Idols operating mechas, by itself, is fine. Everyone rejoiced to see the Arcadia segment in IM@S ep.15. The problem with Xenoglossia, at least from my PoV, is the scriptwriter saw it fit to put characters with pre-established backgrounds into an entirely different role and world, with little resemblance beyond names and visuals, which created extremely strong dissonance in viewers' mind. Which brings me back to Kancolle anime. We got characters that suffered from flanderization. Mechanics got twisted. They insert drama for drama sake. Other than characters and the use of some proper nouns, Kancolle anime bears no resemblance to Kancolle the game that I play.
