just finished this one.
i usually try to avoid Mecha but saw the name of this anime popping up so many times ...
it took me like two weeks just to watch the first ~8 episodes cause it was so annoying and crappy, i was about to drop it :/
luckily things started to get really interesting and what can i say it was a real enjoyment to watch.
In the distant future, people build their homes and raise domestic animals in subterranean caverns. As a result, they live in fear of the occasional earthquake and cave-in, and have been for hundreds of years. Jeeha is one such village.
One day, a boy named Simon happens to find a small, shiny drill whilst digging to expand the village. At the same time, Kamina, a guy who believes that there is another land above the village, persuades a gangster to break through the ceiling in order to leave the cavern. Suddenly, an earthquake occurs and the ceiling collapses, followed by a big robot breaking through the ceiling.
Kamina is now sure that there is a world above them. Recklessly, he begins to fight against the robot. At that moment, another person appears from the land above. It is a girl by the name of Yoko. With a rifle in hand, she had been tracking the robot. However, all she could do was distract it. Then, Simon shows what he had found to Kamina and Yoko. It's a mysterious robot whose head is also its body.
yeh it has goofy designs and speeches, a wacky and insane but very interesting story.

well I'll warn you beforehand the show is aimed at young boys so expect a great amount of corniness, silliness, goofiness etc.
using your rating system, i would give it a 7 ;p
