 Buy the entire series! |
Technically any good? The story is solid and there is a really nice, strong arc that you can follow for the entire series. It's not perfect, and the show falls prey to the classic "what the hell?" kind of ending that a lot of anime suffers from. Still, the characters are well developed, the character and mecha designs are great, and while the animation isn't perfect, it's perfectly reasonable. The music is also awesome (and is probably my favorite of all of the music in the BGC universe). The acting is spot on and it's great that they cast a woman for Priss who sounds like the previous voice actors who have portrayed her.
How did it leave me feeling? Definitely satisfied, though as with all anime that ends with the "WTH?" ending, I do wish there was a bit more of a recap. Sadly, there's still no talk of a sequel series, despite the enduring cult following the BGC universe has around the world. Ah well.
Would you sit through it again? I'm SURE I will sit through this series again--this is actually the second time I've seen it and I still love it. It's so great to see female characters being heroic, daring and still feminine. Who said women were the weaker sex, never messed with the Knight Sabers.
