What I liked:
*The art - There are a lot of beautiful depictions of the scenery of alien planets as well as alien races
*Accuracy - Call me picky, but it bugs me when anime's or movies are so blatantly scientifically inaccurate. This anime goes into detail, and deals with issues like different atmospheric conditions and alternate evolution.
*The characters - Aside from Mail and Tail, who I found to be kind of obnoxious, I fell in love with all of the characters, who are presented in a way which you can understand their motives, even those of the "bad guys".
What I disliked:
*Space battles - The space battles, be it between ships or Nodos, tended to drag on and on and weren't very interesting. Kind of like the earlier Star Wars, so if you're into that, this anime is definitely for you.
*Slow - The first couple of episodes are great, but past that they get kind of dull and slow, and entails a lot of politics and the aforementioned space battles.
*Time??? - I'm somewhat of a sci-fi geek, however, I got kind of lost with all the time jumps and black holes and absence of space-time and whatnot.
