Heavy Object - Episode 1: Review

This post contains spoilers . . .

My god, I thought this this first episode was horrible. The animation, art style, and concept reminded me initially of Aldnoah.Zero; however, it appears to lack the political and romantic aspects that Aldnoah.Zero had. 

Heavy Object is set in a world where wars are frequent and can be waged over petty disputes like territory. What allows them to be like this is the invention of the Heavy Object, a massive killing machine that far surpasses and other form of military machine in both size and might. 

I felt assaulted by the slew of scientific jargon that came out of Blond Main Character 1, much like how  similar scientific jargon was utilized during Inaho's fight scenes in Aldnoah.Zero. Aldnoah.Zero's use of said scientific jargon didn't feel as out of place and utterly useless as it did in this episode because it was a byproduct of Inaho's communication with his robot (and later, with his eyeball), whereas its use in Heavy Object was the stupid blatherings of a young blond protagonist who doesn't know how to act in front of his love interest. 

I also thought that the fan service scene where the main girl protagonist was being constrained by her belt buckles was absolutely insulting. She was being strangled to death and you couldn't help her because you didn't want to touch her boobs????? Seriously??

I apologize for not being able to remember any of the character's names, that only speaks to how little of an impression they left on me. I'm really just sick of the Coodere personality trope that the girl has (similar to Ayanami Rei, the girl from Sakurasou, and Isla from Plastic Memories), and the perverted personalities of the boys disgusts me. 

This show is just fan service for otakus that have similar mindsets and big-boob attractions as those of the main protagonists. Absolute trash.
