I loved the design for Gao Gai Gar and his variations, I also like Ban Gaan....but then his super form was disgusting....

I have to say the aesthetic used in a super-robot show is quite different from the aesthetic used in a real-robot show. I know both shows are equally impractical in real-life but in a real-robot show people expect some kind of design philosophy and realism in the design. Where as a super-robot show can be as ridiculous as it can be (lion on chest, and dolphins as shoulders) and no body would care.

I have to say that Okawara might or should stick with super-robot stuff if Extreme Gundam is any indication of his recent abilities.
