Seems like robots are the wrong thing to kick out of your robot show on the third episode.

Impressions:

And back to being incredibly boring. I feel like this also illustrates pretty well why I can stomach Musashi but this is boring me. This repeatedly kept flirting with introducing new characters, but only got as far as showing them being bullies/bullied, because this school is apparently the worst in the universe. Not only is hazing and abuse rampant, it has literally zero security inspections for students who are supposed to bring WMDs to campus. We'll figure all that out after the fact. Let's also send the rich and elite here. What could possibly go wrong? I think the worst part though might be trying to already rehab the wannabe rapist. His daddy is mean to him, so feel bad for this crazed lunatic, mad with power, taking it out on everybody around him.

But most of the episode wasn't really about the school or the students at all. It was a bunch of suits sitting in hearings. As you know, the thing that everybody wants to see when they open up a show about berserk teenagers piloting giant robots with beam weapons is administrative review. Welcome to the audit where a bunch of old people decide whether or not the show will continue. Be shocked when here, in the second third episode, they tut tut but decide that yes, the premise of the show may continue. If this was Musashi, we would've stayed focused on the kids, at least one would have been revealed to be a robot themself, and the audit would have ended in an assassination by a space werewolf and then beg you to play its already failed gacha system.
