[Aoi Kurenai]

Man that is one ugly robot. I really hope it works better in live action form than it does on paper. At least we've got the chance to get decent train battles/giant scenes with the care that's been going into the robot scenes lately.

The suit helmets are pretty great, they're doing a good with with integration of the motif and it looks like a lot of actual work went into them....which makes everything else so confusing. How did that meeting with PLEX and Bandai go? I'd be afraid to see what design rejected in favor of these were like. I really do want to like the suits because they give that great splash of color that we've been missing for quite some time, but when I take it all in, they look so naked. I'm not a fan at all of the design on the chest. That it's the only thing there isn't bad enough, but the black and white clash horribly with the primary suit colors.

I can see the suits growing on me in action, but a suit that isn't appealing from the design stage already has a lot of problems going on.
