| lol if this confused you, never watch Vanilla Sky O.o If you idiots want to make broad general claims about the story making no sense, how about backing it up with a valid argument? or better yet why don't you go write and produce something better... |
| chamber /10 that is all... pretty good concept... characters and atmosphere are too generic though... |
 |
| Chamber! NOOOOOOOO! I'm gonna miss you Chamber. You were an awesome mech/AI. Pretty solid series. Love the atmosphere, setting, and characters. I would love a second season if this show can get it. Time to watch the OVAs and specials! Great episode! |
HalibelTheEspada said: Personally loved Chamber's final words... "Go to Hell, Tin Can!". I don't care if he's just an A.I. to some, what matters is he showed feelings... whether others consider them feelings or not! That feels wrong, but whatever, Chamber ftw! Cheesy "Amy going to Ledo" scene, "Oh shiz we have a secret-super-ultra-ultimate weapon after all" was meh. To be honest Chamber made the show for me, everything else was meh. |

| Would have been nice if they dropped the fan service and focused more on characters like Ridget, pinion, and Amy. I didn't really like the sudden ending. I didn't feel like Ledo was fighting for Gargantia. It felt like he was fighting more for Amy and a couple of people. Meh. |
 |
| CHAMBER NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO what an epic anime solid 8/10 for me loved it great plot twist some ROmance good action and decent character development and o yeah FLYING SQUIRRELS |
 |
| 8/10 :') very heartwarming ending. but Pinion has got to be the shittiest character Konishi Katsuyuki has every had to voice for. An insult to the great Kamina. |
~my list
| oh wow that was a good show, can't wait to watch the sequels. 8/10 |
| Recommend me an anime |
| During the first episode I had thought that at first it was just a generic mecha show, but I'm glad it turned out very differently. Was worth the watch 8/10 |
 "To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment" |
| Maaan. What a good series. I had watched it when it first came out, but I dropped watching all anime/manga for a long time. Decided to come back and this was one of the things I remembered. Amy entering in the final battle was super cliche. I also thought her character was really annoying, but I understand why she does everything she does. Noooo! Chamber! I had read some slight spoilers, so I knew someone was going to die, and I had hoped it would not be Ledo, but I'm still sad that Chamber had to die. Also, I really hated Pinion in the beginning > middle, but at the ending he certainly redeemed himself and he even got his own little 'harem' which I thought was cool. ^_^ 8/10 Series for me. Would re-watch maybe 6-8 months later. |
| Not bad show rate it for 7/10 i much enjoy watching majestic prince than this. |
 |
| Very solid series, 8/10. Would have given it a 9 if there was more romance. |
| Idk, it's between a 6 and 7 for me. The world building, sci-fi aspects, and setting were nicely done but I slowly stopped caring after episode 9. Mecha's never been my favourite thing to watch so I lost interest. The ideas were good though. Might rewatch the last few episodes again because I was tired when I watched it the first time |
| Simply Beautiful ~ nice character designs, very colorful and warm i love watching science stuff on tv things like futurescape and all those hypothesis about human development , space travel , warmholes , modifying human dna to adapt the body to harsh environments , develpment of AI so close to being human it could become your friend or family (chamber <3), nano machines (gargantia's energy source) , and scenarios about global cataclysms that change the fate of humanity/earth (ice age) +++ All of this is taken and cleverly adapted in this great anime! They even pick on religion, ruling by fear and worship lol ~ bout time we get outta the "dark ages" anyways theres food for though in this |
~_~ ! |
| Man what an awesome ride that was, Thought the whole show was great from start to finish and now to watch the OVA's! 9/10! |
| Wow this way waaaay better than expected. The animation was so-so most of the time and it had a lot of silly plot-holes and nonsense but overall it was good. We got some cool battles and characters (Chamber is beyond cool dammit) good ost and a decent story. I seriously enjoyed how they portrayed this post apocalyptic world and how Ledo learned the truth. I also like how the show was "split" between the slice of life element at the first episodes (Up to 7 I think?) and then the other half was full of action. The characters had a lot of "unique" personalities and I did got interested in them but meh no character development at all besides Ledo and Champer. I guess that's what the OVAs are for? xD Solid 7/10 from me. Chamber <3 |
 |
| Good show. Chamber was a total bro. I also liked the transition from learning the fun side of the world in the first half to Ledo learning about the truth of the Hideauze in the second half. |
| Chamber calling Striker names clearly showed that he was malfunctioning. Doesn't change that he was right. I wonder about Bellows role in all this though. She didn't have a defined role there, despite being one of the few characters - especially woman, especially if you discount Amy and her two friends - that were always around, always there when someething important happend and who had distinct clothing etc. Heck, even Mayta (the girl in Pinions group) had a more distinctive scene, even though i can't remember seeing her *before* Pinion decided to leave Gargantia. |
| nice relaxing anime with great opening and ending music 7/10 |
 |
| Well, this didn't suck like certain circles would have me believe. It's a little stronger than Psycho Pass for having more than just the main lead be interesting on top of better developed relationships. At the same time, the whole character arc involving Mr Salvager while interesting feels out of nowhere, because the biggest problem Gargantia has is feeling like two different shows connected by one character in Ledo. It's kind of unfortunate too, 'cause the first 2/3 or so of the series convinces me Urobuchi knows how to write slice of life. Cool show. And I don't mean that sarcastically this time. |
 |
| 07/10 |
| Meh. It was alright, but IMO the plot twists towards the end killed it. It also seemed too predictable the moment I saw Kugel and Striker. They tried to pull an Apocalypse Now, but failed. |
| Typing on an ipad is like driving carpentry nails with a sledgehammer. |
| 'Twas a good way to finish the season/series. And yea, it was a bit Chliche but I'm a sucker for that kinda crap anyway. Chamber stole the episode though, everything coming out of his mouth -er voice modulator was pure gold. |
 |
| Chamberrrrrrr!!! :< I really enjoyed watching this anime! I hope there'll be a second season! >_< |

