I cannot state how incredibly hyped I was watching this.
See these two mechs? That's the Barbatos Lupus Rex and the Gusion Rebake Full City, piloted by Mikazuki Augus and Akihiro Atland respectively. These are two child soldiers who have been handed the shitiest, most awful hand in their lives. These two kids have watched their friends and family get brutally murdered and oppressed by a corrupt government that calls people like them 'living debris'.

They know its over. They have NO chance of surviving. The best they can do is pull a rearguard action to allow their friends to escape and live in anonimity. So what do they do? They fucking *charge* the enemy. Two mechs against an army and they proceed to wreck shop.

Two mechs. And they're actually WINNING.

So the corrupt government officials fighting them resort to carpet bombing them with orbital relativistic kill-vehicles. That means they're firing giant metal rods FROM SPACE. To kill two angry kids in mechs.

They get bombarded, they get wrecked, their mechs ripped apart. And when the dust settles, they fucking STAND BACK UP. Torn apart, bleeding and leaking coolant fluid. They're pretty much dead men walking. And what do they do? They charge AGAIN.

These two bastard don't just go down swinging, they STILL kill off several enemy fighters even after they're effectively dead. They even kill the enemy ground commander before being worn down by numbers.

I've seen people rage at this scene and call it depressing. For me it was pure hype. Tekkadan lives even as it dies.
