Bleeeh. First was cars with arms and legs, which, like. No. Just... no. The animation almost approached dynamic and bouncing off rooftops could be amusing, but. Cars with legs. No. Sweet zeus those things looked godawful.
Second was
almost interesting -- the mechs vaguely bug look approached appealing... and then they started moving and fighting it was just kinda'... I'unno, it felt almost
lazy. Iffy CGI et al. Swords of Greater Compensation +3 and whatnot, no thanks.
Third... the tentacley thing was kinda' appealing, design wise. Everything else was kinda' shite. ... especially characters and that freaking backwards arm blade
thing I've basically never seen used in a way that didn't look terrible.
Forth arguably had the best mecha design, imo, but the apparent primary machine committed the heretical mistake of having no feet. You can't have a proper mecha if it doesn't have feet. Preferably nice and bulky ones. Characters also looked kinda' eh.
Fifth... almost? It felt like it tried harder than the first three, but the mech design still looked kinda' bad and the fight choreography I saw looked just lackluster -- especially the bit where the machine with the maces apparently
cut through something.
