First, I'd like to thank my friend, Juan, for introducing me to this series and making me watch it. It is really worth watching. Anyone would be blown away by what happens in the series. It is now my 3rd Most Favorite anime. I couldn't get to it for a while due to other things and other anime series. But I finally finished it, and I am now satisfied.

This series gives you a nice intro to the storyline of the series. For the first few episodes, you'll be hooked onto it for a while. But it does get boring for a few episodes. But once your reach episodes 7-8, your spirits will be rekindled for the series! That's not all. Around episodes 10-11, the series just rockets to the best of the best and goes beyond that! Though I am saying this stuff, I am not saying you should skip (DON"T YOU DARE SKIP ANY EPISODES). The series continues to get better and better till it reaches the end! This anime is guaranteed to have you addicted to it and wanting more! Any action, mecha anime fan would be satisfied with this anime series.

Basic Story:
Humans driven underground by the beastmen and are forced to reside there for what seems an eternity. The people had forgotten about the sky and lived very limited. Despite the despair, there are those who seek to reach the surface. That is where our tale begins.
