This is, hands down, one of my favorite shows of all time, anime or no. It ties with "Ronin Warriors" as being my favorite anime of all time. The story itself is really great and, while we've probably all seen something similar, the way it's told is a ton of fun watching. I can also say this is probably one of the only times I have ever respected, if not liked, all of the characters in any show - even the villains, one of which I hate as a person, are a joy to watch as their interactions with the other characters illicit so many different reactions for me as the viewer. This is also the first anime I ever saw all the way through, and this time, I hadn't seen it for a couple of years because our family copy has been out of reach. When I found one I could afford myself, I leaped at the chance. I have shown this show to many people over the years, all of whom have loved it for one reason or another. It's only twelve episodes long, and while I wish sometimes it was a little longer, if only because I love the world and characters it built so much, I really appreciate the fact that there are hardly any "filler-ish" moments, if there are any at all. It's also incredibly detailed. I've seen it more than half a dozen times through the years, and I still notice something new every time I watch it. It is also one of the only animes I've seen where both the English dub and the Japanese sub are wonderful and make complete sense all on their own. The characters are slightly different in either one, but still fundamentally the same people. The main character in English is voiced by Vic Mignogna (He's sounds so young!) and the bickering he and the female lead ad-lib the entire time in the background is priceless, not to mention all of the other voice actors. I wish I could see more of some of them in other animes, like the voice actor for the blonde character, Ryo, because all of their deliveries were amazing.
Overall, this series is a joy to watch at all times, and, because it's so short, you can actually watch with someone else in one sitting it you're so inclined to do so. Some people didn't like the first few episodes compared to the last few because they are considerably more light hearted, it's true - I was (sort of) one of them at first, until the second time I watched the series and realized how essential they are the plot and character development, not to mention all of the details in them I hadn't noticed before. I will say, however, that even if you don't like them, the last few episodes more than make up for them, and the journey all together is a really wild, funny, tense, and awing one. "Generator Gawl" is one of those shows that will make you feel like someone punched you in the face, like your brain has been turned inside-out, and like you're an absolute idiot for not putting all of the pieces together before (I've never met anyone who was able to figure out ALL of them more quickly than doing so right before or as everything is being revealed). In short, the pacing, the story itself, and the characters are all amazingly handled. Every anime and show in general, I believe, should have as much thought put into it as this show. While the ending may seem a little awkward at first, the more you think about it, the more it seems perfect for the characters involved.
This is the perfect sci-fi story with a great deal of heorism in different ways, fantasy, and mystery about it, not to mention humor with a good wit, great tension building, and a true understanding of story telling. I 100% recommend this show not just to anime lovers, but to anyone that wants to watch something that will make them think, laugh, and possibly cry, all at the same time.
