Gasaraki is a bit like an X-Files episode, in the sense that you have military conspiracies wrapped up with paranormal phenomena. It starts slow, but picks up speed as it goes on. Unfortunately, the ending kind of falls apart. They do a fine job of wrapping up the political/economic conspiracy plot thread, but the others (particularly the one involving Yushiro's sister) are overly rushed and left me scratching my head. In the end, I'd say plot took precedence over character, as most of the characters were not very vivid. Although the series gets good technical marks, I wasn't terribly impressed with it overall. But then, I admit that mecha is not really my thing--and this isn't even a very "hard" mecha series. I did like the music. Bottom line: Worth a look, especially if you're into mecha. But don't expect nonstop action. Last updated Tuesday, March 01 2005. | ||||||||

I wouldn't say avoid it completely but I had to watch the blasted thing three times to actually keep my attension on what's going on in this extremely dire anime, coz before my mind went off and I started thinking about other stuff. The third time I did watch this I must say it was quite interesting and was actually quite good, but what I had to endure before that was maybe not worth it. The mechas in this are basic looking but the way they are animated is really good but the animation drops way down as all the characters are soooo plain, and uninteresting. For a good mecha with a deep story i recommend Patlabor instead. Last updated Thursday, October 14 2004. | ||||||||

this is a great anime they take a risky twist to the mech idea and in my opionion it is the best mech out there it's like Tom Clancy wrights gundam. I love it. Excellent characters and intrigueing pasts they take a while to develop this story but don't give up on it. It really is worth the time. The end suprised me in that I was expecting it to be darker but still very well done Not for those that don't like political intruige or Charater development. If you just want action and romance you will probably find this too slow but I loved it and strongly recomend it. Possiblly one of the most underrated animes out there.

This has the potential to be a great anime, but one MUST pay attention! I myself have only see the first 3 dvds, and I have to say it was hard to understand. I assume its because they throw so much information at you all at once, and your left with a o_O expression. But no worries, it really is a good anime. However, my advice would be to watch it twice. ^_^ I hope to see more soon; I am anxious to see how it turns out... And on a side note I will remain unevaluated until I see the rest.

Gasaraki is the ultimate cure for insomnia. The art and music were "OK", but I really thought that the plot could use a little more spice. Much of the anime is politics. Avoid at all costs unless you enjoy watching a bunch of ugly guys sipping coffee and discussing the country's current affairs!!

I have only seen the first four dvds in this series, but so far it is very VERY good! And seems to get better with each show! It is clean, but I wouldn't watch it with little kides cuse they will not understand any of it! The charaters and the plot is very griping and I love the brother sister relationship they have in it! BUY THIS! IT IS WORTH WATCHING OVER!<--(on top of that you may have to watch it twice to understand everything!)

You could watch it but then you put yourself at risk of seeing another Gundam'esque anime slowly drain your awareness factor to the point of no return (until morning when the movie is long over and you have forgotten everything you saw) another result of too much anticipation and a good score mixed with a horrible storyline and no character development(a big minus in my book).
