Discoveries:

This show is fantastic and keeps you entertained till the end. This show feels like a mix of old anime and new anime. The corny nature of the show, with the seriousness of modern anime. This is an extremely enjoyable anime that I gave a chance to on a whim and I was expectable and extremely pleased. The characters are interesting and the scenario of the show talks about issues of dictatorships and oppression. It is a fun and compelling anime that I was pleasantly surprised. The ending was interesting, though I had some suspicion about what was going to happen.

The creation of the greatest heroes the world will never know.
