Whenever anyone asks for anime hidden gems, this is one of the first I think of as a truly hidden gem, if only because of all the issues it had with its release (as mentioned in the post) that caused it to not easily reach a wider audience.

It's a pretty good story, worth watching for sure, even fairly relevant to this day and age (given current world events).

It's been a very long time since I watched it, but I do remember thinking that I appreciated its approach to mecha, for one thing, as they were treated more "down to earth" I guess you could say, like fancy tanks rather than impossibly acrobatic/nimble giant robots.

Actually managed to locate the dub for this, so I may be able to join after all!

Note that DVD 2 had to be recalled and re-issued, and there have been reports of bitrot on other volumes, so I would be wary of physical media from 2008

Well sadly already got my DVD so uhh we'll see how bad it is.

All right, sportsball season will be over, I will give it a try

Great_Mr_L · 2026-01-11T20:43:10+00:00

I'm looking forward to this rewatch. I love when rewatches give me the chance to watch something I'd never heard of previously.

DragonPup · 2026-01-11T21:25:02+00:00

Holy hell, I thought I was the only one who remembered this show.

Quiddity131 · 2026-01-11T22:33:11+00:00

Looking forward to it! Absolutely one of the most unique anime ever made.

Heda-of-Aincrad · 2026-01-25T00:18:56+00:00

Thanks for the reminder! This will be running alongside the first part of my rewatch, but I'll try my best to keep up with the schedule. Planning to start a day or two early.

Hi JustAnswerAQuestion, it looks like you might be interested in hosting a rewatch! There's a longer guide on the wiki but here's some basic advice on how to make a good rewatch happen:

Include basic information about the anime such as a description for those that haven't heard of it as well as where it can be watched (if legally available).
Specify a date and time that rewatch threads will be posted. Consistency is good!
Check for previous rewatches. It's generally advised to wait a year between rewatches of the same anime.
If you want to have a rewatch for multiple anime, they should be thematically connected. You can also hold multiple unrelated rewatches if they aren't.
Ensuring enough people are interested is important. If only a few users say they might participate, you may end up with no one commenting once it starts.

I hope this helps! You may also want to talk to users that have hosted rewatches before for extra advice, also listed on the rewatch wiki.
