Thanks everyone. Although I'm a bit confused now. Is it more actiony like Saber Marionnette J or is it romance comedy like Girls Bravo or caught somewhere in the middle like Tenchi?

It's more action. While there are some love interests and triangles that form, the main focus of the show is the conflict between the women crew and the 3 men that end up having to join up with them, and their battles with an unknown enemy as they try and get home.

I think I can best describe the show of merging the main themes of Star Trek: voyager (originally hostile crews forced to join forces on a single ship while stranded thousands of light years away) with the themes of Adams Rib (battles and misunderstandings between the sexes taken to extreme heights). It's got bit of shin getter robo thrown in with the combining robots into various forms best suited for different situations, and it's got the romantic stylings of no need for tenchi or Ranma 1/2 as well as similar melodrama.

It's an original, and overall above average series that while having moments of cheese, is still fairly good just so long as you don't go in expecting utter brilliance.
