Pretty entertaining, but the characters are pretty bland. They have motives, but no character - and most of them have the same motive of "I must protect her!" The setup was interesting and I wonder how it could possibly be a sequel to a mecha anime (haven't and probably won't watch the original). Seems like an artistic project that someone decided to do more-or-less just using the IP, didn't feel like I missed anything (besides why the girl's wrist is so weak - if that is because of the show, hopefully). Some good action, reminded me of "Dawn of the Dead" at times. No deep meaning beyond "never give up!"
One part had the cheesiest dialogue I've ever had the misfortune of hearing. Two of the team (Kernagul and Suegni) were fixing up a tram car and started getting sentimental since they might die the next day. You'd think they'd go into their pasts and you'd begin to feel connected to them, but it's almost like they were appealing to the viewers instead by them both talking about collecting model kits and how they used their trusty American Express Card. I lol'd to the heavens!
