Judging from the response it receive from Japan would tell you the
result (hint: Garasaki was pretty well receive in Japan, but BP isn't...)

I don't think so - BP just left me confused - the story just seems to go
from here to there without a good reason, and the characters are so
"generic" that it's hard to like them... To me, it has pretty much all the
elements of robot anime, but it just seems to be not very done, as the stuff
doesn't stick together that well. The heroine of the story has a whiny
voice, which is always a minus for a "serious" series...
