| I just finished watching this series and am about to start the sequel. I noticed that many of the reviews on here gave it very low scores and mentioned the politics of the series as the main reason. Am I missing something here? I thought it was pretty clear in the story that the actions of the Abh are fairly morally questionable and we just happen to be seeing things from their perspective most of the time. It never felt like it was trying to push a negative political agenda or anything. If anyone can clue me in on the apparent controversy please do, as I must have missed something. Everything seemed completely fine to me, and the series was very enjoyable. |

| Some people just think they know what a story says better than its author or any viewer, or invent moral messaging to override what is given. Some people dance around Seikai claiming it to be the woke heaven, others run in circles screaming its propaganda piece for imperialism, eugenics, racism and/or and warmongering. In actuality its a space opera about a war in space. Shocking indeed. |
