What a pleasant surprise!

Yes, really that is. I liked it after a few seconds.
E.g. in ep#1 at 00:33 Ariadne can be seen in close-up.
"Verschlimmbesserung" (Improvement for the worse) is written on her
forehead. In one word, this is the typical German way of tackling
problems when other than pragmatic engineers are involved.
It may be a description of Ariadne's character.
At 1:31 a kind of on-the-fly delivery service occurs. It is called the "Pechvogel Express" (misadventurer express).
The writers of this show have a very nice way of using the German
language. Looks as they know, what they are doing. I like it.
I watched a couple of episodes in slow motion to get all of these
subtleties.
The series is of high quality and very detailed in the pictures. It
is also full of innuendos. For example, if you can look between
Ariadne's legs, but there is nothing special to see, because she is a
robot.

I'll add a few explanations here, which make the play on words easier
to understand.

The German word "Pechvogel" literally translated would mean "pitch
bird" in English. That is why it is used as the name for a flying
delivery service. At the same time, it also shows that the original
meanings of the words have been forgotten in the world in which the
anime is set.
