Short summary : In a world where people lives underground, Simon, a digger, finds a mysterious robot head. When he’s about to show his find to Kamina, a guy who dreams to go on the surface, a giant robot and a girl fighting against it fall down in Simon’s village.
Honestly, what can I say about this show ?
Best show of 2007, period.
I must confess that if I started to watch this show, it’s only because I saw some Yoko fanarts. ‘Cause actually, I hate mecha animes. But after watching the 3 first episodes straight, I could say one thing : before being a mecha anime, this show is firstly an awesome anime. Just like Escaflowne. It has mecha, but you just don’t think about it ’cause the show is just too fuckin great.
Also, Kamina : coolest male character I saw in my life.
Epic. You can summarize this show by this word. Dunno why, but the more it became “exaggerated”, the more it was exciting and great to watch. I truly enjoyed seeing the main characters becoming more and more powerful, and kicking everybody’s ass in some gigantic fights. And it got a great and “real” ending, so I’m fully satisfied with this show and, rather than feeling empty that it finished, I’m happy that I could see such a great show.
Yoko, the hot gunman. She is awesomely kick-ass. I would have never watched this show if I didn’t see so much fanarts of her. Well I didn’t know she was 14 though. XD
We shed manly tears.
Nia, the ultimate loveness, dubbed by the extremly graceful voice of Sarah Adiemus’s seiyuu (Yukari Fukui). The first encounter between Simon and Nia will be I think one of my favorite moments in anime history.
Obligatory beach episode. More Nia.
A short-haired Nia is fine too.
Darry, she was the #1 girl of the show for some episodes. She’s cool, serious, mature and totally rocks. Moreover, she’s dubbed by Shizuka Itou (Akiha-sama/Hinagiku).
Man, I should be ashamed for flooding this post with Nia fanservice, and for not taking more screenshots of the other characters or some of the awesome scenes. But really, the show was so captivating that I didn’t even think of taking screenshots…
A real man won’t die even if he’s killed.
