Don’t be turned off by the fact that this is just the first volume of four; none of them are even close to expensive. This is a great mecha/comedy with plenty of tense dramatic moments. The animation is somewhat old school, but the voice acting is great (especially Gawl), and the story keeps up a quick pace. This volume might leave you a little bit confused, but you’ll definitely want to see it through to the end.

Thanks for the links, hopefully this will get people interested.

I'm thinking a quiz would be in order, probably around mid-December (just so everyone who wants to participate has enough time), but other than bragging rights, I don't know what the prize should be.

Come on now, this DVD (the whole series, in fact) is one of the cheapest you'll find from an independent seller on Amazon. I got each disc for under $5. Hell, the shipping costs more than some sellers are charging per disc.
