The 4kids version is lame (the version reviewed), and the Japanese version is much more violent and "sexy". There is a lot of cleavage and a girl strips completely to turn invisible. All of this is edited by 4kids, and ultimately ruined it. Overall though, I didn't like either version that much but it is exciting.
Fine for tweens who aren't afraid to see a realistic battle.
The show is actually amazing! The violence though can get a little scary. One character is hurt so badly she goes in to a coma. And the fight with King Nene leaves them half dead. Many non-essential characters die. Other than that it's not that bad at all. It is extremely epic in more ways than one. I'll give a review on it soon at my blog when I'm done watching the series: myreadbooker.blogspot*
I think it is pretty good. The role models are a tad bit iffy. The violence is limited to hand to hand combat and robots getting sliced up. By the way, you can watch the edited version at *dubhappy*
