absolutely loved Generator Gawl!
It was and is still one of my fav animé.
I preferred the English dub to the Japanese original tho.

Fantastic English script with really engaging music and visual effects/action.

Other than Gawl, I was a big fan of Video Girl AI, I liked what they did with the Animé. It was a nice touch to what the manga brought us.
