I had a really good time with this one. It's definitely as advertised, for fans of Pacific Rim (of which I consider myself one). It also had me reminiscing about the things I loved about The Hunger Games and Divergent, about young people in a world they didn't design but must inherit, trying to fight for themselves and the future the best way they know how. They are not perfect, they make stupid choices, they're arrogant and shitty sometimes. And also they're teenagers, so none of that is really surprising or unexpected. I always love a good found family vibe, which was strong here, but also gets at the big area that didn't feel as strong for me which was feeling like those other characters were really fully fleshed people. Then again, it's going to be a series, so there's lots of room for development there. I think Gearbreakers has a lot to say about neverending wars and generational trauma and having no good choices in an environment of brutality and mercilessness, which is unfortunately perpetually resonant. Looking forward to seeing what we get form Mikuta in the future.
