@Bankaibender, роботы в виде идолов девочек это именно пародия на айдолмастер

Koyama: Yeah. At the design meeting, it was Imaishi that offered up, “Well, it’s Nishigori’s anime, so the designs shouldn’t be normal. Maybe something like giant beautiful women.” I thought it was a fun idea, but instead of beautiful women, I thought — why not cute girls? But with this idea as our pivotal point, we might lose the meaning of being a robot anime. That’s when Nishigori thought about what it meant to make a robot anime. The idea of the main character piloting his mech is similar to magical girl shows having transformation scenes. So what was Nishigori’s “transformation scene” going to be? Well, he thought about it and came up with the idea of these boys and girls being idols (laughs). And who better than Nishigori who already has experience with idols. With that, I asked Nishigori to draw up five idols that I then turned into robots (laughs).
