I feel like that battle was extremely forced by what needed to happen plot-wise, not what would have been logical.

That last attack of the Meijin against the twins´ main-mecha made me think "why didnt they just jump out of the way or dodge the attack any other way?!". Made no sense to me, having seen all those previous battles where everybody was evading laser gun shots with flashy maneuvers.

Speaking of which, why didnt Kawaguchi just rush into the enemy and overpower them? No, suddenly there´s this sniper laser beam that´s super deadly. Okay.

I enjoy this anime for what it is (and thanks to MILF-of-the-forever Rinko), but you definitely mustnt think to hard.
