Summary from AnimeNewsNetwork:In their closed-off underground village, Kamina and Simon chafe at the limits imposed by the village elder. Yet all this will change, when Simon stumbles across a fantastic device - just as the village's peace is broken by a violent intrusion.
My Impression:I'm not a big mecha fan, and I watched this initially because it's made by GAINAX and I kinda had a good impression of them (EVANGELION and KareKano), so I tried it out.
Turns out that I became attracted to Kamina (voiced by Konishi Katsuyuki, now this voice/character combination is one of my favs). He's a funny (?) character and Konitan does it perfectly (like Keigo from Bleach XD). Other than that, I quite like the animation/drawing style used in this anime (I guess you could say chara-design?).
In general it keeps me entertained enough for me to go on watching, so I'd call it a not bad series. Episode 2 sees some character development (?) for Kamina, and Episode 3 shows you how idiotic... but right (??) he is... go check it out!! XD
