One thing I've been seeing on most forums - and something I tepidly agree with - is that Metallic Rouge suffers immensely from Lost in Medias Res. The whole Alethia and Ochrona thing literally didn't make sense to me personally until I read the Wiki page on the anime, and they throw the terms around a lot without ever really going into detail with who they are and what they do.
This issue pervades pretty much every discussion of Metallic Rouge on an episode-by-episode basis because things end up feeling very rushed through at times. Ironically, most forums seem to agree episode 2 was the best purely because it took its time explaining the Visitors and Usurpers.
That being said, I'm not sure if Lost in Medias Res is a trope you can just slap down, even in YMMV, because I know some works require they be out for six months before adding some tropes.
Thoughts? Would I be able to put it down? Are there vehement disagreements even if I could put it down? I'm all ears.
