What can I say..True Masterpiece..Story is deep..characters well figured and made..music is addicting..Animation could be better but hey we are talking late 80's
early 90's anime here.I have to add that it reminds me of TTGL.Today's mecha anime that we watch are all washed up stories repeating on and on...
Do yourself a favor and watch Granzort.Like a breath of fresh air!
