This was a tricky one. On the one hand, this did manage to efficiently handle procedural episodes and made the excellent decision to cast Yuki Kaji in a villain role. But unfortunately, this anime falls into the trap that a lot of anime airing in kid friendly slots make; their lead characters thought process is too immature to match their age. The lead character is in dire need of growing a pair and is frequently crippled by his lack of spine and not being able to make the tough decisions when he needs to. But at least this avoided the doom and gloom of Gundam.
