#MUV LUV BETA ALERT SIREN SERIES#

Out of those I'm personally not a fan of mecha but ended up enjoying those scenes quite well (probably due to the BETAs and inside interior of the mech's more than any other aspects), so non-targeted audiences should still see this anime doing a good job. Don't like action/mech/gore/seinen: don't even bother. >random girl starts saying 'I survived the 8 minutes!', outcome was too obvious but still made me lolĪs to whom will hate/love it, it's quite simple. I'm most fascinated with the concept of BETA eating humans.

Therefore, this series has its work cut out if it decides to take advantage of its premise. Now, was this the best way to characterize Takamura? Because this series has to concern itself with world-building and mecha scenes (like E7 AO), I wouldn't harass this series for taking it slow with its characters, and even its plot (unless it turns out to be a 12 episode series, cutting everything short). Soldiers, not out of disrespect, are usually boring characters, but its seems Takamura has experienced an epiphany concerning death, changing her characterization as the perfect soldier to, hopefully, something more human in the upcoming episodes. So what have I learned about our main character, Takamura? Her actions are very mechanical, like those of a solider's, except when she has to kill the cool-headed girl.

Maybe I am giving the episode too much credit, but the only meaningful direct characterization of Takamura is the hospital scene, when she starts crying at the sight of a baby crying. What Takamura is not is:ġ) The girl who flies too high after getting high on her first kill.Ģ) The girl who runs out of ammo and closes her eyes as a BETA approaches, only to be saved by Takamura.ģ) The girl who starts bragging about surviving for eight minutes, only to get broken the very next second.Ĥ) The stubborn men (first we have seen pilot the mecha) who try to be valiant in a hopeless cause or turn clueless without a captain.ĥ) Definitely not the annoying girl who wants revenge for boyfriend and freaks out after every small threat.Ħ) Most importantly, not the cool-headed girl who asks for Takamura to take over after the fall of their commander and asks Takamura to shoot her before being eaten by the BETA. However, all we receive is indirect characterization about Takamura.

This episode revealed that Takamura is the only character we should be concerned about.
