I never knew, and I'm not sure the people making it did, either.

There was never any forward momentum in this show. Rescuing your parents? Eh, we'll get to it. It never seemed to bother them much before or after. Defeating Messiah? Nope, that seemed like one of those things they'd get around to someday? Rescuing Jin? Rolled out in one episode, ignored the very next so we could have Pink Buster doing high kicks for maximum upskirt shots.

Kinda hard to invest in anything when the people making the show don't seem terribly invested in it either.

Pretty much what I wanted to say beside adding in that I couldn't get behind the main cast. I just found them boring and maybe the kids did too. I also found the mecha battles boring. Yeah they were better choreographed but, fighting against a dull machine gets old.
