Story: 10/10
The story is absolutely amazing. Ange starts off as a sheltered Princess and her evolution is ridiculous. This story covers her complete transformation into a badass, has tons of side arcs and character development, covering SO many deep emotional and philosophical topics. Everything you know about the universe changes... at least 3 times! The whole concept of the world and everyone's motivations are spun on their heads several times, I assure you that this story will suck you in and keep you on the edge of your seat the entire time. The pace starts off slow and ramps up and keeps on going until the very last minute. If you want a deep story that isn't afraid to get deep and emotional but also lighthearted and funny you will LOVE this. Also, if you want a story with a concrete and satisfying ending this will definitely give it to you.
Art: 10/10
It's fantastic. The mechs look amazing, the characters are diverse and done well. The color pallet is bright and full of life. Everything is unique and well thought through. As it was made fairly recently it has all of the polish you would expect from something this recent. One thing to keep in mind is it has some ecchi tendencies and shows women topless but without nipples... it is a bit weird but you get used to it.
Sound: 9/10
The sound is great. The fight scenes sound intense, the Endless Song is catchy and there are some nice duets in there. The OST is diverse and wonderful and you will find yourself humming along during some moments.
Character: 9/10
This is where the story truly shines. Ange transforms from a sheltered Princess into an absolute badass character. You find out so much about each character and their motivations evolve over time. The villain is logical and the good members of the cast who turn bad are all logical as well. Basically, every character has deep development and you understand their motivations. Also, the romance plots are not shallow... you truly feel for the characters and this anime isn't afraid to give characters logical romance scenes (if you're wondering why a romance anime can go a whole season without a kiss because of contrived "someone walks into the room" type scenarios this will be VERY refreshing).
Enjoyment: 10/10
This one is a blast. I enjoyed every episode and thought the pacing was excellent. Every aspect of this anime was above and beyond expectations and there isn't much more I would want from it.
Overall: 10/10
You should watch this. It has excellent mech scenes, gritty and dark moments and lighthearted and fun moments. It is deep, philosophical. The dialogue is well done and the characters are excellent. I can't think of anyone who wouldn't like this. Enjoy!
