Okay, now that we've got our Other Anime board, I intend on converting a few of y'all to my favorite shows. biggrin
Anyway, let's start with this one. In case you haven't heard about it, it's one of the many incredible mecha shows to come out of the 2006/2007 anime season. It also has a rather impressive pedigree, being directed by Goro Taneguchi (director of Scryed), written by Ichiro Okouchi (who worked with Taneguchi on Planetes), and featuring character designs by the legendary group CLAMP.
The show is rather different from your average anime - the main character isn't a quick-to-action, hot-blooded teenager. In fact, he's almost the direct opposite. He's a cool-headed strategist with a bit of a dark side who is a pretty bad pilot. His best friend is more of the traditional hero type, but he's got his own skeletons in the closet. Meanwhile, the female lead starts off looking like one of the "magic shojou" archetypes, but turns out to be bratty, mean, and pizza-obsessed.
I think the big reason I love this show is because, at least to me, it feels like they combined elements of Gundam Wing with the Count of Monte Cristo - and the end result is full of incredible awesome. If you don't mind things getting a little dark or depressing at times, then you should definitely give it a shot.
