| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Great first episode and superb atmosphere, I think I will enjoy this story. |

'Everything is impossible until proven possible.' - Me |
| *pukes* |
| I definitely have superpowers. I can feel it in my balls. |
| That's the way to start a show, An invasion and complete surrender of a world without firing a shot. Not liking the Abh so far. |
 |
| The Abh seem rather arrogant to be honest. Or rather, I'm not sure if one should consider them human anymore after throwing away their humanity like that . . . Oh well. Interesting first episode. |
 |
| Maybe Jinto's dad was just trying to avoid bloodshed? Their defense satellite's armaments couldn't even make a dent on an Abh ship. It would just be a massacre if the Hyde government resisted. But then again that deal seemed more like an under the table agreement. I surrender the planet to you and give you full control of our armaments, in exchange you make me the ruler of the planet. |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| I love how this show is so in depth with a whole language and a whole different race of humankind, with it's own ideals and standards. Personally, I really like the Abh. I love how in the dire situation of the Earth at the beginning, Jinto managed to see a beauty in the thousands of ship soaring through the night sky. The innocence of a child really came through in that scene, and I hope we see such innocence come through in his character as an adolescent. |
 |
| this was cool. the first thing that stood out to me was the awesome soundtrack. actually, no, the first thing that stood out to me was the "elvish" at the start. i thought i downloaded the wrong version... third series (had to skip vandread for now, downloading too slow) on my 31 day anime challenge. |
| Now that was a good start. It was a bit info-heavy at first, but it became more clear as it progressed. I don't think what Rock did would have been wrong if he had consulted with the others first. They had no idea if their defenses would have been enough to defeat the Abh, and giving their citizens the ability to travel amongst the Abh systems was a good benefit. Having someone from their own system rule actually makes it a pretty decent deal overall in my opinion, but making that person yourself and making said deal on your own does make it look like you betrayed your country, whether or not that was Rock's intention. In any case, Jinto is not to blame. Since he's Abh nobility now and needs to learn the Abh's ways, we should get a better perspective of the Abh soon. I'm assuming for now that on a fundamental level the Abh are still human. Whether they are as a culture good people remains to be seen. I think it would be very easy to make a quick judgement of them based on their takeover of the Hyde, but I am reserving that judgement for now. |
| im very interested. the music was great. the old art and animation doesn't bother me. i think ill enjoy this |
 |
| Not gonna lie it took me 2 tries to watch this show because I didn't understand the beginning at all but I gave it a shot and I'm glad I did Plus it gives enough backstory on Jinto to explain the basic things about him :] |
 |
| Interesting start. Sunrise, back when they still made decent anime. Not sure if politics will remain a focus of this anime yet. I hope it does. The president selling-out his homeworld... it seems like he did it to protect them. He also set things up so that the next generation would take over (his son). |
  |
| Following the consensus of everybody here and say it was a very good start. Music was top notch, really cool story line, and my favorite part was Jinto staring out at the ships lighting up the night sky. Not sure why I liked it so much, either :). |
| Well, I have been told this show is a big hidden jem, let's see if it is, I plan to go throught the whole thing (all seasons). |

BurntJelly said: The president selling-out his homeworld... it seems like he did it to protect them. He also set things up so that the next generation would take over (his son). Right! That's my impression I had so I thought that the characters overreacted and blamed him way too much (Being colonised is better than dying) - But I guess in that situation everyone was very shocked. Overall good first episode though and looking forward to seeing where it goes. |
| Rock seems like a bit of a snake. The Abh are apparently very cautious of expending their ships on trying to tackle the Martine defense system, yet Rock goes behind the back of the entire planet and sells them out to the space elves, all for the sake of attaining status amongst the Abh. What's the point of having an executive secretary if you never consult them for anything? This anime looks amazing so far. Beautiful backgrounds, characters seem multi-dimensional, and it doesn't bombard you with exposition right from the start. |
