I saw this movie yesterday, sadly not in 3D; it would have been waaayyy cooler in 3D. It was pretty good, not the best, but it certainly was not bad. Was this really based off of an anime, though?

I'm not sure if the film was based off an anime perse, but the concept seems pretty similar to the anime Neon Genesis Evangelion.

This movie is amazing, best thing I've seen in a theater this year.

If they had just let loose and embraced the absurdity, this could have been a Megas XLR movie.

Good to hear,I'll see it when I can.

It wasn't directly based on anything, but it sure takes a lot of inspiration from giant robot anime.
