Buddy Complex is a mecha drama (with a hint of romance) series revolving on some ultra nerdy theories that will blow your mind. Well, that is if you are into that kinda thing, of course.
Have you watched Interstellar? Are you interested in quantum physics and its relation to the space-time continuum? If yes, then Buddy Complex is your series. It's a shining star in the vast void of space. I haven't heard of this up until three days ago. I watched Valvrave before actually watching Buddy Complex, so I was having a mecha anime streak, and Buddy Complex just stole my heart. It is by no means the greatest mecha anime of all time, but it just enough to give you chills and brain-f***s at the same time.
I really don't want to spoil the series for potential watchers, but as a fan of mecha, drama, and romance anime, this series is highly recommended. It might feel rushed, but I am certain that people will understand.
On a more serious note, this series needed more time. It obviously (for those who finished the series) needed more episodes for the projection and execution of the story—the unfolding of the story, per se. That way, it would actually feel "more" complete. In any case, that doesn't matter because it actually has a conclusion.

The story is not the best, but it has the potential to make you wet. Let's leave it at that to avoid spoilers.
The art is spectacular, and I am in love with the character designs! My favorite character is Hina, by the way. (for obvious reasons - lol)
Sound? It has your normal mecha anime sounds and music. Personally, it's so-so. But if we are going to talk about the voice actors and actresses? Well, I am a super fan of Hayami Saori, so I'm in love with Hina.
The characters can get very, very annoying at times, but it is all within normal expectations from a mecha drama.

If you are having a hard time finding a good mecha anime, and if you are a fan of Sunrise, then by all means, please watch Buddy Complex.
This series blew my mind, of course. I'm an ultra geek, after all.
My verdict: 8 out of 10
