Art: 7/10. The artwork is pretty good. Since Im more used to work from visual novels the score is lower here. The art possessed several qualities from the last series I watched from Gainax, FLCL, with some enhanced modifications. The artwork definitely captures the heart of the story and the show. While there were some scene that were breath-taking, There were a few areas where the art dropped a bit. But the technique seems up-to-date in almost all aspects.
Sound: 10/10. What I consider a great strength in the show the music was fairly captivating. It seemed to put you in the right mood while watching. It takes the scene and enhances the emotions to leave a more lasting impression for the viewers.
Character: 9/10: Another great strength of the series. I am a sucker when it comes to characters with idealistic dreams and goals. But, the characters also seem to reflect other questions and morals that dig deep into your emotions and has you consider them.
Enjoyment: 10/10. I simply loved this show from start to finish. I have marked it as my favorite mecha anime of all time. I have recommended it to almost all the watchers I know. And I still enjoy rewatching my favorite episodes from time to time, and enjoyed as much as when I first downloaded it.
Overall: 9/10~10/10. One of my favorites from Gainax. What I see as a truely a masterpiece of the decade, and probably one of my top choices of Anime of 2007. I will always be a GAR head and a great fan of the series.
