This was a pretty enjoyable big robot show. The basic story was interesting and had some novel ideas which I found quite engaging. The big robot stuff featured an interesting blend of 3d and 2d animation, which can sometimes be a bit hit and miss but which looked quite nice in this. However the show seemed to be unsure of its tone which was all over the place throughout the length of the series, a more dedicated and concrete thematic tone would have elevated this from good to excellent. Nowhere was this more evident than at the end of the series as the ending seemed strangely out of keeping with the rest of the show (and was also vaguely confusing). I'd like to see it finished off properly in an OVA or film, as long as it didn’t go the route of the (truly awful) Nadesico movie. Well after checking ye olde internet it appears there is an OVA but it’s an alternate re-telling rather than an epilogue/conclusion. Oh well.
