In terms of story this anime is one that draws you in and does not let loose. The strength of this anime as I perceive it is related to the fact that it is able to represent a dystopian future with super powers and mechs in such a realistic way. As the story develops you find yourself truly invested both in the individual struggles of the different characters, and the struggle represented by the plot as a whole. The struggle isn't simple and straight forward, but rather complex. This is one of the few anime in which a viewer will truly struggle with the many characters' decisions morally because there is no clear correct decision. Definitely worth a watch.
The art is great, almost flawless in fact...
Characters are developed to extent that one can hardly believe, especially considering how long the series is.
The mood of the story is a serious and dark one, so prepare for an emotional roller coaster.
This is an anime for those looking for something dark and serious with a attention grabbing story and in depth character interaction. Just watch it at some point, you won't regret it!
