I struggled to get through this one, honestly. While I love the premise, the execution struggles to rise above mediocrity. Not surprisingly the final arc is interesting, getting there was quite the chore. The plot plods along at a leisurely pace and it was a little hard to get excited episode to episode.
Character designs are pretty NPC-looking, even for the main characters. The mecha overall is pretty well designed, though I never warmed up to the titular Galient.

I like Takahashi and how he actively seeks to make his creations plausible and palpable. It sometimes works, it sometimes doesn't.

Genres combined, high fantasy and sci-fi stitched into the fabric of a sword-and-sandal epic, creating a sense of fullness. Something lavish. A sense of scale, setting, space, and tangibility. A tapestry woven together from the scraps of many different influences. Some recognizable, others just on the tip of the tongue. A made-up culture that's deep-rooted in particulars of a far-off period. Fauna that adds domestic quality. All these attributes joggled simultaneously, the likes of which can be drastically altered in the absence of finesse. There's a culminated purposefulness to Panzer World Galient. A chemistry of fine-tuned planning stripped away of any additives that might dilute the formula. A formula that was unfortunately rushed, the unforeseen tampering of corporate mandate. The kin…
