Fun and underrated
If you watch expecting a big war anime you're gonna be disapointed, its good but not something that will change your life or make you fall in love with it
Overall, its good, animation are very well made and consistent, these big ass machines really look scary and mix well fantasy with something that could happen in real life
The characters are fun too, so thats good
Overall, its good as long as you're able to relax and enjoy some fun, trying to get a full on serious war anime out of this one will just make you mad and unable to enjoy the show

Heavy Object is a story about these war machines called Objects and each has a pilot. However, the story doesn't focus on them. Instead it focuses on three other characters: a regular male soldier, a noble male soldier and their female commander. The commander, like every other female character besides an old woman, only exist because of fan service. Boobs, legs, asses. Everyone knows that's all an anime girl is for, right? As if this wasn't enough, there's loads of sexist remarks and jokes that I don't appreciate one bit. Even their own pilot is just fanservice.
Moving on, these 2 soldiers get so many focus on a story about massive war machines because the plot is like a David vs Goliath sort of thing. The idea is how can 2 meaningless teenagers put up a fight and actually defeat these…

Watch it 10/10 my favorite anime since its launch. Watched it many times over. The only thing is I like the music but I wish it was a lot mor intense like Aldnoah.Zero's music. However it suits it well. If you like a main character that outwits his opposite in cleaver ways and never actual stupid decisions you will like this anime. I know, everyone acts like certain anime's like Death note or Code Geass have super smart main characters but I do not think so. They think to much in the box for having those kinds of power but in Heavy Object he does not have powers all he has his in knowledge on the Heavy Objects. Due to this I am never like what are you doing, your a genius just do this it is within the rules of your magic powers. Beyond that the only other thing is and it is not a complain…

You know, in my country we have a word, "stratokavlos", roughly translating to "army-d!cked". Boy does it fit here.
In the future, giant robots handle warfare in place of human soldiers. They're incredible exterior armors make them immune to nearly every conventional weapon, so basically the only way to kill these "objects" is with an object of your own.
Qwenthur and Havia, a military engineer and a soldier respectively (whose royalty background you'd swear they swapped by mistake), don't have that luxury. While the "Princess", the female lead, handles riding their nation's Object, they are pretty much errant boys, assisting in maintainance and being looked down on by their superiors. Eventually an enemy Object attacks and the 2 fail to evacuate. As a result they are left on-foot agains…

(This review has been adapted from my blog/reddit thread. Spoilers ahead!)
The heaviest item I have ever picked up was a giant television in my parents’ basement.
Though, at the time, it felt like I was carrying a medium-sized engine rather than a piece of technology that I once played all of my video games on. I distinctly remember picking it up, but, I had so much trouble, my father had to help out. Even then, when it finally got stashed away, the muscles in my arms convulsed from the strain.
That either says a lot about the TV or a lot about me. Probably both.
Regardless, it weighs nothing compared to the monstrosities created within Heavy Object. I’m talking pounds versus tons. Hundreds of thousands of tons. But more than weight, it also has tons of problems, too.

A couple of weeks ago I started watching all of the 2016 anime that I either missed or put on hold directly after I watched the first episode. So I decided to watch some of the Fall 2015 leftovers that finished in 2016 and Heavy Object was the only one that I haven’t already seen or was a sequel (apart from Brave Beats). I finished it recently so I decided I should review it. So, let’s get to it.
Story:
Story wise Heavy Object is pretty bare bones. The main premise is somewhat unique since instead of focusing on Object battles it instead focuses on the main characters Qwenther and Havia defeating a variety of different Objects without using an object and instead using careful planning, tactics and some split-second decisions. Because this premise is filled with infinite possibilities the…

I started watching this and finished it in one day!
I founded this on a Top Anime list and so, I decided to watch it since it keeps on showing up.
The Anime world seems to be fading for me, I watched too much good anime that there was no more to be find for me.
When my Anime feelings was being killed from the inside, I found this Anime and almost recovered fully!
For me, an Anime like this is a rare counter.
And so, I will be doing my first review for my life on this Anime, since it gave me my the joy I needed.
Most people will considered an Mech Anime bad, but however this one sets out something different.
I think its 9/10 because!
The story sets out on when the real world was more in the future with an War Mech called Objects, Objects are unbeatable War Mech that decides who wins the…

