If Gavv can keep the current momentum alive (I pray to the spandex deities every day that the quality won't nosedive after the pre-recorded chunk of episodes is over) it will take my number 1 spot currently held by Geats.

But Geats had its fair share of issues. Still overall better than Revice or Zero-One IMO although I liked watching those two as well. Especially Zero-One, I have a soft spot for that show.

Gotchard and Saber, well. They sure happened. And I was there when it did. Can’t say I enjoyed it much.

It was bold on the paper, but one half of the relationship being a bland piece of plastic character that only repeats the same phrase over and over again and the other, well, Hopper-1, kind of made me not care as much as I potentially could have.

Yeah. On the other hand, you reap what you sow. Shoma didn’t want to do this, the twins did.

But I do feel pity for them; they are a product of their environment. The scenes when they were kids were very sad, from their perspective it really did look like no one cared about them and Shoma had his mom and took away "their" dad to boot.

I really appreciate the imaginative scene of young Shoma eating cake with his siblings, because like him I wish that would’ve been real too.
