Tekka 05 - Just tell them what is going on D-Boy for Christ's sake, the drama in this show is so forced. The rivalry with Noal is given no purpose to be here at all and that melodramatic moment where Noal thought he'd have to kill him was so poorly realised it was almost laughable. Same with Allied Defence Force, who are just dicks for the sake of being dicks.

What the hell happened to the animation this episode? The action was as epic as ever, but it's never looked so cheap, that is some of the worst movement I've seen from an anime and some of the most inconsistent visuals I've ever seen to boot. It was to laughable degrees in places as intense close ups depicted boss eyed characters or people walking away in the distance and becoming more and more out of proportion.

The stuff we learn about the Tek system was great though. It added some much needed tension to the action, even if it was largely false. Largely because of insanely shit pacing.
