Ok, we do have crappy Maetel Legend and other stuff that delayed my watching of these series by 10 years since its release in 2005. The first two episodes looked like another pathetic effort. But.

I have to disagree with another reviewer here. Or maybe I got used to garbage... maybe not. Being a Leijiverse fan, I can say this: Space Symphony Maetel is the #3 piece to watch after GE999 and GE999-2 movies. It is better than GE999-TV and better than Harlock-78.

It introduces new things to Leijiverse, it follows the lore. Creators do show us they're familiar with Legend of Galactic Heroes and Terminator 2, there really is a Death Star. But on everything else, it's a smooth, quality Galaxy Express show. And you know what... its message actually makes sense, unlike Queen Emeraldas, Maetel Legend and some other stuff.

CG is awful, but cell animation is good, on the level of GE999 films, however there are small things to criticize. The big problem I faced was tastelessly bright and contrast colors, which I fixed by reducing picture contrast by 40%, reducing saturation and increasing brightness a bit. After this, it looked like a valid leijiverse animation worth watching on my projector.
