It has solid writing, nice designs and some great acting (Hiroya Matsumoto did an amazing job as Tsubasa, for example), but it isn't as special as it could have been.

Tsubasa is awesome, I'll give you that. The mechs are cool. Their broom-cycles are incredibly ridiculous, and therefore, incredibly awesome.

But you're right -- the show doesn't forge much new ground for the franchise (unless you count all of Mandora Boy's awkward musical numbers for babies, which I prefer not to think about). I feel like I've seen everything it attempts done much better in other series.
