Episode 2

This show really is much better than I could expect, and it seems like it's only getting better. Aside from the miserable performance of the first squad of knights (the ones defending the fortress), the fight was splendid as well. Ernie laughing like a maniac when he finally got to operate a mecha was jolly good. In a funny way the fact he had no education on those things was a plus for him, as he could simply fight like mecha are shown to fight in anime, he wasn't burdened by the useless centuries old doctrines that are holding back all the others. Although that being said, obviously the Silhouette Knights were designed for the lethargic movements as the frame couldn't take Ernie's piloting. He really needs to include inertial dampeners (shock absorbers) in his own design so that the sudden decelerations won't break the joints. I suppose reducing the mass would also be wise since he seems to value speed over tanking.

Outside of action, I appreciate how he simply stoically accepts getting hugged by the pretty girls. I hope he remains like that for the time being, until he actually gets interested in someone, should that happen. Much better than panicking and other shit.
