Review -
This is a beautifully drawn anime with wonderful music. Now if you can ignore the fact that gigantic
robots that can appear out of nowhere, it is a fairly intense but short anime
with intimate scenes and enjoyable characters. While the characters are of high school
students, the contents of this anime are for a more adult nature. While there is comical moments, the dramatic
moments over powers the emotional play of the characters. Conflicts of caring for others, self and
desire, dark and light side of personality are the themes. I rather enjoyed this anime when the mecha
isn't the sole focus of but characters, their lives and interactions as well.
