Gunparade March is a disjointed series, equal parts mecha show and high school comedy. Most people are going to be looking more for one or the other, and will be annoyed at this genre fusion. I found myself actually enjoying this blend, for the most part I felt like the two sides helped each other more than hurt, though I did find that the second half appeared to pick a side much more than the first. This is an anime from 2003 so don’t expect much from the visuals, they were good enough but that’s about it. I liked all of the characters enough, withMai as a high point and Hayami as the weak point. The world is also interesting and I hope to find Gunparade Orchestra does more with it. This is a nice 6/10 slice of life show with some character and a mecha twist. Avoid if you don’t do romance.
