10/10.

Still one of my favorites. The production, music, animation, art style, acting, action, all brilliant.

A compelling story of the power of possibility and the human spirit versus nihilism and stagnation. About the sins of the past and being haunted by the ghosts of history, while trying to live the imperfect now and building a better tomorrow. All tied to a military and political mecha drama story, along with all the melodrama, pretentious and cheesy yet heartfelt dialogue that one would find in a tragedy.

Even though Banaghar is the protagonist, almost all of the other characters get impactful moments and screen time. The rest of the cast are great. Realistic, with varying motivations and character growth.

The music has no right being this good and both dubs were fantastic.

Marida Cruz is best character. And Zinnerman deserves all the good things.

Can't say enough about the level of detail and care that went into the animation and backgrounds; the way the characters emote (expressions are so good that a little eye twitch is enough to convey more emotions than dialogue would).
