In the near future Bandai & Square Enix (http://www.b-boys.jp/gyrozetter/) using licensed car models to make a knock off Transformers show to sell toys and make kids play collectable card arcade games. *cough* Meaning there are kids who make friends with artificial intelligence morphing cars.

How bad can Gyrozetters be? Or: How mean can I be to a show about crappy looking toys? Time to find out.

-Wait what? Did I accidentally get episode two? Why is this starting in medius res?
-OP is decent but reminds me of ever ZOIDS, Medabots, Beyblade, etc opening. The character designs remind me of Transformers Cybertron.
-Cars drive themselves. THE FUTURE! Great now I wanna watch eX-Driver (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_v8z9sLiho0) again.
-Arcadia Academy. A school run by a car company. What could possibly go wrong? Let's find out when we let a 12 year old girl drive a car.
-"I'm Inabe Rinne! I'm adorable! No I did not steal Futami Mami's hair & Kashiwazaki Sena's hair clip. Why do you ask?" And she got her dress from the 80s.
-HOLY SHIT! She can parallel park... Better than I can. She even uses the hand break. Damn.
-Now a 7 year old will drive... Good luck loli.
-G1 Pro Wrestling! You got the Touch.
-Loli parallel parks like me. :\
-Our "hero" drifts his way into the parking spot...
-Rinne is the second lead girl this season with wheels in her shoes. "Ina Bauer"?
-The "fated" "hero" Kakeru is a doofus. *sigh* Well atleast he isn't saving the world with a card game or tops.
-The Goblin Gundan is made up of matching black cars... Vehicons (http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Vehicon_%28Prime%29)? Plagarism!
-He "needs" him? Umm, why is an old man kidnapping Kakeru?
-"Depressingly awesome"? I hope that's a bad translation or this kid is messed up.
-Little Kaede, today you face a series of challenges! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WYBfEdEoAUY)
-"They're chasing a Prius. The Prophecy has come true!" Uhh...
-Naze nani roboto! Why is the robot that just was a car 5 times the mass of a car?

-Oh what the hell! They don't even pretend the car transformers into a robot. They just have it digitize then reform from glowing blocks into a robot. Buuuuuullshit. If you are going to steal from Transformers atleast commit to the gimmick.
-Rinne just called him out on his "depressingly awesome". Heh.
-Kaede has succeeded in her parallel parking challenge. Wait what is this feeling. I think I'm starting to... enjoy this.
-SEIG XENON!
-That's a awful lot of Vehicons.
-Robots dancing like idols... That ain't right.

That had some serious problems. But it kind of admitted to them. I think I liked this episode. I'm confused. :keroro:
