For 13 episodes, this is definitely worth your time. The story is very unique: ad-mist an interstellar battle a young human soldier in a mecha suit is accidentally transported while retreating from battle to what was thought to be the lost civilization of Earth. The plot follows the boy as he tries to cope with the more carefree lifestyle of the ship-city Gargantia. Most of the conflict from this show derives from cultural misunderstandings, which is interesting to watch and unfold. The information and the mystery unfold in a very paced way. The viewer isn't constantly thrown so much information. Gargantia is able to calmly reveal aspects of the story in bits and pieces.
That being said nothing really pops from this show. The action is there, light humor is there, the characters are there, but they don't necessarily bring that "wow" factor. These weren't bad, but they weren't great just right smack down the middle. If you're looking for the "WOW" anime of the season personally I don't think it's this one, but I would definitely recommend it.