To put it bluntly Heavy object is scattered.
The story in itself, character design, mood, art etc all isn't that bad alone but overall it just doesn't feel whole. This is strongly emphasized by the setting of military states battling each other with massive "object" war machines that require crews of hundred people to maintain, large home bases to set up and billions of units of cash to create then being contrasted with a duo being assigned time and time again to work together (this should never happen), single pilot being assigned to this war machine (common mecha trope, but makes even less sense in Heavy objects setting), just plain makes so many odd simplifications about warfare while trying to have grim serious world it is weird (Seriously, the objects main guns can easily destroy ot…

The plot is original, and although many characters are cookie-cutter, they were still engaging. Super-mega-gigantic-BDO's fight battles instead of armies. But who's behind the scenes? What's the real reason? There's political intrigue, the usual light sexual humor, plenty of explosions and lots of fun to be had.
When our daring duo of Object killers dialogue, it reminds me of Spice and Wolf. The technology is futuristic, but not too much - it's all very believable.
The world is made up of four super powers, all with objects. There are also fractures among the powers that be, so civil war and even corporate infighting using objects occurs. On land, sea and underwater, objects seem to master everywhere - although there are no true flying objects. But I suppose a few million tons won't fly…

I have a deep hatred towards mechas. They're as generic as a light novel anime adaptations out there with a protagonist who's OP as hell and gets all the girls he wants with ease. When J.C Staff announced this anime, I avoided this at first but I decided to just go and give it a try. Surprisingly, Heavy Object is one of my guilty pleasures. One of the reasons why I enjoyed it is because Heavy Object isn't your usual flying robots mecha anime.
[Story]: (3/10)
In the distant future, a massive, spherical tanks called "Objects"; armed with a very powerful cannon and equipped with an armour that renders tanks, jets, warships and even nuclear weapons obsolete, has changed the nature of warfare and how it's played out.
Even though I said that I enjoyed Heavy Object, I can't deny that the sto…

I know we’ve all made fun of light novel names over the years, but I don’t think anyone could have figured that one of the very few short ones would end up being the most reliable goldmine in terms of naming humor in quite a while. Within an hour of its airing, most people I pay attention to kept making hilari-dumb tweets such as “dropping Heavy Object because I don’t even lift” and “not even bothering to pick Heavy Object up because it looks too big for me”, and it never ceased to be funny. One wonders why we didn’t come up with this joke before airing considering how obvious it is in retrospect. Guess we were too busy looking at the girls’ massive bosoms and connecting the unfortunate name to them.
Now I’m a guy who’ll watch anything as long as it looks interesting, regardless of qualit…

Heavy Object takes place in a distant future where the world has stopped using typical ways to fight wars. The weapons of choice in all combat are called Objects. Objects are machines of destruction that cannot be destroyed by military weaponry.
Humans who go up against objects are seen as suicide missions. That's exactly what Havia and Qwenthur are forced to do. Qwentur a student who wishes to be a designer of Objects and Havia a rich noble who just happens to be in the service. They are put to the test.
The story itself is just one major battle after another to fight for their country. The four main characters we see the most are Qwenthur, Havia, Milianda Britani (aka Princess) and Froletya.
For those who love to see giant robot fights. This is a bit of a curve ball. Objects are no…

Heavy Object
Let's call this in short. Heavy Objects is about giant balls with guns hammering each other. Interesting, right? Well I could have liked it more. The main problem I can come up with is the fact that it adapts the first parts of the novel by the same name. I know little about the novel, but judging by the story progression in this long 24 episode anime...... well sufficed to say is that the story is not as fast paced as the action. Actually it never really develops more than the very rudimentary basics of storytelling. At some points of the anime I was geniuntly confused about it's target audience.
Premise 2/3
The premise is sort of really vital to me. And as usual the possibilities it gives is what makes me start following the anime. Heavy Object is no exception. It introduc…

heavy object is a tactical action war between a smart lucky normal human being vs a highly modern advance giant tank that keep you entertain with the way the main mc(a normal enginere student) fight (most of the time is being forced) a giant advance tank(that can easily wipe entire army) with his partners( a same normal human being soldier and an old gen heavy object with cute girl as the pilot)
each episode delivered with a nice story progress and good character progress, each protagonist character has it's own purpose and not being a hinder to other protagonist progress and each developed in good way, and of course the reason i like this anime is how acceptable the way the mc figh the heavy object it self ,he is not a superhuman, and only use his smartness and luck.

