When I first saw this show on Netflix, I avoided it because, even though I'm a giant anime fan, I've never watched a mecha anime before because it seemed boring. When I first started it, it was a little slow and I didn't know how good the story would be, but as I continued watching, the better it became. This was the first mecha anime I watched and really enjoyed. I definitely recommend watching this. The only thing that annoyed me was the ending, I mean it was sweet but didn't meet my expectations (but that's just my opinion, I'm sure others really lovedit.).
