Worth getting

** some spoilers **


A really likable mecha sci-fi series masquerading as a fantasy. It does take a little while to warm up to Pacifica, but once you realize where she's come from and her possible fate, you warm up to her.

Interestingly it's similar in some ways to Megazone 23 (I need to re-watch Megazone 23 to see if the similarities are just superficial).

It's pretty melancholy, though not as melancholy as Haibane Renmei. By the end it's obvious that just because you win it doesn't mean everything worked out.

9/10
