One of the reasons I was such a fan was because of the writing - for once you didn't have writers trying to go through translated Japanese scripts and episodes trying to fit their chopped up Americanized story in to the Japanese footage. Instead they just shot their own footage, abandoned the silly concepts (Engine Soul for Engine Cell), and really made you feel like you were watching a show about a special group of individuals who have the ability to transform in to "super heroes" to try and save the last bit of civilization.

The backstories of Ziggy (mob), Scott (never had father's full affection), Summer (former rich snob), Flynn (dreamed of being a super hero), even Gem & Gemma and Doc K (Alphabet Soup prisoners since childhood) ... just really fleshed out the characters because once you knew their backstory, the way they acted made SO much sense.

And Shadow Puppets ... come on, that was awesome.
