Story: 10/10
It's hard to talk about the story without giving away spoilers, so i'll try to cover this as basic as I can. The story is really special. It'll take you on a journey, the growth and evolution of the species known as man kind. By the end of the anime, the characters have undergone so much growth, it's like their totally different people. The amount of emotion in this anime is out standing, it lives on it emotion. The emotion is what powers the anime, the growth, its what makes it so great. Anyone who has watched this anime knows what i'm referring to. Personally, this anime left me feeling changed.
Art: 8/10
The art in this anime is good. It's really detailed during action scenes! But, with that being said, there are certain times when the animation does seem a little poor. Just minor moments with characters, it'll lack detail.Nothing drastic at all. It seems to me as if the animation got better as the anime went on, but that's just my opinion.
Sound: 9/10
The sound speaks for itself, there's nothing to be said here really. The theme song is enjoyable, the music within the anime itself was good as well. I have no complaints about the music. That also goes for voice actors, they were all perfect too.
Enjoyment: 9/10
This anime was extremely enjoyable. It made me feel every emotion at lease once. It was really well planned out, a lot of work must have went into it to make it as good as it is. The only complaint I have is that the anime doesn't show its outstanding potential in the earlier episodes. Don't get me wrong, they were really good! But for me, I just thought it was a typical "good mecha" up until a certain point, then my opinion changed. It didn't get on the road to "outstanding" until around episode 10-12. Once again, this is just how I felt personally.
Overall, I'm obviously going to have to give it a 10/10! I don't like giving out 10's to anime's so loosely, but this anime definitely deserves it. You really thing i'd give it anything below? Who the hell do you think I am!?
Cheers, hope this helps.
