I liked it! By the final fight, my eyes were bleeding from the 90's eXtreeeme ACACAC-ACTION! and neon blitz flashes and man, I was feelin' it.

It was pretty surreal overall. I'm a huge fan of weird shit so, yeah, hard not to like it; the baked chicken-headed cannon fodder must be a nod to the whack-a-doo randomness of so many platform games. Seriously, what other explanation could there be?

FIVE YEARS: Okay, so Mighty Action X has been in development for five years.
Also, we learn that, five years ago, some tragedy occurred regarding the Bugster virus. Certainly, these are connected. Perhaps the game itself created the virus? Despite the main plot goofery, they jump in the serious business water pretty fast on that simmering sub. I'm thinking they're aiming for a Den-O // Gaim hybrid since those seemed to be their greatest successes in recent years.

Pretty interesting that Asuna / Poppy Pipopapo potentially sketches out the arc structure of the series:

So, fifty episodes, five per arc for a ten arc series, maybe?

An aside: I like how terribly acted Poppy Pipopapo is.

An Aside #2: Graphite - terrible costume, killer Game Gear Gauntlet.

An Aside #3: I like the retro-to-death view on video games EX-Aid has. You can tell it's designed by curmudgeonly Gen Xers who haven't touched a console in at least a decade.
