(iirc that was her name) Nor a red-headed Zen pra cticing American love interest... Though there are elves... I'm a bit surprised, though. There are a LOT of raws of this turning up (m ostly of episode one, though raws for episodes two and three are available on Tokyo Toshokan), but so far only the single translation of episode one i s out there so far. And on a loosely related note... Stylistically, parts of this remind me of The Five Star Stories. Some of t he mecha seem somewhat similar to Nagano's sword and shield style of mecha in that manga (and there was a pretty good variety of them). The blade on the face of Kenshi's mecha reminds me an awful lot of the similar blade on the LED Mirages piloted by the Mirage Knights (which, incidentally, are als o white mecha). And the floating castle that's used as an airship in episo de one reminds me of the much, much, MUCH larger floating landmass that Ami terasu uses as his capital. The overall tone and story is completely different so far, however. junior =0A=0A=0A
