It was alright.
I do like the cool headed Yamato, only really getting loud when the situation calls for it. I also like the Zyuman's looser personalities, willing to do silly things because they enjoy it, but they're not over the top or annoying while doing so. It makes scenes involving them goofing off not too grating (Sela swimming around in the fountain was pretty funny and cute, as well as the scene of Yamato dragging the 3 of them back with dog collars).
I did enjoy that Tusk's plot wasn't immediately resolved at the start of the episode, but was a little disappointed that it was resolved halfway through. I do hope the "I'll let you borrow it" scene involving the Changer does come back down the road.

My main issue was that the episode kind of went from it's own story to the generic copy paste as soon as they morphed. Fighting fighting fighting mech combination, fighting, fighting, episode over. I wouldn't be so disappointed if it didn't take up so much time. Their team finisher is...Interesting, to say the least, and ZyuOhKing with tiger and elephant is nice looking in motion (I'll probably grab that minipla, too), but ultimately, aside from the cute little scene in the cockpit, it really could've been cut out and nothing would be missed, which really sucks.

Well, I'll probably keep up with it for the next couple weeks. Yamato is a really nice red, both in being a break from the hot headed reds, as well as just being a nice dude caught up in this huge situation (I enjoy him trying to be level headed, but his compatriots ensure that doesn't happen) and the Zyuman's aren't annoying (Well...Most of the time), so seeing their antics doesn't really bother me.
Villains are so standard they could be replaced with stick figures and actually become more interesting, and the quirky side character is pretty meh (Lives in a log cabin, dresses as animals while making obnoxious sounds, and eats bowls of natto that huge? Par for the course at this point).

Also Sela can swim in the ground. Well, that's one hell of a power.
