Checked out my first two picks for this anime season - Captain Earth and Daimidaler.

Captain Earth really is Eureka Seven meets Star Driver, and with those being two of my absolute favourite shows this has some real potential. The story didn't explain a lot (in fact it was pretty confusing) but it had E7 written all over it - the character design, the fashion,weird children with odd coloured hair. Meanwhile the mecha was totally Star Driver - what I assume was the villains had mecha that looked like they were lifted straight out of it, while the main mech was essentially a bulkier, blockier version of Taubarn. Exciting stuff.

Daimidaler on the other hand - well that was a thing. A high school kid pilots a crappy looking robot and powers it by fondling women's boobs. He battles the Penguin Empire, which is made up of people in penguin suits (which bizarrely all have boners) piloting penguin-esque mecha with crotch cannons.

Oh Japan, what will you think of next? It was pretty terrible, but the kind of terrible that you can't help but to want to watch more.
