My first review on this site and it's purely out of protest to the extremely negative reviews of this series. It's a one-of-a-kind series that will shake the foundation of your understanding of anime.
21 years ago, on the 15th September if 1999, a supergroup of Japanese anime creators gave birth to Alexander Senki. Instinctively you would say that this is not a 90's show, but something that was created in the 80's. The colours, (character) designs and score are a terrific blend of old school awesomeness and originality. I watched a lot of anime and there are only a few that really stuck out.
...
This show has the same ingredients. The storyline writes itself like an ancient Greek odyssey and it never got to that point that it felt dull, repetitive or in danger of losing its originality.
Yes, it's not a 'historical' anime (it's a sci-fi/fantasy with strong space opera elements) and the men are either half-naked or mostly naked (so are the women in this show). Is this something that can be perceived as extremely negative that deserves an overall score of 3 or less? I don't think so. As a matter of fact, it supports the overall originality in this show and it doesn't shy away from taboo subjects.
For those who have reviewed this show extremely negatively; please give it a second run. You might be surprised. For those who are thinking about watching this show, but whose expectations are extremely low because of the reviews; don't stop at the first episode.
