Animation's definitely better looking than Guilty Crown's. The characters move fluidly and even the mecha are more polished. Probably the best looking anime of the season by far.
Too bad they seem to wasting their breath on a crummy concept.
Base looks just like the final stage of Deus Ex:HR
The girl Madoka is asked by her older sister the very same thing that was asked of Magical girl Madoka. "Do you like your current life?"
Madoka wasn't even surprised about the mech unveiled in front of her without warning and she rode it without any second thought and jumped into the battle without asking questions and German Suplex'ed a Mecha much bigger than hers.
They completely skipped everything and jumped to the third episode.
