The film is a loving homage to Gundam anime, with clear influences from the genre apparent throughout. The 80s vibe is aptly supported by the accompanying soundtrack, which enhances the overall experience and further immerses viewers in the world created by Herman.
Although the narrative is brief, it manages to convey captivating action that leaves a lasting impact. The battles between the robots are intense and exciting, maintaining a consistent level of engagement throughout the film’s duration.
