Anyways, I remember Gaim being heavily praised when it came out for changing up the formula and being different.

Is that still true?

I've only seen a few seasons (Kiva, Drive, Ghost, Ex-Aid, Amazons, and I just started Geats) but it seems like everything that came after Gaim has stuck closer to the Gaim formula than anything else...meaning, Gaim no longer has one of the things that made it stand out so much in the first place. (Not to say it's bad now, just maybe not as unique anymore.)

I think Gaim is still pretty well liked - while it not being a series made entirely of 2-parters did get attention after 7 years of that, people also really liked the designs, the characters, and the show for what it was, not just because it was a break. I think time has cooled its position - I remember Gaim being the best thing ever when it aired, but now people are more willing to accept the flaws (and also less likely to reflexively hate on Wizard), but it still has a lot of fans.
