Main guy is so cool. I love the tears as he jumps out the building. Just looks so cool. Cool ending. Man. Cool movie. Nice job. Maybe you can skip some exploding bodies and whatever but the exploding bodies are well executed. The cadets are pretty funny. Bitching at each other about their stupid low attack power scores. High attack power score people are cool. I guess I should watch the anime.
