As we developed otaku tendencies, I leaned heavily into mecha. When the Double X was introduced it just clicked. Like I said, shame it got cancelled. I would have loved ten more episodes featuring the upgrades and bamfs like Jamil and Lancecrow.

Ratings were only what they were because the shows time slot was changed multiple times. Yes the ratings weren't exactly great but it was moved from a regular Friday afternoon slot, a comfortable one for ratings that G and Wing had enjoyed before it, to later and later times. Eventually it was instead aired at a ridiculously early Sunday morning time slot. The ratings were pretty much much dead after that and then the production staff started bailing out one by one

It's pretty sad too. It's a fantastic 'what if' take on the Universal Century and I always liked it. It's a shame that universe doesn't get as much love as the others either.
