1* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: When Japan got wind of this series, they loved it to a point the cast attended conventions there, the series got their own Japanese-language fanzine and even a theme song composed and sung by Akira Kushida (well-known mainly for his work with the ''Series/MetalHeroes'' franchise, and also did the opening for ''Series/TaiyouSentaiSunVulcan'' and the ending for ''Series/BakuryuuSentaiAbaranger'', among many others). Covered in detail [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TUnHKcknsd8 here]] (French only, without English subtitles).
2* GrowingTheBeard: The special effects significantly improve over the course of the series. Considering the scale of the production, the Lexos invasion in Episode 5 is a sight to behold.
3* NarmCharm: The whole point of the show is to ''be'' this.
4* NightmareFuel: When the series goes through CerebusSyndrome, it gets slightly BloodierAndGorier, the villains generally become significantly more wicked and sadistic, and bigger casualties happen. Even with the NarmCharm involved, some scenes can really make you feel uncomfortable.
5* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter: Lady Warcry is introduced as a sympathetic character motivated by AvengingTheVillain. This is never exploited beyond the short flashback to establish her motivations. Arguably justified due to the limited budget.
6* SugarWiki/VisualEffectsOfAwesome: Episode 3 has Thierry transforming without stock footage, and it looks ''awesome''.
