The first OP plays in the climax.
Mecha launch sequences.
The protagonist keeps getting stronger in the climactic fight with the villain.
Something vents steam.
An early enemy becomes a friend and eventually doting spouse and parent.
The friend who has no chance of winning keeps getting up, to the point that the villain gets a little shook.
One character plays with another's hair.
A cabbage is very detailed.
Characters frequently change outfits.
There's attention to detail with delays between light and sound.
A character is voiced by Miyuki Sawashiro.
A robot has a sense of humor.
Bankais.
