I saw the series when I was a teenager it first aired on Australian television (SBS) in late 90's it had a profound impact on me growing up. I'd never seen anything like it before then and it absolutely blew me away.
I personally think the whole series in an absolute masterwork. I do agree with the original commenter though it is kind of an outlier amongst mecha genre.
In an odd way, it's the same lightning-in-a-bottle formula that made the Golden Era of The Simpsons so endearing: a deconstruction of a worn-out formula coupled with shameless-yet-tasteful references to other media.
