Well, it's a Gen Urobuchi anime, so it wouldn't shock me if someone dies.

If I had to put money on someone, I'd say the little brother.

*edit* Although, I will say this series has a bit of a different tone than your typical Urobuchi anime...so maybe, maybe not.

Ledo already vaporized an entire fleet of pirates.

As for main characters, I'm betting on nobody dying, since apparently Urobuchi isn't the main writer, and as quoted from Wikipedia:

Gen Urobuchi explained on the official website that the message of the story is aimed towards those in their teens and 20s, who are either about to enter into society or recently have, and is meant to cheer them on and to encourage them that "going out into the world isn't scary". He also said that the feeling of this work will be different from others he's been involved with.


Can't read a word of Japanese though, so I have no idea if Wikipedia's just bsing.

The series is a collaboration between Gen and Murata. Gen wrote the first and the last episode.

After about a half year's worth of work, the Kazuya Murata was brought in as the series director. Murata had always had the idea for making a story involving people living on ships atop a world of water about ten years before the series started. Some of the story had already been arranged, but he introduced the concept of people living on giant boats, and Urobuchi, who had been involved since the beginning, liked the idea a lot and quickly worked it into the story. According to Urobuchi, as they revised the plot further, Murata tended to have a very good sense of judgement as to what to put in and what not to put in, and was clear about what he was looking for, so the organization went a lot smoothly than he thought it might have. Urobuchi was put in charge of writing the first and last episodes once the green-light was given for a thirteen-episode series in order to set the theme for the other writers.


Basically, I don't think this will be anything like Fate/Zero, Madoka, Psycho-Pass, etc.

I know I am. The first episode was so good. You introduce the mysterious hideaz and then just forget them for the rest of the show? That's just fuckin sloppy storywork. Oh yay the earth is all fine and good and oh look it's like heaven with the occasional storm aka the pirate raids that now are not even an issue anymore due to the boy with the epic mech. Meanwhile the rest of the universe can burn, right? It's never gonna reach earth, right?

Seriously the way people ignore this about the background setting makes me sick.

This show was always meant to be about teenagers first journey into society. It's meant to reassure people who are just entering society and show them that it's not that scary. Also Gen is not the main writer so the people who are now crying because there is not enough intergalactic warfare going on need to take a step back and look at their expectations a little.

I think it's going to add to the trauma when Gen finally takes over again but I hear he may only be writing the first and last episode, so don't get your hopes too high. I'm really enjoying the series as it is anyway.

That's just great for me.

Some people needs to stop saying that anybody is goin to die so brutally & sadistically (ala Another & Mirai Nikki I mean this ain't a Horror-anime although it's written by Urobochi Gen) in Suisei no Gargantia I mean this is just complete ridiculous for me till it makes me wanna facepalm'd UNLESS this anime would be the a same thing in the later episodes besides Psycho-Pass & Madoka Magica which it's dark, sadistic & Insanity everywhere I mean I'm really looking forward to see what's gonna happen next how the alien invades Gargantia.

What is wrong with these people these days....

This is NOT a horror-themed anime guys I mean why do you guys always thought that this is gonna be more like Mirai Nikki, Another & etc which they gonna die brutally?! Unless IF this anime would be the same thing as Psycho-Pass which it's dark, sadistic & insanity everywhere.


Nothing. They just had expectations after that epic first episode only to have them repeatedly disappointed since Ledo's fight with the pirate queen.

Why would someone request Gen to help them if he's not going to do his typical thing. So I expect something to happen to the very end. Even if the anime end I wouldn't trust it for one bit because he could pull it off in an ova or special. And remember how they gave away I think it was 8000 blu-ray copies it needs to have something to profit off of. (Hopefully)

Okay, I guess I'll bite on this one since I'm an aspiring novelist myself. As a writer, you don't want to be caught in that trap that you can only write in a certain styles, much like how a lot of actors don't want to be specifically known as a "dramatic actor" or a "comedy actor," even if it is their best strength. I'm guessing that's what Gen Urobuchi was trying with this. He's trying to branch out into different genres and styles so he isn't known as "that guy that can only do intense dramas."

I just don't get it. that's the most pointless post & thread title ever for me. Unless IF it's gonna be an unexpected things to come later episodes.

I mean why are these people thought that are they gonna get killed so brutally like we saw on Mirai Nikki & Another? Every other anime which isn't written by Urobochi Gen had a same thing like that. I mean this ain't Horror, dark or Jaw-dropping insanity themed anime like Psycho-Pass/Madoka Magica/Fate Zero.

Great, since NO one seems to agree with me & why am I the only one here in this page till they didn't replied some of my last post whatsoever?

Quite the opposite IMO - first two were typical mecha shows with nothing new to add and nice visual side.

Than series became interesting, with all that culture clash and how MC tries to adapt to new life. Mood improved and they focused on characters - I do hope it will remain like this till the end and no one will die.
In the end it feels like Macross-inspired series so let them stick up with it.

He actually wrote the first and last episode from what I hear but I agree the first two were the best episodes. Though the sudden development in the current episode gives me hope that shit may start going down soon.

I absolute refuse to believe that Urobutcher will ever work on a completely light hearted anime (at least this time). He must be planning something and crush our hopes for good. If not, then I'll be genuinely surprised.

It just has a very childish feel to me. The moe lewd aspects of the show that seem to cater to pedos doesn't help it move away from that feeling at all. If you disagree, that's great, but as I said, it's childish to me. I don't see why you should be bothered by my opinion, as it's just that. I'm not even using childish in a negative sense, lots of people love "childish" shows, in the sense that I use the word. I personally don't care for them though. I like things with a serious atmosphere, not easy-going slice-of-life which I think that at least we can both agree this is.

I'm not really complaining, as I've come to accept that's just the type of show Gargantia is. I was just hoping for something different than what it is.

Wise words from Gintoki.

Shingeki no Kyojin will bring our hope for mankind to an all-time low, and then the happy atmosphere of Suisei no Gargantia will bring our hopes back up. Different anime promote different emotions, although I personally prefer dark anime (although my favorites aren't really considered "dark"), the occasional bright and happy anime is good at boosting your morale during moments of tension.
Which is why I watch Gintama.
