The documentary-style narration and visuals made the series very unique, the characters were pretty likeable and i tend to forget sometimes that it's an anime.
The onlky sad part was the fighting: It's not because it lacked the thrill factor, but because of some pretty unbelivable elements: -elite pilots using a "weak" .50 cal gatling on armored targets. -exchanging shots in the open at relatively close range.(they not even made effort to seek cover) -the armors of the mechas were unbelivably though. Surviving RPGs, cannon shots without problems(We're talking about extremely light mechas with about 2 tons of mass!...it's almost impossible that they have that kind of armor) -overrated destructive ability of the sniper cannon(evenif it has the power of an old 105mm cannon...it's still a 40mm cannon). -special forces attacking without air support despite knowing that the enemy have one(and they have the option to request some heli support). Well i have problems with the mecha designs usability too, but it's still one of the closest thing you can consider as "real". I think it was a quite good show but not a totally outstanding one. |
