First of all notice that the note is the result of what I enjoyed or not (mostly not) of this series. My analysis conforms my particular point of view, as is usual in such cases. It should be noted that we are only users of this and we entertain ourselves, (except some cases) we don't live in this industry. So like most this isn't a professional review but rather is a particular vision and you can feel free of that maybe you might get to like this series.
It wasn't my case, I found it very ugly and I gift it a bit of qualification. Just
...
for little details that I liked, but I should put a 2.
Design.
Well, actually I saw the series to saw the design of mecha. I reminded to the Dancougar Nova, and although this is not a great match, at least it's a sequel to a series impressive like Dancouga .
I'm not, however, someone that remove points from the design of both the characters and the mechas, but if disturb me when a mecha is too stylized. This isn't the case and the designs are acceptable, nothing very special but acceptable.
History
The protagonist is a weak girl, scary, clumsy, distracted, not popular and that not trust in herself and she love a guy who's popular, good at sports.... They have been known from children and they give many circumlocutions and with much romantic story. Nothing original, right?
Perhaps it that gives a bit of originality is the seconds main character, the perfect girl, intelligent, excellent pianist, archer magnificent, beautiful, with big breasted, president of all student councils, who will have to deal between her love for another woman and her work as piece of the ritual, among other issues.
Often, it can get boring, so romantic content with that strange triangle between lesbianism disguised (Chiaka), ignorance of almost everything that happens (Himeko) and also Souma breaking his fate for his love. Yes, it's cheesy as it sounds.
Characters
There aren't characters pleasant (except Chikane), much less original. I have already described the mains and just say that the rest don't offers great variations neither, Miyako and Otoha are typical girls that love to their heads and become jealous because they are in love of someone else, the rest are mostly characters filler without much significance.
Plot
Development begins showing a bit of school life to jump to the relationship between the two priestesses and how they come to be. Throughout this first part Oogami is not so relevant, even if he breaks your Oroshi's destination in battle, those battles are so short that is secundary and the friendship (lesbian or not, you judge) stands first episodes . So much is showing some originality because Souma takes no romantic interest in history, but then itself becomes part of that and shows great eagerness to conquer Himeko and then development is becoming obvious, predictable and above all extremely cheesy.
The chapters are clearly romantic and just the last 2 minutes of mecha action, a number that makes slow and predictable and, therefore, boring.
I must say that when Chikane changes course produces a slight shock and probably is the best part of the plot, because doubt arises the why she changed from being a member of a Oroshi's priestess .
script
You can not expect much of anything, is to be becoming more cheesy. Probably the best script is in chapter 11, but overall is awful.
Music
I'm not one to get very hard at this point (except when it is actually very good as Miyu, Sakon or Bubblegum Crisis), since music is the result of an extensive study that targets a specific audience for which it was created this series. I don't settle for that group and I think really bad, and I mean not only the Op and Ed's music but also episodes. Awful too.
Enjoyment
At this point lost by a landslide. There isn't a series you enjoyed or would recommend. There are few good passages but I think I should be mention. The first is the beating that Chikane gives to Souma, after she abused to Himeko; another is when Chikane eliminates the other pillars of Oroshi and I liked the fact that all that bad paper was adopted by her and actually she wasn't manipulated by Miyako.
I see no Shoujo ai (this is the only one I've seen and just because he had wick) and I can not say if it suits the requirements of consuming this genre. Not much contact with women, that is true. Mine is the mecha and I can say that it is very ugly in this regard, maybe not by pathetic fights (some of them were Oogami-vs-Tsubasa) but more by scarcity. A very unoriginal story and a very romantic story merited a little more action. To salvage something LOL.
