As an aspiring animator I can tell you for one person to do all that it's no easy feat. So needless to say I felt the need to see it and well I really, really liked it.......... a lot. It's not an action story or anything like that. It's basicaly about two friends who become seperated and how they try to stay together dispite the distance that keeps them apart (although the mech battles are cool). Oh, and don't look for a happy ending either, this is probably why I liked it so much (I hate all that "and they lived happily ever" after crap, it makes me sick). The final scene is really well done, in my opinion. Definatly worth a watch.
