YMMV / Comet Lucifer

• Ass Pull: You know that nondescript officer lady that's been hanging around the Councillor? She killed Do Mon and is actually Black Moura, the Big Bad that wasn't even foreshadowed before the halfway point of the series.
• Memetic Mutation: The scene in which Malvina holds off a group of enemy mecha with weapons concealed inside baked goods - most notably, a shotgun hidden in a baguette◊ — was by far the most popular in the whole anime.
• Poor Man's Substitute: One of the reviewers for the preview guide on ANN called the show this compared to Eureka Seven.
• So Okay, It's Average: People say there are better mecha shows out there like Eureka Seven and Neon Genesis Evangelion.
• Wangst: Gus in episodes 8 and 9.The flashbacks of Sogo's angry outbursts are well justified, ie, he's at most 10 years old, has just had his mother murdered, is in the "anger" phase of his grief, and is forced to live with his mother's bodyguard who failed to protect her and whom he instinctively does not like or trust. Gus, on the other hand, is not only a fully grown man, but he's a hardened war veteran. Him crying out "How dare you retire and leave me all alone?!" is truly out of place. Especially as Do Mon retired years before the current story line.
