Heavy Object


 This is one of those Light Novel adaptation that i recently watched which are mecha based. Heavy Object has quite some interesting concepts but questionable executions. The Setting of the series takes place in Modern period where conventional warfare are replaced by fights between Gigantic Weapons called Objects which are pretty much Metal Gear without Legs and slapped with tons of dakka on it. The story focus on two buddy soldiers Qwenthur and Havia who served as backup unit for an Object who then managed to distinguish themselves by destroying Objects as an infantry. Basically the main characters pulled feats like Solid Snake by defeating Gigantic Weapons that are impervious to modern weapons and usually require another Gigantic Weapon to be defeated. Heavy Object main selling point supposed to be how the main character relied on their Wits and Intellect to pull off impossible feat of destroying these Objects but since its writing are catered to teen audience, it feels like asspulls most of the time even if i feel the author did try their best efforts. Nevertheless it is still an entertaining watch and i mainly look at Frolaytia for some fanservice. As the Light Novel series is still going on, there is a possibility for a second season i suppose.
