review ratings information
ratings
Overall: 8.0
An ambitious mix of relentless action with a surprising depth of ideas and metaphors.

Story: 7.5
A genuinely intelligent story insinuates its way into the nonstop battles and chases.

Character Development: 8.0
A hint here and a detail there make a number of background characters far more intriguing. But Eva's well-depicted ambiguity, and Taishi's growing pains earn this score.

Art/Animation: 7.0
Great design, nice painted cels, decent depth and detail - only a lack of one or two defining, outstanding visual shots keeps it from being higher than a 7.

Translation: 7.0
Action translates easily.

Acting: 7.5
Eva and Maria are both voiced by Hiromi Tsuru. Somehow her performance as Eva is markedly better.

MPAA Equivalent: PG
There's nothing in "Geo-Armor" inappropriate for children unless you care to protect them from ideas and moral questions.
