YMMV / Tenkuu Danzai Skelter+Heaven

• Adaptation Displacement: Much like with Mars of Destruction, the game the anime adapts isn't very well-known.
• Alternative Character Interpretation: Did the squid come to Earth to kill humanity or only decided to do so after being attacked?
• Awesome Music: Minori Chihara's "Naked Heart" plays over the intro, and is arguably the best thing about the anime.
• Broken Aesop: The squid alien says Humans Are Bastards and must be destroyed but Lin argues this is just one side of humanity and humanity has good in it. However, the actual story only shows the humans as doing horrible stuff such as creating Artificial Humans Child Soldiers and refusing to even tell the soldiers how long they will live. This combined with how their first instinct is to kill the squid before it has done anything makes the squid look right. Not helping how Lin immediately follows this by killing the squid.
• Designated Hero: The military considering they create Artificial Humans to be soldiers for them, are accused by the squid of being violent monsters (which they proceed to prove correct), and, in general, acting shady.
• Designated Villain: The squid, which doesn't really do anything at first (despite the protagonists being convinced that it is attacking the Earth), and only fights back when the protagonists attack it.
  • To be fair, the squid does say it wants to destroy humanity because it believes Humans Are Bastards. It's not clear if this was the squid's reason to come to Earth or only came to this conclusion after being attacked.
• Narm: It's difficult to take two of the girls' training sessions with their robots very seriously due to only a light clunk being made when one of the robot's arms collides with the other robot's arms.
• Special Effect Failure: Like Mars of Destruction, this OVA is filled with poor animation, but special mention goes to the CGI squid, which rarely ever moves.
