Xabungle is a Tomino mecha anime that is fully light hearted, it does not take itself seriously. This is a good thing and makes it very enjoyable. There are roots to concepts seen in more serious Tomino mecha anime - like Zeta Gundam - within Xabungle, and the same beats are hit... but while this normally causes the show to feel repetitive if you've seen other mecha works of Tomino, Xabungle is different enough that it doesn't suffer at all from this. I've seen a lot of Tomino mecha anime and while almost all of them are good, they do hit on the same characterization,the same themes, the same dynamics, the same plots... and for shows like Gundam, Dunbine, and Ideon, which are more serious, it becomes necessary to take a break before starting - or else you'll get deja vu every other episode. Xabungle covers up this deja vu with a different tone and every episode you end up having fun with.

I'm giving Xabungle a '9' and L-Gaim a '9' because both of these shows break from Tomino's formula and prove more engaging because of their humorous characterization. However, Xabungle is far sillier. Tomino's other serious shows are just as enjoyable but they don't stick out as much, which can be unfortunate.
