I finally finished watching this interesting eight DVD anime series. I'm kind of overwhelmed - even though things got very confusing in the middle, I completely enjoyed the last few episodes. The tension builds so well, both through action sequences (we finally get to see a great mech battle, listening to radio communications on both sides) and philosophical commentary. It's amazing how the plot deals with the threat of war and how that threat can be stopped - how mankind can actually overcome adversity through peace. Of course, this is all in the context of a cartoon, but I found it very thought-provoking. The finale is entirely bizarre, and ultimately unsatisfying (like many anime series, I think), but overall, this is a fantastic series, and I'm glad I made it to the end!Labels: anime, dvds
