I finished watching the series today and it was...well, not bad but not exactly outstanding either. the finale was exciting enough but it seemed to lack something i can't put my finger on. the animation was faultless, the mecha designs cool as heaven knows what and it started off well but the second half was a bit lacklustre until the last DVD. does anyone know if the Summer Special or second series get the plot back on track again? i really wanted to be able to say it was great but it seemed to run out of steam a little.
