~Synopsis~

The Kingdom of Arandas Alliance and the Countries Unification of Ingelmia have been at war for many years.

The gate to the fortress has remained firmly closed, but when it creaks open, the complexity of war starts to change dramatically.

~My First Impression~

As a big fan of Mecha anime I was looking forward to this one, but it turned out quite a disappointment. I see no new elements in the story. We have seen the same pattern many times. The shape shifting Mecha, an emotional Mecha pilot suddenly getting hold of something awesome, cute girls, war, etc. Looking carefully at the character designs, one will feel like they are taken from other anime works as well. No good action, no good mecha, no good humor, and so far a predictable story. 

Animation: 8/10
Sound: 5/10
Story Concept: 3/10
