This series seemed a little muddled in what it was trying to do. It used many of the tropes of post Gundam mecha shows, but with no real idea what to say with them. As a result there were moments of great fun, but never soared to the heights of its more famous siblings. Personally, I think the show would have done better letting the silliness factor take charge more often than the action drama. My favorite episodes were definitely those which highlighted the soap opera aspects of the show and minimized the space opera. The lives and loves of the Southern Cross moments were aton of fun. The triple form of the Zor and the political in fights between bald bad human and dad general paled in comparison to watching Jeanne get "in your face" about winning a decisive battle for the sole purpose of buying a dress.

The character designs were good, but the mecha designs seemed kind of chunky and didn't quite work. I liked the Zor ship interiors and some of the other background stuff was cool too. Overall the design was a mixed bag in my eyes.

I started out loving the music but there came a point when it's constant recycling offered diminishing returns. I think you could fit all the background music used in the entire show into 20-30 minutes of content.

Overall, I'm an old school anime fan and don't regret buying the DVD and spending the time watching it. However, unless you're like me and love 80s anime, there's probably not enough here to recommend the show,
