"The mecha genre is one of the oldest anime genres around and for good reason. Many of the most popular series that people still talk about years later happen to be mecha anime, but thanks to this success numerous other series have tried to gain that same level of popularity. This means that nowadays, a mecha anime must really set itself apart in some way to be memorable and now that the first half of Captain Earth has been released in Collection 1, is the series worth picking up?"
Looks like Sentai slashed the price of this its selling for $32 bucks now...
