So far out of all the eva clones, this one looks to be pretty good. There were alot of moments which I could've cried "EVA CLONE ALERT! EVA CLONE ALERT!" But generally its quite entertaining. Fafner despite having the same "cloned" character designs from Gundam Seed (same whatshisname char designer), has a very "melodrama" feel to it. It seems to throw in random mythical/famous people's names into their military apparatus. Example, Welles Shield (Orson Welles?), Broomhilde System and etc. Don't know where does the word FAFNER comes from.
4-5th episode already one of the major characters has kicked the bucket, Rei II style. So like...hehe.....we'll see where this goes.
