The presentation for this anime is very good. Its full of surprising events, each with its own little subplot. There is no great main storyline, which makes the anime something you can watch over a period of time. I wasnt ever left with any 'edge of my seat', 'must watch next episode' feeling which is a nice break from the usual dramatic anime which sometimes i feel I have to watch all in a day. The presentation of the days events loosely follows a typical schoolday and evening and then interaction between the characters sometimes produces a deep thought but usually leaves you chuckling at their strange and humorous antics. This is mostly a watch-once anime as there isnt anything deep or significant you'd miss if you watched it only once. Its very light, and a very refreshing series.

The presentation of the characters, and the subtle presentation of their past really makes the whole series utterly captivating. You get to know each character, and their defining pasts. The series isnt what I'd call original in idea considering its another mecharobot anime, but there is a lot more to it than just that. Unlike Neon Genesis Evangelion, and Gundam Wing, the robot part of it is actually a lot more of an overtone instead of the mainstay of each episode. Usually the battles are brief and dont dominate the episodes. The humor in each episode is cute, its not side wrenching funny, but its good for a chuckle now and then. Its got some slightly innuendo based humor in it but its not forced. In fact the conversations and interactions with amongst the characters is fluid.

I cannot call this game original as it relies heavily on systems from previous Fire Emblem games however, the lack of originality has almost no impact on how fun it was to play. Military tactics are fun to ponder as the entire game is a series of war puzzles where you have to come out victorious. It reminded me of chess and indeed it felt like I was playing a very complicated and far more intense game of chess. You never know the enemies moves and those moves are tailored to your moves and tactics. It was great fun to try and outsmart the built in AI. Since the battles all have a different outcome depending on how you play, the replayability of the game is quite high. I’ve played it three times myself, using different tactics and getting better each time.
