At a first glance, one will be tempted into underestimating this series. Don't make that mistake; give the show a chance. It started slow but get through the first 5 episodes and you won't regret it.
The show started with weird characters only for them to really develop and envelop onto something new we never believed they would. The storyline begins plain and simple making you believe this show is not unique but continue to the end, and you will ponder on why there is no season 2. The animation is superb and high quality as well. What I like about this anime is that it will fool you with a cliche storyline only to evolve with a total different plot twist that we never expected. The ending will leave you in tears wanting for more. You realize that even though the show begins with a cliche, unoriginal and nothing unique plot at first, the tone over time changes into a darker tone and ends on a high note earning this show its own place among the many mecha animes.
