Summary:
Plot Summary: Kyo, an avid swimmer tries his best to keep the high school swimming club going, which is pretty hard when he's the only member. Facing the prospect of the club being closed by the student council, he tries to enlist beautiful Misaki to act in a promo video, shot by his good friend Ryoko, in a bid to start a recruitment drive. She agrees but only if he pilots a mecha under the wing of Celebrum, a resistance organisation fighting to destroy Deutera Areas formed on Earth by the aliens Gards-orm. He agrees but finds it all strangely familiar as if he's done it before....
The summary for Zegapain gave me the impression of your typical hero pilots a robot to save everybody. While cliche, I wanted to give Zegapain a try and see.
I am glad that I did. The summary is not the real story but more like the first episode and after that this anime begins to take off. I liked the fact that we get to twist on the story line and wonder about things as the story moves.
The action is pretty good and reasonably paced and the love story subplot has some interesting twists to it as well.

On the surface this anime will seem like any other giant robot fighting the bad guys....but I found more depth and a greater feel to the characters with some seriousness that was refreshing.