I completely got the wrong idea when I read the synopsis probably because I read it wrong so I'll write a mini one of my own. Basically there are giant balls that can kick ass and have a bunch of cannons and can withstand atomic bombs. Then there's Qwenther and Havia who outsmart them and become famous and the whole story is just them figuring out the weaknesses and beating everyone else. Of course you have to have the teenagers be the ones beating everyone up though because that's the law of mecha. Even the commander is only 18 -_- not saying there's anything wrong it's just so cliche...
Art- It was pretty average
Sound- I liked some of the sound tracks and the voice actors were nice too
Character- They do a good job with the characters and it's entertaining watching Qwenther always a…

Heavy Object. Almost looked like an Apocalypse show to me, but not really. The concept of the action is "Object". Now, what is Object. Object is an Amazing weapon which people use in War. So let me fix it again, The concept of the action is War, Strategy and Object. Why is Object considered as Amazing Weapon even Nuclear bomb can't even destroyed it ? Object looks like a Ball. A big ball with a high quality of Steel as it's Skin. and it's not only 1 layer of steel. 10 or more layers if i'm not wrong. Because of Object, Now people made a different way to War. Basically it's just an Object VS Object without any flesh soldier on the field, and if one of the Object can't move anymore, That will be the end of the War. Pretty Simple, but that's what people imagine it would be. In reality, or mor…

War. When it comes to war, the general idea that comes to mind is two opposing sides battling each other for domination in some way shape or form. Many forms of media and real life have bounced off this idea with things like psychological war, cold war, and just straight up war. And so, with JC staff's 2-cour adaptation of Heavy Object, we have war between gigantic balls with guns attached to them. Oh boy...
Side Note: If I misspell the names, don't flame me. Kamachi has weird names, and there're different spellings everywhere. Funimation spells it one way, wikis and other sources spell it another, you get the gist of it.
Story: As the world has gone through drastic changes in the world of Heavy Object. Due to the introduction of a new war machine called 'Objects', gigantic nuclear power…

Quiz time! What's the most important element of a good war story?
a) The gripping character drama as relatable characters are forced into dangerous situations
b) The moral ambiguity of the conflict (good people having to do bad things)
c) The themes of loss, both of life and of innocence, on the battlefield
d) The tits and ass of the 14 year-old mecha pilot
If you answered D, congratulations! You might be a future light novel writer.
Every season of anime has one show that is so awful it can't even be enjoyed for its failings anymore. This season, one of the candidates for that prestigious wooden spoon falls to Heavy Object, a series based off a light novel (alarm bells ringing yet?) by the notoriously anal-retentive Kazuma Kamachi. While it isn't the absolute worst the season has produc…

LA at first was excited at this anime, being a light novel adaptation by Kazuma Kamachi (the creator of the To Aru Index franchise), however from the first impressions of this anime, it gave off a huge amount of exposition about the world of Objects and that was about it for about 3 episodes or so, it wasn't until it got to it's episodic arcs where it really got interesting.
The episodic arcs from episode 4 onwards changed as the arcs showed us not only world building of the world of Objects but through how the Objects are used by differing nations either wanting materials to straight up want a dog fight with the main cast's Object and with Qwenthur and Havia helping just that one step and heck even they (obviously) move the plot forward to ensuring Milinda wins the battle with their live…

It’s a bird, it’s a plane, no it’s an Object! When you throw an armored machine with unimaginable technology into war, these bad boys are supposed to be the ultimate ace in the hole. They can apparently turn tides in modern warfare. Objects are supposed to revered and feared on the battlefield. Then, we are introduced to two boys - Qwenthur and Havia. These two are able to actually defeat a heavy object with their reckless strategies and thus their daily military misadventure begins in this unorthodox sci-fi show.
Adapted from the light novel of the same name, some viewers may be familiar with the origins of this series already. It’s created by Kazuma Kamchi, the brainchild of Toaru Majutsu no Index. With 10 volumes released, the anime adaptation covers a 2-cour of 24 episodes. As as sci-…
