I found about this as it was compared to Evangelion (predating it by almost a decade)! With it's giant Robots, world conquest plot, emotional teenage pilots, and even visual similarities in HQs.
And while the art/animation are great (as most anything from that time) and it has some interesting ideas.. the four 20+ minute episodes don't leave a lot of space for character exploration or proper world building. The ending is not particularly satisfactory either! And while I enjoyed it, there's nothing very memorable about it all aside from a few robot designs, the overpowered and underused dimensional coupler system, and a twist that could have been SO much better if done correctly in a more chess-like game between factions (like Code Geass aspired to create).
It is good enough still to watch nowadays, but one cannot escape from its hollowness and short running time (which in this case could be seen as a positive).
