Star Driver: Kagayaki no Takuto

Deep beneath the surface of Southern Cross Isle, a mysterious organization known as the Glittering Crux Brigade frequently gathers in their underground fortress. The group is particularly interested in "Cybodies," stone giants which can transform into massive fighting humanoids but only in a realm known as "Zero Time." By finding and shattering the seals of the island's four seal maidens, Glittering Crux hopes to break free of Zero Time and use the Cybodies anywhere they please.

One night, a young man named Takuto Tsunashi washes up on the island's shore and is rescued by Sugata Shindou and his fiancée Wako Agemaki, one of the island's seal maidens. After he awakens, Takuto quickly befriends the two and proceeds to enroll at the local academy, where many of his fellow students are secretly of Glittering Crux. However, Takuto holds a secret: when in Zero Time, he can utilize a Cybody of his own—the Tauburn. In the forthcoming battle, Takuto and the Tauburn will be the key to preventing Glittering Crux from shattering Wako's seal and realizing its nefarious ambitions.

Star Driver is a show about adolescence, and of course adolescents. They wander, get lost, make mistakes, try to find meaning in life, and try to do the right thing. Some of them fall in love, and others yearn to. There’s a pitiable few who get trapped there, and never learn to grow up. That’s Star Driver. There’s also a story, of course, and it does some cool things sometimes, but it’s not what’s ultimately important: the feelings, the friendships, and the adventures.

If you just let go and let Star Driver carry you, it’s an incredible ride. Its biggest strengths are that it looks fabulous ... and has a strong, weird vibe. Its biggest weaknesses are its plot and repetitiveness.

Highly recommended.

Kiraboshi!

Mixed Feelings

4 things I'd like to point out that may let you decide to either watch this or not.

1. The plot was weird but kinda okay. And this is coming from someone who've watched dozens of anime and weirder shit that'll make you go deep into your religion just to wash your sins away.
2. The mechs were awesome, it gives a Gurren Lagann vibe. The mechs have weird body proportions and the MC gets a new power-up almost every episode.
3. This must be the weirdest love triangle in anime I've ever watch. Even I can't decide who to ship with the 3 main characters.
4. The villains ... of the anime are a part of an underground organization that hides the identity even among themselves by wearing a mask. Which is stupid and pointless if each character as a distinct hair color and hairstyle. The MC's and the even go to the same school and I swear the characters must be brain damage to not recognize people by their unique hairstyle and color.

I don't mean to shit on this show so much, I mean it's not half bad. I swear this was written to female audiences, they only added the mecha part so girls can grow to like mecha too.

WARNING SPOILERS OF A SHORT REVIEW (NOT REALLY JUST EXPRESSING MY OPINION)

i mean seriously, i watched this off a hunch from a bit i saw on youutube, was expecting a parodic mecha anime of some sorts, but after ep 25 credits rolled i just stood up, turned 360 degrees and left. the characters, go literally nowhere, there is no backstory. the battle scenes are just the same thing. there is no implied shipping or room for any shipping, all the characters are petty and not to mention, the transformation scene, is the same EVERY SINGLE EPISODE.
