First I'd heard of it when I saw a link to the trailer. Looks like a lot of fun.
Except for the pilots controlling the robots remotely via virtual reality. It makes practical sense to do so for the safety of the pilots, but from a dramatic standpoint it just separates the characters from the stakes for me. Oh, your robot beat mine, darn. It just isn't as dramatic. Whenever it's been done in other shows/films, my interest plummets. Let's watch our heroes play video games, whee!
I'll still check it out, I think that one aspect probably won't ruin it altogether for me.
