Questionable Content:
There's a lot of ecchi stuff, but no actual pornography or anything like that. Pretty much SFW.

Plot Summary:
In a post-apocalyptic future, mankind lives in underground villages. Simon is the best digger in one of these villages, and Kamina is his Aniki who dreams of one day going to the surface. One day Simon finds a small mecha while digging, and the next day a giant mecha crashes through the surface followed by Yoko, a sharp-shooting girl from the surface. Together they team up and go to the surface, where there real adventure begins.


Overall comments:

The first 5 or 6 episodes are rediculous, hilarious, and just down-right awesome, with truly inspired rediculous mecha fights. The best part of this anime is the character Kamina, who is one of the greatest I have ever seen in an anime, he's completely rediculous and just downright awesome. Unfortunately though

Eventually there begins to be melodrama and a (weak) plot, which basically just serves to launch the characters into ever increasingly ludicrous fights. All in all the beginning of this anime is great, but it goes downhill once it begins to take itself too seriously, in my opinion. Still worth watching though.
