Art and animation is really enjoyable, combined with battle music can easily stun viewer. Manga is easily the best mecha comic you can read, and so Movie/TV series could become one of the best mecha production - Movie ended differently because it overtook manga release, that was understandable at that time(manga release was and still is painfully slow). BUT TV series never bothered with straightening it up, like they never gave a f*ck.
If i had to evaluate TV/Movie (they are the same thing, just different opening/ending) then yes its strong 7/10 cuz of cheap ass rip off (for my personal score 9 out of 10 for a 1-3 parts of movie).
Do not believe anime viewers only - go and read manga, its probably THE best mecha manga you can get.
