Well, in my scifi experience, when a space station starts malfunctioning and disappears, that's bad news.
From my observations, I'm gonna infer that the Drago, Leo, and Pegasus satellites beam the Radioworld signals to Earth, which is probably pretty obvious.
The opening wasn't bad IMO. Showed us the main characters Subaru, Daigo (his dad), his mom, Nenji-esque fellow with AMAKEN baseball cap, rocker girl, blonde girl, and the crazed looking Radio Police Chief. For the FMs, I could clearly see Taurus Fire, the swan guy, and what looked like a whirlpool.
The remixed EXE music was a nice touch, as well as the IPC logo. I hope we get to see what happened to the characters from EXE sometime in the future.
I hope that Ryuusei doesn't make the mistake that Beast Plus did in cramming 25 minutes worth of material into 10 minutes. They could've just spread it out like what Ryuusei seems to be doing, but that could be because the actual game doesn't come out for two more months.
As an EXE fan, and as a space affictionado, I wish Ryuusei off to a great start! _________________ ' I don't care if the buzz isn't real- I can roleplay being drunk!'

Well, I wrote: "Sword card, hurry up, work, I want my pancakes!" So I win even before you even asked. Would be ironic if my prize was pancakes.
I'm with Dougurasu in that I kinda need the OP song to grow on me a bit. It's OK right now, but nothing too fantastic in my opinion. Bouncy techno dance grooves can be hit or miss. For some reason now that I think about it, the space station scene sorta reminded me of the art from the Xenosaga animated series. Now if only I could place who that grey-haired commander type dude with Subaru's dad reminded me of. It's not quite an old Gendo Ikari from Eva, but somebody else I can't put my finger on. Probably doesn't matter, 'cause I doubt he'll appear again, but it's annoying me. _________________ Avatar art thanks to toberboobap, animated gif thanks to Dr. Wily II

The characters look better in animation. That big kid reminds me of dex.
Those transers are huge. It's not that bad so far. But I wish it was longer.
That might help. Or it could work out well in 10 minuter parts. |

It is agreed then. Subaru's mom is the spawn of Tamako, Phakachi, and Haruka...
Meaning she is super hot and we must worship her *bricked*
Yeah but even her lips look like Phakachi
...All joking aside, I've noticed that the class president chick...her hair...it makes her look like Leganchor from ZX.
If you've seen how huge Leganchor's head is, you'll know what I mean...XD GOD IT'S HUGE!!!!!! _________________ The time is come. Bid farewell to your bloodstained past.

Personally I was shocked when I saw the Opening theme. I figured that they would do like they did in Beast+ and have no oppening, but yeah. I liked the song, but the images were lacking, probably because of the lack of shadowing. Though it seems that most the good animation will be the scenes with the space stations, and the radio world parts. _________________ I didn't lose my mind, I sold it on eBay!

The Opening was lacking probably because of the lack of info on the game, and the anime team either can't give spoilers or only have a vague idea of what is going on. What came first with .Exe? The show or the game? |

I just saw the ep for the first time. Kindly allow me to correct this portion of your summary:
DrkXFuZion wrote: | Later on at home, Subaru tries to microwave food for his mother and himself...only see the food begin to burn. | Subaru's mom wakes him up to have a look at the Food Dispenser as it was acting up. Important, because Mom made an AutoMeal setting for their breakfast. Here we hear Subaru say "Not another AutoMeal?!" . |
Thanks. Actually there's a lot more wrong to that section. I kinda dozed off and forgot to mention the fact that he was asleep and just woke up and all other sorts of good stuff. :] _________________ ~DrkX (Resident over-sexed camera-whore & Facebook zombie.)

The AutoMeal especially appealed to me, as I'm not that good a cook
Based on Subaru's reaction, it's probably the equivalent of our frozen meals.
It made me wonder how they cook non-AutoMeal foods.... _________________ TGS 2007:MISSED! T_T |

I just want to know what went wrong with the Brother Band System. I mean at the beginning everything looks good and then, fwish, Diago's gone in an instant. e_e
WarRock might be 'good' just because it's to his convinience. I mean he meets up with Subaru who's father is lost in space, he's a fugitive, and since their goals can be similar, WarRock wanting to beat the people after him, and Subaru trying to find his father on the Wave Road, I think we might have an interesting concept...
if they take advantage of it...
I like the art in this series, it doesn't seem lacking but more reminiscent of the beta-EXE that could have been, to me. It's not that the colors aren't vibrant, it's just the art style isn't as restricted. (at times EXE looked to have had heavily restricted angles and character profiles compared to, say , the X anime or this one.)
I also wonder how much of EXE will affect Ryuusei. =o
I think I might jump to conclusions to much.. XD;

Did anyone else notice that during the OP and the episode not a single girl is seen wearing a Transer? _________________

Hmm, yes now I see it's almost the same colour as Subaru's clothes so it's hard to see. Still...they're not exactly emphasising it are they? _________________

Well I disappeared during the course of Beast+ so I'm giving Ryuusei a shot.
Although I think the art needs a little more depth then what we are given with...
Hrm hrm...I'm sitting in class right now trying to listen, but this here has caught my attention much more then Beast+ did. _________________

Heh, I have one question.
Why Subaru has Pegasus Transer in the OP? Isn't it little strange? _________________

I think it's just because they needed a default colour, and blue was Pegasus. It's hard to say at this point, there could be a deeper meaning to it.
His father had a blue one as well, but that's the only thing that could be signifcant that we've seen so far. _________________

Well, but in this episode he had Blue Transer with HIS symbol. So why Pegasus symbol in opening? _________________

Luna has one in the ep too. You can see it as they pan up toward her face. On her left hand. |

Well, I tried to alter some screenshots of the opening to see if I could figure out any of the other FMs...of course, it didn't really work. After Taurus and Cygnus, I have some guesses on the next pair (if it is a pair). Random speculation if you want it! The one on the right, you can obviously see a snake-like thing twisted around the FM's arm. Easy guess is Ophiuchus, the serpent bearer. Along with that constellation is Serpens, obviously, the serpent. But, then again, the left side of that pair has some kind of mace/spiked ball that looks like Knightman's RRB. With an obvious water effect above it. Unfortunately, there are other snake-based constellations: Hydra, the water serpent and Hydrus, the water snake. Maybe the FMs are a pair like that. The only other obvious water constellations (I'm ignoring fish ones now) are Aquarius or Capricorn, so either one could be the left side FM. I don't think it's really goat looking, so I doubt it's Capricorn.
I'm totally sure the final pair are Gemini now. Scrolling the image until SubuRock is crunching down, the background is darker and I can make out the head of the white twin much better, eye is sorta Plantman-ish. They both do have one massive golden Heat-Guts style arm, which they're gripping around the bicep. I dunno if it's reddish hair or what coming out of the top. But being a Gemini, right now, they're my faves! _________________ Avatar art thanks to toberboobap, animated gif thanks to Dr. Wily II
