Summary:
The main story develops its characters carefully, and is the shadow or "unusual" events of the protagonist's life. These stories feature the mercenary group Mithril, their mobile base/submarine, called the TDD-1 Tuatha De Danaan, giant humanoid powered suits called Arm Slaves, and the various missions to which Sousuke Sagara is assigned. A highlight of the series is a serious and semi-realistic view of humanoid robotic weapons on the battlefield. The Arm Slave has significant consideration in its portrayal, with explanations given for its power source, operations, maintenance and pilot user interface. The existence of such advanced weaponry and equipment is explained through Black Technology.
Where to start?
Possibly my favourite anime and most definitely the greatest anime I have seen in a long time. The mixture of action and comedy is just perfect. I've watched ALOT of anime, and this one was just a cut above the rest. Everything about the series screams amazing, the storyline, the characters, everything. Do I recommend it? Hell yeah! Sousuke and Chidori's relationship was brilliant. I literally could not stop watching. Roll on season 2.
