The first ever manga I've ever saw was evangelion. I didn't exactly read it but still, first exposure to manga/anime. Fast forward a couple of years and I remember that thing, not knowing the name. So I google searched what I remember and after a while, I found it. So it was something I was looking forward to watching.
>Story was fine..ish. It was okay, just a normal monster of the week type deal with mechs involved. But the thing that really made it interesting is the way the story is kind of set. It slowly turns from an action-y mech series to soemthing that feels more psychological. Which is why this story is interesting. But the latter part is confusing, which does prevent it from being a really good story.
>Okay, this is an older-type of anime, so the art isn't like most so if you're one of those types who like gradient colors, this anime will slightly annoy you if you plan on watching it. But that doesn't mean the art style is bad, it's fairly good at least. If you can get past the old-style animation, which most usually do, the art is good.
>Sound; this is probably where I'll have more difficulty explaining. The whole sound effects and dub was good. A really good dub in fact. But the music is a bit harder for me to decide. It does good during the whole fight scenes and usually the emotional ones, but it doesn't really shine through just the average normal scenes.
>I know I may be getting some hate from this category but it's my opinion. I may change it after re watching it or something. Honestly, they aren't bad but they weren't good either. The main children were kinda cut-outs of tropes; the tsudere, the wimp, the calm one, the jock(sorta), and the sly one. They did do their roles really good actually. And the best part is how the characters are shown at various times, how they all are some how messed up in the head.
>Enjoyment; I really liked it. It was me rediscovering an series that I probably would have never tried out if I didn't see it when I was younger and not even in to anime. I didn't care about the dated animation or even the moments where shinji was...shinji. But I enjoyed it, though the ending was really off. Either way it was a fine and not a waste of time.
> Verdict; it's good. Okay to see if you decide to watch a mech series and then some. Nothing too over-the-top compared to today's standards in the music/art but still good none the less.
But that's my opinion and this is my first review, so feel free to Caps at me if you feel like I was totally wrong in my review.