| Amazing end to a spectacular series Can't wait to watch the OVAS! 9/10 |
| Woah, it was really good, I liked it! The pacing was fine for me, enough character development, but I think Amy should have appeared more at the second half, but I still have to watch the OVA so... The fanservice really bothered me, so I can't give it more than a 7/10 Overall, very good anime! |
 |
| I enjoyed the series, the setting and the world was pretty solid. I loved the art. The story / pacing was a bit of a mix with some neat ideas like the creatures I can't pronounce and a few funny episodes. I liked the characters but felt they were a bit flat, there really wasn't much chemistry between the male and female lead. Overall I enjoyed it but I wouldn't necessarily watch it again so 7/10. However, I might check out the ovas at a later date. |
| That was some gorgeous Itano Circus. We will always remember you Brobot Chamber |
 Novels I have read/am reading pending approval: since November 10 2022 |
| well dropped from 8 to 7/10 because really weak ending. Since when did Lobster and pinion even liked each other? cringy conversation unneeded Pilot mode - if this would be so strong, they would have used it back in Ep1 when fighting the "decisive" battle. Deus ex machina Gargantia cannon Weak mecha fight. Chamber was the star of this anime. Disappointing ending to a great show. Would have deserved a much better ending. |
| "This emotion is mine alone. It is for Madoka alone." - Homura or how I would descripe Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica. |
| I think there are enough nice small touches in this series that they overshadow some of the bigger negatives. The writing especially is above average. I liked how the series never really told a good vs. evil story. Even in the end, Ledo never intended to kill his adversary until he learned he was fighting against an AI trying to make sense of faulty logic. The only real problem I had in the ending was Gargantia's return with that mass driver gun. If the battle was fought in the sky, why attack the fleet, who didn't seem like much of a threat? For an anime that for the most part avoided the wholesale massacre of nameless "enemies" in order to make the main characters look cool, there didn't seem to be any point in the Gargantia doing what it did. |
| Ah, man! There it goes, one of the best Mecha/Sci-Fi/Romance Anime... After episode 8 (When the fleet broke apart, and Ledo left Amy for his senseless crusade against the Hideauze) I got already nervous. Such a major plot twist with so many implications, and only five more episodes. But new sub plots still kept coming, and with Striker's appearance I actually doubted the series would come to an end at all. Or if it did, this end would not do this great series justice. And that is exactly how I felt after watching this last episode. It could have been so much more. Yes, all the main plot parts came to a close. And yes, Chamber vs. Striker was awesome. But to me, it felt all so rushed. It was way too much for just one episode. |
| The first episode is promising. I thought that episode 9 will be the turning point, but I guess I'm wrong. 5/10 |

| Chamber was the MVP for sure, how come such artificial intelligent had such emotion to its pilot ? So they managed to live in peace on earth but they seems forgetting about those who are still fighting against squid like aliens in other side of the universe, i kinda feel bad about them, especially the people who live in Avalon they won't ever understand a true peace like Ledo. Pinion is the real winner here, he got himself a redhead pirate Queen, she's also a keeper forsure not to mention Rackage has two sex slaves apparently, so it's like cathing 3 birds in single shot, Pinion you lucky bastard you Overall score 8/10, i wouldn't for a 2nd season but it got cancelled apparently |
 |
| Too bad Chamber had to sacrifice itself like that, I guess it had an attachment to Ledo and it wanted him to live on. I wish though the writer had the balls to kill other characters or even one or two to set the intensity, but no one except that commodore who was a bland character. Without Chamber Ledo is a shit of a character for me but appearance design was done superbly, let me say the animation quality is the reason I gave this one a fair rating. Also I liked Pinion's hair when its down even Rackage is falling for him. So 6/10. |

| Well... a nice little anime. Not much of story emotions or character but it sure was a beautiful run. It was a nice ending though. Gotta admit Chamber is one badass bot!! The soundtrack was catchy too. All in all it was a good happy ending. Plus... |
 |
| a very nice series overall. i was hoping there would be more mecha action like in the 1st episode, was bummed out later, and i still hold it in high regards due to traversing in to an older themed (lack of better wording) plot. |
| anime/manga version of steam would be awesome - https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=1625396 |
| Wow, never thought that I would like Chamber and the pirate queen that much in the end. Pretty good ending actually, though I wonder what the specials and OVAs will be about? 7/10 |
| Decent show, wish it was longer though, needed more development with our MC and May. I suppose the show is about him finding peace with himself and can accept that but wish we could see a resolution with the Galactic Alliance and their never ending war that doesn't need to be fought. Ludo is lucky to live out his days on a blue planet without constant threat. |
 |
| Pretty solid series overall. Loved the premise. I've always had an interest for the concept of leaving the Earth behind and what could happen in the far future with our civilization. Despite being short, the series had a great story, characterization and world-building. I wish they had made more. |
| That was a real cop out |
