4 out of 5 stars

This is a new series i have started to watch. I have only seen the first disc so far but it is turning out pretty good as of yet. It has a very Evangelion feel to it which is good, but it lacks the whiney Shinji like character. It might best be described as a good mix between Eva and Dual. it is just a bit more serios than Dual was. It does involve giant robots and us fighting an invading alien race called the “Mu”. As i said the main character, Ayato, lacks the spinelessness of Shinji; he is just a pacifist (or at least that is may take after the first 5 episodes). the only reason i gave this series a 4 and not a 5 is that i have only seen the first disc whis is a good buy at $20 for 5 episodes. and it is well drawn too, it seems to have a Lain like quality of animation (though i have not watched Lain is a while so i may be mistaken).
