, here we go.

Unaware that the two other knights are watching, huh?

THE EDGE amplifies the atmosphere all of a sudden.

The search should have been more easier had they rushed off for them. But nope, they refuse to cooperate because they can't equal each other. And to think they don't need Guren and Ceylan for this, may as well ask for trouble hadn't they learned as well.O

Oh, they are also initially heartless and could make for villain/anti-hero material. But they're main characters, so why not just include this pointless conversation for the sake of serious business?

All the mecha works mustn't miss retarded posing sequences. They are important.

No Knight is safe from this villain, not even Bravenwolf.

However, they won and they can now respect each other... after so much TENSION. Pretty much for calling this a toy commercial.

EPISODE 04 - 'FOUR'FOUR'FOUR'FOUR'FOUR'FOUR'FOUR'FOUR'FOUR'FOUR'FOUR'FOUR'FOUR'FOUR'FOUR'FOUR'FOUR'FOUR'FOUR'FOUR'FOUR'FOUR'FOUR'FOUR'FOUR'FOUR'FOUR'FOUR'FOUR'FOUR'FOUR'FOURFOUR:

A timeskip. Great.

Can't aim for shit, can't attack for shit. Sure it's harder than they thought.

Robofusion. And... word guessing. I guess that results on a diner. Thank god we have the football sequence, followed by...

A rowing sequence. Seriously, the entire pratice scene is just disappointing to watch. Even more is when we watched them attempting to fuse the "one mind, one team" strategy the whole time.

Not to forget Ceylan's father. As I mentioned on the first episode, adults are ordered to change direction so that the adult can be able to work on their schedule. Too bad Ceylan can't have a good time living here. (Ignored)

Now the characterization is strong on this one. Now we- WAIT, COMMANDS? NO, NAKAMA POWER? W-Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa...

We can't disagree it was a good episode, right? We also cannot disagree it is better than Gundam Milking Fighters and Gundam Milking Fighters TRY HARDER.

EPISODE 05 - "ROBO-LUCKY" PLOT ARMOUR:

Say what: Guren's narration introduction is completely retarded. And for no other reason than awesomeness value.

For the faint of heart, no one would understand one of his most retarded quotes ever.

My god, Toxsa loves punning.

It's not like acting as the Ace will help you fix your problems.

Do you really think you can just straight out attack and win? Thinking about the "enemy within" first and then analyzing your opponent's strategy may help you on this.

ALERT: Recapitulation commenced. Avoid the recapitulation sequence. Repeat: Avoid the recapitulation sequence.

Why is Villius agitated? Because they lost, that's all!

A "Tenkai" notice just now?

You shouldn't have complained about patience at all. Come on, you guys.

No words for this battle. Villius at least has the EDGE within.

Just to let you know though: You must know your potential and the opponent's potential first.

What, are they pressured to defend themselves when there's no power enough just in case?

EPISODE 06 - THE OVERPOWER EPISODE:

THANK GOD it did NOT have retarded Guren narration.

"Something big" which is...? Oh what now, are we forced to answer it for ourselves this time!?

They are now Mr. White's assistants, helping to reconstruct his "fallen" shop. You read that correctly.

What was that asspulled recrap for? Guren will never give up unlike the rest of the retards that has just given up on the task.

Why all you four discussing about not being prepared when all you do is whine together like a bunch of babies?

Well, can't be helped. Let's start it this way by attacking mooks by permitting Bravenwolf on his way.

EDGE is now even edgier thanks to this upgrade.

"Tenkai Duster Buster". Just look at that move.

Oh god, not another "Tenkai" retarded move.

Yes, they're indeed crazier. But Gurren Lagann showcased that in a very believable way and it worked. I'm not quite sure on how to believe on, say, going this far from this effort? But whatever.

NAKAMA POWER ENGAGE!

Oh boy, this will suck.

Come on, the power was also you guys' power all along!

English? Guys, we're already English language already, let's not go for simplicity, OK?
