If you are looking for something else to watch with a bit of nostalgia animation to it, this one is for you.
Highly recommendable!

I do recommended this series.
This is one of those "Wrong place, right time, robots and mutants" type of series. There is plenty of action, but plenty of story as well. It's not for everyone, but people who love classic style anime will love this series. (show less)
