----------------------------------------
I kust watched the first OVA, and I must say it's a great anime, far better than what I heard about it. You have basically everything you need from a SF/action series of the 80's, and with Mamoru Oshii's direction above all. After the end of this first episode, I really look forward to the second one and I hope it will be subbed one day. Apart from that I don't have so many solutions to watch it, the US release has one of the worst dubs ever and is cut, there probably won't be a new edition in the next 5 years, I don't understand Japanese that well (don't even know if a DVD has been released for this one), so I would be really grateful if a fansub team did the next 3 episodes out of pure compassion for the fans ;)

In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same.

(Jacut, I am not surprised to see you here xD)

Just watched the OAV, too bad only the first one was subbed, but I did watch the other ones in japanese. That's a shame there is no sub for them, and only a bad english-dubbed version.

Concerning the first OAV, it gave me a good impression. I got Gundam vibes from it, maybe because it was made during the same period. And I liked the opening theme a lot. :D

Yep, despite what the reviews in this site claim I also found this OVA to be pretty good. But it's such a shame that this never got a sequel, considering how the story ends.

I wonder if the population who have lived their lives on the Moon are still capable of returning to Earth with respects to the gravity they are experiencing.

It seems like that every character native to the Moon that we have been introduced to thus far is a miner, which makes sense as that is the primary function for the society there, but there must be other jobs too.

While this is decent there isn't really anything world shatteringly different here. In fact this feels like countless other things released around the same time period. Also, I feel like the action sequences in this aren't very well done, there is really no sense of urgency in them.

Wow this gives me the nostalgia feels. All the corny sound effects that were a staple of the cartoons, anime or western, I grew up on in the 80's LOL This was surprisingly entertaining even with all the stereotyping in full force.

I like the music and the overall idea of the story seems good. But so far, nothing has made me really care about any of the characters or their struggles.

Crunchyroll random has done it again... I actually really liked this first episode. I feel like we were given enough information about the main characters and their motives without it being over-explained or thrown out to us in random ways. So Shun has a brother that was allegedly falsely accused of something... I couldn’t figure out if the brother is still alive or not (maybe I missed that bit). Looking forward to seeing where the story goes from here.

Pretty average first episode, very cookie cutter.

Surprised Jun didn't get caught again given that he just went home after a jailbreak. And then he just magically became part of the guerillas

Great music and animation though, looking forward to the rest
