It's a certain kind of look that says "giant robot series" all over it, but sadly isn't unique to this show. (Hey! When does Kazuki get to pilot Freedom?) Meanwhile, Fafner the robot itself isn't all that striking, and some might actually call it cheesy—maybe that's the biggest fault of the animation, having a giant robot series where the robot isn't cool enough. Nonetheless the visual style is pleasing and thankfully avoids taking shortcuts.

For all the fun factor, though, this is actually a pretty brutal series. Its TV-MA rating is well-earned through occasional displays of intense graphic violence, including scenes of a seeming child's head being blown off, a rat smashed with a hammer, a man's face literally pummeled into a bloody pulp, characters riddled with bullets, and a man waving around an arm whose forearm has been reduced to its bones. Granted, these scenes are only flash points and not constant representations of content, but the series' ability to smoothly mix ugliness and light-heartedness without either seeming forced or awkward is amazing.
