So I just rewatched the first season today with my friend. I liked this series before but my opinion of it improved after the rewatch. I have to say I even enjoyed the cast even more.
My opinions of the battles did go down a little with the rewatch
(mainly the second and third battles) though still like them as a whole. Inaho is a little bit too OP though, weak Kat or not.
Strangely enough, I feel like the later parts of Season 1 is the stronger part of the series, which probably means I would disagree with the series becoming bad at some point. I do have issues with it, usually Inaho related but I like it quite a bit. Just feel like more things could be explored of the technology and the historical background but I guess given the episode count it can be a bit hard.
Also watched the first episode of the second season.
Episode 13 Spoilers
I liked the battle at the beginning. Really remind me of a typical Gundam space battle, even with the pink beam fired by the Tharsis.
There's a part of me that's disappointed that both the princess and Inaho survived though. Still it's interesting to see where things would head. Not exactly sure what Slaine is up to but whatever his viewpoint is he'll probably go back to the Princess' "real" philosophy at some point. I mean the princes is THERE, and so would he. I can't see him betraying her when faced to face with the real her at his side; after her eventual awakening anyways.
I think things would be interesting if the Princess actually died though I doubt it's going to happen now.
Still I'm excited for Season 2. Finally a mecha show I'm excited about to watch week to week.
