Better than DeathNote

The problems: needless gratuitous naked girl shower scenes and, particularly, needlessly gratuitous lesbian unrequited love situation. The ending is somewhat abrupt (failing to indicate the outcome of the major enemy offensive).

The good: good action, fairly excellent storyline (except for the whole lesbian soap-opera thing), excellent combat animation throughout most of the series.

Overall: this is an action scifi with manned space combat robots ("gunden") - much better than any similar I have seen. The robots are graceful. The plot is intelligent. I liked that the problems of time dilation is near light speed travel are taken into account.

I rate this a 7 because it definitely should be watched - but doesn't need to be watched more than once.
