The humor, while a little crude, is hilarious. The drama had me tearing up at a couple points. If you're already a fan of mecha, and aren't afraid of a good, humorous time, you will love this show.
Frankly the show defies description. It plays a lot of the usual "super robot" tropes pretty straight a lot of the time, what with evil aliens,
