I wanted to give it average results, I love the Gundam series but felt this series tried to copy too much of that formula to make it a success. However there were some original ideas in it that it could stand on it's own, however it's pretty much unheard of in the west. It would now be called dated even though it's animation was pretty much the standard for the time it was made, however being made after the success of Gundam took off it benefits from a better animation than the original Gundam. So it would be more fair to compare it to suchseries as Zeta Gundam and Fang of the Sun Dougram.
