A Machine Whale was slightly disappointing, the background of the entire episode was beautiful.
The ending with Bainas x Dick was nice.
It was OK overall.

what a lame ending!

liked the Zone though, really pretty

I finished watching this and.... I DON'T KNOW. The ideas behind it were brilliant, but with only 6 episodes... it lacked in pretty much every area. I think if this anime had been the standard 26 it could have been one of my favorite series. Seriously. The ideas were that great... but zero depth was able to be displayed in the amount of time given. They weren't able to make me give a fuck about, well, anything that was happening. And the "big revealed" in episode 5 was so obvious..... I don't know. I am sad that this anime was a waste of a great idea but........ oh well.

great last episode, although the scene between bainas/dick was definitely more than a little over-dramatic - good anime, although not great - there was a lot of potential here, but six episodes was just to short to really develop the story properly...

The End ?
And what is it ?
Not bad...
He is Dick...T____T

All in all, it's boring anime,
...good but some disappointing moments))
4/10

Sad that this was only 6 episodes it could have been a hell of a whole lot better if it were 12~24 episodes.

6/10 I loved the character designs and OP/ED the story could have been simply amazing if it had more room to develop.

Bainas (sp?)/Dick is my OTP for this series I seriously teared up when she was begging him to open the door.

I'm just thinking, after reading all these responses, would having more than 6 episodes really make it better? How? By continual battles with the military? But all the gut-wrenching angst from each of the characters? By Sam continually disobeying the captains orders?

The whole point of the story is the repopulating of Earth. Anything more that would have been a distraction to the main storyline. We got enough flashbacks to know about Dick, Maya, the clones, etc.

I just gave it a 7/10 because of the old-school artwork and the beautiful art, both in the desert and Zone scenes. The story, cliched (how many times have we seen the "dead earth, destroyed by man" storyline?

I've scored it 10 since 1st episode. I liked it the same way till this last episode.
Dick regained his memory a little, that's exactly what I wished for.
It was expected he'd go kill himself for others to survive.

Throwing a bunch of nice ingredients and mixing them together wont make a fine meal. Same here, nice individual ideas, but it seemed horrible together. Not enough character development, lots of unanswered questions, and main characters are way too cliche.

Can a sandworm eat Sam now? please? pretty please?

Well, I actually thought this was the best episode of the bunch. The last episode was pretty good too, but I thought the rest was dreadful; absolutely abysmal. I don't know though. The last episode kind of makes me think that maybe there was a good story in all of this mess afterall. Maybe someday, when I have the courage to rewatch it, I'll marathon it. It's only 6 episodes. I love shorter anime/shows. I think long-form anime is ridiculous unless it has an extremely good story or expansive setting/mythology. So this is actually the ideal length.

For now though, terrible first four episodes, mediocre to great ending... overall, 2/10

EDIT: oh yeah, just wanted to add. I thought Dick's death was beautifully directed and great use of the ending song in the scene as well.

Same here T_T
Even though the series was avarage at best, it had it's good moments also.

This felt like a movie that would have been far better if it was longer because it felt rushed.

Galaxy Express 999 is my favorite anime movie so I watched this because of Leiji's involvement and well, I actually dozed off a couple times watching this series. I didn't think it was bad necessarily, but it never rose beyond tolerable. So I gave it a 5/10.

And is it just me or is Sam one of the most annoying main characters in a while?

Good plot, alot of potential, but the short length made everything feel forced, rushed, and full of cliches.
6/10 could be much more.

Another good episode. Seems like the latter half was pretty decent :P
So Ozma has a whole bunch of new species and Maya sacrifices herself to populate a new world? That's ... interesting. Although I don't see how it still worked if Dick shot the weapon at it? Didn't expect him to come back; that was very surprising, although with Bainas asking him to open the door was just sad :(
The actual ending with greenery spreading everywhere was ... interesting, but the last shot with it growing vines and time passing was nice. ALSO THAT LAST SONG. Whoever did the BGM on this deserves massive kudos :P
So overall ... well, it was good? I mean, I don't exactly remember the first half but the last three episodes were pretty good. Sam was really annoying, but the awesome side characters were awesome. I LOVED the music, the art style kind of irked me but whatever. Although some things weren't really explained (like how the heck the Ozma thing worked ...) but it was actually ... pretty decent. 7/10

Overall descent

Wasn't much of a story, don't look forward to watch it

Graphics and Voice acting aren't bad
