Ok, I don't often write reviews so this'll be a quick one. I've seen many people turning up their noses at this because it's puppetry and looks silly and isn't anime etc. etc.

The fight scenes were clearly the highlight, but the music, voice acting, effects, plot, the puppets themselves... it all comes together to form something so shockingly brilliant and so far beyond my greatest expectations that there really is nothing else I can say to recommend this.
It's true that it might not be for everyone, I know I probably loved it because I used to be a big fan of Thunderbirds, but it is far, far, far more advanced than any other work of puppetry I've ever seen, so I implore anyone reading this to give it a try, and if you're like me, you'll be completely blown away.
One thing I would suggest - make sure to watch episode 0, which sort of gives an introduction to the series and how it was created etc. (You can stop when it starts the 'preview' bit in the last ten minutes or so, it's literally just the first 10 or so minutes of episode 1).
