Almost perfect T_T

As a romantic fangirl, i'm a total sucker for loyal male characters protecting a main female. This anime is almost perfect in that respect. The ending was conclusive, but not in the way i was hoping. Along the way there were plenty of romantic moments, even though it's not that kind of romance, since Sana is still just a little girl. For the first half Jo was too much of a supporting character, i cried for joy when he started to steal the show from Jin. Even though i'm the type who tends to root for the main girl no matter what kind of character she is, Sana initially annoyed me, partly because of the high-pitched girly voice too often used in anime. But i gradually warmed up to her, and found her genuinely cute, which is rare, since i'm more of a fan of cool females.

The story is very interesting, and halfway through there is a huge surprise, a twist i didn't expect, but i was rather glad it turned out that way. The battle scenes are never too long so i wasn't bored. I always appreciate mecha series which have a main non-warrior female among the main males instead of a lineup of only males. Those series are always more refreshing and exciting for me. Overall, i enjoyed this anime so much i finished it in a day :D
