Can a suit of bioarmour be considered a mecha? In this case - probably yes!

This series is a rehash (or re-release) of a 12-episode 1989 OVA series with the same name. The animation is fair, but the story is strictly by the book, very formulaic and uninspiring. While I am not going to say anything good or bad about this series, I will admit that I only watched the first three episodes before I lost interest.

I posted some images from the first episode.
