DVD Cover Reviewed by Supi

I really enjoyed this series. The opening and ending songs are really cool. I could listen to them all day. I also like the animation style. It’s a little bit different then most animes. Maybe it’s the shape of their noses, but the characters just look different. The story is well thought out too. It has everything you need. Fighting, love, fighting, big mechs, fighting, internal struggles, and guys with wings! It’s a great series and I would highly recommend it to anyone and everyone. I wouldn’t suggest the movie to everyone, as it’s kind of confusing and has nothing to do with the original story. But the series is good.
