This Christine Love story is an extremely anime story about a student learning to fight robots with a giant sword and falling in love with her turncoat fencing teacher.

I wanted to like this, but I just felt like it wasn't for me (in the literal sense that perhaps I am not the target audience). Maybe I haven't seen enough Gundam. Maybe anime tropes aren't quite my cuppa. I wish the worldbuilding around universal language and the Voyager broadcast weren't quite so thin. I have love love loved Christine Love's games writing universally, and Get in the Car, Loser! is one of my most favorite games, but somehow this just didn't land for me. I don't mean that as a euphemism though; I know this will really land for some folks.
