Five giant mecha-girls are piloted by ten orphan children grouped as boy-girl "partners" who are raised as the only weapon against bio-robotic blue-bleeding monsters, defending their dome-utopia city they mayn't visit that moves around the barren planet. The main character can't pilot a mecha, then he meets a weird girl whose partners keep dying.
A new rendition of KADO: The Right Answer, made in collaboration with studio Trigger.
24 episode conclusive anime original.
1/10★ - A joke, lamentable and rather disgusting.
Strengths: edgy plot, trash waifus, sexual innuendos everywhere.
Weaknesses: you'll feel disappointed no matter what you like in anime.
What people like and dislike about it varies: the sci-fi plot, the developed characters, the shipping, the cringey fanservice, the great action with mecha-battles, but there's one factor in common: they're all left unsatisfied by the end. It baits you, then slaps you in the face like a lame prank.
The high-quality production values, seeming popularity, and countless pieces of fan art made everywhere in the world will trick into thinking this is actually a good anime. And yes, it's well-made, but that's all dwarfed by its Achilles' heel of a writing that crumbled into something laughable.
It feels as if it was researched to hook all sorts of anime fans with its fan-pandering, but fails to deliver to anyone. Not even a "you can't make everyone happy." A "you made everyone unhappy."
Existential crisis is the first of the many "deep" "edgy" topics the show attempts to talk about. The eerie utopia? Dystopia? Theme coupled with tons of other dark science stuff, mysteries, reveals, seriousness and a bit of realism in some parts makes the world look very profound and interesting, and that's a pity as it shifts its focus toward the characters' relationships.
The plot repeatedly puts the main heroine on a pedestal, juggles her around, and makes the hero look like he was made solely as a guy for her. It isn't an epic romance-adventure like Katanagatari. It's a blank-slate of a male psychotically obsessed with a girl. His mediocrity compared to the other guys, who're side-characters, is honestly vexing. The awfully large cast feels mishandled in its entirety.
Whatever you think you'll like in this anime, go find another anime that does it well and watch that one instead, because if you watch this one, you will be betrayed. It's indefensible.

Details
A sci-fi that combines mecha with some philosophical questions. It has a lot of technobabble and some science-y plot for SF fans, but TTGL-esque cartoony mecha fights to make those same SF fans roll their eyes.
A balanced gender ratio, forced so because of the plot. Anyone can tell these predefined boy-girl partners automatically become canon/originalist ships. An awful decision and sort of a cop-out. Added to that, raised as weapons, these boys and girls don't even know the concept of kissing. Another cop-out to make utterly uninteresting couples artificially interesting by having them rediscover the basic tenets of being in a relationship.
Although not ecchi, it features some nudity and form-fitting spandex suits that's almost the same thing, it's filled with trashy, perverted, embarrassing moments, and sexual innuendos rubbed in your face in a way you can only imagine the author giggling to himself muttering "get it? get it?" As he makes crass jokes. So if you wanted ecchi, you won't get it. If you didn't want trashy, you won't get it either.
The violence is mostly in the form of mecha battles full of impact. There's some blood, red and blue, people get hospitalized. Nothing gruesome. It's PG-13. However, these are some rather "not fun" scenes, involving insensitive disregard of life, given its science fiction nature.
