Im very confused with this anime. I dont know how I can recommend it, but lets start like this. For fans of mechs. For fans of epic fights, fearless characters and achieving impossible things, this may be a spectacular show.
For me though... well I can say I am not amused. Lets start with this. From what I see the anime is divided into three parts. First part being from episode one to episode fifteen. I can say I enjoyed this part. It was fun, it wasnt burdening at all, the characters were silly but funny. There were many flaws but the fact that actually a
...
character died was a big plus for a story like that. Overall I could give this part 7/10. Fun to watch, not burdening, mechs. Overall worth watching. The second part being from episode seventeen to episode twenty two (skipping episode sixteen as it is recap). The secont part went deeper. The characters grew up, got families. They were faced at problems much more complicated than simple fighting. The reason behind everything was revealed and the bigger picture became clear. Overall the story grew up. It became simply awesome and I thought to myself "Wow. Well this is something. Such an awesome continuation". This part was simply epic and I would give it 8/10. Not because I didnt like it but simply because this is how I rate. 9/10 is incredible 10/10 is personal score so 8/10 for me who is not the greatest mech fan is as far as I can go. But after this... oh boy the things that happened next. Part three, as I divide them, from episode twenty three to the last one. This was the most ridiculous thing Ive ever seen. Every single logic they put before, every single physics or any law they showed working in this world was shattered. Nothing mattered anymore and they started spitting the words "spiral" and "anti-spiral" to excuse any bull crap they threw at the audience. Thing after thing they threw away anything they taught you in the previous episodes. And they were repeating the same thing over and over again. Our guys are becoming stronger, and stronger, and stronger, and stronger... over and over. And the reason was "because determination, power of will and spirals". Seriously? At the very end I was simply laughing begging them to stop. They were throwing galaxies at each other for F's sake! I just cant give it more than 4/10. It wasnt good for me. I didnt know what I was even watching towards the end.
Overall the animation was pretty good. I was happy with the style and the quality. The sound was awesome as well. The characters... well they were likable at times, annoying at other times and ridiculous, in the funny and in the bad way at times. Overall I cant say they were very good.
But how should I rate it when the quality fluctuates so much over the episodes? My final score I can say is affected by the fact that the ending was really bad. The ending is very important because this is how you make the point. This is where you make a recap of what really happened in your anime. And the ending episodes were simply saying "Screw everything. Let them throw galaxies at each other and make them fight with big drills because it was cool. Nobody cares about anything at this point anyways.". So my final score is 5/10. Watch it only if you are big fan of unimaginable fights, or huge fan of mechs. Otherwise the ending will disappoint you so much, that you will not be wanting to watch any anime anytime soon.
