Story: The story starts off pretty well. You have a lame ass protagonist join a super fleet of what I'm just gonna call air boarding fanatics but then it turns out there not all that he hoped when he realizes that they actually do pretty nasty things for money and then blah blah blah things happen and everything is solved through the power of love. The story boils down to trying to coexist with aliens and how the main characters want to defend them from the people attacking them because its a slow weekend or something along those lines since clearly the main villain put no effort into giving himself a reason for anything that he did. Obviously this series is not meant to be held up on its deep plot
Characters: This is where the main part of this series is and the reason you will either like it or hate it. This anime has a pretty big cast with actually a respectable amount of them going through character development. The main question is how bearable are they in the beginning. In the beginning its like watching a ship of 5 yr olds doing stupid shit and getting mad at one another with great speeds. Talho is one of the first to come out of this state and become bearable followed by Eureka and Renton like 20 episodes later then Holland and finally Dominic and Anemone although they don't rly change they just are willed into a relationship in the final episodes.
So first lets talk Renton and Holland. Renton is one of the more unbearable characters but then the authors actually do something smart in separating him from the others and he actually takes a journey and becomes a good character through it. Unfortunately it takes a while for him to begin his journey and he is insufferable for the majority of the anime before that but hey at least it happens. Holland on the other hand has a worse progression because he basically bitches about the same things and gets the same response for like 30 episodes till him actually becomes likeable.
Talho is quick. Honestly she didn't really need to go through much she just realized she still liked Holland and boom done
Lastly Eureka and Anemone. Errr ya for them its kinda like they use the male counter part for convenience sake until they go to sleep wake up the next morning and literally become obsessed with their male partners. So basically they do have character progression it just happens for no reason and is horribly handled. The good thing about this anime and its selling point is the romance between characters is really nice to watch and you actually can believe in the message there trying to get across when Rentaro still loves and protects Eureka no matter where a lot of anime just give you a cat girl and say that its great how their love persists through the barrier of cat ears and a tail. Also the two main characters actually get together before the end of the anime so you actually get to see their relationship which doesnt happen very often (though not for long because they literally put in some conflict cause there bored i guess)
Art/ Sound: it was mostly just okay however the romantic scenes were fricken beautifully done with some fantastic music and i still rewatch the scene of Rentaro and Eureka reuniting cause holy damn its just so good.
Enjoyment : if you can get past the slow beginning of everybody being insufferable for 20 episodes then you will love this anime as it really picks up after that and is amazing to watch (make good use of the fast forward button)
