This anime comes off a little generic. That being sad it also brings in some new creative ideas that I have yet to see before in a mecha series. I like the anime mostly because of the characters. Where the story lacks the characters pick up pieces. The main character is a different kind of protagonist, hes not your typical I must defeat the enemy to avenge his family type of mecha protagonist. Which is a major plus because that is over played in this genre. The biggest negative is the story, I can't really tell if its going anywhere or if it is ifit will be good or not. But this does not take away from the overall enjoyment I'm having while watching this.
If you want some mecha but nothing thats going to have you in tears then this is the anime for you.
