Rinne no Lagrange First Impressions--A Show About Robots

You know you're in for a doozy when the main character drops her skirt within the first minute.

  
This post is late because I wanted to wait for the quality to stop being QUALITY, and since a lot of other blogs have already covered the basics of what's wrong with this show, I'll keep it short. The entire setup is surprisingly bland. It reminded me of the opening of Guilty Crown, or more recently, Symphogear, where it feels like the events are happening because the plot and the tropes demand it, rather than happening organically. It also doesn't help when your main character's only trait is that she can do everything perfectly (jack of all trades, master of none anyone?) and that it rips off references Evangelion. However, the animation is pretty solid and there's always the possibility that the fanservice was a first episode thing, just to get people to watch. I'm also holding out hope that the yet-to-be-introduced third character will be more interesting than the two that we've seen so far, so I'm still watching for now.
