I still think the mecha is absolutely crap though. Shinken-Oh as a whole is an awesome design, but the individual mecha and all of the attachments are down right terrible looking. THe worst is when they combine with Shinken-Oh because the helmets look bad, but it is the backpacks that really make it look down right dreadful. Oh yeah, and those stupid fuzzy laughing things on Doukoku's ship are still absolutely pointless. What was Toei thinking?

With that said, we'll see if my opinion of Genta changes tomorrow as well.

I love Shinkenoh, it's definitely one of my favourite mecha designs and I don't hate the others, but I feel the awesome idea of origami mecha was completely missed after Shinkenoh.
Shinkenoh's components are the only mecha that actually resemble origami in any way, shape or form. They're also the only one's that actually fold rather then just come apart and fit on other parts, despite the fact that nearly every mecha after Shinkenoh is still called origami. I really wished that they had kept the origami theme throughout the mecha, because Shinkenoh is totally unique and awesome.
