this was a 50 episode rollercoaster ride of love and hate, and there were times that i had tears in my eyes, either that of hope and glee, or sadness. even being weeks later from finishing this anime, i am still left sort of bittersweet from it, and this feeling was way stronger and actually made me depressed and stressed out about the ending.
i won't spoil anything, because i'm not allowed to, but if you dare to watch this all the way through, get ready to be at least unsatisfied by how it ends, yet, there is hope, since there is a sequel that
...
will butcher your emotions even further, but at least will compensate the ending of the original series.
more or less, i am not a big fan of mecha based series, i have little interest in robots, but this story is very character driven i'd say, and so if air surfing robot fighting isn't really alluring to you, know that the main underline of this is hope and love and friendship and prevailing against impossible odds.
there will be times where you are confused, but most of everything gets explained eventually, just be patient and try to view things as simply as possible until the bigger picture unravels.
overall, this anime isn't perfect, but it's great and i'd recommend it to anyone who can tolerate robot things and the weird premise of surfing in the sky, because other than any minor qualms you may have, you must admit despite some level of cheesiness, there is a lot of emotion to be found within the depths of this anime, and it can be powerful.
