In two words, wasted potential. This show has an interesting world and fun fights, but failed to truly develop the characters and story in favor of a lesson-of-the day (90% of the time that lesson is teamwork or confidence) episode format. Every episode starts by presenting a character flaw or emotional challenge for the heroes. As they struggle and fail, an alarm sounds, interrupting their efforts with an incoming attack. Coincidentally, the enemy is uniquely designed to be unbeatable based upon the specific challenge shown earlier in the episode. After a few fight scenes, one character will have an epiphany allowing the team to discover
...
how to launch an attack that will destroy the enemy.
The true flaw in the show is that the characters promptly forget all of the lessons they have learned by the next episode. It is a bit hard to believe that after 20+ episodes learning the importance of teamwork, trust, friendship and overcoming jealousy, the characters still act as if they are unloved and alone.
Further, the sudden enemy attack often interrupts what was an interesting story of character development. Had the writers abandoned the episode formula and allowed a story to develop over 2-3 episodes, then this show could have had a compelling story and character to complement its action scenes. As is, it is disjointed.
Watch episodes 1-3, 5, 12-13 and 19-26 and you can get the whole story while saving a bunch of time.
