If you look at my second favorite series Black Lagoon, you'll get an idea of what my normal fare is: guns, violence, war, debauchery, and loads of ass kicking is what I usually stick to, so I usually roll my eyes and fall asleep during a romance series. This was the exception to the rule.

OMG I can't believe I forgot this, this made my eyes itch but I can't remember when. And yes you are correct it is an excellent anime, perhaps because it's an original concept it was planned more excellently than manga to anime but it does have the perfect dose of warfare, love, science (very important in anime, if it doesn't make sense then it's like a gaping plot hole) and the animation itself is excellent there's a very unique style to it.
