Kyoukai Senki was very enjoyable for me. I found that it wasn't the Gundam series that I love. Sunrise did a great job taking this anime in a different direction. The fact is getting a season 2 which is solid. It was very boring starting episodes but it did pick up as went on. The final episode was well done left a lot of questions about what's coming in season 2. Kyoukai Senki mechs had total different looking like Gundam rip offs the AI were funny each one was unique. Kyoukai Senki is solid anime something you can watch in day. Slow beginning but thesolid ending for the first cour.
